Wang Qiuju exclaimed in surprise, and seeing that many people around her had been drawn by her exclamation, she quickly covered her mouth.
Only after those people had looked away did she lean over again and whisper, "Does Sister-in-law mean that the Lu family performed a ritual that absorbed the good fortune of our entire village?"
“I can’t say that,” Tian Guizhi said. “The Lu family wasn’t so lucky in the village before.”
Zhu Dong'e chimed in, "Yes, yes, Lu Sanlang never had such good luck before. Who knows what opportunity he had on the road, or what kind of sorcery he learned from someone, that sucked away all the good fortune of our entire village."
"It's a pity that the villagers didn't know about their conspiracy and were even grateful to this family. They were really being sold out and still paying the people who sold them out."
Wang Juhua thought about it more and more and realized that this was indeed the case. She angrily slapped her thigh and said, "Let's go find Village Chief Song. We can't let her harm our villagers like this."
Zhu Dong'e's eyes gleamed. "If we just go and say it, I'm afraid Village Chief Song won't believe us. Besides, you see, every time there's trouble, Song's third daughter-in-law stands up to speak for Jiang. The two of them probably have a special relationship."
Tian Guizhi raised her chin toward Lu Cuilan, and though she lowered her voice, she said angrily, "It's not that the Song family and the Jiang family have a good relationship. I think it's because the fourth branch of the family is inhuman and has offended them terribly. They resent the fourth branch and their family. And yet, that brainless fourth branch wants to steal someone else's husband, so they're helping the Jiang family."
Zhu Dong'e also said angrily, "That shameless person has really disgraced the Fang family."
The group, united in their indignation, cursed the fourth branch of the family for a while before Wang Qiuju remembered the important matter: "So what do we do now? We can't just watch the Lu family steal all our good fortune!"
Zhu Dong'e said, "Find a few more people to come with us to talk to my village chief, Song."
“Yes, yes, we should find more people,” Tian Guizhi agreed.
Wang Qiuju thought she would try to befriend Jiang Tangtang today, but Jiang Tangtang was as arrogant as a peacock and wouldn't even look at her. And Luo Taohua was so haughty. Without thinking too much, she got up and started running around to different houses.
However, the two who came up with the idea did not actively run around like Wang Qiuju, but instead quietly hid behind and observed everyone's reaction.
Most villagers in Dawancun did not believe Wang Qiuju's words. On the contrary, they firmly believed what Lu Cuilan told Wang Qiuju: that someone in the Lu family had learned evil magic and was using it to absorb everyone's good fortune.
"It must be Jiang Shi. She must have used evil magic to bewitch my elder brother and sister-in-law, and then used magic to steal everyone's good fortune. My Peiru must have been harmed by her."
When my daughter Peiru was born, a fortune teller calculated her birth chart and said she was destined for wealth and prosperity, bringing good fortune to wherever she went. With such a destiny, how could she possibly become blind?
Lu Cuilan became more and more excited as she spoke, "I'm going to find her and make her return the good fortune that my Peiru was born with."
Fang Peiru's idea of marrying Lu Shiyan was shattered, and in the end she had no choice but to be tied to Wang Ergou. She had already felt hopeless about life.
Hearing her mother's words, her hope was rekindled. "It must be that. It must be that bitch Jiang who used magic to steal my good luck. Mother, you must get my good luck back."
Wang Ergou knew what a ruthless person Lu Shiyan was, and of course he didn't want to see the two of them provoke the Lu family again.
Not only Lu Cuilan and Fang Peiru, but even Fang Mulin's eyes were shining, clearly believing that Jiang Tangtang had used sorcery to steal their good fortune.
If Jiang Tangtang can restore their good fortune, the Fang family can also be like the Lu family, able to pick endless wild fruits and catch all kinds of prey in the forest.
Wang Ergou dared not go crazy with them.
Seeing that he couldn't stop them, he simply packed his things and hid to the side.
Anyway, whatever trouble the Fang family causes later has nothing to do with him.
Lu Cuilan and Wang Qiuju, along with several other villagers who were not thinking clearly, marched menacingly toward the resting place of Village Chief Song's house.
The group chatted amongst themselves, recounting how Jiang Tangtang possessed the evil magic to absorb people's good fortune.
Ignoring Village Chief Song's stunned expression, Lu Cuilan continued, "Village Chief Song, you can't side with the Jiang family just because you had a disagreement with my family. As the village chief, you must be fair and just and help my Peiru get her good fortune back."
Village Chief Song was absolutely furious with these idiots.
"Do you guys even have brains?"
Lu Sanlang disregarded past grievances and agreed to help them fetch water from the cave. Anyone should be grateful to him, maintain a good relationship with him, and strive to help him out of consideration for being from the same village if they encounter difficulties again.
But what about them?
Are you afraid of offending someone to death?
Even the most magnanimous person can't get along with this bunch of idiots.
"Village Chief Song, is this blatant favoritism towards the Lu family?" Lu Cuilan exclaimed shrilly.
Village Chief Song thought Lu Cuilan was so stupid it was unbearable. He simply couldn't understand how he could have been so blind as to think of such a person as a family member.
At this point, he was too lazy to remind her of the relationship between the Jiang family and the Lu family. He simply loosened his eyelids and said, "Come on, tell me, what evidence do you have that the Jiang family knows evil magic?"
"What evidence do we need? My elder brother and sister-in-law used to have a great relationship with me, but this time, they're acting like they're under a spell, always siding with that Jiang family and even threatening to sever ties with me. Isn't this Jiang family using sorcery and bewitching their minds?"
"Don't you even look at what you've done?" Village Chief Song thought to himself. If he had a girl with such a poor judgment, he would break off the relationship with her too.
Lu Cuilan, however, did not think she had done anything wrong. She argued, "What did I do? I was only thinking of them, but she ended up harming my Peiru."
The fortune teller said she was destined for wealth and prosperity, bringing good fortune to wherever she went. My family used to be the wealthiest in the village. But look at the misfortunes she's suffered since Jiang used her evil magic to drain her fortune!
"You're not helping us, you're helping yourself. Are you going to wait until the Jiang family's luck has been completely drained before you start to regret it? If you ask me, your Jun'er's death is very suspicious; he might have been killed by the Jiang family."
The commotion here was quite loud and had already attracted everyone's attention.
Furthermore, Lu Cuilan became increasingly agitated as she spoke, and her final words were like a machine gun, rapid and loud, so loud that almost all the refugees resting in the open space could hear them.
Jiang Tangtang was leisurely sipping her chicken soup when Luo Taohua shot out like a cannonball.
"Aunt, it's one thing if others don't know what's going on, but don't you know perfectly well yourself?"
