1043: Slap in the Face 1

Slap in the Face 1

There were still many things that had not been confirmed, so they could not be said so clearly. Shanhu's grandma was old enough to understand that.2

She gave a very deep smile instead of saying something explicit. Instead, she said implicitly, "She is a girl from the capital, and she came with Shanhu in her wagon. She has a maid with her too. She is very well-mannered and she looks like she is from a noble family, but she doesn't show any disdain towards me. She has a very good medical skill, so she must be from some medical family. She came to give me a check up because she heard that I am not doing well. So she came to feel my pulse."

"…"

"She brought many supplementary herbs with her, and Shanhu is making it for me. I heard that the girl has a good relationship with Prime Minister Chu. I heard from Shanhu that she is going to speak with Prime Minister Chu. I believe that she will come back soon. You are too late to meet her."

"…"

"Otherwise, you could have spoken with the girl from the capital! Honestly, not many people from our village would be able to have such happiness." Shanhu's grandma showed a very proud look on her face.

Everyone present showed a look of shock. They were more or less sparkling with jealousy and admiration.

One of them said with a flattering tone, "Shanhu's grandma, you and Shanhu have good luck right now, and you are going to prosper! Don't forget us from Li Village, okay?"

When one flattered, the others flattered as well. All of them looked as if trying to suck up to them.

In the past they would never have done anything like this.

After all, everyone from Li Village understood each other well. They knew that they were on the same level and they would not make a fortune.

However, after the disaster happened at Li Village…

The Prime Minister was here and the Village Chief said that Shanhu was a very brave and talented man…

Since Shanhu saved the majority of people at Li Village, they should treat Shanhu's family well.

Also, the court might speak highly of Shanhu, who might have a promising future, so it was wise to treat Shanhu well, since he could help those who needed some help in the future.

So those people came because they heard this suggestion.

And when they arrived and saw a noble miss walking in and out of Shanhu's home, they were more certain about this.

So since they were certain about what was going on, they were going to suck up to Shanhu's family so that they could make use of Shanhu in the future. Maybe they could ask Shanhu to get their sons a job in the capital.

Therefore, those aunts were trying their best to flatter Shanhu's grandma.

Shanhu's grandma was obviously delighted by their flattering. She no longer looked sick.

They had a happy chat with each other.

Qu Hua, who had just finished the task entrusted by the Village Chief, came to check what was going on.

Seeing that Shanhu and Lady Chaoyan were both missing, Qu Hua decided to leave when she just saw a couple of aunts and Shanhu's grandma.

Those aunts were all nosy people, so they decided to flatter them to an even further degree.

Seeing that Qu Hua was leaving, they stopped her and said, "Qu Hua, hey, we are talking about Shanhu and the girl from the capital, are you interested to hear about it?"
