The Fang brothers, harboring their own ulterior motives, ran towards the Lu family's resting place, but the situation there was not what they expected.
Lu Shiyan was seen wielding a butcher's knife with great power and skill.
The refugees who came to steal the beef were stopped outside by Lu Shiyan and could not get close to the iron pot at all.
The Lu family wasn't just about Lu Shiyan; Lu's eldest brother, Lu's second brother, and Li Shi, though not as skilled as Lu Shiyan, also fought the refugees with weapons, protecting the Lu family's women, children, and property within their circle.
Although the refugees who came to rob the Lu family outnumbered the Lu family several times over, and were all burly men, they were no match for the Lu family.
In just a short while, he was beaten to a pulp by the Lu family and forced to kneel down and beg for mercy.
Seeing that he couldn't gain any advantage, Fang Senlin quickly said, "We heard the commotion and came to help. We didn't expect you to have already dealt with these robbers. Hehe..."
Fang Mugen, the second son of the Fang family who was not good with words, immediately looked at his elder brother with admiration and nodded quickly.
The women from the Fang family cast envious and jealous glances at the women from the Lu family.
Look how lucky the women of the Lu family are!
When danger arose, the men protected them within a circle, ensuring the refugees couldn't even touch them.
Unlike the Fang family, where the men always run faster than the women whenever danger arises.
Lu Shiyan glanced at the crowd and coldly uttered a single word: "Get lost!"
He didn't make a loud sound, and his jade-like face, under the moonlight, made him seem like a god who had fallen from the heavens to the mortal realm.
But it was precisely this aloof and dignified deity's appearance, and this simple "get lost," that terrified the refugees who had come to rob him, causing them to tremble in fear and scramble away.
The men of the Fang family were also feeling weak in the knees, but the temptation of beef was simply too great.
The group tried to use the excuse of helping out to shamelessly stay, but Lu Shiyan glanced at them and asked, "Was I not clear enough?"
Fang Senlin forced a smile and said, "Young Master Lu, we came here to help, I—"
"Are you stupid? Who told you to actually help? Don't you know how to play it by ear? Why not grab a few pieces of beef to eat while things are in chaos? Anyway, if they get robbed by the refugees, it'll just benefit the refugees, so we might as well benefit them." Lu Shiyan lowered his eyes, slowly wiping the blood-stained broadsword in his hand, and read out his words one by one.
Fang Senlin's eyes widened as if he had seen a demon, and he retreated repeatedly, stammering, "You...you...how..."
How do I know what he just said?
"Haven't you heard that those who study martial arts have keen senses?" Lu Shiyan's words already showed obvious impatience.
The Fang and Lu families' resting places weren't far apart to begin with, and he had just been focused on assessing the number of refugees. What's so strange about him overhearing their conversation unintentionally?
This is because he now has a different body; if it were before...
Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore.
Lu Shiyan overheard the Fang family's schemes clearly, so he had no reason to stay any longer.
They all left, looking embarrassed.
Only Lu Cuilan, holding her two children's hands, was unwilling to go back like this. She gritted her teeth and walked towards the Lu family home.
She was Old Man Lu's younger sister and the original owner's aunt. Lu Shiyan ignored her and sat back down on the stone bench, closing his eyes to begin meditating.
Although spiritual energy is scarce in this world, it is still useful as long as one cultivates diligently.
Lu Cuilan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Lu Shiyan did not send her away. She ran over to Old Man Lu and Madam Su to complain about the Fang family.
"Brother, sister-in-law, you must stand up for me! Those shameless members of the Fang family..."
She started by telling her story of how the Fang family forced her to come back for beef, and how when she refused, the Fang family began to humiliate her. Then she talked about how the Fang family didn't come to rescue her and her daughter, and how they blamed her for hiding money.
She had initially intended to appear pitiful to elicit sympathy from the Lu family.
She had long realized that the men in the Fang family were unreliable, which was why she had always wanted her daughter to marry Lu Shiyan, hoping to strengthen family ties.
She just hadn't expected the men in the Fang family to be so unreliable. They were selfish, cowardly, and utterly useless wimps.
As she spoke, Lu Cuilan went from feigning pitifulness to genuinely feeling wronged.
Fang Peiru felt wronged by her cousin's coldness towards her and his unwavering support for Jiang Tangtang during their meeting, and she kept wiping away tears.
She wiped away her tears for a while, then looked up at Lu Shiyan. Seeing that he didn't even glance at her, she cried even harder.
Fang Mingming, being young, was simple and straightforward, only constantly yelling that he wanted to eat meat.
Lu Cuilan was, after all, his own younger sister, and Old Man Lu had always been very fond of Fang Peiru and Fang Mingming, the siblings.
He tapped his pipe, which was now empty of tobacco, and stood up to walk over to Jiang Tangtang, saying, "Sanlang's wife, look at your aunt..."
Since Old Man Lu had personally spoken, Jiang Tangtang certainly couldn't let him lose face. But with someone as disgusting as Lu Cuilan's mother, it was impossible for her to eat her beef.
She picked out two low-quality bones from the pot and gave them to Old Man Lu. "Father, take these to Auntie!"
Lu Cuilan was immediately dissatisfied when she saw that she had cried for a long time and finally only received two pieces of cow bone.
But she couldn't say it, so she just secretly pinched her youngest son.
Fang Mingming yelled even louder: "I want to eat meat, why are there only beef bones?"
He glared at Jiang Tangtang hatefully and said, "You bad woman, you stole my brother-in-law and didn't even give us anything to eat, you're wicked!"
"Don't forget it!" Jiang Tangtang said, reaching for the cow bones. "It's my cow. I can give it to whomever I want, and I can refuse to give it to whomever I want. You don't think everyone has to give in to you just because you're young, do you? Little brat, there are no rules about not bullying children here."
Lu Cuilan quickly snatched two beef bones, ignoring the heat, and stuffed one into her son's hand while keeping the other for herself. Seeing the beef bone soup dripping onto the ground, she quickly tilted her head back and sucked all the soup into her mouth.
This is beef bone. Although it can't compare to beef, it's still a rare delicacy that they don't usually get to enjoy. She couldn't bear to waste a single drop.
After she had eaten every last drop of the broth from the beef, she said, "Jiang, how old are you? How old is my Mingming? Why are you arguing with a child?"
They ate her beef bones and then belittled her for being old, demanding that she give way to a child.
This is simply unbearable.
But the cow bone had already been grabbed by those dark claws, so even if it were returned to her, she wouldn't want it.
Disgusting.
But she has always eaten everything since she was a child, and she never suffers a loss.
She pursed her lips, then suddenly screamed, pointing at the tree behind Lu Cuilan: "Auntie, there's a snake on the branch behind you! Ahhh... I'm about to fall down!"
Lu Cuilan was startled and hurriedly tried to run away, but then she remembered her son, grabbed Fang Mingming, and dragged him to the side.
