Chapter 90 Regret
Chapter 90 Regret
In Ningshui Village, Wu Guizhi went to the neighboring village to deliver food to her family. When she returned in the morning, she learned that Lü Daquan and his family had already left Ningshui Village.
This news greatly frightened Wu Guizhi, and she immediately erupted in anger.
The Lu family was the most important reason why the Yuan family treated Ningshui Village differently, and it was also the key to why they continued to receive food and other benefits from the Yuan family.
The Yuan family's condition was that they must trap Lü Daquan's family, preventing them from leaving Ningshui Village and from escaping their control.
But now, she's only gone back to her parents' home once, and the village has already created such a huge mess for her!
If Lu Daquan's family leaves Ningshui Village, how will she explain it to the Yuan family and to Yuan Yutong in the future?
If things go wrong, she could lose her life!
These people are indeed useless, good-for-nothings who are more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything!
After learning about what happened at the village ancestral hall, the strange events experienced by the village chief Wu Youcai and the clan chief Lü Bowen, and Lü Bowen's subsequent actions, including giving Lü Daquan all the important documents such as the severance of ties and travel permits, Wu Guizhi was so angry that she felt dizzy.
Even though this is a major issue concerning the unrest of the ancestors of the Lü clan in the afterlife, their actions may very well lead to the extinction of those of them who are still alive!
The Yuan family, and that Yuan Yutong, are no pushovers. How could we let them off so easily?
Lu Bowen and Wu Youcai have oversimplified things!
Looking at Lü Bowen, whose face was equally gloomy, Wu Guizhi took a deep breath to calm herself down before speaking to Lü Bowen and the others: "Clan Chief, Lü Daquan and his family cannot leave Ningshui Village!"
“This is crucial to the survival of everyone in our village. It was specifically instructed by the Yuan family that we cannot allow them to leave Ningshui Village, and we cannot allow them to get out of control!”
"Only if Lü Daquan and his family stay in the village will the Yuan family continue to give us food and allow us to continue targeting Lü Daquan's family, so that they won't cut off our livelihood."
Wu Guizhi had already discussed this important matter with the clan chief Lü Bowen and the clan elder Lü Jiquan, and had their full support. That's why she was able to deliberately target Xie Shulan's family in the village, complete the task assigned by the Yuan family, and use this opportunity to curry favor with the Yuan family and gain more benefits from them.
However, so much has happened in the village in the short time she has been gone that even Lu Daquan's whole family has left Ningshui Village!
Now she's in deep trouble; she can't explain this to the Yuan family!
Taking another deep breath, Wu Guizhi tried not to lose her temper in front of the clan chief, Lü Bowen. She had to control her temper to avoid offending Lü Bowen further.
After a pause, Wu Guizhi continued, "Now that Lü Daquan's whole family has run away, if the Yuan family finds out, they definitely won't continue to give us food, and they won't easily give us the Bone-Piercing Technique."
"Without the food the Yuan family provided, how are we supposed to cope with the famine outside? How are we supposed to survive in Ningshui Village?"
"We were able to stay in Ningshui Village without having to flee the famine, all thanks to the grain that the Yuan family gave us."
The famine outside was already very severe. They were able to continue to live a difficult life in Ningshui Village without starving to death or having to flee the famine because they received food from the Yuan family.
If they became refugees fleeing famine, their lives would not be easy.
The only way they could obtain grain and other benefits from the Yuan family was by dealing with Lü Daquan's family.
The Yuan family was targeting Lü Daquan's family. These people acted as lackeys for the Yuan family, plotting against Lü Daquan's family; this was the fundamental reason they received grain from the Yuan family.
Otherwise, the Yuan family wouldn't even bother looking at their Ningshui Village.
Such an important matter, and the village is handling it like this? It's absolutely outrageous!
After a pause, Wu Guizhi continued, "Clan chief, the disaster outside is getting worse and worse. Many people in the villages are now starving and have no choice but to flee their homes. The situation is not optimistic."
“Our village used to have food provided by the Yuan family, which allowed us to continue living well in Ningshui Village instead of having to wander around. Now that the Lü Daquan family is no longer in the village, the Yuan family will stop sending food.”
"Without food, we'll probably have to leave the village soon."
Yesterday, everything was fine. She even led people to continue bullying Xie Shulan. How could things have turned out like this in such a short time?
Even though Lü Muren was supposed to die, Lü Daquan's entire family left the village, disrupting all her plans!
If the Lü Daquan family were no longer in the village, the Yuan family would probably not give in to them so easily if they found out!
At this moment, Wu Guizhi truly hated and was utterly fed up with it.
A bunch of ungrateful and arrogant people, without Lü Daquan's family as bargaining chips, what chance do they have to continue negotiating with the Yuan family? How could they possibly get food from the Yuan family?
Wu Guizhi was extremely troubled about how to explain things to the Yuan family and how to avoid being retaliated against and abandoned by them.
What should she do about this huge mess?
Knowing the seriousness of the problem, Lü Bowen and his men had already sent people to chase after them, but even after they had chased quite a distance from the village, they still could not find any trace of Lü Daquan's family.
This situation greatly frustrated Lu Bowen and his team.
They knew the situation was complicated, and after careful consideration and discussion, they decided to send Lü Daquan's family to the next village to be looked after by Wu Guizhi's family. However, when they went to check on them early in the morning, Lü Daquan's family had already left.
It was only at that moment that Lü Bowen and the others began to regret their actions.
Unfortunately, Lu Daquan's family has already left the area of Ningshui Village and their whereabouts are unknown!
They searched the surrounding area carefully, but were unable to find any clues.
By this point, what else could they not understand? Lu Daquan and his family had already escaped; they wouldn't be able to find them easily again, nor would they be able to control them so easily!
Realizing this, Lü Bowen and the others felt particularly remorseful and were able to tolerate Wu Guizhi's attitude at this moment.
Otherwise, they would have slapped him already!
