Chapter 1245: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1245: The Current State of the Ruan Family
As expected, after learning that she became the Lord of the township, the Ruan family started thinking about benefiting from their relationship with their granddaughter.
However, they couldn't find an excuse to visit her immediately. Moreover, after Shu Yu scared the village chief, Ruan Village Head, with an axe during their last encounter, he promised to keep an eye on Ruan Granny, so he restrained his people from approaching her.
But Ruan's old lady had her own reasoning. After all, she and Ruan Shi were mother and daughter, connected by blood. Ruan Shi was living well now, and she couldn't just watch her own mother and brother live in poverty. They made some mistakes last time, which led to conflicts with the Lu family, but their relationship was close, and there was a chance that it might repair slowly over time, right?
Moreover, now Shu Yu had become the village Lord, she had to consider her reputation, right? If it was known that she was not filial, she wouldn't be able to stay in power for long.
Ruan Village Head found her reasoning somewhat reasonable, and with some hesitation, he stopped restraining Ruan's old lady.
Without the warning and surveillance from Ruan Village Head, Ruan's old lady arrogantly took some vegetables and wanted to go to the county town to find someone.
Unexpectedly, just after leaving the village, she was stopped by people from the Yu family.
Lord Yu was a businessman with broad experience; he saw things more clearly than Ruan Village Head. Who could repair a relationship after such animosity?
Regarding Shu Yu, with her cunning and temperament, could she possibly mend her relationship with someone like Ruan's old lady? No, she would only become more disgusted.
As for her reputation? As a girl who had been exiled, she had long developed a thick skin, and this kind of reputation wouldn't affect her much. Why would she care?
Ruan's old lady could cry and throw tantrums in front of Ruan Village Head, but she was afraid in front of the Yu family.
The Yu family had smashed her house, and her eldest son's leg was broken by them. Ruan's old lady later tried to rebuild the broken part of the house, but it was destroyed again, so she gave up, leaving half of the property in ruins.
For Ruan's old lady, the Yu family was a nightmare; she didn't dare to provoke them.
Instead, she tried to use Shu Yu as leverage, "My granddaughter is the village Lord. Although we have fallen out, we are still family. By treating me this way, you are disrespecting her and slapping her face. Just wait; she will come to settle the score with you when she finds out."
The people from the Yu family sneered, "Sure, we'll wait and see if Lu Xiangjun will acknowledge you as family."
Enraged, Ruan's old lady wanted to push forward, but she didn't dare to force her way through.
The Yu family had warned that if anyone from the Ruan family dared to sneak out of the village, they would break her second son's leg too.
Helpless, old lady Ruan had to go back home disheartened. However, she wasn't about to give up. She thought for a moment and decided to ask other villagers in Ruan Village for help with her message.
Most of the villagers in Ruan Village were surnamed Ruan, and they were mostly relatives. After convincing one or two of them, they helped pass on her message when they went to the county town to buy things.
