Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 863: Chapter 863: Tragic State of the Main Room

As expected, Daniu said in a low voice, “After my mother found out that Yu was exiled to the southwest, she demanded that we sever ties with my uncle’s family, or else she would divorce my father. My father naturally disagreed, and a fuss ensued. It got overheard and that’s what led to the rumors spreading all over the county town.”

The old lady sneered, “So, did your mother get her divorce?”

“…No.”

“Always causing trouble, yet still not as sensible as your third aunt.” Madam Liang was the first to hear of the matter. She also knew to keep her lips sealed as she came to the county town to speak with her, not mentioning a word about breaking off relations with Sanzhu.

Madam Liang, as talkative as she was, managed to keep this secret for so long. How could Boss’s wife be so foolish? Does she not realize that if this matter blew up, the first to suffer would be her own children?

Look, even Daniu faces immense difficulty when trying to purchase goods.

“Grandmother, I’m sorry for Yu,” Daniu said.

The old lady waved her hand, “This is not your fault. We haven’t suffered any loss. On the contrary, it’s you who’s been dragged down by your mindless mother.”

Daniu smiled bitterly. He was actually okay, having a wife who was aware of cold and warmth and always stood by his side.

His eldest sister Cuihua, on the other hand, had a hard time dealing with her in-laws’ sarcastic remarks for quite some time.

Fortunately, she was strong-willed and had her husband on her side, so she didn’t suffer too much.

Erniu and Lanhua had the worst of it. Erniu had just started attending the private school, whose teacher was somewhat old-fashioned and advised Erniu to rest at home for a while until the situation calmed down.

As for Lanhua, she had just become engaged, and because of this incident, the engagement was called off.

Daniu and Cuihua were both very upset about this. Daniu had previously reasoned with Madam Li, but now he didn’t bother. He simply ordered Madam Li to stay at home and not go anywhere. If she kept on with her irrational behavior, he would not take care of her in her old age.

Cuihua went to her maternal home and also vented her frustration at Madam Li.

All the children had grown distant from Madam Li, unwilling to speak with her anymore.

Madam Li’s own family had never supported her, and with her husband also blaming her, she became completely isolated with no one to speak for her.

Despite still feeling that she was in the right, she dared not make a sound anymore and spent her days quietly at home.

But rumors had already spread, and Lord Xiang did step in to suppress them. Publicly, no one dared to speak of it, but privately, people gave the Lu family peculiar looks.

The old lady was not yet informed of these details. She just felt a bit sorry for Daniu – how did he end up with such a mother?

She let out a snort of laughter, “Well, I would have preferred if she had divorced your father. Just wait until she finds out that not only has Yu been exonerated and returned home, but she has also become the Village Chief. She will certainly regret it to death.”

“My mother didn’t truly want to get a divorce; she was just…” Daniu started to say but suddenly stopped, stunned.

He and Zhou Qiao, who also realized what was said, froze for a moment before abruptly lifting their heads to look at the old lady.

“Grandmother, what did you just say? Village Chief?”

The old lady said with some pride, “Our Yu is quite something. She created a Heating Pack that benefits the people and offered it to the Emperor. The Emperor personally decreed, not only to acquit her and allow her to return to her native place but also to appoint her as the Village Chief, bestowing many gifts upon her, and yes, there’s a large mansion involved, a grand one with three courtyards. Tomorrow, we will go see the county magistrate to find out where that house is located.”
