Chapter 825: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 825: Aunt Xue's Dilemma
Aunt Xue had had enough of working every day in Zhengdao Village. Now, the hope was right in front of her, and she just wanted to seize it tightly.
However, she was well aware that Shu Yu didn't hold a favorable opinion of her. Even if she went to plead with her, Shu Yu would not only ignore her but might also cause trouble for her.
But that didn't matter. If Shu Yu couldn't help her, she could find someone else.
Aunt Xue remained quiet and didn't share her plans with the Shu family members.
After it was dark, she quietly slipped out of the house when no one was paying attention.
At that moment, Shu Yu was accompanying her parents to the estate. As there weren't enough rooms in the Lu family's residence, Lu Erbai and the others were still staying at the estate.
Zhao Xi and Meng Yunzheng also lived there. However, it wasn't convenient for them to stay at the Lu family's residence now.
Shu Yu and Da Ya accompanied her parents to the estate, and then Meng Yunzheng and the others returned to escort them back home.
Shu Yu said, "... It seems fine."
She and Lu Erbai waved their hands. "Father, mother, rest early. If you have any issues, just ask brother Wang"
"Alright, you can go."
As they watched the four of them leave, Ruan Shi couldn't help but sigh. "Meng Yunzheng is really a good person. Now that Ah Yu can return to her hometown, shouldn't we start arranging their wedding?"
Lu Erbai pondered for a moment. "There's no rush. Ah Yu hasn't reached the age of fifteen yet."
"That's true. We should wait until she comes of age." Besides, they hadn't met Meng Yunzheng's family yet.
As they chatted, they closed the front door and turned around to return to the backyard for some rest.
Little did they know that as soon as they took a few steps, they heard a knock on the door.
The couple exchanged glances. "Did Ah Yu forget something?"
As Lu Erbai spoke, he opened the front door.
To his surprise, there was an unfamiliar woman standing outside. He paused for a moment. "Who are you?"
"You are Ah Yu's parents, right? Lu Er Ge and his wife, correct?"
"Who are you?" Lu Erbai became cautious. Even though the woman seemed rather pitiful and harmless, as soon as he heard her mention Ah Yu, he involuntarily took a step back.
"I am Ah Yu's foster mother."
Ah Yu's foster mother?
Lu Erbai and Ruan Shi's expressions changed abruptly, and anger flashed in their eyes. "You're the one who mistreated our daughter, Xue Shi? How dare you come to our doorstep?"
Aunt Xue, seeing their anger, hurriedly said, "Brother Lu, Sister-in-law, please don't be angry. I know I was not good in the past, but I had my reasons. Please listen to my explanation."
"Reasons? No matter what reasons you have, it's not an excuse to mistreat our daughter." Ruan Shi's eyes turned red, and she looked around, even considering grabbing something nearby to hit her.
Aunt Xue hurriedly spoke, "But I didn't treat her that way. If I didn't treat her like that, she would have lost her life."
Lu Erbai and Ruan Shi were taken aback. They listened as Aunt Xue continued, "I don't know what Ah Yu told you, but there are some things I never had a chance to tell her. Now that she has been appointed as a village lord, we may never have the chance to meet again. If we don't talk now, we will regret it with these misunderstandings between us for the rest of our lives."
Without giving Lu Erbai and Ruan Shi a chance to speak, she wiped away her tears and said, "Ah Yu has been beautiful since she was young. Among the entire Shu family, she was the most beautiful. I really liked her and treated her as my own daughter sincerely. It wasn't just me; my husband also felt the same way. She was such a beautiful and obedient child. Who wouldn't like her, right?"
