Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1328: Chapter 1328: The Tongue-Tied Father Zhou

Qi Lie proposed to visit the workshop tomorrow, and Shu Yu naturally agreed.

After talking about sunflower oil, Shu Yu was waiting for Qi Lie to continue, but unexpectedly, he didn’t mention anything further.

When Shu Yu left the county office, she was still full of suspicion, after all, Hu Li had earlier told her that Qi Lie probably had other business here.

But since he didn’t mention it, Shu Yu decided to pretend she didn’t know.

When she returned home, everyone else had already come back, including Lu Dasong, who was happily talking about his little granddaughter.

Zhou Qiao and the baby were already asleep. Daniu had given the child a nickname, Zaozao, because she was born five or six days early.

The little girl Zaozao won the affection of the entire Lu family. Seeing this, Father Zhou and Second Sister Zhou were relieved.

Father Zhou didn’t plan to stay there because he had two young daughters at home and felt uneasy, so he let Second Sister Zhou stay with Zhou Qiao for a few days to lend a hand.

Shu Yu had the family coachman take him back. She also instructed the coachman to inform Ruan Dali at the workshop that the royal procurement would visit tomorrow, so he should be mentally prepared.

After all, Qi Lie was not the same as Ren Huai, and Shu Yu still attached more importance to this.

The coachman returned just before the city gates closed and explained the situation to Shu Yu upon his arrival.

There were no issues at the workshop; Ruan Dali had been informed earlier and had been waiting patiently. Although he was still nervous, the initial shock had passed, and he was able to arrange things methodically.

Shu Yu nodded. That’s good.

Originally, she wanted the coachman to rest, but noticing he seemed hesitant to speak, she raised her eyebrows slightly, “What is it? Is there something else?”

The coachman scratched his head, “Actually, it’s nothing, it’s just that when I took Old Master Zhou back, I heard some gossip.”

Father Zhou left the village in a hurry, leaving his younger brother to temporarily take care of his two younger daughters, so Second Zhou knew that Zhou Qiao was about to give birth.

When he and Second Aunt Zhou found out, all the nearby neighbors knew as well.

So when Father Zhou returned, many people curiously came to ask whether it was a boy or a girl.

Upon hearing it was a girl, although others had strange expressions, they didn’t say much. Instead, it was Second Aunt Zhou who reacted strongly and said, “Oh no, now Qiaoqiao’s life in the Lu family will be tough.”

She not only speculated that Zhou Qiao would be neglected, but even went on to claim that Lu Daniu might take a concubine.

She said he now had money and a sister who was a Village Chief. Men change when they get rich, especially when he has a mother who wants a grandson. Who knows, he might go find another woman.

Even though Father Zhou wasn’t good with words, upon hearing this, he was infuriated and furiously scolded Second Aunt Zhou.

He not only said that Madam Li liked Zaozao, but the old lady even gave a red envelope containing ten taels of silver.

Upon hearing ten taels, everyone there gasped.

That was ten taels! The bride price for marriage in their village was only three to five taels. The old lady of the Lu family was so generous; not only did she not blame Zhou Qiao for not giving birth to a grandson, but she also gave such a large red envelope.

However, as soon as Father Zhou finished stating the amount, he regretted it. How could he reveal the amount? What if these people knowing his daughter has money decided to borrow it? What if the old lady gave less to others in the future?

Father Zhou wished he could slap his own mouth and refused to speak anymore when others asked, directly taking his two daughters back home.

The coachman witnessed all of this and wasn’t sure whether he should tell Shu Yu, but in the end, he couldn’t hold it in.
