After binding her legs, Lin Ru checked her maternal grandmother, mother, and three younger brothers!
After checking and finding nothing wrong, I went over there!
Bai Chengye's face was filled with anger!
"Old Xu! Don't push your luck! I've already said these horses belong to the village, not to any individual! The reason these horses are temporarily being distributed to these few households is because they were injured in the previous battle with the bandits!"
"What are you doing here? Is someone in your family injured?"
"When there's danger, you're the first to run! Now that there's something good, you're the first to jump in and grab a share! How can you be so shameless, taking all the good things for yourself!"
"Get out of here, I don't want to waste my breath on you!"
Even if you beg and plead until the end of time, I will not give it to you!
Many of them act like scoundrels!
"My dear in-law! How can you say that? When those bandits came, didn't you tell everyone to scatter and run away? I was just following your instructions!"
"Even though we didn't help kill the bandits, we still put in a lot of effort when cleaning up the mess afterwards!"
"It's only right that we get a horse! Besides, look at our family members, they're all in poor health! Consider it a small favor to lighten our burden!"
"Our families are related by marriage! You can't be so heartless!"
"I heard everything. You said you wanted to keep four horses! Well then, I don't want the ones the village gives me. You can give me one of yours. You have so many anyway, and you can't even use all the donkeys!"
"Helping our in-laws isn't too much to ask, is it?"
Bai Chengye really had a headache dealing with this Xu Laocai, who was the father of his third daughter-in-law, Xu Shi! There was something he couldn't do—his father couldn't hit him, and he couldn't scold him!
They're always bringing up their in-laws!
Lin Ru was genuinely happy to see such a scoundrel!
She didn't care whose father he was; if Xu Shi were in her hands, she would curse him just the same! Let alone her own father!
So she smiled and stepped forward!
She first looked him up and down, then covered her mouth in surprise and nodded!
"This old man is indeed in poor health! And he has that incurable disease! I advise you to prepare for your funeral as soon as possible! Stop arguing here! Just dig a hole and bury yourself, that's better than arguing about anything!"
Old Xu and the others witnessed Lin Ru's abilities yesterday! Upon hearing this, they panicked completely!
What exactly is wrong with me? Is it even curable?
"I don't care, you have to save me! I'm your third aunt's biological father!"
At this moment, Madam Xu also came over. Although she was quite annoyed with her father, she couldn't help but worry when she heard that he didn't have much time left! Because in this era, if a woman didn't have her own family, she couldn't hold her head high in her husband's family and would be ridiculed by her sisters-in-law!
So he nervously stepped forward and reached out to grab Lin Ru's hand!
Lin Ru dodged it quickly!
Her face stiffened, but she continued to plead, "Ru'er! What illness does my father have? Can it be cured?"
"Could you please, for the sake of my third aunt, save my father?!"
Lin Ru shook her head!
"No way! I hate greedy, arrogant people who take advantage of their age the most!"
"I won't save someone like him who never uses his mind for anything worthwhile, who's always thinking about how to take advantage of others and cheat people!"
Upon hearing this, Old Xu became furious!
"You little brat! Your grandfather hasn't said anything yet! What right do you have to speak? If I tell you to save him, then save him now!"
"I'm your third uncle's father-in-law!"
At this moment, his two sons also rushed over in a fit of rage! They started yelling and cursing at Lin Ru!
"You little brat! You little slut! Why are you everywhere! You want to get involved in everything, don't you ever take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror, see what kind of person you are!"
"It was just a lucky break; he killed one or two bandits."
"You've really gone wild with this!"
"A money-losing product should just obediently wait to be sold for money!"
"Today I'll teach you what it means to respect your elders!"
He was about to take action after saying that!
This completely stunned the people around them!
Then they remembered that when the bandits came, the Xu family ran faster than rabbits and disappeared in the blink of an eye!
They came back later!
Didn't you see how amazing Lin Ru was, taking down bandit leaders with a single slash!
Madam Xu was terrified and hurriedly tried to pull Lin Ru away, fearing that she might kill her two older brothers in a fit of anger!
But before she could even pull, her sister-in-law grabbed her by the collar!
Xu turned around angrily, only to see Bai Jian's wife, Guan, smiling innocently!
"I'm so sorry, Third Sister-in-law! I was just worried you'd get hurt."
Although Xu was a little angry, she didn't dare to say anything. When she turned around again, she saw Lin Ru taking a wooden stick and knocking the three members of the Xu family to the ground without any politeness!
Then came a brutal beating!
After she finished pounding, she reached behind her, and Lin Mo, who was quite observant, immediately had someone hand her a knife!
Lin Ru took the knife and slashed downwards!
Madam Xu quickly took two steps forward and rushed over, protecting her father and two brothers in her arms. She refused to believe that Lin Ru could hurt her!
Lin Ru frowned. She really couldn't just kill her third uncle's wife with a single blow!
But it's still necessary to teach this clueless person a lesson!
So she switched the long sword to a stick and struck Xu's back!
Xu felt a sharp pain in her back and looked at Lin Ru in disbelief!
Lin Ru didn't care about any of that!
The most important thing in life is to be happy!
At this moment, Bai Yong and Bai Yongkang also arrived!
They already knew the cause and course of events and wanted to come and stop them, but they were too late!
Bai Yongkang was heartbroken to see his mother being beaten, but he didn't go over to stop it!
Because he felt that his mother was being excessively filial, as she had been sold to the Bai family by his father and elder brother for five taels of silver!
She originally intended to sell herself to a wealthy landowner in town as a concubine for two taels of silver!
She had no other choice but to beg the Bai family to take her in!
Bai Chengye was kind-hearted and took Xu in. Unexpectedly, she became attached to the Bai family and took the initiative to seduce Bai Yong. In the end, Bai Yong felt sorry for this woman with a tragic fate, so he told his parents to marry her!
To think that the Xu family would actually raise the price on the spot, from two taels of silver to five taels of silver!
In the end, Bai Chengye scraped together the five taels of silver and married Xu Shi!
However, Ms. Xu always believed that her in-laws treated her well because her family supported her! So no matter what happened to the Xu family, she would always protect them to some extent!
Previously, the Bai family had turned a blind eye to her behavior because she had given birth to a grandson for the Bai family and had always been very dedicated to serving them. She was also filial to her in-laws. But now, things had changed, and they could no longer tolerate her bad behavior.
It's good that he was woken up!
So Lin Ru hit Xu Shi twice more with a stick, then kicked her aside! Then she started hitting the three men of the Xu family!
"Today I'll teach you what it means to respect women! I'll show you how the women you despise can trample you underfoot!"
"You beasts, from the moment you were born you despise your own mother! You despise your own wife! You despise your own sisters!"
"I wonder if anyone else would even be interested in you!"
"Do you know what disease you have? I'm not telling you! Since you've messed with me, you can just wait to die!"
"Now! The Bai family calls the shots in this ten-mile village!"
"The matter of dividing the horses is being communicated to you, not discussed with you! If you're not happy about it, then get out! Let's see how long you can survive without the Bai family!"
After she finished speaking, she also finished her game!
Lin Ru gracefully tossed the weapon in her hand behind her, and Lin Bai and Lin Mo immediately caught it!
Lin Ru simply and elegantly tidied the stray hairs on her forehead!
Then he addressed the crowd, "Pack your things and let's go right now!"
"If you can't keep up, then just wait to fend for yourself!"
