Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

Following Lu You's words, the courtyard fell into complete silence.

Looking at the thin figure in the courtyard, everyone felt shocked.

No one could believe that Lu You, who had always presented herself as a gentle and timid person since she was a child, would actually say such cruel words.

At this moment, everyone present finally understood.

Lu You has really changed!

As the old saying goes, people grow up overnight after experiencing certain things.

But no one could have imagined that Lu You would change so completely in just one day.

It seems that Lu Dejin’s death was a huge blow to Lu You!

Lu Decai's face turned red at this time, and he looked at Lu You as if he wanted to eat him alive.

"Luyo! Do you know how much two taels of silver is? You are trying to kill your uncle!"

After listening to Lu Decai's words, Qian, who was frightened silly by Lu You, finally came to her senses and started to slap the ground and howl.

“I can’t survive!!”

"Everyone, come and take a look! Something bad has happened to the old Lu family!"

"This little bastard asked for two taels of silver right away. He is trying to drive our family to death..."

Looking at Qian who was throwing a tantrum on the ground, Lu Yi frowned.

After hesitating for a long time, Lu Yi finally walked up to Lu You and spoke in a low voice.

"Second sister, did our family really lose two taels of silver?"

Although Lu Yi had never touched his family's money, he knew that his family did not have much savings.

Even though my father and Mr. Qiu had borrowed five taels of silver needles a few days ago, he had to bring some money with him when he went to take the exam, and it was impossible for him to give all five taels to Lu You.

Otherwise, Lu You would not have only taken out three taels of silver during the day, and would have had to rely on Zhao Wenbo to make up the difference in order to pay off the debt.

The two taels of silver that Lu You mentioned as being lost were extortion.

This is wrong in Lu Yi's worldview of "reading the books of sages and practicing the way of a gentleman"! !

Lu You turned his head to look, but was met with Lu Yi's gaze that showed no sign of retreat.

Looking at those clear eyes, Lu You sighed helplessly in his heart.

This child is honest, but he uses his wisdom in the wrong place.

Typical of someone who reads too much and becomes stupid!!

In desperation, Lu You spoke softly.

"Lu Yi, I am very pleased that you are so upright."

"But I also have a question for you. You once said before that an elder sister is like a mother. I wonder if this is just a courtesy or does it come from the heart?"

Lu Yi was slightly stunned when he heard this. Although he didn't understand why his second sister suddenly asked this question, he still put his hands together and saluted Lu You solemnly.

"It's natural."

"That's good."

Lu You nodded with satisfaction, then pointed in the direction of the main house with a smile.

"Then now..."

"Get down in front of your father's spirit tablet and kneel down immediately!"

"Don't get up until dawn!!"

“???” Lu Yi looked at Lu You in confusion: “Second sister, I…”

"My words are useless?" Lu You spoke again in a cold voice.

Hearing this, Lu Yi hurriedly lowered his head: "Lu Yi dare not!"

As soon as he said this, Lu Yi turned around and walked away. Without any hesitation, he entered the main room and knelt neatly in front of Lu Dejin's spirit tablet.

[Negative emotions from Lu Yi +200, +200, +200...]

Listening to the prompt sound coming from his mind, Lu You suppressed his anger and looked at Lu Ming next to him.

But before she could open her mouth, Lu Ming waved his hands repeatedly.

"Second sister! I have never doubted you..."

"Then go kneel down in front of me!!"

Hearing Lu You's words, Lu Ming turned and ran, and joined Lu Yi in kneeling down...

Seeing the two of them being so obedient, Lu You’s mood finally calmed down a little.

Turning around, Lu You looked directly at Lu Decai opposite him.

"Uncle, you don't doubt that the two taels of silver I lost don't exist at all, do you?"

After hearing Lu You's question, Lu Decai's face turned extremely ugly, as if he had eaten a fly.

We are not fools. Who can't see that Lu You is ripping us off?

But what can he do?

If it weren't for the two taels of silver, Lu You would have sued Lu Sanhu for rape.

So what if Sanhu didn’t do it?

Raping a woman is a serious crime. Who would admit to committing such a thing?

As long as you report it to the county government, you will definitely be severely punished, and you will definitely confess under torture!

Once the charge was established, let alone the one hundred strokes of the cane in court, even if he managed to survive it by luck, Lu Sanhu would definitely die on the way to exile.

In order to save his son, Lu Decai had to accept the two taels of silver even if he didn't want to! !

Looking at Lu You, Lu Decai clenched his teeth and even his body began to tremble slightly.

"Luyo, I am your uncle!"

"Even if Sanhu was wrong in this matter, considering that we are blood relatives, can you please raise your hand and give me one tael... one tael of silver?"

"Uncle, please..."

As Lu Decai said this, he bent down and was about to kneel down in front of Lu You, but how could Lu You let him do as he wished?

With light steps, Lu You dodged to the side just before Lu Decai knelt down.

"Uncle, as a junior, I cannot bear your kneeling."

"Now you remember our blood relationship. Just now when you wanted to hit Lu Ming and my aunt wanted to take me, a little bastard, to see the officials, why didn't you remember our blood relationship?"

"Besides, you are kneeling not because you feel guilty, but because you feel sorry for the money."

"I advise you to be more open-minded. Although two taels of silver is not a small amount, it is more valuable than your life."

"Now I just want your word, will you give me the silver or not?"

Every word Lu You said was heart-piercing. At this point, Lu Decai knew that there was no room for maneuver, so he simply sneered and stood up.

"Great, great! It seems my second brother really is a good parent!"

"I accept this two taels of silver!"

As Lu Decai said this, he turned around and picked up Lu Sanhu, who was pretending to be dead on the ground.

When Qian, who was standing nearby, saw the head of the family accept the two taels of silver, her crying became even more miserable.

"Boss, that's two taels of silver..."

"What are you yelling for!" Lu Decai roared and pulled up Qian who was sitting on the ground: "Are you not embarrassed enough tonight? Come home with me!!"

Although Qian was unwilling to give up, she dared not disobey Lu Decai's words. She could only spat at Lu You twice to vent her dissatisfaction.

With the departure of Lu Decai and his companions, the farce finally ended.

After taking another look at the blood on the ground, Sun Mantang slowly waved his hand.

"Now that everything is over, let's all go!"

After hearing the headman's words, everyone turned around and dispersed.

…………

After everyone disappeared into the night, Lu You turned around and looked at the two people kneeling in the main room.

"You two, come out and shovel the blood in the yard."

Hearing Lu You's call, Lu Ming and Lu Yi hurriedly got up, found a wooden shovel from the corner and started to get busy.

Looking at the obedient appearance of the two, Lu You sighed in his heart.

Lu Ming is 16 and Lu Yi is 14. If they were born in modern times, they would be the apple of the eye of their elders regardless of age.

But they have endured too much.

Thinking back to the scolding he had just given to the two of them, Lu You couldn't help feeling a little bit reluctant.

"Lu Ming and Lu Yi, do you think that Second Sister went too far just now?"

Luming: “No!”

Lu Yi: “Yes!”

[Negative emotions from Lu Yi +30, +25, +20...]

Listening to the system prompt sound coming from his mind, the regret that had just risen in Lu You's heart also dissipated...

"Well, Lu Yi, keep kneeling after you finish cleaning up, and don't get up before daybreak!"
