Chapter 863 The Tragic Situation of the First Wife
Sure enough, Da Niu said in a low voice, "After my mother found out that A Yu was exiled to the southwest, she demanded that we sever ties with my second uncle's family, or she would divorce my father. My father naturally disagreed, and this caused a scene. People overheard it, and that's how the whole city heard about it."
The old woman sneered, "Has your mother gotten a divorce?"
"……No."
"You're such a troublemaker, you're not even as sensible as your third aunt." Liang was the first to know about this, and she even knew to keep her mouth shut and come to the county town to tell her, without mentioning anything about making the third son sever ties.
She's such a talkative person, how could she keep it a secret for so long? How could the eldest daughter-in-law be so stupid? Doesn't she know that if this matter gets out of hand, the first people to suffer will be her own children?
See? Even Da Niu has a lot of trouble getting supplies.
"Grandma, Ayu, I'm sorry."
The old lady waved her hand, "This is not your fault. We didn't suffer any losses. On the contrary, you were dragged down by your brainless mother."
Da Niu smiled wryly. He was actually doing alright, with a wife who was always there for him and cared for him.
The eldest sister, Cuihua, had been subjected to sarcastic and unfriendly treatment from her in-laws for quite some time, making this a difficult period for her.
Fortunately, she has a strong personality and has won over her husband to her side, so she didn't suffer any losses.
The most unfortunate ones were Erniu and Lanhua. Erniu went to a private school, but the teacher there was a bit old-fashioned and advised him to rest at home for a while until things calmed down.
Lan Hua had just gotten engaged not long ago, but the engagement was called off because of this.
Da Niu and Cui Hua were both very angry about this. Da Niu used to try to reason with Li Shi, but now he won't. He simply told Li Shi to stay at home and not go anywhere. If she continues to cause trouble like this, he will not take care of her in her old age.
When Cuihua ran to her parents' home, she also gave Li a good scolding.
The children had all lost faith in Li and were no longer willing to speak to her.
Li's family had never been on her side, and coupled with her husband's accusations, she became isolated and helpless, with no one speaking up for her.
Although she still felt she was in the right, she dared not say anything more and stayed quietly at home for the past few days.
But the rumors had already spread. Although Lord Xiang had stepped in to suppress them, no one dared to talk about it openly anymore. However, the way those people looked at the Lu family was quite subtle.
The old lady didn't know any of this. She just felt sorry for Da Niu, wondering how he ended up with such a mother.
She chuckled, "I actually hope she divorces your father now. When she finds out that A-Yu was not only released without charge but also became a village head, she'll definitely regret it to death."
“My mother didn’t really want a divorce, she just…” Da Niu stopped mid-sentence, suddenly stunned.
He and Zhou Qiao, who had also come to their senses, were stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked up at the old lady.
"Grandma, what did you just say? What... the village lord?"
The old lady said with some pride, "Our Ayu is amazing. She made a heat pack that benefits the people and the country and gave it to the Emperor. The Emperor personally issued an edict, not only allowing her to return to her hometown without punishment, but also bestowing upon her the title of Lady of the Township and rewarding her with many things. Oh, and there's also a big house, a three-courtyard house. Tomorrow we'll go find the county magistrate and see where that house is."
