Chapter 864: Chapter 864: Shocked Daniu

Brother Daniu and his wife involuntarily inhaled a sharp breath. Had they heard that right?

Village Chief?

Not just them; Xiang and Fu Xiangdi were also dumbstruck, their faces a picture of confusion.

Shu Yu chuckled, "What I previously mentioned about making a contribution, this is it."

Daniu shook his head, coming back to his senses, and eagerly asked, "Grandmother, what exactly is going on? What’s this Heating Pack? Yu has even met the Emperor? Please, please tell us everything."

He couldn’t even care about eating anymore, but the old lady waved her hand, "Eat first, it’s getting cold."

Daniu was anxious inside, his excited expression finally resembling that of someone of his age.

He felt that his uncle’s family, on this long journey, seemed to have encountered many inconceivable events.

He ate quickly, and the old lady, knowing they were anxious, didn’t delay, and told them everything about the Heating Pack just as it was.

After speaking, she also took them to see the Imperial Decree.

The breath of Daniu and the others hitched—this was the Imperial Decree!

They didn’t dare to touch it with their hands, but he still recognized a few characters, at the very least he knew Yu’s name, and he recognized the words "Village Chief" as well.

After trying hard to read it, he burst into a silly laugh, "My sister is not only back from the exile area but has become the Village Chief, a Village Chief indeed!"

Zhou Qiao was also extremely excited, previously thinking that there would be countless difficulties to face in the future. Now it seemed that the Lu family as a whole was about to rise in prosperity.

In the vast Jiangyuan County, who else could surpass the status of Sister Yu?

Daniu still wanted to see the miraculous Heating Pack. Just now Dahu had told him that the Heating Pack was something that could cook rice without needing charcoal or firewood, just by adding water.

But it was too late, and the old lady urged them to go back.

"We can see the Heating Pack tomorrow; we’re exhausted from traveling all day, you should go back too," she said.

Daniu tapped his forehead, realizing his oversight.

"Then Grandmother, Uncle, Auntie, you should rest early. Qiaoqiao and I will head back first," he said.

Shu Yu said, "Take a mule carriage back with you, we’ll close the shop for a day tomorrow, and all go back to Shangshi Village together. Oh, and we need to visit the county office early in the morning to meet with Lord Xiang. Brother Daniu, you and Sister-in-law go south of the city first to inform Third Uncle and Fourth Aunt that we’ve returned."

Daniu nodded, "Okay, after I finish in the south of the city tomorrow, I’ll wait for you at the city gate."

After saying this, he didn’t delay any longer. The mule carriage that Shu Yu used to ride was still at the door. He pulled the reins and went back to the shop with Zhou Qiao.

The Lu family, considering that there was still much to do tomorrow, went to bed early after washing up.

Daniu and Zhou Qiao walked slowly; it was getting dark at this hour. By the time they reached Ningshui Street, most of the shops had already closed.

The couple entered the house through the backyard, thinking that they had to prepare some things early in the morning to return to the village.

After being busy for a while, they lay in bed but found themselves somewhat unable to sleep.

Daniu was excited. Zhou Qiao was also initially thrilled, happy for their uncle’s family’s return, and happy that Yu had been released without charges and had become the Village Chief.

Having such a noble and reasonable younger sister-in-law who was also kind and easy to get along with, and who got on well with her, meant that no one would dare to bully their family in the future.

But soon after, worries followed.

Daniu, being a detailed person, initially thought his wife was just happy, but later, seeing her tossing and turning, it seemed she had something on her mind.
