Chapter 093: Being blamed?
No one died because they fled to the mountains before the earthquake. Except for a very few people, most people's property was almost completely preserved.
After the earthquake, they quickly took all their belongings into the mountains and lived in a cave. They gathered and hunted every day, so they had no worries about food and clothing. There was also a large waterfall that provided them with a constant supply of water and fish.
I've even started planting recently! ?
Although the people of Yunlu Village were careful not to mention Lu Xuan and the magic, the fields were filled with smoke and coolness due to the dry ice, and even without mentioning it, their presence could not be ignored.
While the disaster victims outside were suffering, the people of Yunlu Village were enjoying delicious food in the mountains and were not at all exposed to the scorching heat.
This fact made the victims feel extremely shocked and envious, and at the same time, they couldn't help but feel jealous and indignant.
They are all people who have suffered from the disaster, so why are their situations so different?!
How many of them lost their parents, wives, and even children? Why was there not a single elderly person or child who died in Yunlu Village?
It's outrageous!
But on second thought, since they met people from Yunlu Village, doesn’t it mean that they can also live such a good life in the future?
As I was thinking this, someone immediately spoke up, "Great! Since you're staying so well, please take us somewhere cooler and safer so we can rest."
The other companions subconsciously agreed.
"That's right. It would be dangerous if we encountered wild animals in this wilderness. Please take us to the cave where you live."
"With you, we won't have to worry anymore."
The villagers of Yunlu Village: “……?” Something seemed to be wrong.
Li Tie happened to hear these words when he came over with other villagers, and he frowned instinctively.
What are you talking about?
Are you relying on them?
When he accidentally saw Leishan's family of three, his eyelids jumped.
Lu Qing was following not far behind Li Tie. Lei Yan, who was working in the fields, also arrived at the same time as Li Tie. The couple also saw the Lei family and their faces darkened.
In theory, even if the relationship was strained before the disaster, it is still a blessing to see that the other party survived the disaster.
But thinking about the family's previous behavior, it was difficult for them to simply be happy about their relative's survival. Instead, they couldn't help but frown after anticipating that they might be in trouble in the future.
Lei Shan's wife, Zhao, spotted Lei Yan with her sharp eyes and excitedly patted Lei Shan on the shoulder, reminding him, "The boss is my uncle! He's still alive!"
As he spoke, he looked around and saw that Lu Qing was there too, with a rosy complexion. It was obvious that she was in good condition and had not suffered at all.
Zhao was filled with jealousy and couldn't help but shout, "Lu Qing! Why didn't you come out and say hello to your in-laws when you saw them? Could it be that now that you've become rich, you don't want to recognize your relatives anymore?"
Lei Shan was even more rude. He pointed at Lei Yan's nose and said in a bad tone, "Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Can't you see how much hardship we've endured along the way? If you have any food or drinks at home, why don't you bring them to us?"
"Didn't you store a lot of food before the disaster? Share half with us later."
The other villagers in Yunlu Village frowned at his self-righteous attitude.
Lei Yan and Lu Qing, the parties involved, looked even more disheartened.
However, the other surviving victims seemed to have been reminded, and several of them lit up their eyes and started to build relationships.
A middle-aged woman with a somewhat harsh face shouted loudly: "Where is Xu Wenze? Wasn't he taken care of by the Yue family before the earth dragon turned over? Tell him that his uncle and aunt's cousin are here. We raised him for his parents until he grew up. Don't think he can get rid of us by climbing onto the Yue family! He is responsible for supporting us!"
Another woman not far away also said: "Liu Yu, where is my daughter-in-law Liu Yu! Since no one in your village has died, she must still be alive, right? Someone quickly call her over and tell her that her parents-in-law are here, and ask her to come and serve!"
"Serve me like a fool!"
Aunt Liu, who had been at the back of the crowd, heard the Fang family's shouting and immediately rushed out angrily, pointing at the Fang couple and saying, "Your family bullied my daughter so much back then, and that bastard Fang Hu even had an affair with his cousin and fathered a bastard. And you still have the nerve to let my daughter serve you? Pah! Shameless! Get as far away from me as you can!"
The people in Yunlu Village were cheered up after hearing this.
They only knew that Liu Yu's life seemed to be not going well after she married into the Fang family, but except for those who were close to the Liu family, others really didn't know the inside story.
Originally, they just guessed that it was because Liu Yu was from another village and had difficulty integrating, or that her mother-in-law liked to torture her and set rules for her. They didn't expect that Fang Hu was cheating on her?
No wonder Aunt Liu scolded so harshly, the Fang family deserved to be scolded!
The women in the village looked at the Fang family with contempt.
"My family did something shameful to the Liu family, and now they have the nerve to let Liu Yu serve them. How shameless!"
"I remember how sincere the Fang family was when they proposed to me, and Fang Hu also acted so affectionate and loyal. Ugh..."
"Fang Hu doesn't seem to be here. Did he die in the earthquake? Tsk tsk, what retribution."
Aunt Liu also noticed Fang Hu's absence and immediately said, "Is Fang Hu dead? If he's dead, then my daughter will naturally have nothing to do with your Fang family in the future! Whether you're dead or alive, don't even think about getting involved with us!"
Liu Yu's mother-in-law, Zhou, shrieked, "Why doesn't it matter? Since Liu Yu married into our family, she should be a member of our family in life and a ghost of our Fang family in death! Even if my son is gone, she must still support us in our old age!"
Fang Hu's father, Fang Dahe, who had been silent the whole time, protected his broken leg with one hand and said in a hoarse voice, "My Fang Hu is dead, but he and his daughter-in-law still have a son. Fang Yuan was brought back to the Liu family by Liu Yu. He should still be alive now, right?
We are his grandparents, do you want him to watch his mother and grandmother kill them?"
"Bah!" Aunt Liu cursed, "What does your life or death have to do with us? Stop putting the blame on us."
"Haven't you always complained about Yuanyuan's poor health and insisted that Fang Hu and your cousin have a healthy child? Go find that child. Could it be that an earthquake wiped out all your sons and grandsons? Ha, karma! You deserve it!"
"Shut up! You're the one who deserves retribution!" Zhou cursed without thinking, "I think that bitch Liu Yu has found a strange man outside and wants to get rid of us! I knew that bitch is not a quiet person - ah -!!! How dare you hit me!?"
Aunt Liu rushed forward and slapped him wildly left and right.
"I'm beating you, you old hag! Who are you calling a bitch? You're the old bitch! I'm going to beat you to death, you dirty-mouthed bitch!"
After the disaster, she had been regretting not being able to find an opportunity to severely punish the Fang family. Now that they had appeared, she would of course seize the opportunity to take revenge.
Aunt Liu not only slapped Zhou, but also scratched her face and head with her nails, venting all the pain she had felt for Liu Yu in the past.
"Ah! Let me go!!!" Zhou screamed frantically while struggling: "Boss, please save me! Someone, please pull this crazy woman away!"
The surrounding disaster victims and villagers of Yunlu Village were shocked by this sudden change and subconsciously wanted to help pull people out.
When Aunt Liu saw the disaster victims who wanted to help Zhou, she immediately started scratching them indiscriminately without any regard.
Those disaster victims had no relationship with the Fang family, and they immediately retreated after being hit twice.
The people of Yunlu Village did not retreat, but they helped each other.
It seemed that he wanted to separate the two of them, but in fact he was only preventing Zhou from arresting Aunt Liu. When the latter wanted to deal with Zhou, he turned a blind eye and blatantly took sides.
So when the two were separated, Aunt Liu was almost unharmed except that her clothes were a little crooked due to the large range of movement.
Zhou's face was covered in blood, her eye was black, and her hair was a mess like a chicken coop. She looked extremely miserable.
Fang Dahe was not blind, so he could see that the people of Yunlu Village were taking sides.
He was furious and anxious, and questioned Li Tie with a dark face: "Village Chief Li, don't you care about the people in your village? Don't you think this is too much?"
Too much bullying?
Li Tie curled his lips. "Weren't you the first to bully our village's married daughters? Sister-in-law Liu is standing up for her daughter out of a loving mother's conscience. How can I intervene? I can't."
The villagers nodded in agreement, "You were allowed to bully our married girls before the disaster, but now that you've suffered after the disaster, you think you can just let it go? You can't get away with it that way."
"that is!"
"It's only because Uncle Liu and Liu Chun stayed in the cave making tofu and didn't come over, otherwise Aunt Liu wouldn't be the only one getting beaten up."
Of course, Zhou wouldn’t be the only one to get beaten.
This is really weird.
There are so many villages surrounding Yunlu Village, with a total population of several thousand, but there are only a few households related to them by marriage. How come so many people died in the hottest season, but the few households related to their village survived?
unlucky!
Fang Dahe looked at the villagers of Yunlu Village who were watching coldly or even mocking him. His chest heaved violently and he seemed very angry.
He also understood that the situation was stronger than him, so he finally gritted his teeth and endured it.
Zhou was also a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Seeing that the head of the household was unwilling to stand up for her, she glared at Aunt Liu fiercely and dared not clamor for Liu Yu to serve her anymore.
But it was impossible for her to give up her relationship with the Liu family just like that.
Her family had run out of food, and she, a woman, couldn't go hunting. The head of the family had a broken leg. If they couldn't find a way to get some food, the couple would have no choice but to wait for death.
Thinking of her grandson who was hidden somewhere by the Liu family, a calculating glint flashed in Zhou's lowered eyes.
On the other hand, although the Xu couple were frightened by Aunt Liu's ferocity and the attitude of the villagers, they subconsciously felt that their situation was different from that of the Fang family.
In-laws may break down at any time, but blood ties can never be severed. Even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. They are the only relatives left by Xu Wen Ze. Can the other party really just watch them die without helping?
After all, Xu Wenzhe is also an outsider to the people of Yunlu Village. Wouldn't it be a good thing for him to have more helpers on his side?
After convincing himself, Uncle Xu felt relieved and continued to ask about Xu Wenzhe's whereabouts, but his tone was a little better than before.
Just a little.
The domineering attitude that he had been accustomed to for many years had not actually diminished at all.
Wei Dayong, who had been watching the excitement for a while, stood up and frowned, saying, "You kicked Wen Ze out of the house and took away all the inheritance left by his parents. How dare you come to him now to claim your relationship with him? Do you think that by recognizing your relationship again, you can expect him to support you?"
Wei Dayong said in a stern tone, "When he first came to our house, he only brought two changes of clothes with him. He didn't bring anything else. After the disaster, he has been eating our food and ours. He doesn't have any food stored to feed you."
Uncle Xu shamelessly said, "He is from our Xu family, and I am his uncle. He must support us. If he doesn't, he is unfilial! He is a scholar, but he has read so much that he has become a dog!"
Not only was Wei Dayong angry when he heard this, but everyone else in the village was also furious when they heard it.
"How can you—"
"alright!"
