Chapter 880: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 880: Fearful Aunt Zhou Er
The people from the second courtyard were already familiar with it. Da Hu told Da Bao and Er Niu, "This heat packs is amazing. It can cook rice and noodles with just water, no need for firewood."
San Ya was also introducing it to Xiao Zhen and Lan Hua. The more they talked, the more curious everyone became.
Lu Sanzhu couldn't wait any longer. "Ah Yu, hurry up."
Shu Yu took the earthen pot and approached, while Li Shi and Lian Shi, who were busy in the kitchen, also gathered around.
When they saw water being added to the pot and smoke rising soon after, followed by the aroma of rice, everyone exclaimed in surprise.
Fan Zhongzheng and the village elders couldn't help but be amazed. "No wonder the emperor bestowed such great favor upon Second Miss. This is an incredibly convenient item."
The gazes of the people looking at Shu Yu had changed. This girl was truly amazing. She could come up with such a useful item. It was fitting for her to become the Village Lord.
After seeing the heat packs, Fan Zhongzheng saw that the Lu family was still busy and didn't want to disturb them any longer. He made an appointment with Lu Erbai to visit his house later. Then, he led the village elders out of the Lu family's courtyard.
As they left, they saw the villagers outside still gathered there. Fan Zhongzheng's expression turned serious, and he warned, "Let me warn you in advance. Second Miss of the Lu family is now the village Lord, and her status is different from before. Don't randomly come to the Lu family's doorstep to disturb them just because we're all from Shishi Village. If you disturb the village qLord, and she holds you accountable, don't blame me, as the Village Chief, for not helping you."
There were quite a few people outside the gate who had found various excuses to knock on the Lu family's door. Some were even holding baskets of fresh vegetables to deliver in case of an emergency.
Now that they heard the Village Chief's words, they all hesitated.
They were indeed familiar with the Lu family, but they hadn't had much interaction with Shu Yu, especially considering her experience of carrying an axe to her grandmother's house. This made them feel uneasy.
Should they wait and see? It might not be appropriate to disturb them at this critical moment when they had just returned as a family. If they upset the village Lord, it wouldn't be good.
Fan Zhongzheng watched the people retreating and nodded in satisfaction. He happily returned home.
Compared to his previous anxiety, he was now too excited.
The village Lord had come from their village. As the Village Chief, he naturally rose along with her. In the future, who in these ten or so villages could compare to him?
Just thinking about it made him happy.
After Fan Zhongzheng left, the villagers who had been lingering outside the Lu family's gate looked at each other. Gradually, they dispersed.
This included Aunt Zhou from the Zhou family, who had come specifically to see the excitement after hearing the news. She was now completely dazed. To think that the other party was a village Lord.
That meant her plan to deceive Zhou Qiao into becoming the mistress of Young Master Chen from the town was definitely not going to work.
But she had already spent the money. Now she was in trouble.
However, immediately after that, she couldn't help but feel a bit relieved. Fortunately, she hadn't succeeded yet. Otherwise, when the Township Lord returned and learned about what her sister-in-law had done, she would definitely come to settle the score with her.
No, she had shown disrespect to the village Lord and spread rumors about her behind her back, causing a huge uproar in the county.
Would she... hold a grudge?
Aunt Zhou's mood was in a daze, and she walked unsteadily. She bumped into someone with a "bang."
"Ah, sorry, sorry." Aunt Zhou was afraid in her heart and quickly ran off without even raising her head.
