The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl-Chapter 1800: Deciding to Acknowledge Kinship

When Shu Yu returned to the county town, it was already getting dark.

The people from the escort agency had all returned, so Shu Yu talked with Meng Pei about finding her Aunt.

Previously, the Lu family had asked Meng Pei to help by reaching out to various friends across the country to keep an eye out for her Aunt’s whereabouts. Now that she was found, it was only right to tell him immediately.

Meng Pei was very happy, "This is great news, truly unexpected. Granny Fang is your Aunt, and she’s been right here in Chenggu County all these years, we almost missed it."

He had been thinking that once things stabilized over in the prefecture, Yun could check the government office records to see if they could find a list of people who escaped the disaster from Dongan Province over thirty years ago.

Who would have thought that before they even had a chance to act, they had already met early.

"This fate is indeed very wonderful, Yu, when do you plan to invite Granny Fang over for a meal, let’s make it lively."

Shu Yu smiled and said, "No rush, Aunt just returned to Hedeng Village and still has a lot to do. Once she’s free, I’ll bring her over."

"Alright, you arrange it later."

Shu Yu nodded, originally thinking that this meal would have to wait until Yun returned, but who knew the next day, Shu Yu ran into Yuan Gui coming to the county town.

At that time, she had just returned from outside and saw Yuan Gui standing at the doorstep of the Meng family’s escort agency, raising his hand ready to knock.

Shu Yu called out to him, he turned his head and immediately took a few steps forward. Compared to the day before, his expression was much more relaxed.

"Monarch Lu Xiang."

"Are you looking for me?" Shu Yu led him inside.

Yuan Gui rubbed his head, looking a little foolishly happy, yet excited, "Monarch Lu Xiang, well, Granny Fang and I have decided to acknowledge our kinship."

Shu Yu raised an eyebrow, "That’s wonderful, when?"

"The Old Village Chief found someone to pick an auspicious day, it’s the day after tomorrow. Granny Fang asked me to come tell Monarch Lu Xiang, she knows you’re busy, but if you have the time, she hopes you’ll be there to witness it."

"For such a significant event, I will definitely be there," Shu Yu agreed.

Yuan Gui was relieved, "Alright then, I’ll take my leave."

He barely reached the front yard, and the conversation was already over?

Shu Yu said, "Do you have anything else? Come in and sit, have a drink of water."

"No need, I still have to go to the county office," Yuan Gui said, "Monarch Lu Xiang, you know, earlier I jumped off a cliff with Jiang Kuanyu, and have been hiding ever since, without even an identity or household registration. Over at Dongan Province, they all think I’m dead. Now that we’re acknowledging the kinship, I must have a proper identity. So I want to first go to the county office and get this arranged."

Shu Yu understood Yuan Gui’s situation, and Xia Yi did too. Since Xia Yi was still managing the county office, getting this done would be easy.

Yuan Gui said, "And I need proof for when I return to Dongan Province with Granny Fang in the future." Otherwise, he would be undocumented, "I’ll take care of all this now to avoid trouble later, and I’ll take the chance to ask for two days off."

"Ask for two days off?"

Yuan Gui nodded, "Granny Fang said that Monarch Lu Xiang plans to return to Dongan Province after the New Year, so I thought I would continue helping out at the county office these two months to earn some wages."

He’s already short on money, and he would need to live once he returned to Dongan Province, plus he still owed Doctor Mi for the medicine.

Even though Granny Fang and the Lu family are connected, the two of them can’t just live off the Lu family, that would be too shameless.

Before then, he needed to earn some more money.
