Chapter 305 Scratching Lu Dasong's Face
Shu Yu ran to her front door, untied the rope of the mule cart, and Da Niu tacitly got on the cart.
Lu Dasong was a step behind; he couldn't keep up with the younger people after all. He was panting heavily when he arrived, and Da Niu had to pull him onto the vehicle.
Shu Yugang turned the mule cart around, and Lan Hua and Li Shi came over as well.
Lu Dasong waved his hand and said to the two of them, "You two don't need to come along. Erniu hasn't come back yet, and we don't want to go home to find no one there. We'll go check first and then tell you later."
Li didn't want to go either. She had heard that the government was going to arrest Si Xing, and she knew without a doubt that something serious had happened. What she was more afraid of was that the other party would implicate her family. Hearing this, she nodded and said, "Alright, then you should also be careful. Don't go head-to-head with the officials in the yamen. If there's anything, come back and discuss it properly."
As he spoke, he pulled Lan Hua back a few steps so that the mule cart could move forward smoothly.
Lu Sixing's village is not far from Shangshi Village, but it is not close either, with three or four villages in between.
Fortunately, they had mule carts, which made them a little faster.
However, by the time they arrived at Daxu Village, it was too late.
Shu Yu followed the road Da Niu pointed out and headed straight for Yuan Shanchuan's house.
From a distance, the group could see that the area was crowded with people, making a great commotion, and they could vaguely hear cries and curses.
The mule cart became difficult to drive further ahead, so Shu Yu stopped, tied the reins, and then walked quickly inside with Lu Dasong and Da Niu.
After finally squeezing into the crowd, they saw two soldiers standing guard outside the Yuan family's house, refusing to let anyone in.
Three women sat there crying, cursing Yuan Shanchuan and Lu Sixing in very offensive ways.
Shu Yu didn't recognize the three women, but Lu Dasong did. He quickly stepped forward and asked, "Sister-in-law, what... what's going on? Where's my fourth sister? Where is she?"
The woman looked up and saw that it was Lu Dasong. She gritted her teeth, her face contorted with rage, and without saying a word, she lunged at him.
No one was prepared for her sudden action. Lu Dasong subconsciously turned his head, but his face was still cut.
But the woman was still persistent and tried to pounce on him again.
Fortunately, the surrounding villagers quickly grabbed her and repeatedly advised, "Mrs. Yuan, calm down and talk things out."
"Yes, now is the time for everyone to work together to find a solution, so please don't throw a tantrum."
"I'm throwing a tantrum?" The woman grew even angrier, pointing at Lu Dasong and saying, "If it weren't for Lu Sixing from that family, would our family have ended up like this? Huh? The men in our family have all been arrested, the Yuan family is finished, completely finished."
Lu Dasong was confused and, ignoring the injury on his face, hurriedly asked what had happened.
The woman was too lazy to talk to him, so Shu Yu stepped forward and handed a handkerchief to Lu Dasong.
"Uncle, wipe your face first."
As she spoke, she turned to a woman from the same village beside her, "Auntie, we've just arrived and don't know the details yet. Could you please tell us what's going on? Where's my fourth aunt?"
The woman saw that Shu Yu seemed quite kind and poised, and from the way she called Lu Sixing Fourth Aunt, she knew that Shu Yu was one of the Lu family's daughters.
But when did the Lu family acquire a daughter who doesn't look like a country girl?
That's what she thought, but the woman quickly recounted the whole story.
