Chapter 69 Someone Must Continue the Family Tree
Aunt Ru bowed slightly, speaking in a tone that seemed to be for the good of the Peng family. "Sister, what you said is true. If I don't do this evil thing, who will?
You can't let Xiangling, a madwoman, ruin the Peng family, right?"
She sighed softly, "It doesn't matter if my mother and I die, but someone has to continue my family tree.
As long as you are alive, I don’t have to worry.”
Speaking of this.
She covered her face and cried softly.
When the elders in the Peng family heard this, they thought it was very well said.
Someone has to continue the Peng family genealogy.
"Aunt Ru, you and Aunt Fang should push Xiangling out." The old lady of the Peng family sighed.
"Yes, ma'am."
Aunt Ru and Aunt Fang both wish Xiangling would die.
They were afraid that Xiangling would go crazy one day and take revenge on them, so they decided to take this opportunity to kill Xiangling.
The two men dragged Xiangling and opened the back door.
A cold wind blew in with rain.
Shen Yunyue cursed impatiently:
"Close the door."
He threw a stone in his hand.
It just hit the back of Aunt Ru's neck.
She cried out in pain.
"Oh, it hurts so much. Shen girl, what kind of person are you to do this behind my back?"
Aunt Ru was unhappy and thought that Shen Yunyue was helping Xiangling, the dead woman.
"Hit someone from behind? Haven't you tried that before?" Shen Yunyue lazily replied, "You opened the back door and I'm freezing. If you don't close it, I'll smash you to death."
Aunt Ru didn't dare to confront Shen Yunyue head-on.
He pushed Xiangling down in the rain.
"Xiangling, don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame your bad luck. No one is willing to help you."
Aunt Ru closed the back door.
A cold wind blew.
Aunt Fang and Aunt Ru both shuddered at the same time and suppressed the fear in their hearts.
Hurried back to where he was.
Xiangling's miserable screams were no longer heard in the house.
The room was still very noisy, with the sounds of people snoring and the wind blowing against the window frames.
The sound of rain outside.
Fu Xuanheng moved his arms and held Shen Yunyue in his arms, covering her ears with one hand.
"Go to sleep."
No one cared about Xiangling outside.
She struggled to get up from the rain and kept banging on the door.
"Let me in."
Xiangling knocked but no one opened the door.
I had no choice but to grit my teeth and crawl towards the light.
The next morning.
The rain continued to fall.
It seems I have to live in the inn.
The monkey went out for a while and came back. "Boss, I heard from the people in the house across the street that there's a mudslide ahead, and the mountain road is completely blocked."
Scarface Peng spat in annoyance.
"What's all this?"
Old Huang looked at the rain outside and sighed:
"Not to mention the mudslides, even with this level of rain, we can't travel any further. With such heavy rain in the middle of winter, I'm afraid the number of refugees will increase."
Others understand.
As the number of refugees increases, we are also afraid that some people will take advantage of the chaos to escape.
They were silent.
The air in the room was turbid with the door closed, so Scarface Peng ordered people to open the front and back doors.
Let the wind and rain blow in.
"Let me tell you, there is no steamed bun today. If you want to fill your stomach, you have to find a way yourself." The corner of the mustache on his face rose. He really liked the young wife of the Lu family last night.
I stuffed two soft steamed buns into her mouth early in the morning.
When everyone heard this, they gradually became numb.
"Sir, we don't have money to buy steamed bread." Several families from the side branches really had no money in their pockets.
Scarface Peng took a look around and found that more than half of the people had no money.
"Send yourselves out to find food."
Those people thought of the sweet potatoes that Shen Yunyue had taught them to recognize, and they also remembered that Ah Si had martial arts skills.
Besides Ah Si, there are other people who are good at kung fu.
But they didn't dare to hope that those people would take action.
They all looked at the Shen family at the same time, "Miss Shen. Are you going out to the woods to find something to eat?"
There was a sound of thunder outside.
It's dangerous to go into the woods.
It is easy to be struck by lightning.
Shen Yunyue raised her eyelids and said, "We're not going."
"Why don't you go? Let that Ah Si go with us."
"Yes, he is very strong and not afraid of wild animals."
“Miss Shen, you always let him go out in the past. How can you not let him go out this time? Your habit of not following the routine is not good.”
…….
Hearing these people shouting, Shen Yunyue became furious.
"If you don't want to go, then don't go. If you have the guts, don't go."
"How can that be? What are we going to eat if we don't go?" someone protested without making an appointment.
Shen Yunyue glanced at them coldly, "We at the Shen family have lunch, and we still have the silver ingots given by Prince Li."
This statement simply aroused hatred.
Especially the He family.
They clearly went there to ask for silver, but in the end they didn't get any, and Shen Yunyue got it instead.
He even cast a suspicious look at Madam He Er and her mother-in-law.
Those people didn't dare to force Ah Si to leave.
I had no choice but to put on my raincoat and rush into the rain with gritted teeth.
Shen Yunyue still had a cold expression on her face.
"Uncle Si, the police officer said there's a mudslide. Don't go into the woods."
Ah Si also has some money of his own.
Naturally, I followed Shen Yunyue's instructions, "Miss Yue. I won't go into the woods."
Get down from the big bunk bed.
Ah Si put on his straw raincoat and walked towards the door.
"I'll go get some breakfast."
Peng's daughter-in-law lay at the door and looked around.
"Huh. Didn't you see Xiangling?"
Aunt Ru's heart skipped a beat.
How come I can’t see Xiangling?
She hurried over to look.
"Where did this damn bitch go?"
Someone beside him sneered:
"Where else could he go? He must have run away in a panic at night. Going out at this time is a dead end."
Aunt Ru felt relieved.
It would be better if she died in the rain last night, otherwise she was afraid that Xiangling was not dead and it would be easy to cause trouble in the future.
Ah Si, Ying Feng and others came in.
Yingfeng was holding a basket with the aroma of fried food.
Ah Si was also holding a basket in his hand.
Two waiters came in carrying wooden buckets.
The waiter yelled at the person on the ground in disgust.
"Get out of the way, don't block the road."
The Shen family started eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks again?
Everyone was very envious and jealous.
Shen Yunyue wanted to spend all the money given by Prince Li in front of them.
"What a sin! You eat so well. You only care about your own appetite and don't care about other people's lives." The young woman from the Pei family who spoke earlier spoke in a neither loud nor soft voice.
Just enough for everyone to hear.
The He family smacked their lips, and the eldest wife of the He family swore in a roundabout way:
"You're a bunch of black-hearted bastards. I usually give you guys face, but you still think you're important.
If I look at you again, I will dig my eyes out."
"Stop talking, there are a lot of thieves these days."
"How could a thief be so good at stealing? Is he some inexperienced person who can't keep his money?"
The two women from the He family's first wife, one in red and one in white, were putting on a show against each other, and they were implicitly cursing the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law from the second wife.
The people in the second house were equally suspicious, as their two most astute people had been robbed by thieves.
And without anyone knowing?
No one would believe this.
Unfriendly eyes fell on He Er's aunt and her mother-in-law. They both felt as bitter as coptis chinensis, as the silver was missing and everyone suspected that they had embezzled it.
"I didn't embezzle the money." He Er's aunt couldn't stand everyone's sarcastic looks.
"I didn't say you embezzled it. Why is the second son's wife so anxious? You are trying to cover up your mistake."
"I'm just anxious. It's just for the sake of appearances, but I'm probably feeling happy inside."
Second Aunt He:……
Mrs. He Er:……
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law really hope that the thief can be caught and their names cleared.
The two turned their gaze to He Luxue again.
This child has been acting strangely these past two days, lying on the mattress without saying a word.
"Lu Xue, are you not feeling well?" It was rare for Aunt He to think of her daughter.
"Mom. I want to drink rice porridge." He Luxue's voice was very weak, and it made people feel pity.
"Okay, Mom will buy you some porridge."
Aunt He Er agreed immediately, but then she remembered that her wallet was empty and looked at the elderly people in the family with a sad face.
"My Lu Xue wants to eat porridge?"
"Go buy it."
Aunt He said in embarrassment:
"But I don't have any copper coins."
"Your mother doesn't have any copper coins, so where would we get them from? I didn't even meet my daughter to get the silver, and it was stolen by unknown thieves."
He Er's Aunt: ...I really want to curse.
The He family immediately erupted in chaos, each arguing non-stop.
Shen Yunyue ate breakfast in silence.
Ah Si walked out carrying a basket and an empty wooden barrel.
The others basically slept on the big bunk bed, and Shen Yunyue didn't sleep comfortably.
Get up and put on your straw raincoat and rain boots.
I went to the yard outside and wandered along the eaves.
Go to the corner.
I heard someone whispering not far away:
"How can we go into the mountains when it's raining so hard?"
"I'm afraid we can't go into the mountains because of the mudslide. It will take a few days before we can go back into the mountains."
The old voice sighed:
"There aren't enough people at the mine. If we don't go into the mountains, how will we explain this to the Prince?"
"Hmph. They're all useless. Over a hundred people have already died in just a short time.
Our master relies on the silver mined from the mine to do his work." The young man gritted his teeth.
Mined silver?
Isn't it a silver mine?
In the Zhou Dynasty, private individuals were not allowed to mine silver mines; all silver mines belonged to the imperial court.
Think of this.
Shen Yunyue narrowed her eyes and showed a dangerous smile.
