Chapter 880: Fearful Aunt Zhou Er
The people from the second courtyard were already familiar with it. Da Hu told Da Bao and Er Niu, "This heat packs is amazing. It can cook rice and noodles with just water, no need for firewood."
San Ya was also introducing it to Xiao Zhen and Lan Hua. The more they talked, the more curious everyone became.
Lu Sanzhu couldn't wait any longer. "Ah Yu, hurry up."
Shu Yu took the earthen pot and approached, while Li Shi and Lian S...

Chapter 879: Let Us See the Heat Pack
The villagers were unwilling, but Fan Zhongzheng immediately closed the Lu family's courtyard gate.
In an instant, there were only Lu family members and a few respected elders from the village left in the courtyard.
Fan Zhongzheng looked at Lu Erbai with envy and jealousy, but he also admired him.
Lu Erbai had chased after his daughter, who had been lost for over ten years and exiled to the southwest. Fan Zhongzheng admitte...

Chapter 878: A Better Future Marriage
Lan Hua was taken aback. She hadn't realized this yet, but Li Shi suddenly snapped out of it.
Yes, Shu Yu had become a village Lord. Wouldn't Lan Hua's marriage prospects be even better?
And herself, she would become the aunt of a village Lord in the future.
Although Li Shi still felt a sour taste in her heart, thinking that the second courtyard had struck it lucky, it wouldn't be bad to bask in their glory.
She str...

Chapter 877: Bewildered Li Shi
Li Shi was completely dumbfounded, staring wide-eyed in disbelief at the scene before her.
However, with everyone kneeling in the courtyard, Li Shi and Lan Hua standing at the entrance looked out of place.
Both of them panicked, although they didn't know Xiang Weinan, they knew Hu Li. Seeing him frowning and looking over, they instinctively felt their legs go weak and knelt down on the ground as well.
Xiang Weinan then unfolded th...

Following closely behind Da Bao and Da Hu, Er Niu and Lan Hua rushed in from outside, followed by Li Shi.
As soon as the news reached the village chief, it naturally reached the people in the main branch as well.
Therefore, when Da Hu and the others were halfway to Lu Dasong's house, they encountered Li Shi and the others who were coming this way. They turned around immediately.
Li Shi had been particularly frustrated during t...

Just as they were about to enter, they saw a group of people approaching from another direction.
Leading the group were Lu Dasong and Fan Zhongzheng. When they saw that it was indeed the ...

This blatant behavior would definitely implicate the Lu family's First Branch and even the entire Shangshi Village.
If Da Niu hadn't promptly taken the person to the government office, they would definitely have been accused of harboring a criminal.
The village chief was somewhat skeptical of Second Aunt Zhou's words, but he still called the elderly villagers to discuss the matter.

The old lady grew impatient. "Alright, hurry up and get on the carriage. We're going back to the village."

Chapter 870: Shu Yu's Letter
Originally, according to their plan, she was just an ordinary peasant girl. Even if she was exiled, she wouldn't be considered an important person.
Her plan was to bring the heat packs she had made and present them to the emperor. At most, the emperor would know that there was a girl named Lu in the family. The greatest favor would be to grant her a pardon and allow her to return to Jiangyuan County to continue her life as a simple peasant girl.
