After you sever ties, it's no use crying and regretting it.

Chapter 20 Understand the situation

The situation was already extremely critical, but Xie Shulan quickly held on and began to make arrangements.

Her eldest son, Lü Muren, was still unconscious on the mountain. She had to get there as soon as possible; there might still be hope. No matter how difficult things were at that moment, she couldn't afford to faint.

If she can't hold on, things will get even worse.

Taking a deep breath to keep herself calm, Xie Shulan asked her fourth son, Lü Muzhi, and fifth son, Lü Muxin, to go find their father, Lü Daquan, and to ask the village's old doctor to wait at her house. They would take their eldest son, Lü Muren, back as soon as possible.

Their eldest son's condition was so critical that they couldn't delay and had to find a way to save him.

Regardless, the village's old doctor, Hu Weiye, is extremely skilled and might be able to save his eldest son.

With this hope in mind, Xie Shulan told her two youngest sons to quickly find someone to help.

As for Xie Shulan and the third brother Lü Muli, they hurriedly headed up the mountain together with the second brother Lü Muyi.

Even though the situation was already so dangerous, Xie Shulan had no intention of asking the people around her for help, knowing that they all listened to Wu Guizhi and wouldn't help their family.

Instead of wasting time asking them for help, they might as well go themselves and find a way to bring their eldest son, Lü Muren, back.

It was at this moment that Xie Shulan conceived the idea of ​​leaving Ningshui Village as soon as possible.

If they stay here, their entire family will likely lose their lives.

A few days should be enough time for my daughter, Lü Xinyan, to return from the Yuan family.

If they continue to wait in vain, they might as well go to Yuanguang Town to find out what's going on, lest their daughter Lü Xinyan encounter some trouble, or perhaps they can end their family's hopes in Yuanguang Town.

Rushing to Yuanguang Town like this would definitely be very dangerous, but if they couldn't survive in Ningshui Village, they had no other choice.

After Xie Shulan and the others left, the onlookers began to whisper among themselves, but not in a good way. They all said that the Lü Daquan family had committed too many sins and this was their retribution, and they showed no sympathy for them.

Just as Wu Guizhi said, it was Lü Daquan and his gang who deliberately committed evil deeds, and their eldest son, Lü Muren, deserved his fate in this incident.

However, many of them were already secretly plotting, trying to find a way to replace Wu Guizhi and get some benefits from the Yuan family.

What Wu Guizhi can do, they certainly can do too!

Even though they knew that Xie Shulan's previous words were problematic and most likely meant to deceive them, to sow discord and damage their relationship with Wu Guizhi.

However, their dissatisfaction with Wu Guizhi and the desire to gain more benefits continued to dominate them, causing them to waver and consider giving it a try.

Of course, they didn't show it in front of Wu Guizhi, lest their other approach fall through and they offend Wu Guizhi, making it impossible for them to continue getting food from her. That would be the worst outcome, losing on both ends.

Continuing to belittle Xie Shulan's family is their way of currying favor with Wu Guizhi. They are happy to do this by simply talking, since they don't lose anything anyway.

Wu Guizhi, meanwhile, was watching the spectacle with amusement, hoping to see Xie Shulan's family in unbearable pain.

After all, it was a five-step snake; Lu Muren might not even survive until a doctor came to treat him.

If Lü Muren were to die at this moment, then the previous efforts of Lü Daquan's family might completely collapse.

Her mission is also coming to an end.

Thinking of the plan she had received about the Yuan family last time, Wu Guizhi lowered her eyelids slightly, concealing the jealousy and madness in her eyes.

……

Meanwhile, with the help of the magpies and the peacekeepers, Lü Xinyan had gathered most of the Lü family's experiences over the years and learned more about the Lü family members.

Lü Xinyan had very complicated feelings about the Lü family.

Prior to this, the Lü family was unaware of Yuan Yutong's true background and doted on her, never mistreating her.

In the Lü family, Yuan Yutong has become the family's darling, and she has hardly ever done any heavy work.

Now that they know the truth about Yuan Yutong's background, and because of this, she has been framed and bullied by the villagers of Ningshui Village, and targeted by Wu Guizhi's schemes, they are still waiting for her return.

Knowing that she was the biological daughter of the Lü family, the Lü family members were all eagerly anticipating her return.

Despite not having seen her for so many years and not knowing of her existence before, she was still a member of the Lü family. The family had no reservations about her; on the contrary, they were worried that she would not live well in the Yuan family and would be bullied and abused by the Yuan family.

Moreover, seemingly convinced that she would definitely return, the family did not leave Ningshui Village, but stayed at the foot of Lianyun Mountain, waiting for so long and persevering for so long.

This gesture truly moved Lü Xinyan.

Of course, in such chaotic and famine-stricken years, leaving the village without travel permits or identification and becoming a refugee would be extremely dangerous. Staying at the foot of Lianyun Mountain with one's family would be a more suitable choice.

Lü Xinyan did not want her family to travel around for her sake or encounter other dangers.

Knowing that her family was waiting for her to return, worried that she was not doing well in the Yuan family, and that because of this, her family continued to be ostracized and bullied by Wu Guizhi and her people, but they all gritted their teeth and endured it and continued to wait, Lü Xinyan couldn't help but sigh softly, and still quickened her pace to reach Lianyun Mountain.

After all, the whole family had been struggling to survive here while waiting for her, and then one accident after another happened.

Now that she knew so much, Lü Xinyan decided to go back and take a look.

In her past life, she was terrified by the sudden revelation of her true identity and was also plotted against by the Yuan family. She was unable to return and could only send some money through someone, hoping that her family could live a good life.

However, that obviously did not succeed.

The Yuan family will not allow the Lü family to continue to exist.

This time, Lü Xinyan left early, thus avoiding the upheavals that occurred with the Yuan family and being manipulated and exploited. She escaped that calamity.

Having learned a great deal of the truth this time, Lü Xinyan was moved by the actions and attitudes of the Lü family. At this moment, she only hoped to help the Lü family overcome the recent series of crises, thwart the Yuan family's conspiracies and schemes, and save the lives of her family.

As for what happens next, she'll see how things go.
