Chapter 792: Chapter 792: The Yao Family Rejoices Chapter 792: Chapter 792: The Yao Family Rejoices Wang Changdong returned to the entrance of the alley, Ms. Sun gave him a look, “Did you drop something?”

“No, I made a mistake, let’s go.”

Wang Changdong pulled Ms. Sun out of the alley and looked back at the corner once more.

However, the two people in the corner stiffened all over, quickly lowered their heads, and only relaxed after Wang Changdong and his wife completely disappeared.

“Do you think Steward Wang saw us?” Second Madam asked nervously.

“Probably not?” Second Master Shu frowned, “If he had seen us, he would have definitely come over to ask, why would he just walk away.”

That made sense.

Second Madam gathered her clothes, although it was warmer today, it was still very cold.

They had been waiting here since early morning, and it was not difficult to inquire about the Lu family’s address.

According to some villagers, the Lu family had set up a small stall in the county town selling popcorn.

They had never heard of such a thing, but it indeed was a rare item.

After they arrived in the county town, after just a little inquiry, someone pointed them in the right direction. They asked around near where the Lu family’s stall was and found out the residence of the Lu family.

Both were very sure that Madam Hou and her daughter would definitely come, but they had been waiting for most of the day and had not seen anyone.

The couple were both cold and hungry, especially since every household in the county town was preparing plenty of food for the New Year, with wafts of delicious scents coming from every alley, which was simply torturous.

Shu Yu did not pay much attention to them, but her prayers in her heart were somehow answered.

By the afternoon, a sudden cold wind blew by, followed by a drizzle.

The old lady feared the children would catch a cold, so she did not allow them to go out anymore; the whole family, including Meng Yunzheng and his companion, sat in the living room around a brazier, chatting and eating.

The alley became much quieter suddenly, and the people passing through were also in a rush.

This made things quite hard for Second Master Shu and his wife, as they had no umbrella and could only shelter under the eaves of someone’s house to avoid the rain.

Today was exactly the first day of the Lunar New Year, when it was taboo to curse out of a belief in keeping things auspicious; otherwise, given their tattered appearance loitering around someone’s door, they were bound to be chased away.

“Should we, should we continue waiting?” Second Master Shu began to lose heart, his mouth quivering from the cold.

Second Madam, reluctant to give up, said, “Wait, Madam Hou will definitely come.”

They had to keep believing, otherwise, without any hope, they truly could not bear the days.

However, what they did not know was, at this moment, Madam Hou, whom they were eagerly awaiting, was in the courier station encountering a person who would completely change the rest of her life.

The rain continued until the evening before it stopped.

Second Master Shu and Second Madam couldn’t wait any longer and had to return to Righteous Dao Village with resentment.

Meanwhile, the Lu family joyfully set off fireworks in the alley, which livened up the alley once again.

That rain, it seemed, was meant to interrupt the foolish hopes of Second Master Shu and his wife, coming unexplainably and leaving abruptly.

Shu Yu peeked at the entrance of the alley and saw no one anymore.

This Lunar New Year was probably the most satisfying and united one for the Lu family, because… Shu Yu had been found.

On the second day of Lunar New Year, Lu Erbai took Shu Yu to visit the Yao Family for New Year’s greetings.

Shu Yu originally did not want to go, but last time she had helped the Yao Family, and they were very grateful to her.

Upon arriving at the Yao Family, she saw Yao Tianqin and a few others as if they had encountered some happy event, all in high spirits.
