The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Gan Rui saw Meng Han glaring angrily, and immediately stood up straight, his smile became even more brilliant, yet his hands and feet were extremely constrained.

”Miss Meng, nice to see you again. Well, I came here for an important matter, I’m here to tell you that Sir Lu and the county magistrate have all returned.”

Meng Han was about to retort but then focused and indeed saw Shurui and the others. She immediately exclaimed with joy, ”Ah Rui, you’re back? When did you return? I heard you’ve been out for many days.”

”Yes, Sister Ah Han, we traveled to several places this time and were delayed somewhat.”

Meng Han was envious, ”Several places? Which places? Were they fun? It’s such a pity, I wish I could go too.”

Before Shurui could answer, Gan Rui hurriedly said, ”Where does Miss Meng want to go? Actually, I’ve been to many places too, before I followed my elder brother on business to other shops in some prefectures. If Miss Meng wishes to travel, in the future I...” He quickly closed his mouth, glanced at Shu Yu, and silently retreated a step.

Xun Sheng, observing the scene, seemed to grasp something and noticed the awkward atmosphere. He immediately said to Shu Yu, ”County magistrate, your younger brothers have all returned. I suppose you have many things to discuss. We won’t disturb you any further, farewell.”

After saying this, he directly pulled the reluctant Gan Rui away.

Once they exited the shop, Xun Sheng whispered, ”What exactly is going on? Since when are you so familiar with the county magistrate, and what about what you said, that Miss Meng...”

Gan Rui’s eyes shifted evasively, and he stammered, his face quietly reddening.

After a moment, he suddenly looked up, tugging at Xun Sheng’s sleeve, and said, ”Brother Xun, I want to ask you for a favor.”

Xun Sheng, ”...” I just got back.

Gan Rui already dragged him forward, as they walked further away, Jiang Fengshou in the shop finally withdrew his gaze, smacking his lips, then turned to look towards the direction of the backyard.

In the backyard, Meng Han snorted twice, finding Gan Rui’s behavior baffling.

Her attention quickly returned to Shurui and the others, as she began inquiring about their recent travels.

Shu Yu exchanged glances with Ying Xi beside him and sighed slightly.

In the evening, the rented backyard of the Lu family was bustling with joy; with the return of the three lads, the atmosphere became lively.

At the dining table, everyone ate ravenously, especially Dabao, who clutched a chicken leg with no semblance of a scholar, biting into it, exclaiming how fragrant it was, followed by a somewhat pitiful expression, ”The food at home is still the best.”

Shu Yu raised his eyebrows involuntarily, ”What, did you not get enough to eat while you were away? Hmm, looking closely, you do seem to have lost some weight.”

Upon hearing this, Dabao shrunk his neck, appearing somewhat guilty.

Erniu snorted coldly, ”It’s all Dabao’s fault, the money bag was pickpocketed.”

Dabao, unwilling to accept this, stood up abruptly, ”Weren’t you also swindled out of money?”

Erniu defended, ”I saw how pitiful she looked, and couldn’t help feeling compassionate. How could I know she was a swindler, cursing herself to be parentless, speaking blasphemously, and still extorting me.”

Shu Yu glanced left and right, ”You all had quite a rich experience...” Truly, going out into the world aids in personal growth.

Meng Han then asked, ”And what about Ah Rui? Did Ah Rui’s money bag encounter any trouble?”
