Chapter 138: Heading to Dayan Village
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
This time, Daniu had become smarter. Not only did he bring along male laborers, but he also brought many women to deal with unreasonable people like Old Lady Zhang.
As soon as Village Chief Fan Zhong entered the Lu family, he rushed towards Zhang Shu and spat fiercely, “I’ll let you see today whether Shangshi Village is united enough and whether they’ll stand up for Daya. Do you really think that there’s no one in my village? To think you’re bullying the good girls of our village like this.”
Shu Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at Daniu.
It seemed that Daniu had told Village Chief Fan and the others what she had said on the way here. Therefore, Village Chief Fan was not the only one who was furious. The others also had ugly expressions on their faces.
Fan Zhong couldn’t help but kick Zhang Shu. He then walked up to Lu Erbai and said, “Daniu has told us about this bastard. Daya is such a good girl, but she has suffered for the past two years. Don’t worry, we’ll go to Dayan Village to look for the Zhang family. We must seek justice for Daya and make them divorce.”
Lu Erbai’s eyes reddened, “With Uncle Fan’s words, I can finally feel at ease. It’s all my fault for being useless and implicating my daughter. I’ll have to trouble Uncle Fan and everyone else for today’s matter. I, Lu Erbai, am eternally grateful. When my leg recovers, I’ll definitely come and thank you.”
“Second son of the Lu family, you’re too polite. We watched her grow up, after all. We feel bad that Daya has been living a bitter life as well. In the past, we thought that she was tortured by her in-laws because she couldn’t give birth, thus we didn’t have the confidence to stand up for her. Now that we know it’s all this bastard Zhang Shu’s fault, we definitely won’t let her suffer anymore.”
The others spoke up. This time, even Madam Li echoed and said that she wanted to settle the score with Old Lady Zhang.
Just now, Daniu had said that not only did Zhang Shu look down on her second
and third brothers-in-law, but he actually said that her husband did not have a mind of his own and did not treat Daya as his niece. Her husband’s expression had been ugly then, and he looked at her with a blaming gaze.
Fan Zhong waved his hand, ” Alright, let’s not say anything else. Let’s not delay any longer and go to the Zhang family now.”
Lu Erbai wanted to go as well, but his leg hadn’t recovered yet. If there was a
conflict between the two parties, he might even implicate others, let alone help.
Therefore, he could only help look after the children at home and wait for them to come back.
He glanced at Shu Yu, who nodded at him. Lu Erbai was instantly relieved. To be honest, he didn’t really trust Village Chief Fan, and he didn’t completely rely on his brothers. The only person he truly trusted was Shu Yu.
As long as Yu was here, this matter would be settled.
Under the leadership of Village Chief Fan Zhong, the group quickly headed towards Dayan Village.
Zhang Shu was still tied up and gagged, unable to say a word. He was escorted away by Daniu and Lu Sanzhu.
Fan Zhong was asking Shu Yu about the details of the situation. Daniu’s explanation just now had been quite messy, and the old lady was not clear about today’s events either. Only Shu Yu knew everything from the beginning to the end.
Shu Yu knew that Village Chief Fan did not have much management ability. Even if he went to negotiate now, he would not be able to find his stance. He probably thought that the matter could be settled if he went to the old man of the Zhang family and threaten him.
But in fact, he was going there as the village chief, so the person he had to face should naturally be the village chief.
Therefore, Shu Yu told him what had happened with slight exaggerations while using circuitously telling him what to do.
Fan Zhong nodded repeatedly with a dark face, and the group sped up.
No one noticed that a few small figures were following them, poking their heads out and immediately shrinking back as if they were afraid of being discovered..
