Chapter 1351: Forget About the Beads

Chapter 1351: Chapter 1351: Forget About the Beads

Shu Yu regained her senses, exhaled slowly, and forced a smile, “It’s nothing, I just thought of some unpleasant things.”

“Is it related to the beads?” Yuan Shanchuan, who now worked for the government, had broadened his horizons and easily thought of complex matters.

Shu Yu nodded, “Sort of, Fourth Uncle, luckily you told me about this. I did find those beads familiar before but couldn’t remember where I’d seen them; now at least I have an idea and feel more at ease.”

“I’m worried that being associated with the black market could bring trouble.”

Indeed, if it was as she imagined, it would really be a big problem.

Shu Yu was silent for a moment, then looked up seriously, “Fourth Uncle, don’t mention anything about the beads to anyone in the future. You’re right; associating with the black market is not good. From now on, you should completely forget about the beads.”

Yuan Shanchuan opened his mouth, initially wanting to ask if she had encountered any trouble and if she needed his help in any way.

But then he remembered Shu Yu’s current status and acquaintances. If serious matters arose, finding those people would be more appropriate, and he himself might become a hindrance to her.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shanchuan nodded, “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

“Let’s go back and eat.”

Only then did the two return, and once they reached the back courtyard, Shu Yu instinctively looked at Little Song Le.

The little guy was sitting next to Quanquan, seemingly competing to see who could eat faster. Lu Sixing was trying to stop them, while on the other side of Little Song Le sat the woman Meng Yunzheng had bought to take care of him.

This child was much more cheerful now, compared to last year, he seemed like a completely different person.

“Yu?” the old lady’s voice sounded in her ear.

Shu Yu turned back and sat down with a smile beside her.

The old lady, however, felt her expression was a bit off and asked concernedly, “What were you talking about with your Fourth Uncle? You seem like you have something on your mind.”

“It’s nothing, I just thought of some business matters.” She quickly changed the topic, “Grandmother, how many dishes have been served?”

The old lady saw she was unwilling to say more and didn’t press further, “Three dishes have been served already, see, the two dishes served earlier, I put them in your bowl, hurry and eat.”

“Grandmother, you’re the best.”

Shu Yu temporarily put her worries aside and ate her meal calmly.

Zaozao’s one-month banquet was particularly lively, and halfway through the meal, Daniu went to several tables to offer toasts.

He was holding a small wine glass, just wetting his lips, nothing more.

Before long, this dissatisfied others, urging him to switch to a larger glass.

Especially Second Zhou, who had probably started with two glasses of wine, was now somewhat tipsy, insisting that Daniu give him face as an uncle by drinking three glasses in succession.

Daniu didn’t want to reek of alcohol when holding his daughter; the little girl was still sensitive to smells and would cry if uncomfortable.

So Daniu made the excuse that he still had to handle business at the workshop later and couldn’t drink much.

The Lu family didn’t push it; among the elders, besides Third Lu, none were heavy drinkers and were easygoing. Among the younger generation, only Lai Jinhai, who was a minor older brother-in-law, could push him, but others were still quite young and wouldn’t force him to drink.

And since Third Lu was afraid of Shu Yu, as soon as Daniu mentioned he had important business at the workshop, he immediately backed down.

Lai Jinhai always listened to Cuihua, so he certainly wouldn’t trouble this brother-in-law.
