Chapter 1347: Xiao Songle Ran Away
Yuan Shanchuan furrowed his brows and looked at the pearl, flipping it over and over. He was certain that he had seen this pearl before.
"Uncle, my pearl, give it to me." Xiao Songle saw Yuan Shanchuan return but kept his head down, looking at his small pearl. However, Yuan Shanchuan didn't return it to him, which made him anxious. He stood on his tiptoes and tugged at Yuan Shanchuan's sleeve.
Yuan Shanchuan snapped back to reality, crouched down, and handed the pearl back to him. He smiled and asked, "Le Le, where did you get this pearl?"
Xiao Songle quickly put the pearl back into his bag. He obviously hadn't forgotten that he needed to prepare a gift for Zao Zao. So, as soon as he secured the precious pearl in his bag, he immediately began searching for something else in his bag.
However, upon hearing Yuan Shanchuan's question, he paused. He raised his head, blinked at him, and suddenly ran away.
"Eh..." Yuan Shanchuan was caught off guard and couldn't catch him. He could only watch as Xiao Songle ran straight into the main hall.
The child seemed to cherish the pearl very much and didn't want to tell him anything about it.
Well, if he doesn't want to say, then he won't press him.
Meanwhile, Quan Quan followed after Xiao Songle, calling out, "Wait for me."
Inside the main hall, Xiao Songle was spotted by Grandma Lu. She quickly waved her hand, "Le Le, don't run. There are many people here, be careful not to bump into anyone."
Xiao Songle stopped and was soon caught up by Quan Quan.
Quan Quan looked puzzled, "Why did you run?"
He didn't know why he ran either. He just instinctively ran when someone asked about the pearl.
Because whether it was Uncle or Auntie Yu, they had all told him not to show the pearl to others or talk about where it came from.
Although he didn't know why, he knew that Uncle and Auntie Yu wouldn't harm him, so he just obeyed them.
Seeing that he was in a daze, Quan Quan bumped into him, "Le Le?"
Children have short memories. One moment he was asking him questions, and the next moment he started talking about something else on his own, "I saw a sturdy-looking branch over there. Let's go get it and play."
"Sure, sure."
The two children held hands and went outside.
Passing by, Shu Yu twitched her mouth. A branch... what's so formidable about it?
She shook her head and went inside to find the old lady.
Grandma Lu pulled her to sit beside her and asked in a low voice, "Did you finish talking with the village head?"
"Yeah."
Although the full moon banquet for Zao Zao was not grand, the village head of Shishi Village and two respected elders still came. As the Lu family's situation improved, more people from the village either worked for Lu Erbai or at Shu Yu's workshop. The village head and elders hoped to have a better relationship with them.
With the Lu family celebrating joyous occasions, they naturally received congratulations from the village head and elders.
After Shu Yu came, Village Head Fan Zhong found her to discuss some matters with her. They had been talking until now.
Zhou Qiao's second Aunt was a little worried, "What did he talk to you about? Did he ask for your help? Let me tell you, Shu Yu, if it's something trivial and doable, then go ahead and help. If not, then just decline politely, understand?"
Her voice became even lower as she leaned close to Shu Yu's ear, "Although Village Head Fan is not a downright evil person, he can't be considered kind-hearted either. Don't give him any favors just because he's the village head, you hear me?"
Seeing the old lady's serious expression, Shu Yu smiled and reassured her, "Grandmother, don't worry. Village Head Fan didn't talk about anything difficult."
