Chapter 879 Show Us the Heating Pack
The villagers were unwilling to accept this, but Fan Zhong simply ordered his men to close the gates of the Lu family's courtyard.
For a time, apart from the Lu family, only Fan Zhonghe and a few respected elders from the village remained in the courtyard.
Fan Zhong looked at Lu Erbai with a mixture of envy and jealousy, but also with admiration.
He managed to lead his entire family to chase after his daughter, who had been separated from him for over a decade, after she was exiled to the southwest. Fan Zhong admitted that he could not do that.
The voices of the villagers could still be heard outside the door; they were clearly reluctant to leave.
Fan Zhong had originally thought that since the Lu family hadn't finished cleaning up yet, he might as well invite them to his own home for a while and a cup of tea, but now it seemed better to leave it at that.
He walked up to Shu Yu with a smile and offered her a few dry congratulatory words.
Shu Yu replied politely, "Thank you, village chief. It's just my luck. Please have a seat, I'll go boil some water, and we can chat while we drink."
To be honest, Xiang Weinan came all this way but didn't even get a sip of water; it's quite pitiful.
The earthenware pot had just been washed, and Shuyu was about to go to the kitchen when a figure darted out from in front of her. "Ayu, you're the village head now. Your aunt can handle things like boiling water."
It turned out to be the Li family.
Upon seeing this, Liang felt a surge of crisis and quickly pounced over, snatching the pottery jar back.
"What are you doing here? Didn't you blame Ayu for dragging you into this and making you want to divorce your brother-in-law? Now you're all over her."
Li's expression froze, and she opened her mouth to refute, but Liang was different from her. This woman knew about Shu Yu's affairs from the beginning, but never thought of severing ties with the second branch of the family.
Even when facing the Liang family, she lacked confidence in this matter.
Liang said smugly, "Stay away from Ayu from now on. Honestly, she runs away as soon as she smells poop, but when she wants to use it as fertilizer, she comes close again. Has she no shame?"
Shu Yu, “…” Holy crap, please stop talking.
She glanced silently at Madam Liang, when the old lady slapped her on the back. "Who are you talking about?"
Suddenly realizing that her description might have been a bit off, Liang chuckled awkwardly and turned her head to explain, "Ayu, I wasn't talking about you. I... I contradicted myself."
She slapped her mouth twice, and before she knew it, the pottery jar in her hand was taken away by Li.
Madam Liang was furious. "Sister-in-law, do you want to fight?"
The old lady rolled her eyes. "Alright, you still think there's not enough chores at home? Boiling water, wiping tables, sweeping floors—we need people to do everything. Each person should do one thing. Hurry up."
She glanced at Li Shi, extremely dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law.
But there are still quite a few outsiders at home right now, so this isn't the time to settle accounts. Let's save it for now.
The old lady gave the order, and everyone else immediately got to work.
Fan Zhong scratched his head, feeling that he should help at this time, but there were already too many people in the Lu family. The Lu family was only so small, so he could only stay where he was and talk to Lu Erbai.
Lu Sanzhu, however, rushed up to Shu Yu anxiously, "Yu, did you bring that heating pack? Let me see it."
It's perfectly fine to take a look; she's not going to make a profit from it.
"Okay, if you're curious, come in and take a look."
Shu Yu walked to the place where the packages were piled up and took out a bag from it.
The heating pack is just a small package, and it doesn't look particularly special from the outside.
Fan Zhong examined it for a moment. "This is a heating pack? What's it used for?"
