The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 868: Chapter 868: Waiting at the Entrance of the County Office

Only when Baoya’s voice came from inside the house did Daniu suddenly wake up.

He hastily said to Zhou Qiao, ”You help watch Baoya here, I will go find Fourth Aunt and also tell her the good news.”

Fourth Aunt’s home was not far from Third Uncle’s, just a stone’s throw away.

After Daniu left, Zhou Qiao finally entered the house and saw Baoya sitting on the bed rubbing her eyes sleepily, she couldn’t help but laugh as she approached.

She dressed Baoya and took her to the kitchen to wash her face, cleaned her up and thought to take her for breakfast.

But when she arrived at the kitchen, she saw nothing but cold stoves and pots, absolutely nothing.

Zhou Qiao wanted to prepare some food, but there was no way to do so, as all the rice and grains were locked in the cabinets.

Luckily, at this time, Madam Liang happened to come back with Dabao.

Dabao was very excited, firstly because Sister Yu who could make delicious food was back, and secondly because he didn’t have to go to private school today, which was especially enjoyable.

Although he didn’t quite understand the Village Chief’s meaning, he heard Mother say that Sister Yu now had a very high status, enough for him to strut around confidently.

Madam Liang bought some steamed buns on the way and gave one to Baoya first, held one in her mouth, and placed the rest on the table, then pushed Dabao to go comb his hair and wash his face.

Then, in a pretentiously casual manner, she asked Zhou Qiao if she wanted one, but Zhou Qiao had already eaten and naturally shook her head.

So Madam Liang, while eating, inquired about the things Zhou Qiao saw the night before at the old lady’s, as she knew little and shared all she could say.

And with that, Madam Liang was extraordinarily satisfied.

Not long after, Daniu returned, accompanied by Lu Sixing and two children.

Daniu said, ”Fourth Aunt will go back with us, Fourth Uncle has also gone to ask for leave.”

Yuan Shanchuan’s workplace wasn’t far from here either, he didn’t need to go to the county office to ask for leave, just needed to notify his supervisor.

Lu Sixing had her breakfast already, and she was very curious about the experiences of Second Brother’s family. Daniu didn’t elaborate much before, so now she couldn’t help but ask for more details.

As they talked, Lu Sanzhu and Yuan Shanchuan both came back.

They just happened to meet on their way back, which was quite fortunate.

With everyone present, they couldn’t wait to set off.

There were quite a few people between the two families, fortunately, Quanquan and Baoya were not big, and could be held in arms. Xiaozhen and Dabao were also children, and they could squeeze together in the carriage compartment, although this meant they couldn’t travel too fast.

Daniu was driving the mule carriage, with Yuan Shanchuan sitting on the other side of the carriage shaft.

Inside the carriage, Lu Sanzhu whispered excitedly to Madam Liang, ”I told you before, didn’t I, that following Yu would mean meat on the table. Though previously she was down and out, she quickly made a comeback. Look, now not only has she returned, but she has also become the Village Chief.”

The whisper was indeed a whisper, but everyone in the mule carriage heard it.

Zhou Qiao and Lu Sixing exchanged glances and smiled helplessly.

Lu Sanzhu was very proud, ”My judgment is always sound.”

Madam Liang nodded, ”Indeed, otherwise how could you have married me?”

People inside and outside the carriage, ”...” both of them were quite shameless.

Lu Sanzhu seemed to think of something suddenly, lifted the carriage curtain, and asked Daniu, ”Where are we going?”

”Yu said to wait for her at the city gate; she has some business to attend to at the county office,” Daniu replied.

Lu Sanzhu waved her hand, ”Wait at the city gate for what? Let’s just wait at the Office’s entrance. It’s been more than half a year since I last saw my mother, I must see her first thing to check if she’s been well.”
