Chapter 863: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl

 Chapter 863: The Grim Situation in the Main House

Sure enough, Da Niu whispered, "When my mother found out that Shu Yu was banished to the southwest, she... she demanded that we sever ties with Uncle Erbai's family. Otherwise, she threatened to divorce my father. Naturally, my father refused, and it caused a big commotion. The news spread throughout the city."

Grandma sneered, "So did your mother divorce him?"

"...No."

"What a troublemaker. Your third sister-in-law is more sensible." Liang Shi was the first to know about this matter. She knew about it and rushed to the county to tell Grandma. She never mentioned the demand to sever ties with the family.

She was such a blabbermouth, and she managed to keep it a secret for so long. How could the eldest daughter-in-law be so foolish? Didn't she know that if this matter escalated, her children would be the first to suffer?

You see, it's difficult for Da Niu to buy goods.

"Grandma, I'm sorry," Da Niu said with a bitter smile. In fact, he was fine. He had a wife who always stood by his side, understanding his joys and sorrows.

But Cui Hua, the eldest daughter, had been enduring her in-laws' sarcastic remarks for quite some time, and it hadn't been easy for her.

Fortunately, she had a strong personality and managed to win her husband over to her side, so she didn't suffer too much.

The most unlucky ones were Er Niu and Lan Hua. Er Niu had started attending a private school, but the teacher there was a bit conservative and advised Er Niu to take a break at home until things calmed down.

As for Lan Hua, she had just been engaged not long ago, and this incident caused the engagement to be broken off.

Both Da Niu and Cuihua were extremely angry about this. Da Niu used to reason with Li Shi before, but now he didn't bother anymore. He directly forbade her from leaving the house, and if she continued to cause trouble, he wouldn't support her in her old age.

Cui Hua went to her parents' house and vented her anger at Li Shi.

The children were all estranged from Li Shi and unwilling to talk to her.

Li Shi's family had never sided with her, and with her husband's reproach, she suddenly found herself isolated and had no one to speak up for her.

Although she still believed that she was in the right, she didn't dare to speak up anymore. During this time, she stayed at home and kept a low profile.

But the rumors had already spread. Although the authorities had intervened to suppress the news, no one dared to openly discuss the matter anymore, but the subtle glances from those people behind their backs were quite telling.

Grandma was still unaware of all these things. She just felt a little sorry for Da Niu. How did he end up with such a mother?

She chuckled, "I hope she divorces your father now. When she finds out that Shu Yu not only returned to her hometown without guilt but also became a village lord, she'll regret it."

"My mother didn't really want a divorce. She just..." Da Niu's words were cut off halfway as he suddenly froze.

He and Zhou Qiao, who had also realized something, were stunned for a moment, then raised their heads abruptly and looked at Grandma.

"Grandma, what did you just say? What... village Lord?"

Grandma said with some pride, "Our Ah Yu is amazing. She made a heating packs for the emperor, benefiting the people and the country. The emperor personally issued a decree, not only allowing her to return to her hometown without guilt but also appointing her as a village Lord. She was rewarded with many things, and oh, a large mansion too. It has three main entrances. Let's go find the county magistrate tomorrow and see where the house is."
