The villagers knew that the Lu siblings earned money through catching some fish for Old Man Wu to sell, they also own a small vegetable field beside their house, and they frequently go to town to sell embroidered handkerchiefs.
They looked at Mrs. Xiu with disgust. "I only took what was mine! Lu Hu An is my son in law, I didn't steal anything" Lu Ying Yue frowned and with a dark expression Lu Hu An stared at her coldly.
"they should pay me some filial piety," Mrs. Xiu immediately said. The villagers look at the oldest Lu siblings "I'll leave the punishment to the country officials. Village chief I'll leave this matter to you" Lu Ying Yue said.
Mrs. Xiu and Xiu Fenfang paled, Xiu Fenfang bowed down and beg for forgiveness but Lu Ying Yue ignored her. Lu Hu An said "We already gave you a chance earlier, we even asked you to confess on your own and that this matter will be written into an agreement. But you just stood their innocently"
"You ungrateful son, you don't deserve my daughter, you should just di—" Mrs. Xiu glared at the siblings but was cut off by Lu Ying Yue.
"Hu An is not your son, we don't owe you anything. Before this happened, you went to our home, ordering me to wash your clothes and forcing Hu An to marry your daughter. My siblings and I left our hometown to live a peaceful life. Hence, we thought that this village is perfect to live peacefully. We chose to live away from the village, and we keep to ourselves. Hu An and I already warned you before to leave us alone. This time I won't let it go; I'll not allow anyone like you to destroy Hu An's reputation. I'll leave the punishment to the country officials" Lu Ying Yue coldly spoke
"Go and get a horse cart to drive us to the country official. I will not let this matter go. This is also to teach everyone a lesson. Stealing or slandering is not accepted in this village, and that the person will be punished by the country officials. Let's not keep wasting our time, tie Mrs. Xiu" Bai Bojing spoke, the elders nodded, and the villagers felt that the punishment was just right.
The men were about to put Mrs. Xiu inside the cart but Xiu Fenfang grabbed her. Their patience snapped, so they also drag Xiu Fenfang inside the cart. The village chief and two men also rode the cart and when the Lu siblings was about to leave "Ying Yue I can send some villagers to help you and your brother clean the mess"
Lu Ying Yue looked at her brother and he shook his head. Lu Ying Yue nodded and turned around "Thank you for the offer Village chief but, Hu An and I can manage it"
Seeing the horse cart leaving, the villagers and the Lu siblings slowly left back to their own home. The Lu siblings arrived back home and put down their basket. Lu Ying Yue looked at their front yard and saw that the rabbit cage was intact, she looked at Lu Zhi Yan "Xiao Yan I have a task for you. I'll leave the rabbits in your care. Put them in the cage, feed them grass and water" Lu Zhi Yan nodded and went to the rabbits.
