Boss Yuan’s face instantly turned ugly. The Yuan family members even took a step back with a somewhat embarra.s.sed expression.
Village Chief Chen snorted coldly, “Yesterday, you said that in the future, no matter whether Yuan Shanchuan is rich or poor, it has nothing to do with you. Now that you heard that he was valued by the Lord, did you want to rush to re-acknowledge your relatives? You guys are dreaming.”
The other villagers also agreed, especially the villagers who had a good relationship with Yuan Shanchuan. They were all gloating, ‘Yes, we all saw it with our own eyes. You guys were so ruthless yesterday. You wanted to cut off the family ties and chase him out of this house. You didn’t care if Shanchuan was seriously injured. You guys did such a cold-blooded thing. Now, you can’t be so thick-skinned that you want to bask in the glory again, right?”
“So many people witnessed it yesterday. This severing of marriage is no joke.
If you guys go back on your word, it’ll be a mess in the future.”
“That’s right. You’ve already taken the house and the silver. Shanchuan is already kind enough.”
The Yuan family members retreated repeatedly from everyone’s words and could not raise their heads at all.
From everyone’s words, Hu Li roughly knew what had happened.
He looked at the Yuan family with some disdain and said to Village Chief Chen, “Let’s go. Don’t pay attention to irrelevant people.”
“Yes, this way please.”
Village Chief Chen hurriedly led the two officers to the front. The villagers of Daxu Village were really curious about what reward Yuan Shanchuan had received. A few of them who had good health immediately followed.
The Yuan family stood at the back, their expressions changing.
Second Yuan and Third Yuan looked at Boss Yuan with some blame and said softly, “Big Brother, 1 told you that this severing of kinship was too serious. There’s no need to make such a fuss. Look at this…
“Shut up.”
Boss Yuan glared at them. It wasn’t as if he didn’t regret it in his heart.
Although his goal was the treasure buried in the courtyard, he felt uncomfortable after digging out the box and seeing that it was not the gold, silver, or jewelry he thought it was.
He would not have broken off ties with Fourth Brother if he had known earlier. He could have thought of other ways to slowly dig out the things from
that courtyard.
This was also Fourth Brother’s fault. He didn’t say earlier that the magistrate might reward him, causing him to use the worst method in a moment of desperation.
The Yuan family members looked at each other. In the end, they couldn’t help but leave the women behind to take care of the family. The others also followed to see how much money the county magistrate had rewarded Yuan
Shanchuan.
After Daniu heard Hu Li’s words, he had already left the crowd and ran towards Shangshi Village.
His face was full of excitement. The road was slippery on the rainy day, and he even accidentally fell.
However, that didn’t matter. Daniu quickly ran to Lu Erbai’s house.
The courtyard door was open, and even a few neighbors were sitting under the eaves talking to Lu Sixing.
The villagers of Shangshi Village had naturally heard about the strong incident that had happened to the Yuan family in Daxu Village. Even if it was raining, it did not hinder the speed at which they got the gossip.
It just so happened that the weather was not good today, and it was not easy to do things in the fields, so he wandered to the entrance of the Lu family’s house and asked Lu Sixing about what was going on.
Of course, some people cared about her, but a few were watching the show.
When Daniu panted and ran through the door, he made too much noise. The people under the eaves turned their heads to look at him..
