Chapter 676: Chapter 676: Sending Madam Hou and Her Daughter to the Courier Station Chapter 676: Chapter 676: Sending Madam Hou and Her Daughter to the Courier Station Shu Yu moved methodically, and with her help, Daya let out a long sigh of relief.

Shu Yu found it amusing, and after a few people in line had made their purchases and it quieted down a bit, she smiled and said, “Sister, is business always this good on normal days?”

“No, it’s mainly because…” Daya glanced back at Madam Ruan and whispered, “The local tyrant came by yesterday, didn’t he? Many people heard about it, and some of our regular customers who love our food were worried we might stop selling due to the threats, so business has been especially booming this morning.”

She had only spoken a couple of sentences when more customers arrived, indeed, they were regulars who had enjoyed their food before.

They were also worried, “Will your family still sell popcorn and roasted cakes in the future? Your food is genuine and delicious. What will we do if you stop selling?”

Shu Yu couldn’t help but smile, “Don’t worry, we’re just not setting up the stall this afternoon. We’ll continue to sell in the future.”

“Why not set up the stall this afternoon?”

“We had limited ingredients prepared, and the morning crowd bought everything, it was too late to restock, so we decided to just take a break for half a day.”

Everyone felt relieved upon hearing this.

Shu Yu helped sell for a while but didn’t continue, as she hadn’t forgotten her duty to drive Madam Hou and the Sixth Young Lady to the courier station. Seeing that the time was almost due and the stall was not busy, she mentioned to Madam Ruan.

“Mother, I’ll drive the people to the courier station and come back soon.”

“Okay, be careful, and you don’t need to come back to the stall afterwards. We’ll head home after we sell out, and I’ll make you something tasty for lunch.”

Madam Ruan gave her a few words of caution, then Shu Yu took off her apron and untied the cloth band from her hair, grabbed a few hot roasted cakes, and three packs of popcorn, and left.

She first went back to the Lu family’s home, greeted the old lady, then hurriedly drove the mule carriage towards the county office.

Shu Yu’s timing was perfect, as soon the mule carriage stopped, she saw the officers exiting the county office with Madam Hou and the Sixth Young Lady.

Shu Yu waved her hand, and they hurriedly walked over to her.

Madam Hou asked in a low voice, “Have you been waiting long?”

“No, I just arrived myself. Did everything go smoothly?”

Madam Hou nodded, “Smoothly.” The office had been quite busy lately, and they had to wait a long time before someone attended to their paperwork.

If it hadn’t been for the officer who escorted them, saying it was a matter assigned by the governor, those clerks would still be dragging their feet, reluctant to deal with them.

Shu Yu glanced at the officer standing nearby, seeing his displeased expression; it was clear things hadn’t gone as smoothly as Madam Hou had stated.

She took out the roasted cakes and popcorn from the mule carriage, “Have something to eat first, you must be hungry since we left early this morning. These are snacks from our stall, roasted cakes and popcorn, specialties of Jiangyuan County. Give them a try.”

The officer didn’t hesitate, he immediately smiled and took the two items.

Madam Hou and the Sixth Young Lady caught the sweet aroma and their eyes lit up, then they took the food and climbed onto the mule carriage.

The officer sat on the shaft of the carriage, smiling as he chatted with Shu Yu.

After all, they would be working together on the manor in the future, and there might even be times when they could help each other.

Shu Yu flicked the reins, quickly driving the mule carriage towards the outskirts of the town.

The courier station was situated between the county town and the prefecture, closer to the county town, reachable in just over half an hour.
