The villagers in the courtyard walked towards Shu Yu, “Lu family’s daughter, put down the axe quickly. Otherwise, we won’t be polite to you.”
“Try me then,” Shu Yu suddenly retracted his axe and kicked the Ruan family’s eldest son out.
He crashed into the villagers who were walking over, and they instantly fell into a pile and couldn’t get up.
Following this, Shu Yu went to the central room and started to hack at things randomly with the axe.
Old Lady Ruan’s heart ached, “Stop her! Who can stop her?”
“The village chief is here! Quick, the village chief is here!” A villager shouted.
Shu Yu had already destroyed the central room. Just as she was about to enter the house, the village chief of the Ruan Family Village hurried over.
Shu Yu’s hand paused. She placed the axe on her shoulder and walked out slowly.
Village Chief Ruan looked at the chaotic scene and gasped. He glared at Shu Yu and said angrily, “What are you doing? Do you really think that the Ruan Family Village has no one and you can come here and act so lawlessly?”
Someone whispered into Village Chief Ruan’s ear, “Village chief, this girl is the daughter of Shangshi Village’s Lu Erbai who was sold when she was young. She said she’s here for revenge.”
As he spoke, he nudged his mouth at Old Lady Ruan, meaning that she was the one who did the deed.
Village Chief Ruan was stunned and his anger subsided a little. Then, he glared at Old Lady Ruan. It was all her fault.
Old Lady Ruan hurriedly helped her two sons up. After the Ruan family’s second son got up, he saw that the courtyard was full of his relatives. Without a word, he picked up the hoe on the ground and swung it at Shu Yu’s face. “Wretched girl, you dare to hit me? I’ll beat you to death, you unfilial thing!”
The villagers in the courtyard watched helplessly as the hoe struck down aggressively, and all of them gasped.
Shu Yu only moved half a step to the side, “It seems you didn’t learn your lesson.”
She then took a few steps forward and appeared behind the Ruan family’s second son. Following this, she grabbed the handle of the axe and slammed it against his back.
“Ah!” The Ruan family’s second son screamed and slammed heavily on the steps. One of his teeth was knocked out and his mouth was full of blood.
The people in the courtyard could not help but feel a toothache.
Village Chief Ruan frowned and pushed the two villagers beside him as he scolded, “What are you waiting for? Help him up.”
“Oh, oh.” The two villagers looked at Shu Yu fearfully. Her actions just now had been clean and neat. She was clearly an expert.
The Ruan family’s second son was helped to the side while wailing like a ghost. This scene made the Ruan family’s eldest son, who had wanted to go forward, take two steps back and not dare to move.
Upon seeing this, Old Lady Ruan could only complain to the village chief, “Third uncle, you have to stand up for us. Look at this wretched girl, what has she done to our family? She doesn’t put the Ruan Family Village in her eyes at all. She came as she wanted to and hit people whenever she wants. I’m even her grandmother! If it was someone else, wouldn’t she…”
Village Chief Ruan had a headache, “Alright, Ah Wang’s wife, calm down first.
I’ll handle this.’
Two women came over and helped Old Lady Ruan to the side.
Village Chief Ruan then turned to look at Shu Yu, his face gloomy, “Erya of the Lu family, I know you’re angry, but you shouldn’t have done all this. Look at what you’ve done to the Ruan family. The Ruan Family Village won’t let this matter go just like that.”
“I’ve said it before that I’m only here for revenge. This is a personal grudge.. But from what I’ve heard, village chief, are you trying to escalate this to a conflict between the villages?”
