Meng Yunzheng looked confused.

Shu Yu pointed in the direction where Zhang Shu left, “It’s that man just now.” Meng Yunzheng understood and then shook his head with a smile.

He smiled out of habit, but he immediately thought of what Shu Yu had said. She said, his smile… was a little fake.

So Meng Yunzheng immediately suppressed his smile, opened his mouth, and said two words silently.

Shu Yu couldn’t hear him, but he only said three words, and the shape of his lips when he spoke made it very obvious. She immediately understood.

“Ask for directions? You mean, you asked him for directions?”

Meng Yunzheng shook his head.

Shu Yu asked, “Did he ask you for directions?”

Meng Yunzheng nodded.

Shu Yu frowned, “He’s a local and is very familiar with this county. Why is he asking you for directions instead?”

She had heard from the old lady that apart from doing the chores at home, Zhang Shu would go to the county to work part-time during his spare time. It was probably because he worked hard and didn’t complain, so he could find work every time. He could get paid every time even if the part-time work didn’t end well.

Back when Daya married him, this was a huge bonus.

In the Lu family, whether it was the old lady, Lu Erbai, or Ruan Shi, all of them felt that Zhang Shu was honest, hardworking, and could earn money, while Daya was gentle and virtuous. When the time came, the couple would work hard together and live a prosperous life.

Who knew that Daya’s life in the Zhang family would actually become so difficult?

Why would a person who would go to the county every year to find a part-time job need to ask for directions? He even asked someone who wasn’t a local for directions.

Shu Yu always felt that Zhang Shu was strange.

Just as she was pondering, a hand suddenly reached out and waved in front of her.

Shu Yu looked up and met Meng Yunzheng’s questioning gaze. She smiled,

“Why is Young Master Meng here? Where’s Doctor Zhao?”

Meng Yunzheng pointed to the place where he lived. Shu Yu understood, but at this point, she didn’t know what else to say to him.

Meng Yunzheng couldn’t speak now, so they couldn’t exactly chat. Even if he made gestures, Shu Yu could only guess half of it.

In the end, she could only say, “Well, I opened a ready-to-wear clothes store on Ningshui Street. If Young Master Meng needs my help, you can find me there.”

Meng Yunzheng nodded and turned to leave.

Shu Yu watched his back gradually disappear into the distance. After a long time, she sighed heavily.

My, my, such a handsome young master, why can’t he speak? What a pity.

Shu Yu shook her head and returned to the shop with her hands behind her back.

Daniu had already tidied up everything. When he saw her return, he immediately welcomed her happily, “Yu, Uncle Zheng is going to start work tomorrow. Let me help too. The sooner we finish the work, the sooner the shop can open.”

“Alright, then I’ll have to trouble Big Brother Daniu for the next few days.” Daniu did not find it troublesome at all. He was even very excited.

Although this was not his shop, it was his second uncle’s shop. He wanted to participate in the renovation of the shop and watch it become better bit by bit.

“I’ll bring the clothes over tomorrow. It’s convenient to stay in the small room at the back too.”

The bedding in the small room had been thrown away by Butler Yu, but the bedboard was still there. He had just tidied it up and could sleep with a straw mat.

Shu Yu didn’t agree, but she didn’t try to persuade him. Whether or not Daniu could move in depended on whether Madam Li was willing or not. If she was not, Daniu might not even be able to come to the county..
