Chapter 270
270 Ah Yu Gives Candy
Liu Shi might still continue to brood over the matter if someone else had told her not to be so worried, but as long as Old Madam Wang spoke, she felt much more at ease.
“Even if there’s really something, it’s fine.” Old Madam Wang was already calm, so she was naturally not worried about this.
As they spoke, two people suddenly came looking for them, looking rather flustered.
Liu Shi walked out and was a little surprised. “Da Niu, what’s going on?”
When the person called Da Niu saw Liu Shi, he craned his neck again and only looked behind her.
“Ah, hello, Madam Chuanman. Is your mother-in-law around?” Da Niu hurriedly asked.
Little Ah Yu heard a sound in the house and stuck out her furry head. “Uncle Da Niu! Grandma is at home. Why are you looking for her?”
Da Niu and the person beside him did not say anything. They felt that it was not good to say this in front of the child.
Liu Shi simply picked up Little Ah Yu and shouted into the house, “Mother, Da Niu and the others are looking for you.”
Old Madam Wang replied, “Got it. Go and do your work.”
Liu Shi carried Little Ah Yu far away. Little Ah Yu twisted her neck and asked, “Mother, are Uncle Da Niu and the others leaving?”
As she spoke, Little Ah Yu exhaled white steam from her mouth. She deliberately opened her mouth and emphasized every word.
She seemed to care a lot.
“Leaving?” This was something Liu Shi hadn’t expected. “Who did you hear it from?”
Little Ah Yu: “Uncle Da Niu is talking to Grandma. He said that he’s going to the county city. I think someone is coming to pick him up. Why is he going to the county city?”
Little Ah Yu only knew that the county city was even more lively than their town. She had been there with Grandma a few months ago.
That was where she met Big Brother Ah You.
Liu Shi’s expression changed as she hurriedly carried Little Ah Yu further away.
Ah Yu’s ears were too sharp. She could still hear after walking such a long distance.
Da Niu was none other than the few people Zhang Zhan had encountered on the way back. He had asked the official to send them to Nanhe Town.
At first, the official even stayed with those people. After staying for half a month, Zhang Zhan did not summon them. The official was worried and simply left them at Old man Wang’s house. They returned to the county city to work.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the end of October. Da Niu and the others were already a little embarrassed from staying here, so they helped out after arriving at the Wang Family.
Later on, they were even deceived by Chi Tu and the others and joined them to do menial tasks.
As time passed, Liu Shi almost forgot that they were related to the officials.
These people had not undergone any special training, so they naturally did not know how to keep secrets.
After staying in the Wang Family for a few days, they realized that these people were very simple and kind. They told them their experiences as if they were pouring bitter water.
Liu Shi also knew that these people had offended the previous county magistrate.
She wondered what her mother-in-law would say to them. She hoped that trouble would not descend on them because of this.
Liu Shi simply brought Little Ah Yu to the kitchen and did the rest of the work. The entire family sat down and ate together.
Da Niu and the others were also there, but their expressions were a little nervous. They were even distracted during dinner.
They were going to the county city to be witnesses. They didn’t know if it was good or bad. They wondered if the new county magistrate was good or bad.
It had been a long time and they had almost forgotten about it.
Old man Wang did not know what had happened and was still eating happily. When he ate the duck leg meat, he felt that it tasted good and picked up a piece for Old Madam Wang.
Old Madam Wang took the meat and threw it back into Old man Wang’s bowl. “Eat your own food. You’re like a child!”
Old man Wang felt wronged. “I think this tastes good and I want you to eat more.”
“I don’t have hands, or can’t hold my chopsticks steadily?” Old Madam Wang retorted skillfully. “Mind your own business. I’m not counting on you to do things for me. I’ll feel lucky if you don’t cause me trouble!”
Old man Wang was confused. What was going on? Why did she suddenly speak so sarcastically for no reason?
Could it be that he had snored for too long last night and had affected her sleep?
Old man Wang did not notice that when Old Madam Wang spoke, Da Niu and the others’ faces suddenly turned red and green. They were all a little ashamed.
They vaguely knew that Old Madam Wang’s words were not aimed at Old man Wang, but at them.
This was because Da Niu had previously said that once they resolved the previous matter and successfully charged the previous magistrate, they would definitely not forget the Wang family’s great kindness in the future.
Old Madam Wang did not care. She only hoped that these people would not cause trouble.
Otherwise, the Wang Family that had taken them in would definitely not have a good time.
After lunch, Da Niu and the others went to the Nanhe Inn. There, a few officials were waiting to bring them to the county city.
Originally, these people lived next door to Wang Chuangui, but they left immediately. That afternoon, Wang Chuangui, who was already used to the lively atmosphere next door, suddenly felt a trace of loneliness.
Wang Chuangui looked out of the window and muttered.
Little Ah Yu happened to pass by with a chrysanthemum in her hand. When she heard Wang Chuangui’s words, she looked up and said, “Second Uncle, do you miss Uncle Da Niu?”
Wang Chuangui: “…What would I miss him for?”
Why would a grown man miss another man?
At the thought of that scene, Wang Chuangui’s goosebumps rose.
“Then Uncle, study quickly. The exam is about to begin. Second Uncle, you have to succeed!” Little Ah Yu clenched her fists and tried to encourage him.
Wang Chuangui: “There shouldn’t be any problems… right?”
The entrance examination was in February. There were only three months left. Time was tight and the mission was heavy. Wang Chuangui had already been ordered not to do anything else and to focus on preparing for the examination.
According to the teacher, Wang Chuangui could already pass the examination steadily. He was the most talented student the teacher had ever seen.
However, he had only studied for a short period of time. He still had to go to the county city for the exam. The exams would last three days and there were three exams to take.
The Wang family was worried that Wang Chuangui would not be able to handle it. After all, Wang Chuangui had been paralyzed for five years. His body was definitely not comparable to ordinary examinees.
“Second Uncle, you have to work hard. Grandma said that she wants you to be a role model for the Big Brothers!” Little Ah Yu counted with her fingers. “Second Brother, Third Brother, and Fourth Brother have to participate as well. Big Brothers can fail, but Second Uncle has to pass.”
Wang Chuangui looked bitter, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
If he really did not pass the exam and was even inferior to his two sons, he would really buy a piece of tofu and kill himself. How embarrassing would that be!
Seeing that Wang Chuangui was especially nervous, Little Ah Yu even took out a candy and placed it in Wang Chuangui’s palm.
“Second Uncle, this is for you. Big Brother and the others all said that they’ll be very brave after eating this candy!”
Wang Chuangui pinched the slightly soft “candy”. Although he did not eat it, he still felt a sense of sweetness in his heart.
As expected, Ah Yu had him in her heart. It was not in vain that he treated her well.
“Second Uncle, try it!”
Little Ah Yu could not wait. “After you taste it, tell me if it’s delicious. If it’s delicious, I’ll bring it to Big Brothers. If it’s not, I’ll leave it to you because Grandma said that she was afraid that you would fall asleep in the examination hall!”
Wang Chuangui: “…” It was a familiar formula.
