Chapter 864 The Shocking Big Shot
Da Niu and his wife gasped in shock. Had they heard correctly?
Township Lord?
Not only them, but also Ah Xiang and Fu Xiangdi were stunned, looking completely bewildered.
Shu Yu chuckled, "This is what I meant by 'making meritorious contributions' earlier."
Da Niu shook his head, came to his senses, and asked anxiously, "Grandma, what exactly happened? What fever pack? And A Yu even saw the Emperor? Please, please tell us quickly."
He didn't even bother to eat, but the old lady waved her hand and said, "Eat first, it's getting cold."
Da Niu was anxious, and now he finally showed the kind of excitement that comes with his age.
He felt that his second uncle's family had encountered many inexplicable things on this long journey.
He ate very quickly. The old lady knew they were in a hurry, so she didn't delay and told them the whole story about the heating pack.
After he finished speaking, he took them to see the imperial edict.
Da Niu and the others held their breath; this was an imperial edict!
They didn't dare touch it at all, but he still recognized a few characters. At least he recognized the name A-Yu and the characters for Xiang Jun.
After he finished reading it, he immediately grinned foolishly, “My sister not only returned from exile, but she also became a village lord, a village lord indeed!”
Zhou Qiao was also extremely excited. She had previously thought that she would face countless difficulties in the future, but now it seemed that the entire Lu family was about to become rich and powerful.
In this vast Jiangyuan County, who else could compare to Sister Ayu in status?
Da Niu still wanted to see that amazing heating pack. Da Hu had just told him that the heating pack was something that could cook rice without firewood or charcoal, just by adding water.
But it was too late, and the old lady urged them to go home.
"We'll look into the heating packs tomorrow. We've been traveling all day and we're exhausted. You should go home too."
Da Niu slapped his forehead; it was his oversight.
"Grandma, Second Uncle and Second Aunt, you should get some rest. Qiaoqiao and I will head back first."
Shu Yu said, "Take one of the mule carts back. The shop will be closed for a day tomorrow. We'll go back to Shangshi Village together. Oh, and we need to go to the county government office to see Magistrate Xiang in the morning. Brother Da Niu, you and your sister-in-law should go to the south of the city to tell Uncle San and Aunt Si that we're all back."
Da Niu nodded, "Okay, then I'll wait for you at the city gate after I finish my trip to the south of the city tomorrow."
He didn't linger after he finished speaking. The mule cart that Shu Yu later rode in was still at the door. He pulled on the reins and took Zhou Qiao back to the shop.
The Lu family thought they had a lot to do the next day, so they went to bed early after washing up.
Da Niu and Zhou Qiao walked slowly. It was getting dark, and by the time they reached Ning Shui Street, most of the shops were already closed.
The two entered the house from the backyard, thinking that they needed to prepare some things since they were going back to the village early the next morning.
After finishing their work, the two of them lay in bed but couldn't fall asleep.
Da Niu was excited, and Zhou Qiao was also very excited at first. She was happy that her second uncle's family had returned, and she was also happy that A Yu had been released without charge and had become the village head.
My husband's younger sister is of noble birth, and she's also reasonable and easy to talk to. We get along well. With a sister-in-law like that, no one will dare to bully my family in the future.
But then I started to worry.
Da Niu is a meticulous person. At first, he thought his wife was happy, but then he saw her tossing and turning, as if she had something on her mind.
