Chapter 1078 I Am a Soft-Hearted Person
The beggar raised his head and saw Shu Yu looking at him. He quickly stretched out his bowl and said, "Girl, please do it."
Shu Yu touched his sleeves, took out five or six copper coins, walked up and put them in his bowl.
As soon as I bent down, I suddenly felt like I was being watched.
Years of caution made her trust her instincts so much that the hairs on her body suddenly exploded and her whole body became tense.
Shu Yu paused slightly, put down the copper plate, and straightened up again without saying a word.
Then he smiled, took two steps back, and turned around as if nothing had happened.
There was no one behind, there was only a medium-sized restaurant. At this time, there were only two or three tables of customers inside, drinking wine, eating peanuts and chatting.
No one looked here, as if it was her illusion.
Shu Yu pursed her lips and simply walked into the restaurant lobby.
The waiter came over immediately and asked, "What do you want to eat, girl?"
Shu Yu was not hungry, but he still ordered a plate of local specialty cakes and a pot of scented tea, and then found a seat by the window to sit down.
The waiter quickly brought what she asked for, poured her tea and asked with a smile, "The guest looks unfamiliar, doesn't he seem to be a local?"
Shu Yu smiled and said, "Well, I'm not from here. This is my first time here. I have a servant whose hometown is here. I happened to pass through Tianning County this time. She asked me to go back to my hometown to see it. I was impatient to go. , just stroll around here by yourself."
"That girl is really a kind-hearted hostess."
Shu Yu nodded, "Yes, there are not many masters like me anymore. I am a soft-hearted person."
Man, "..." I didn't know how to answer the call for a moment.
Fortunately, he had poured the tea and quickly put down the teapot and was about to leave, but Shu Yu suddenly asked, "By the way, what's going on in the yard opposite your restaurant?"
As soon as these words came out, the feeling of being watched came again.
I don’t know if the other party has restrained himself a lot this time and is not so blatant, so this feeling only lasted for a moment and soon disappeared again.
But Shu Yu still looked in the direction of the door, pointing to the Quansheng Escort Agency outside, while quickly passing by the surroundings with the corner of his eye, his eyes missed the shopkeeper beside the counter, and then asked the guy, "That one Why didn’t the yard be repaired after it was burned down to this state? This area is quite lively, so it would be a pity to just leave it like this. "
The waiter sighed and said in a low voice, "No, it's a pity who wouldn't say it. It's just that the yard was involved in a lawsuit that year, involving high-ranking officials in the capital. The owner was not in Tianning County, so he just left it alone. . However, some people wanted to take advantage of the opportunity and take it for themselves, but they failed."
The owner of this yard was Meng Pei. After the fire broke out in the yard, the government finally determined that it was caused by the owner's improper use of fire. The case closed file stated that it was an accident.
It is believed that after Meng Pei's death, the house should naturally be inherited by his son Meng Yunzheng.
But Meng Yunzheng was taken away by Gongqiu and was not Meng Pei's son, so this courtyard belonged to Meng Pei's brother. His younger brother had come to Tianning County to handle the funeral affairs of the Meng family, and then went back after finishing the arrangements.
The owner of the yard is not in Tianning County, and Brother Meng Pei has no intention of selling it, so he just keeps it there.
Shu Yu was more curious, "Why do some people want to take it for themselves but fail?"
