The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Shu Yu suddenly realized, Azhao, she is the legitimate Miss Four of the second branch.

So is this Gu Xinghua the husband who is older than Shu Zhao by a decade or so?

Shu Yu remembered...

”It’s like he has a bit of a limp, right? Our staff does quite a bit of work, and the minimum requirement is to be physically healthy.” If it was just a desk job, then being lame wouldn’t have much impact.

But staff face customers, most of the time they need to stand or walk, indeed it’s not suitable.

Shu Quan shook his head, ”Not lame.”

”Hmm?”

Shu Quan rubbed his forehead and explained, ”How should I put it? It’s just that Gu Xinghua was exiled back in the day, he got injured, and for over half a year, he was indeed limping. Later he recovered, but couldn’t change his walking habit immediately; sometimes subconsciously he would shift his weight to the left side, resulting in a somewhat awkward walk. People from Righteous Dao Village saw him like this, and called him a cripple, the name stuck after being used for so long. His home is quite far, many who haven’t seen him think he truly is lame. But now he has changed it, his walk is very steady. If you don’t believe it, you could call him to see.”

”Besides, when recruiting staff for your family, the appearance still needs to be decent. Gu Xinghua is quite good-looking, you know Azhao. Although her temperament has changed a lot over the years, the habits cultivated since childhood won’t truly make her marry an old, ugly, and lame man. If he were indeed worthless, Azhao would rather jump into the river.”

Shu Yu agreed on this point, she had been wondering. Even if Miss Four recognized reality, she wouldn’t have settled to this extent.

If Gu Xinghua is really as Shu Quan said, just older, then Miss Four marrying him without causing a big fuss in the Gu Family is understandable.

She was just curious, ”Why are you giving him such a position?”

And even sought her help for it.

Shu Quan exhaled lightly, ”I also have no choice. This time in capturing Shu Feng and the others, I contributed somewhat, and the Lord temporarily residing in the Righteous Dao Village, I’ve contacted him. He said he had already compiled the affairs here and sent them to the Capital, my credit is surely there. Besides, certainly pardoning our family’s crimes is not a problem.”

Shu Yu nodded, that’s indeed the case.

Shu Quan, ”As for this Righteous Dao Village, we don’t want to stay. Once we restore our good record, we’d mostly return to our ancestral home.”

Return home?

Shu Yu squinted her eyes, ”Are you returning to Dongan Province?” Hope not.

”Of course not, Dongan Province is merely where my Eldest Uncle serves. Official positions cannot be held in their original hometown, when the Shu family’s boss was transferred to Dongan Province, he brought the family’s father and mother, and naturally the second branch of the Shu family joined, ’You forgot, the Shu family’s ancestral home is in Jin City Prefecture, although I only visited as a child, it’s much more prosperous there compared to the southwest.’ ”

Shu Yu recalled, ”So you are returning to Jin City Prefecture?”

”Yes, but while we can leave, Fourth Sister is already married and has children. Jin City Prefecture is very far from the southwest, even if there’s a chance, it’ll be rare to see her. Fourth Brother-in-law works in this Righteous Dao Village all day, without much prospect, their future would be tough. I was thinking, before we leave, I would settle them properly.”

Shu Yu looked at the person before her with great surprise, not expecting Shu Quan still had brotherly love for Miss Four.
