Chapter 1012: Over a Hundred Acres of Land
Shu Yu was amused by Madam Li’s expression. What did she just say? It made her seem as though she had suffered some monumental grievance.
The old lady found Madam Li annoying and directly said to Lu Dasong, "Weren’t you going to buy something? It’s getting late, hurry up and go. Take your wife with you and let her give you a hand."
Lu Dasong saw that Madam Li’s expression seemed off, and quickly pulled her along and left.
Madam Li had a lot of questions she wanted to ask, but she didn’t dare ask Shu Yu, nor did she dare ask the old lady. Lu Dasong taking her away was just the right opportunity.
After they’d walked a while, she grabbed Lu Dasong by the arm, gritted her teeth, and glared at him. "Why did you hide the matter of Daniu going to work the fields from me? He’s been bullied, and you didn’t even tell me. Are you trying to drive me mad?"
Lu Dasong frowned. "What do you mean ’bullied’? Daniu willingly chose to go to the manor."
"He willingly chose? That sounds nice and all, but what other choice does he have? Just now your darling niece made it clear there’s no position for Daniu at the shop anymore."
Lu Dasong realized Madam Li had become increasingly stubborn and nitpicky recently. She tended to dwell on trivial matters and magnify them. In the past, she still cared a bit about maintaining face, but now she insisted on competing over everything, no matter how small.
"Are you going to say something or not?"
Lu Dasong explained, "You’re misunderstanding. Yu has always taken care of Daniu. I heard that the manor outside of town is huge. Previously, Daniu said Yu plans to buy over a hundred mu of land to cultivate. When the time comes, Daniu will act as the village chief and help manage it. This isn’t like farming in Shangshi Village — he’d basically be half a landlord."
