The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1340: Chapter 1340: Daniu’s Moment of Pride

Lu Dasong was taken aback, ”Hmm?”

Daniu said, ”Ever since Zaozao was born, there have been rumors from the Zhou family saying that our family would treat Qiaoqiao poorly.”

”Nonsense.” Lu Dasong snorted coldly, ”Buy it. A son-in-law is half a son. Even though your in-laws don’t have a son, their daughter and son-in-law are both filial. Zaozao is the treasure of our whole family, how can we let them talk nonsense? Just let them see how well we treat your wife.”

”So it’s decided then?”

”It’s decided.”

Daniu nodded, ”Alright, I’ll start looking for it tomorrow.”

However, Daniu wasn’t looking just for a mule carriage, but also for servants. He planned to buy an experienced woman to help Zhou Qiao take care of the child together.

Although there were people in the Manor to help with work, those women were hired by Yu, and he couldn’t abuse his power for personal gain.

He mentioned this to Zhou Qiao, and originally Zhou Qiao didn’t have much of a reaction, whether it was renovating the old house or buying a mule carriage for her father-in-law, she had no objection.

What surprised her was that her husband was actually going to buy one for her father as well.

She was taken aback, ”Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?” Her mother-in-law would surely have opinions on it.

”What’s inappropriate? Your father is my father. With a mule carriage, he can also come to see you when he’s free.”

Zhou Qiao felt sweet in her heart but still a bit uneasy, afraid the family might be displeased.

However, both the old lady and Shu Yu had no reaction once they knew about it.

The money belonged to Daniu, how the couple decided to use it was their own business, why meddle?

Madam Li was indeed unhappy, even strongly disapproved, but before she could find out, Daniu had already dealt with it. Even if she got anxious, it was of no use, at most she’d refuse to help Zhou Qiao during her confinement.

Thus, two days later, Lu Dasong drove a mule carriage back to Shangshi Village, eagerly began preparations to renovate the house.

Villagers curiously came to look, knowing that the carriage was bought by Daniu, each with envy-red eyes. It’s really filial of Daniu, look how spirited the mule is, how spacious the carriage is, this is just too good.

Daniu then, the next day, drove the mule carriage with some daily necessities directly to the Zhou family.

Father Zhou and a few younger sisters originally thought he was just visiting, and they invited him to stay for lunch.

Unexpectedly, when Daniu left, he left the mule carriage behind, and went to the road to wait for the ox cart himself.

Father Zhou was completely puzzled until Daniu said the mule carriage was a gift for them, and he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Father Zhou hurriedly refused, but Daniu said, ”Now that Qiaoqiao is still in confinement, if my father-in-law wants to see her and the child, it would be more convenient with the mule carriage. In the future, we will still be living in the Manor, the journey is long, if we can’t make time to return, we’ll have to trouble my father-in-law to come and see Qiaoqiao.”

The conditions of the Zhou family couldn’t compare to those of the Lu family, Father Zhou worked quietly and seldom went out. Later he visited the Manor a few times, all on foot.

Same when going to the county town, Father Zhou had gotten used to it, but the younger sisters were still small and had to rush along the road.

With a mule carriage, at least it wouldn’t be so taxing.

Moreover, Father Zhou could drive the carriage, in his spare time, he could transport people from nearby villages to earn some money.

Father Zhou didn’t know what to say for a moment, Daniu had already left, and Second Zhou and Second Aunt Zhou looked as if their eyes were about to pop out from jealousy.

They wanted to take this carriage for themselves, but now Father Zhou wasn’t the type of person without a son to take care of in old age, he had a filial son-in-law who could gift a mule carriage.
