Capítulo 1845: Chapter 1845: The Chen Family Has Returned
The old lady began to feel choked up as she spoke.
Shu Yu could only hold her, gently patting her back. The carriage was very quiet, and gradually the old lady fell asleep.
It wasn’t until the carriage reached the city gate and stopped that she woke up.
“Are we there?”
Shu Yu nodded and tidied her clothes a bit. When the carriage entered the city, the old lady lifted the curtain to look outside.
Yesterday, they hastily entered the city, focused solely on finding the location of the escort agency, without properly observing Chenggu County’s appearance.
Now, having found her sister lost for decades, and at peace, the old lady finally had the mind to observe.
Shu Yu leaned over to introduce things to her, “That courtyard was newly built; back then, when the rebels barged in at night, they burned down most of the houses.”
“Those people are truly despicable.” The old lady fumed with rage.
Shu Yu pointed to another place, “That area is the most prosperous street in Chenggu County, bursting with food, drinks, and entertainment. When Grandma has time, you can go there with Aunt.”
“And that spot, it’s…”
As Shu Yu spoke, her brow suddenly furrowed, and she called out directly to Ying Dong on the carriage shaft, “Stop the vehicle.”
The old lady looked full of suspicion, “What happened?”
“That shop belongs to Chen Bing’s family.”
The old lady turned abruptly to look, and her gaze instantly became icy.
Shu Yu said, “That shop previously only had one staff watching over it daily, why is it so lively today?”
At Chen Family’s grocery store entrance, a circle of people had gathered, someone shouting loudly inside, making a racket, unclear what was happening.
As they wondered, Third Lu ran over from the carriage behind, “Why stop and not move?”
The old lady sneered coldly, pointing to the Chen Family shop, “That’s the lousy shop run by that old beast.”
Shu Yu, “…” The old beast indeed?
Third Lu turned his head and, clearly seeing there was excitement to be had, hurriedly said, “Seems there’s a dispute there, I’ll go check it out.”
Once said, he darted over and squeezed himself into the crowd.
Unwilling to lag behind, the old lady deftly intended to get off the carriage too.
Shu Yu quickly assisted her down, and several people from the rear carriage also came over, thus arriving at the outer layer of the Chen Family grocery store.
With a few lads making way, the old lady finally squeezed in, immediately spotting the man inside who was spitting as he shouted loudly.
Shu Yu asked the woman watching the commotion beside her, “What’s going on? Who is this person?”
“Miss, you’re from out of town, right?”
Shu Yu nodded, “Yes, we were just passing by when we saw a lot of people gathered here, so we came to have a look.”
The woman instantly sparked interest, very eagerly introducing the situation to them, “This man is the Young Owner of this grocery store.”
The Young Owner? Shu Yu narrowed her eyes; has the Chen family returned from the prefecture?
But the woman followed up by saying, “The Chen family went to the prefecture earlier this year. They said the old man in the city had fallen ill, so the entire family went to visit. My, they’ve been gone for over two months. So, the shop was left to the sole staff to watch over. And today morning, the Young Owner of the Chen family returned, saying he came back for stock.”
Shu Yu raised her brows; her previous speculation was indeed correct. Just about these days, the Chen family would return.
