Chapter 233 They were originally from the Northern Di Kingdom.
Master Lu frowned and asked her, "Did you draw up a written agreement?"
Aunt Lu nodded and said, "It's set up."
Master Lu's face darkened further, and he said angrily, "You stay home and behave yourself. I'll go and see for myself tomorrow!"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Lu's face was filled with anger. "It's all because of that Du Wanchun! If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have spent six hundred taels of silver!"
Master Lu slapped her again and said, "Don't always blame others. If you hadn't forced the Zhou family to not buy the land, would they have treated you like this? Let me tell you, the Zhou family is not the same as before. They are doing big business in the capital. I still want to curry favor with the Zhou family in the future. If you go and provoke the Zhou family again, I'll divorce you!"
Grandma Lu listened in stunned silence, and finally gritted her teeth and burst into tears.
The next morning, Mr. Lu personally came to Mrs. Zhao's house and explained the reason.
Grandma Zhao didn't make things difficult for him, and asked, "Are you really not going to buy this land?"
Master Lu replied, "Hmm, I won't buy it."
Grandma Zhao took out the written agreement and handed it to him, saying, "You said it yourself. Since you're not buying this land, don't make things difficult for us anymore!"
Master Lu nodded and said, "Yes, don't worry, I won't let my wife come again."
Old Mrs. Zhao went inside, took out the agreement, and handed it to Mr. Lu. Then she said earnestly, "Mr. Lu, don't blame me for being nosy, but you should keep a closer eye on your wife. What mother-in-law breaks her daughter-in-law's legs? Only when the family is at peace can everything prosper. Look at the Zhou family, right? There's a reason why the Zhou family has become so wealthy. Old Mrs. Zhou treats her daughter-in-law like her own daughter. That's why her daughter-in-law is so concerned about their land purchase and is willing to spend any amount of money."
After hearing this, Master Lu nodded, "Thank you, I'll go back and have a good talk with her."
Grandma Zhao nodded slightly.
Master Lu turned and left.
After Mr. Lu left, Mrs. Zhao noticed that her white hair seemed to have decreased somewhat.
She immediately thought of Du Wanchun and then went to the Zhou family in person.
When Du Wanchun saw her arrive, she immediately welcomed her in, "Grandma, what brings you here?"
Grandma Zhao said with a smile, "Good news, the Lu family won't be buying those two plots of land."
Du Wanchun was overjoyed, "That's wonderful!"
Old Mrs. Zhao took out the land deed from her bosom and said, "Wanchun, this is the land deed. I also want more money, thirty taels of silver."
Du Wanchun didn't stand on ceremony, took the land deed from her, and gave thirty taels of silver to Old Madam Zhao, saying, "Thank you, Grandma."
Grandma Zhao said with a smile, "Wanchun, I should be thanking you. If it weren't for you, that old woman from the Lu family would still be making a scene at my house. To be honest, I really didn't want to sell the land to her. If something happened to her on the land, she might be able to extort money from us."
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "I didn't do anything, Grandma, you don't need to thank me."
At this moment, Wu Niangzi's husband, Wei Xun, slowly walked out of the house carrying his child.
Grandma Zhao looked up and happened to see him, asking, "Who is this?"
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "This is Madam Wu's husband."
Many people in the village knew that Madam Wu had given birth out of wedlock. When Old Mrs. Zhao heard this, her gaze towards Wei Xun changed, and she stared intently at him, saying, "So it was him."
To avoid embarrassment, Du Wanchun prepared to see Old Mrs. Zhao out.
After staring at Wei Xun for a long time, Old Madam Zhao pointed to a jade pendant he was wearing and said, "This jade pendant seems to be from the Northern Di Kingdom."
"Something from the Northern Di Kingdom?" Du Wanchun murmured to herself.
At this moment, Madam Wu came out and said, "What Northern Di Kingdom stuff?"
Grandma Zhao pointed to the jade pendant and continued, "It's the carving on this. My son told me that only high-ranking officials and nobles of the Northern Di Kingdom could have such carvings on their jade pendants."
Aunt Wu was taken aback and looked at her husband.
Wei Xun was still completely confused.
