The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

The old lady clapped her hands and said to Shu Yu, ”You really hit the nail on the head. I think she’s just got too much free time. When Cuihua was pregnant with Yuanyuan, Erniu was still young and there was a lot to do in the fields. It was quite something that she managed to visit Cuihua at all. Now, with nothing else to do, she’s just been fussing over the kids.”

Another thing is that the Lu family used to be in poor shape compared to the Lai family, and Madam Li didn’t have the confidence to quarrel with her in-laws.

Things are different now. Not only has the second branch produced a county magistrate and a child student, but on this side, Daniu is doing well too. He’s managing a lot of people and earns more money than the entire Lai family ever could.

Madam Li has money, leisure, and confidence, so isn’t she just looking to pick at everything?

The problem is that the one suffering isn’t any other than her beloved daughter.

The old lady felt that this couldn’t go on. She didn’t care about Madam Li’s actions, but she felt sorry for her two pregnant granddaughters.

”Yu, do you think there’s a way to find her something to do? Otherwise, she’s going to be bored out of her mind every day. I’ve already scolded her and tried to persuade her, but she doesn’t listen. It’s driving me crazy.”

Shu Yu chuckled and hugged the old lady’s arm, ”Grandmother, I have no solution for Eldest Aunt either. In her mind, nothing carries more weight than her children now, not even making money.”

”That’s true,” the old lady said, feeling troubled. ”She doesn’t even bother with the noodle stall anymore. Last time, your Third Aunt even threatened her, saying she’d get a niece from her family to help and squeeze her out, but she didn’t care.”

A few years ago, when the sunflower field first started attracting tourists, Lu Sixing and Cuihua wisely set up stalls nearby, and it included Madam Liang and Madam Li buying food.

Every year, when the sunflowers bloom, the stalls would be set up, and business was always good.

The four of them made quite a bit of money, and earlier, Lu Sixing even bought a mule carriage, and the Lu Sanzhu family paid back most of the house money owed to Shu Yu.

This time, Cuihua couldn’t go because she was pregnant, and Madam Li decisively chose not to go either.

The business was good, but now only Lu Sixing and Madam Liang were left working at the stalls, and they were extremely busy. Madam Liang called Madam Li twice but was refused, leaving her infuriated.

Because of this, she went to the old lady and spent half the day berating Madam Li, threatening not to include her in any future plans.

The old lady also felt that Madam Li was being unreasonable, but since she’s focused on taking care of her daughter, there wasn’t much she could say about it.

”Now it seems, there’s nothing she’s managed to do well.”

Seeing her worried about the younger generation, it made Shu Yu feel bad as well. ”How about we let Brother Daniu handle this problem? I think Brother Daniu is the only one who can get through to her.”

Madam Li dared to show a stern face to the old lady, argue with Madam Liang, and speak disdainfully to Lu Dasong.

But she couldn’t handle her two eldest children, Cuihua and Daniu.

”Besides, in three months’ time, Sister Cuihua should have fewer pregnancy symptoms, and she’ll be able to keep Eldest Aunt in check.”

The old lady’s eyes lit up, ”That’s right, Daniu is back now, let’s have Daniu sort out his mother.”

The old lady called Daniu over and explained the situation, and he immediately understood.

He had noticed Madam Li’s weight loss and the wan complexions of his eldest sister and younger sister, but he hadn’t yet had a chance to ask about it.

After listening to the old lady, he finally understood what had been going on lately.

That night, Daniu had a long conversation with Madam Li, and when she came out of the room, her expression was somewhat desolate, and her eyes were red.

Yet the next day, she relented and agreed to let Daniu find a reliable old woman to help Cuihua and Lanhua with laundry and cooking.
