The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 873: Chapter 873: Back to the Village, Back to the Village

Shu Yu rolled her eyes internally, asking for her opinion now?

However, Third Uncle’s words contained some self-praise, but they weren’t without reason.

At least in some aspects, Third Uncle indeed made people look at him with new respect; he is on the right track now.

The old lady grew impatient, ”Alright, alright, hurry up and get on, we need to head back to the village.”

Lu Sanzhu immediately climbed onto the carriage Shu Yu was in, but was pulled down by the old lady, ”You ride in that one, there’s no space here.”

Lu Sanzhu, pitifully sighed and walked back to the original carriage.

Lu Sixing, with the child, briefly met the old lady for a few words; knowing now was not the time to chat, she took the child back onto the carriage.

Xiang Weinan came out, seeing the two Lu family’s mule carriages already packed, he waved over Yuan Shanchuan and Lu Erbai to his own carriage.

He actually wanted Shu Yu to join them, but considering her current relationship with Meng Yunzheng, he decided against it.

Yuan Shanchuan arrived but refused to get inside the carriage, opting instead to drive from the shafts.

Lu Erbai did enter the carriage, but... he and Xiang Weinan really had nothing to say to each other; sitting face to face was rather awkward. It didn’t take long before he switched places with Hu Li and also moved up to the shafts.

Seeing this, Lu Sanzhu ran back to Shu Yu’s mule carriage, telling the old lady, ”I’ll help driving the carriage.”

The old lady didn’t say much after that.

The three carriages loaded with passengers then headed toward the city gate.

They bought some incense, candles, and joss paper along the way and did not stop again.

It wasn’t until reaching Shangshi Village that the mule carriages slowed down.

The villagers initially at the entrance widened their eyes upon seeing a grand entrance of not one but three carriages.

The first shaft was driven by Daniu and Zhou Qiao, which was expected. Following were Yuan Shanchuan and Lu Erbai.

Huh? Lu Erbai?

When they saw Shu Yu and Lu Sanzhu sitting on the shaft of the last carriage, the villagers all gasped in unison.

The news of Shu Yu’s exile first originated from Shangshi Village.

Thus, the people in the county town might be fine, but everyone in Shangshi Village, from old men and women in their seventies to children just five or six years old, knew the situation clearly.

Moreover, with the Lu family’s eldest branch – Madam Li stirring a separation, the second son sent home from private school, and the youngest daughter’s marriage proposal withdrawn, the villagers couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

Many people felt sympathy for the Lu family’s eldest branch; the daughter of Lu Erbai’s family was exiled, yet the entire family of Lu Erbai disappeared to the southwest leaving behind the eldest and Third Lu branches as the talk of the town.

Third Lu branch was alright; the whole family lived in the county town, Lu Sanzhu, and Madam Liang were thick-skinned, indifferent to whatever people said.

The eldest branch was different; except for Daniu and his wife, the rest were still in the village.

That’s why they say, one must not commit crimes or bad deeds. Once convicted, it’s not just the closest relatives who suffer, even those slightly related face repercussion.

Lately, the hottest topic of discussion in the village was about the Lu family’s matters.

Who could have imagined, the very people they were discussing just yesterday morning, would appear right in front of them today?

Someone reacted swiftly, instantly taking a shortcut to dash towards the village chief’s house.

”Village chief, village chief, it’s bad, the second daughter of the Lu family, really, truly came back.”

Fan Zhong had a headache, as early in the morning Zhou family’s second aunt had rushed to their village complaining, they were doomed because Lu Shuyu had escaped from the exile area, and even went directly to meet Daniu at the town’s shop.
