Shu Yu waved the paper bag, “This is the pastry from Liu Dessert Shop in town. I found it in the central room just now. The buyer gave this to Old Lady Ruan so that she can lure my brother and sister. However, Old Lady Ruan is obviously reluctant to give such good food to my brother and sister, so the eldest and second sons of the Ruan family didn’t work during the day and instead hid in the house to eat.”

This was evidence that Lu Sanzhu had accidentally heard.

The two daughters-in-law of the Ruan family, who had just returned from the fields, looked at their husbands in shock. Never mind if they didn’t share the food with them, but they even hid it from their children?

The faces of the two men flushed as they shouted, “Nonsense! When did we eat pastries? You’re the one who brought these desserts from Liuji Dessert Shop to frame us!”

“Before you speak, wipe the crumbs off the corner of your mouth.”

As soon as Shu Yu finished speaking, everyone’s eyes fell on the corners of the two men’s mouths. The two subconsciously raised their sleeves to wipe their mouths.

What else was there to say? The men from the Ruan family were obviously feeling guilty.

Shu Yu threw the paper bag in front of Old Lady Ruan. Seeing that the latter was still trying to argue, she sneered, “Don’t even think of saying that you bought it yourself. I heard that Liu Dessert Shop always record the production dates on their desserts, and the date on the paper is today. Did you go to town today? Or did someone else buy it for you? If so, who is that person?”

Old Lady Ruan’s eyes widened, and she was speechless.

“I… That was …”

“Enough!” Village Chief Ruan finally couldn’t take it anymore. He glared at Old Lady Ruan and then looked at the Ruan family’s sons.

His voice was deep, “The two of you have hands and feet, and your family is doing well. In the past, your eldest sister had always been protective of you, but this is how you treat her? She’s your sister. Is it not enough that you have already sold one of her daughters in the past? Do you really want to force them to their deaths? Do you even have a heart? Ah?”

The Ruan family’s sons were unwilling to admit their mistakes. Since they were young, they had been taught by Old Lady Ruan that it was only natural for their sister to suffer for them, even if the latter was married.

Although selling Erya last time was indeed not quite good, they were giving the twins to the Yu family in town this time. The Yu family was rich and would take the twins as their children. The twins were going there to enjoy life and even reduce the burden on the Lu family. What was there to be unhappy about?

However, they couldn’t say that the buyer was the Yu family since they didn’t get it done, so they just pursed their lips and remained silent.

Shu Yu took a few steps forward, “Can I go now?”

Village Chief Ruan looked at the messy ground and opened his mouth, wanting to ask for compensation. However, when he thought of Shu Yu’s threat and the gazes of the other villagers, he could only nod his head slightly. His head was throbbing as he said, “You can leave. I will punish them, so I hope that you will not go out and spread nonsense and ruin the reputation of our Ruan Family

Village. Otherwise, the villagers of the Ruan Family Village will not spare you.”

Shu Yu smiled, “I’ve said from the start that this is a personal grudge. You guys wanted to escalate it to a conflict between the villages. As long as you can keep their family in check and not cause trouble for us, I won’t say anything.” After she finished speaking, she swaggered toward the courtyard gate.

Old Lady Ruan looked left and right. Seeing that none of the villagers came forward to stop Shu Yu, she immediately shouted, “I want to report you to the authorities. You trespassed my property! I want to report you to the authorities!”

“Go if you want,” The village chief himself was in a terrible fix..
