Chapter 269 - 269 Do You Think We're Easy To Bully?
269 Do You Think We’re Easy To Bully?
Luo Cheng and Luo Ziyang also walked out when they heard the commotion. Seeing Li Xiaoran walk out, Luo Cheng glanced at her.
Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng.
“Do the people in this village think that we’re easy to bully? Why do they always look for us whenever someone goes missing?”
Luo Cheng laughed.
Li Xiaoqing also understood and quickly walked over to pat Hu Xuefei’s shoulder.
“Quick, don’t make a sound. Bring Little Yue’er and follow me!”
Hu Xuefei glanced at Li Xiaoqing and nodded. Then, she gestured for Little Yue’er to keep quiet. The mother and daughter followed Li Xiaoqing into the room.
On the other side, Luo Cheng looked directly at Luo Ziyang. Luo Ziyang nodded and, like last time, flew up the wall with a bamboo pole.
“Who are you? What are you doing outside our house?” Luo Ziyang asked angrily.
The people who came were none other than Old Madam Du and Du Wen.
There was also the village chief, Old Master Guo.
“It’s Ziyang! Someone saw the Du family’s daughter-in-law bring Little Yue’er into your house! So they came to ask!” Old Master Guo explained.
“Village Chief, are you guys really here to ask? Those who don’t know better would think that you guys are here to cause trouble for our family. Little Yue’er and her mother did come, but they’ve already left. They came to bid farewell and left after saying a few words to my sister-in-law!” Luo Ziyang said.
Hearing Luo Ziyang’s words, everyone was dumbfounded.
Indeed, someone saw Hu Xuefei walking towards the Luo family with Little Yue’er, but no one confirmed if Du Xuefei and Little Yue’er had left or not.
However, there were indeed two roads on the Luo family’s side.
One road led to the village., while the other had several exits. One led to the official road, and the other led into the mountains and another village.
If Hu Xuefei brought Little Yue’er into the mountains, it would definitely not be easy for them to find her.
“Why should we believe you? I’ll only believe you if you let us go in to look for them!”
When Luo Ziyang heard this, he immediately narrowed his eyes and said, “Who do you think you are? What do you take the Luo family as? You think you can come and go as you please?! I can even say that my family’s silver had been stolen by your family. Will you let me go in and look for it?”
With that, Luo Ziyang looked at Old Master Guo.
“Village Chief, is this how you uphold justice? Or should we invite the officials over to settle today’s matter? If you guys don’t find the Du family’s daughter-in-law in our family, how will the Du family give us an explanation?”
With that, Luo Ziyang said angrily, “What’s wrong? Whenever people in this village go missing, they come to our home to look for them? Previously, the Li family came to look for their people, and now that the Du family’s people have gone missing, they’re looking for us as well? Is the Luo family going to be responsible for anyone that goes missing in the village in the future? If that’s the case, shouldn’t the head of Hele Village be someone from the Luo family?”
These words were very harsh, making Old Master Guo feel embarrassed.
But on second thought, the Luo family’s anger was understandable.
Luo Cheng wasn’t someone to be trifled with and he also had ties with the government. Now that he had been wronged, it was normal for him to be angry.
Therefore, although Old Master Guo was embarrassed, he looked at Du Wen’s family and made a rational decision.
“Let’s go! The Luo family has already said that your wife left with Little Yue’er. You should bring people to chase after her!”
With that, Old Master Guo looked at Luo Ziyang.
“I’m really sorry for disturbing you guys today! As the village chief, I came here to help them ask around. As for the Du family’s unreasonable request, I definitely won’t support it!” With that, Old Master Guo left with the villagers.
Seeing this, Du Wen and Madam Du exchanged glances and quickly left as well.
Even the village chief didn’t dare to go against the Luo family, so Du Wen naturally didn’t dare to either.
On the way back, Old Madam Du complained, “Village Chief, why were you so lenient? He’s just a hunter. What are you afraid of?! I’m sure my daughter-in-law is in the Luo family’s home! As long as you call people in to look, you’ll definitely find her!”
Old Master Guo couldn’t take it anymore.
It was fine if the Luo family dared to show him attitude, but even this old woman from the Du family actually dared to blame him. Did she really think he was a pushover?
At this moment, Old Master Guo suddenly understood how the Luo family felt, so he looked at Old Madam Du with a long face.
“Are you telling me how to act like a village chief?”
Old Madam Du was startled by Old Master Guo’s sudden seriousness.
Du Wen was a tactful person, and he quickly pulled his mother back.
“Village Chief, don’t listen to my mother’s nonsense. She’s not quite right in the head. Don’t argue with someone who’s out of her mind! We’ll go find them ourselves!”
With that, Du Wen dragged his mother home.
When they returned to the Du family’s home, Du Wen let go of Old Madam Du’s hand.
“What are you doing? Who did you just say was crazy? I’m your mother! Do you know that? How can a son say that about his mother?” Seeing that there were no outsiders, Old Madam Du howled again.
“Mother, go ahead and howl. See if I’ll indulge you! If you anger me, I’ll leave too. I’ll leave you and my brother’s son to rely on each other. How about that?” Du Wen threatened fiercely.
This time, he hit a sore spot.
She could only count on him now. If he really abandoned her, how would she survive?
In order to make her life more comfortable and for her eldest grandson to grow up securely in the future, Old Madam Du could only shut her mouth and refrain from provoking her unfilial son anymore.
“Then what should we do now?” Old Madam Du finally asked.
“What can we do? It’s impossible to find her, and I’m not in the mood to search for her! It’s a good thing that she’s gone. I can bring Cui Ying back to give birth to a son!” Du Wen had already figured it out.
She was just a woman. If she ran away, so be it. Anyway, he had another woman.
Cui Ying could help him give birth to a son and let his bloodline continue. Wasn’t that perfect?
Therefore, Du Wen announced to the public that he had divorced Du Xuefei and married Cui Ying.
Du Xuefei received the news that they had divorced that night and immediately laughed maniacally.
After laughing, Du Xuefei thought of something and asked Li Xiaoran to send a letter to her family.
“Didn’t Du Wen say that he would divorce me? My family can ask for the divorce letter! With the divorce letter, I won’t be afraid of Du Wen anymore!”
