Chapter 54: Can I Leave Now?

 Chapter 54: Can I Leave Now?

Shu Yu raised the paper bag and said, "This is a pastry from Liu's Dim Sum Shop in town, which I found in the hall just now. This was the tool the buyer gave Ruan Pozi to lure my younger siblings. But Ruan Pozi obviously didn't want to give such a good thing to my siblings, so earlier, Ruan's eldest and second eldest were hiding in the house and eating it instead."

This was evidence that Lu Sanzhu had accidentally overheard.

Ruan's two daughters-in-law, who had already returned from the fields, looked at their own men incredulously. They could understand not sharing with them, but even hiding it from their own children?

Ruan's eldest son and second don turned slightly red and shouted angrily, "Nonsense, when did we eat pastries? These pastries from Liu's are clearly what you brought to frame us."

"Before you speak, clean the pastry crumbs from the corners of your mouths," Shu Yu said coldly.

As soon as she said this, everyone's gaze fell on the corners of the two men's mouths, and they instinctively raised their sleeves to wipe them clean.

With this revelation, there was nothing more to say. These Ruan brothers were clearly guilty.

Shu Yu threw the paper bag in front of Granny Ruan, and when she tried to defend herself, Shu Yu sneered, "You don't have to say you bought this yourself. I heard that Liu's pastries are dated, and the date on this one is today. Did you go to town today? Or did someone else buy it for you? If so, who was it?"

Ruan Pozi widened her eyes and was at a loss for words.

"I, I..."

"Enough!!" Village Chief Ruan finally couldn't take it anymore. He glared fiercely at Ruan Pozi and then looked at the Ruan brothers.

His voice became deep, "You brothers have hands and feet, and your family is not living poorly. Your eldest sister has always taken care of you, and this is how you treat her? She is your own sister, and you sold her daughter. Isn't that enough? Do you really want to force them to death? Do you have a conscience?"

The Ruan brothers were not convinced. They had been indoctrinated by Ruan Pozi since they were young to think that their sisters should be the ones to sacrifice for them, even after getting married.

Although it was not a good thing to sell Er Ya last time, this time they sold the twins to the wealthy Yu family in town. The Yus were rich, and they were going to adopt the twins as their own children. The twins would live a good life, and it would also reduce the burden on the Lu family. What was there for their eldest sister to be unhappy about?

Just because they didn't get what they wanted, they couldn't say anything to justify themselves. At the moment, they just turned their heads and remained silent.

Shu Yu took a few steps forward and asked, "Can I leave now?"

Village Chief Ruan looked at the mess on the ground and was about to demand compensation from Shu Yu. However, considering Shu Yu's earlier threat and the glares from other villagers in Ruan Village, he could only nod slightly and say, "You can go now. I will punish them. I hope you won't spread rumors and damage the reputation of our Ruan Village. Otherwise, the villagers of Ruan Village won't let you off."

Shu Yu smiled and said, "I said from the beginning that this was a personal grudge. It was you who wanted to turn it into a conflict between villages. As long as you can keep that family from bothering us, I won't say anything more."

After speaking, she walked straight towards the gate of the courtyard.

 The old lady looked around, but none of the villagers came forward to stop Shu Yu. She immediately shouted, "I'm going to report you to the authorities. You trespassed into a private residence."

"Go ahead," the village chief was already at his wit's end.
