Chapter 1729: Granny Fang's Hidden Story?

Shu Yu smiled and added water to the dough, kneading it skillfully. "I can make quite a variety of dishes. In the future, if there's a chance, I'll cook some authentic Dong'an Prefecture dishes for you, Grandma."

Granny Fang was momentarily stunned, then pleasantly surprised. "No need, no need. I'm an old woman and can't eat fancy things. A couple of sips of porridge is enough for me."

Shu Yu lifted the lid of the pot, finding that the water was boiling, and placed the steamer filled with buns on top, covering it.

Without delay, she began making pancakes, speaking casually as she worked, "Granny, there's no need to be polite. By the way, you mentioned earlier that your hometown is in Dong'an Prefecture. Which specific county is it? Do you still have family there? I've been to several counties."

However, after hearing this, Granny Fang's initially smiling expression stiffened for a moment.

She forced a smile and said, "No, no one is left."

No one left?

Shu Yu wanted to ask more, but Granny Fang quickly changed the topic. "Miss, how many pancakes are you making? It seems like the filling might not be enough. Let me go out to the courtyard and pick two big cabbages."

After speaking, Granny Fang hurriedly left.

Her departing figure had a slightly fleeing appearance. Shu Yu's movements with her hands paused briefly, watching as Granny Fang disappeared from view. She furrowed her brows slightly.

It seemed that Granny Fang didn't want to discuss her family matters. She was clearly avoiding the topic.

Indeed, later when Granny Fang returned, Shu Yu tried to approach the topic differently, asking about the flood incident from years ago. Yet, Granny Fang once again sidestepped the question.

After these two instances, Shu Yu didn't press further.

If the other party didn't want to talk, it would be strange for her to keep pushing.

Since Granny Fang was unwilling to talk, she decided to ask Yuan Gui later.

Just as she finished making two baskets of buns and pancakes, Meng Qi and Doctor Mi had set the table outside and called them to come and eat.

When Shu Yu arrived at the dining area, she saw Yuan Gui bending over to arrange the stools.

She looked a bit surprised. "How's your injury?"

Yuan Gui stood up straight, tapped his wrist, and smiled. "I'm fine now."

Doctor Mi, slurping his porridge, added, "His injuries were mostly superficial, not critical. It just looked worse than it was. The main issue was excessive blood loss, combined with not eating for two days, which caused his poor color and unconsciousness. However, the medicine you used on him yesterday was top-notch, and the effects were quite remarkable. After resting for a day and night, he's already bouncing around. His self-healing ability is quite strong."

Yuan Gui chuckled mischievously. Perhaps because the injuries he suffered from the incident with Jiang Kuanyu were much worse, he didn't really find a few cuts all that painful now.

Shu Yu nodded. "That's good."

As they started to eat, Meng Qi entered the room to find a bowl of warm porridge for Yuan Gui. He hadn't eaten for a long time, and his current condition only allowed for liquid food.

Fortunately, he was okay now, and Doctor Mi said he just needed proper rest.

After finishing her meal, Shu Yu planned to take the buns and pancakes to Xia Yi and the others. However, just as she finished packing everything up, Meng Qi returned with a serious expression and told her, "Shu Yu, I need to go back for a while."

Shu Yu was taken aback. "Go back? To Meng Family Escort Bureau?"

Meng Qi nodded. "Yes, my father asked me to go back and discuss something with Uncle."
