The old lady’s eyes lit up slightly. That’s right, if those two soldiers were nice, they would help check the travel pass.
If Yuan Shanchuan didn’t have a travel pass, the possible area they had to search would at least be within a hundred miles from home.
Seeing that the old lady had calmed down, Shu Yu did not say anything more.
“Then this matter is decided? It’s getting late. Let’s go to bed early after dinner.”
The old lady nodded and regained some energy. She went to the kitchen with Shu Yu.

The next morning, the old lady drove all the chickens in the yard into the chicken cage and packed all the belongings that she had not brought away in time. Following this, she got on the mule carriage and prepared to go to the county.
As soon as she got onto the carriage, she saw Lu Sanzhu staggering in from outside, looking as if he had not woken up yet.
The old lady was stunned and asked him, “Sanzhu, you didn’t come back the whole night?”
Lu Sanzhu yawned, “Isn’t that so? Didn’t you ask my wife to tell me yesterday to find out about the fourth brother-in-law? I was busying myself with it.”
The old lady was surprised to find out that the lazy Sanzhu would spend so much effort just because of a sentence from her.
She got down from the mule carriage, walked up to him, and patted his arm,
“You’ve worked hard. Go back and rest well.”
Lu Sanzhu nodded. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Shu Yu. His body suddenly swayed, and he looked as if he was about to faint as he said weakly, “Mother, don’t worry. I have many friends. I’ll definitely get some news soon.”
After saying that, he walked past the old lady and staggered to Shu Yu, ‘Yu, don’t you think I’ve lost a little weight recently? Lately, work has been really too tiring.”
The old lady was speechless. He could just get lost. She did not have such a son.
Shu Yu was amused and handed him a piece of meat, “Let Third Aunt cook something delicious for you to nourish yourself.”
Lu Sanzhu instantly perked up and ran home with the meat, not even giving the old lady a second glance.
The old lady was so angry that she laughed. She pointed at his back and said to
Shu Yu, “This dog. I really shouldn’t have had too much hope for him.”
“Grandma, Third Uncle is like this. Don’t be too calculative with him. Let’s get in the carriage and go back to the county.”

Shu Yu quickly drove the carriage to the county. She knew that the old lady was anxious, so she didn’t delay and even rushed a little.
Therefore, she didn’t stop when she met Tang Wenqian and Madam Tang.
When Madam Tang saw the familiar mule carriage flash past, she frowned.
“Didin’t she see us? Yesterday, you said that their family was pretty good. How can they be good when they’re so rude?”
Tang Wenqian looked at his mother in surprise, “Mother, in the past, when other villagers headed to the county by ox cart, they didn’t necessarily greet us either.”
Madam Tang choked. Tang Wenqian had phrased it quite politely.
It should be said that when the villagers saw them, they would most definitely greet them. After all, Tang Wenqian was the only scholar in the village, and he had passed the county-level imperial exam at a young age. This was something that Shangshi Village was very proud of.
It was just that when they greeted Tang Wenqian and Madam Tang, the latter usually didn’t respond.
As the mother of a scholar, Madam Tang was quite aloof.
Firstly, she had such a promising son, so it was normal for her to be aloof. Secondly, ever since Tang Wenqian became a scholar, many had wanted to take advantage of him and ask him for help..
