Chapter 1802: Blessings from the Village Lord

Shu Yu had already gotten off the carriage. "Grandma Guan, don't be polite with me. You're all clean and fresh; there's no need to worry about getting dirty."

She insisted, with Meng Pei persuading by her side, and finally, there was no other option. Grandma Guan and Grandpa Guan exchanged glances and then both got onto the carriage.

Once the carriage started moving again, Shu Yu brought some pastries and tea to the two.

Grandma Guan felt a bit awkward, and Shu Yu smiled and said, "By the way, I want to thank Grandma Guan for telling me about the things my Grand Aunt went through last time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known how much suffering she endured."

Grandma Guan realized, "Yes, yes, Yuan Gui told me. He said that Sister Fang's older sister is the grandmother of the Village Lord. When I saw you and Sister Fang when you were young, I thought you both looked a bit alike, but I didn't expect there to be an actual blood relationship between you."

With Grandma Fang as a topic, the two quickly began to chat.

That day, Shu Yu mainly inquired about Grandma Fang's situation, and this time they discussed more about the recent situation in Dong'an Manor.

Having been away from her hometown for so many years, Grandma Guan still missed her old home. However, there were no relatives left in her hometown, and she hadn't seen her father and brothers for so many years; she didn't even know if they were still alive.

Talking about her hometown made her less nervous.

On the other side, Grandpa Guan and Meng Pei were quite harmonious. Grandpa Guan was a local, familiar with the Meng family escort agency, and Meng Pei was a friendly and outgoing person, so the conversation flowed easily.

The group chatted happily and arrived at Hedeng Village.

As they reached the entrance of the village, someone came forward to ask, "Has the Village Lord arrived?"

Shu Yu peeked out and realized it was the grandson of the old village chief.

"Village Lord, please come in quickly. We've prepared tea and food inside. Take a rest; the time for the recognition ceremony is still a while away."

With that, he led the way, and the carriage proceeded inside.

Compared to a few days ago, the village was particularly lively, with more noise as they got closer to the Fang family. The road in front of the Fang family's house was blocked off.

Grandma Guan exclaimed, "Has the whole village come?"

The old village chief's grandson grinned, "Almost half the village is here. It's all thanks to the blessings from the Village Lord. Many people came to congratulate when they heard that Sister Fang's granddaughter was the Village Lord."

Grandma Fang had decent popularity in Hedeng Village, but it wasn't to the extent that everyone was close to her.

Originally, before Grandma Fang and the others went to the county town, they had only planned for a simple recognition ceremony. The old village chief and his wife, Doctor Guo, and a few close friends and village elders would come over as witnesses.

After Shu Yu came, the news spread quickly. For the past couple of days, people hadn't stopped coming to the Fang family's house, and now there were three tables set up in the yard.

In this way, the number of people was controlled by the old village chief, or else it could have easily been thirty tables.

Although the guests didn't eat at the banquet, showing up to congratulate was a must.

Shu Yu felt embarrassed and heard someone calling out ahead, "The Village Lord is here, make way quickly."

The crowd immediately parted, allowing the carriage to smoothly reach the Fang family's doorstep.

Yuan Gui ran out from inside, "Uncle Meng, Miss Lu, please come in." When he looked up, he noticed that the Guan couple had also gotten off the carriage. He paused for a moment and then smiled again, "Grandpa Guan, Grandma Guan, you've come too. If Grandma Fang knew you were here, she'd be especially happy. Please come inside."
