They told Old Madam Wang about this, and the old lady said, “You’ve considered it very well. We’ll return to Wanning City tomorrow. As for here, we’ll let things carry on as per normal and pretend that nothing happened.” Ah Yu was still worried. “If we leave, will they cause trouble in the village? That night, they caused quite a commotion.”
“When I went to save you, they encountered a night attack. That was an internal dispute. There were also a few people from Blood Thirteen’s group who deliberately went to stir up trouble. It will take them some time to react, but we can’t be complacent; they might suspect the villagers. 1 will stay in the village for a month. You and the others can return to Wanning City first, don’t worry.”
Ah Yu had always believed in Old Madam Wang, so she bade farewell to her friends in the village and went to bid farewell to Old Master Hu, Village Chief Hu, and the others. In the end, she went to the village school to walk around before slowly leaving Hu Family Village.
Before leaving, Ah Yu saw a few people poking their heads out from behind the village entrance, so she walked over.
When she went over, she realized that it was actually the Big Brothers and Big Sisters from her maternal grandfather’s family.
“Big Brother Goutou, Big Brother Gousheng, Big Brother Goudan, Big Sister Xing Hua, Big Sister Li Hua, why are you here? 1 haven’t seen you much these past few days.” All Yu hurriedly greeted them.
The few of them were originally a little nervous. The oldest among them had already agreed on a marriage and was about to get married after the new year.
The youngest, Xing Hua, looked like a big girl. However, in front of Ah Yu, they all looked reserved and were far less enthusiastic than before.
Initially, they were very happy to know that All Yu had returned. Even if they had long known that Ah Yu was Village Lord Yu, they did not think much of it. In any case, she was their sister. The rest was not important.
However, when Ah Yu really returned in a carriage, even though she only had Tang Yuan as her personal maidservant, and the other servants were not servile, they still felt the difference.
Ah Yu was still the same Ah Yu, but her aura had changed a lot. The little girl had an indescribable aura, making them not dare to get close to her.
It turned out that the title of Village Lord was much more powerful than they had imagined.
However, when Ah Yu was really about to leave, they were very reluctant. They did not know when they would see her again. When she grew up again, she would probably be even more unreachable.
The cute little sister who could be held in their palm in the past didn’t need them much in the first place, let alone now.
Hence, they could only watch from afar. It was good to send her off with their gazes.
Until before Ah Yu left, she suddenly walked towards them and shouted their names.
All kinds of thoughts in Goutou’s heart instantly dissipated. His face turned red as he said in his loudest voice, “Don’t call me that. I was casually nicknamed like that when 1 was young. The teacher gave me a proper name. It’s Liu Xiangqin.”
Gousheng also hurriedly said, “My name is Liu Xiangyong.”
Goudan: “Liu Xiangren.”
Ah Yu looked at Xing Hua and Li Hua.
Xing Hua smiled and said, “My name is Liu Ya. Big Sister’s name is Liu Yun. Little Sister All Yu, does it sound good?”
Ah Yu also smiled until her eyes curved. “It sounds good! Then I’ll call you Big Brother Xiangqin, Big Brother Xiangyong, Big Brother Xiangren, Big Sister Ya, and Big Sister Yun in the future!”
“Can you remember? Do you want me to write our names down for you?” Goutou was not very at ease.
Ah Yu pointed at her head. “Don’t worry, 1 have a good memory.”
Even if she didn’t remember, there was still the elf. It was very powerful and would never forget what it had heard.
“By the way, you haven’t answered me yet. Why haven’t 1 seen you in the past few days? If not for the fact that I saw the corner of Big Brother Xiangqin’s clothes just now, I’ll have missed you,” Ah Yu complained. “I’m very busy now. I don’t know when I’ll be able to return to the village. If I didn’t see you this time, I don’t know how long it would have been.”
Xing Hua, who was also Liu Ya, said directly when the others had yet to think of a reason, “My mother said it. Little Sister Ah Yu is the Village Lord now. You’re different from us now and you can’t play with us.”
Ah Yu was puzzled. “What has this got to do with whether I’m a Village Lord or not? I’m still All Yu, and you’re still my Big Brothers and Big Sisters. This won’t change.”
“That’s right, but the teacher also said that there will always be differences between close relatives. Our identities are different now, so we can’t get too close. Otherwise, more people will follow suit and bring you trouble.” Liu Yun was the most reliable and her words were gentle. “Ah Yu, we all know that you’ve always been the same Ah Yu. Seeing that you’re doing well, that’s enough. There’s no need to exchange pleasantries..”
