Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 880: Chapter 880: The Frightened Second Aunt Zhou

The people from the second branch of the family were experienced, and now Dahu told Dabao and Erniu, “This Heating Pack is amazing, it doesn’t need firewood, just adding water can cook rice and boil noodles.”

Sanya was also introducing it to Xiaozhen and Lanhua, and the more they talked, the more curious everyone became.

Lu Sanzhu was getting impatient, “Yu, hurry up.”

Shu Yu brought over the clay pot, and people who were busy in the kitchen like Madam Li and Madam Liang also crowded around.

When they saw water being added into the clay pot and steam began to rise shortly after, followed by the aroma of cooked rice, everyone exclaimed in amazement.

Fan Zhong and the village elders couldn’t help but marvel, “No wonder the emperor bestowed such a grand grace upon the Second Young Lady. This really is an extremely convenient thing.”

The way everyone looked at Shu Yu changed — this young lady was truly remarkable, able to come up with such a wonderful thing. It was fitting for her to be the Village Chief.

After examining the Heating Pack, Fan Zhong saw that the Lu family was still busy, so it wasn’t good to disturb them further. He simply made an appointment to visit Lu Erbai’s home later in the evening and then led the village elders out of the Lu family’s courtyard.

Once they stepped out and saw the villagers still gathered there, he sternly warned, “I want to caution you all in advance, the second daughter of the Lu family is now the Village Chief, her status is no longer the same as before. Don’t think you can just come knocking on their door without good reason just because we are all from Shangshi Village. If you disturb Monarch Lu Xiang and she blames you for it, don’t expect me, as the village chief, to take your side.”

There were no small number of people outside who found various excuses to knock on the Lu family’s door, including several who stood holding baskets of fresh vegetables to offer, thinking it might be urgently needed.

Now hearing the village chief say this, everyone immediately began to back off.

They were indeed familiar with the other members of the Lu family, but they really hadn’t had much interaction with Lu Shuyu, especially considering the young lady’s experience of going to her grandmother’s house with an axe, which made them feel uneasy.

Perhaps, it was better to wait? Observe the situation before deciding?

After all, she had just returned, and the family had only just reunited. It would indeed be inappropriate to disturb them at this juncture. It would not be good if Monarch Lu Xiang became displeased.

Fan Zhong looked on with satisfaction as the crowd retreated, nodded his head, and walked home with a cheerful smile.

Compared to the unease he felt earlier on his arrival, he was now very excited.

A Village Chief from their village! As the village chief, his own status would naturally rise as well. Who else in the surrounding ten miles could compare with him?

The thought alone filled him with joy.

With Fan Zhong gone, the villagers who had still been standing at the Lu family’s gate looked at one another and slowly dispersed.

This included Second Aunt Zhou from the Zhou family, who had run over after hearing the news to watch the excitement. She was completely flabbergasted, now realizing that the other party was a Village Chief.

Then, she realized that the money she had taken from Young Master Chen in town, planning to deceive Zhou Qiao into going to his house to become a concubine, was definitely not going to happen now.

But the money was already spent, and now she was doomed.

However, she immediately felt a twinge of relief, grateful that nothing had happened yet. Otherwise, if Monarch Lu Xiang came back and found out what had happened to her sister-in-law, she would definitely settle the score with her.

No, just yesterday she had been disrespectful to Monarch Lu Xiang, speaking ill of her behind her back and spreading her stories all over town.

She wouldn’t hold a grudge, would she?

Second Aunt Zhou felt faint-hearted and wobbled as she walked, bumping into someone with a ‘bang’.

“Ah, I’m so sorry, so sorry.” Afraid, Second Aunt Zhou didn’t even raise her head but hurriedly ran off.
