Chapter 880 Aunt Zhou, who was afraid
The people from the second branch of the family had all seen it before. At this moment, Da Hu said to Da Bao and Er Niu, "This heating pack is amazing. It doesn't need firewood; you can cook rice and noodles just by adding water."
Sanya was also explaining to Xiaozhenlan, and the more they talked, the more curious everyone became.
Lu Sanzhu was getting impatient. "Ayu, hurry up!"
Shu Yu brought over the pottery jar, and Li Shi, Liang Shi, and others who were busy in the kitchen also came over.
When they saw water added to the earthenware pot, and soon steam rising from it, followed by the aroma of cooked food, everyone exclaimed in surprise.
Fan Zhonghe and the village elders couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "No wonder the Emperor bestowed such a great favor upon Er Yatou; this is truly an extremely convenient and wonderful thing!"
Everyone looked at Shu Yu differently now. This girl is really amazing. She can figure out such a good thing. This village chieftain should be hers.
After inspecting the fever packs, Fan Zhong saw that the Lu family was still busy, so he didn't want to disturb them any further. He simply made an appointment with Lu Erbai to visit his home later, and then led the village elders out of the Lu family's courtyard.
Upon going outside, he saw the villagers still gathered there and immediately said with a serious expression, "Let me warn you in advance, the second daughter of the Lu family is now the village head, and her status is no longer what it used to be. Don't take advantage of the fact that you are all from Shangshi Village to come and disturb her without reason. If you disturb the village head and she blames you, don't blame me for not helping you."
There were quite a few people outside the door who had come up with all sorts of excuses to knock on the Lu family's door. Several people were even carrying vegetable baskets, wanting to bring them some fresh vegetables to tide them over.
After hearing what the village chief said, they all immediately backed down.
They were indeed familiar with the other members of the Lu family, but they had really had little contact with Lu Shuyu, especially since this girl had a history of carrying an axe to her maternal grandmother's house, which made them feel uneasy.
Or should we wait and see how things go?
They've just returned, and the family has just reunited. It wouldn't be appropriate to disturb them at this crucial moment, lest we upset Mr. Lu Xiang.
Fan Zhong watched with satisfaction as everyone retreated, nodded, and happily went home.
Compared to the unease he felt upon arriving, he was now incredibly excited.
The village chief was a local official from their village, so naturally his position rose accordingly. In the future, who in the surrounding villages could compare to him?
I'm so happy just thinking about it.
After Fan Zhong left, the villagers who were still gathered around the Lu family's door looked at each other in bewilderment, and slowly, they left as well.
This included Zhou's second aunt, who had come specifically to see what was going on after hearing the news. She was completely stunned; the other party was actually a village magistrate.
Then, her plan to trick Zhou Qiao into becoming his concubine by accepting money from Young Master Chen in town is definitely not going to work.
But she's already spent that money, so she's doomed.
But then she couldn't help feeling a little relieved. Luckily, it hadn't come to fruition yet, otherwise, when Lord Lu returned and found out what had happened to his sister-in-law, he would definitely hold her accountable.
No, yesterday she was disrespectful to Lu Xiangjun, spoke ill of her behind her back, and spread rumors about her all over the city.
Could she be...holding a grudge?
Aunt Zhou was in a daze, and she was walking unsteadily when she bumped into someone with a 'bang'.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry." Aunt Zhou was frightened and ran away without even raising her head.
