Chapter 383 Severing Ties
Lu Dasong, “…” This change in attitude is too fast, isn’t it?
Shu Yu glanced at Da Niu again; there was a faint handprint on his face, probably from Li Shi.
Did Li agree after just one slap?
Only after the group boarded the mule cart, with Shu Yu and Da Niu still sitting on the shaft, did she ask in a low voice, "Why is your mother suddenly so easy to talk to?"
Da Niu gave a wry smile and made a gesture as if pinching money.
Shu Yu suddenly realized, "So that's how it is! Money makes the world go round!"
"How many?"
"Four."
The two spoke in a language that no one in the carriage could understand, and then they both sighed knowingly.
Soon, Da Niu perked up and recounted the news he had heard from the Li family.
Lu Dasong was unaware of this, and his expression immediately turned grim.
Yuan Shanchuan couldn't believe it. "What exactly are my sister-in-law and the others after?"
Shu Yu thought for a moment and said, "I guess he's thinking that if I'm not having an easy time, I won't let you have an easy time either?"
Yuan Shanchuan's face flushed with anger. He turned to Lu Sixing and said, "Sixing, don't worry, cough cough cough... Once we get back to Daxu Village, everyone will see that we're all alright and won't believe those rumors anymore."
"Don't be so anxious." Lu Sixing was much calmer than them. She patted his back reassuringly. "Actually, after this incident, I don't care what they say about me anymore. For me, the most important thing is that my family lives peacefully."
After experiencing her husband's disappearance, her own arrest and imprisonment, her two children having no one to rely on, her eldest daughter being injured and her youngest son suffering a serious illness and almost dying, Lu Sixing became much more open-minded after these things that she never dared to think about.
Seeing her like this, Yuan Shanchuan felt even more distressed, and in his anxiety, his heart began to ache again.
Ultimately, it all started because of him, but it was his wife who suffered the consequences of the gossip.
The mule cart soon arrived at Daxu Village, and the villagers felt that the mule cart looked somewhat familiar.
But because the car was going too fast, they didn't have time to see the big bull driving it clearly.
It wasn't until the car stopped in front of the Yuan family's gate that everyone suddenly realized what was happening.
Oh, right, isn't this the same car that my family rode in when they came last time?
They went around to the front and saw that, sure enough, Da Niu and Shu Yu were sitting on the carriage shaft.
A lot has happened to the Yuan family these past two days, and as soon as everyone saw that the Lu family had arrived, they all gathered around, eager to gossip.
It wasn't until they saw Yuan Shanchuan get off the mule cart that everyone stared at them in astonishment.
Upon seeing this, someone who was on good terms with his family rushed forward and asked, "Shanchuan, are you... are you alright?"
What could possibly be wrong with me?
The man slapped his thigh. "Oh dear, you don't know, your parents and three older brothers came back last night. They said you'd been arrested by the county government. They were exonerated and released. You... shouldn't you be in jail?"
Yuan Shanchuan frowned. "That's what my parents said?"
“Isn’t that right?” another person chimed in. “Your parents went to see Village Chief Chen early this morning, and they’re discussing severing ties with you right now. They said that since your charges haven’t been settled yet, they’re cutting ties with you and getting the village chief to kick you out of the village so that they won’t implicate the Yuan family or Daxu Village.”
Yuan Shanchuan suddenly looked at him, "What did you say? Sever ties?"
