Chapter 74 Serves you right!

Wu Youliang, who was trapped in the yard, was so frightened when he heard the villagers' plan that he ran out immediately.

"How come someone else got out of there?"

Wu Youliang rushed out, and all the villagers saw him.

He hurriedly said, "I saw that no one lives here, so I went in to take a piss."

"Oh, I see. Your place is at the village entrance, and this is at the village end. You've gone quite a distance just to take a piss!"

Wu Youliang offered a weak explanation: "I'm afraid that if we're too close to the village, the fumes will bother you!"

Some sharp-eyed villagers noticed something was wrong.

"What's that bulging thing in your pocket?"

The villagers sensed something was wrong and immediately grabbed him.

"Hey, isn't this the red veil I prepared for my daughter?" The villager, afraid of making a mistake, lifted a corner to confirm.

"It really is my family's stuff. Look here, there's a mark my wife sewed it with!"

With evidence to back it up, Wu Youliang has no chance to deny it.

"This guy came to our village to steal things, we can't let him get away with this...we need to beat him up..."

The villagers surrounded Wu Youliang and started punching and kicking him.

"Go find the village chief. He's in cahoots with those people from earlier today. Who knows who they are? We need to get an explanation from them!"

"right."

"Ouch, something poked me! And he has something in his arms..."

After seeing what it was, the villagers punched and kicked Wu Youliang again!

...

A loud knocking sounded on the door.

Shen Lanxi opened the door.

"Young master, something has happened!"

If it were someone else's business, they would never disturb the young master's rest!

"This concerns the Shen family!"

Chunxue carefully recounted what had happened, and then began to talk about what happened after the villagers brought Wu Youliang over.

"That scoundrel Wu Youliang actually said in front of the villagers that he would compensate the villagers with Shen Yuanruan, saying that Shen Yuanruan had been eating and using his things all the way and was already his man. He just wanted the Shen family to pay for his losses!"

Shen Lanxi: "What was Shen Yuanruan's reaction?"

Chunxue said unhappily, "I saw that she was terrified, kneeling on the ground crying and begging the Shen family to save her!"

Shen Lanxi had her own plan: "Don't worry about it, you all go and rest!"

Chunxue and Qiushuang stared in astonishment at the closed door. "Is Miss no longer going to take care of the Shen family?"

Liu Yanhui was still waiting for a reply outside the door when Chunxue and Qiushuang came out and immediately asked, "Did the young master say what to do?"

Spring Snow answered truthfully.

Liu Yan was equally astonished upon hearing this. Other matters aside, a woman's reputation is paramount. If she ignored it, wasn't she afraid the Shen family would hate her?

Upon seeing Liu Yan return, Liu Laohu immediately stepped forward, not asking directly, but his eyes spoke volumes.

Liu Yan shook her head, her eyes flashing, and said, "Let's just watch the show!"

Liu Laohu was confused: Should he watch whether Wu Youliang was beaten to death or Shen Yuanruan was taken away by the villagers to pay off debts?

Everyone in the Shen family looked very serious, especially Shen Congli and his wife.

"Third son, Shen Yuanruan is your daughter, what do you suggest we do?" Old Madam Shen had finally managed to get a peaceful night's sleep, only to be woken up by someone to deal with such a disgusting matter. Her face was dark and gloomy. She had already given a good scolding earlier, and now her heart was aching with anger!

“Mother, didn’t you say before that you would expel Yuan Ruan from the clan? She has no relation to our third branch of the family anymore!”

When Miao heard her husband say this, she felt a wave of dizziness. Yuan Ruan was her first child, and she had gone through several years of hardship with them. Later, when things got better, she wanted to make it up to her eldest daughter. Of all her daughters, she favored her the most. Even when she saw her daughter trying to get close to Wu Youliang for wealth, she didn't say anything.

After all, if a daughter becomes successful, her family will also benefit.

Now that this has happened, you can punish her daughter however you want, but you can't expel her from the clan. If a woman loses the protection of her clan, her fate will be miserable.

That was her precious child, whom she had pampered since childhood. How could she bear to part with him!

"Master, Yuan Ruan is our first child. She even thought of sharing her food with us when she got it before, which shows she's a filial daughter."

“Mother, Yuan Ruan is still so young, and you used to like her the most. She must be thinking that if she stays with Wu Youliang, she can help our Shen family when things get better.”

"Mother, Master, Yuan Ruan is a filial and good child!"

Hearing her mother say this, Shen Yuanruan quickly begged for forgiveness, "Father, Grandmother, I was just thinking that if my eldest sister runs out of money in the future, there will be no one to take care of our Shen family. I also want to do my part for the family, just like my eldest sister!"

Upon hearing her granddaughter reveal her eldest granddaughter's identity, Old Madam Shen immediately glared angrily: "Shut up! Do you want to get our whole family killed?"

Upon hearing this, several wives from the Shen family rushed forward and each slapped Shen Yuanruan.

"Shut up! Think carefully about what you should and shouldn't say. If you don't want to live anymore, we'll borrow money to buy a white silk ribbon to wrap around your neck!"

Shen Yuanruan was terrified by the menacing appearance of the family members, her mind went blank, and the wetness on the ground slowly spread.

I was so scared I peed my pants.

The women from the several rooms covered their noses and backed away in disgust.

"Father, Mother, Grandfather, Grandmother, I don't want to die, please save me, please save me..." Shen Yuanruan kept kneeling on the ground and kowtowing.

The villagers of Gulan Village are blocking the entrance. If we don't give them an explanation tonight, they will definitely not let it go!

"Wu Youliang, aren't you very rich? Why are you still stealing chickens and dogs in the village?" Liu Laohu asked with a frown.

Seeing that things were turning around, Wu Youliang immediately said, "If you want to help me pay back the money, wait until my relatives in the capital send the money to me, and I will repay you tenfold!"

Madam Song: "Bah! What kind of wealthy relative are you? You're just a petty thief and a scoundrel. Others may not know you, but I do. You caused the homeowner to fall ill and die because you broke into their house and stole from them. I live right next door!"

Another prisoner nearby wanted to ask, "He stole money and killed someone, what are you?"

I didn't dare ask in front of outsiders.

Shen Yuanruan looked up at Madam Song in disbelief, as if struck by lightning: "He said he's a relative of the Prime Minister..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Madam Song's disdainful sneer.

"I could say I'm related to the Prime Minister! Anyone can spout nonsense. What, if I dare say that, would you dare go to the Prime Minister and ask him?" What an idiot, can't you even see something so obvious?

"That's right, we left the city together, and I didn't see anyone giving Wu Youliang anything! Where did he get all that money?"

"Who knows? It might have been stolen by thieves."

Shen Yuanruan collapsed into the urine, her face deathly pale, while Shen Yuanxin sneered in the crowd.

Serves you right!

Not only Shen Yuanruan, but the entire third branch of the Shen family looked grim. They had assumed that their daughter had married into a wealthy family and would be able to live a comfortable life in Dongchuan.

Unexpectedly, instead of enjoying a comfortable life, they were tarnished by a local ruffian. If this gets out, how will the unmarried men and women of the third branch of the family ever get married?
