Chapter 874: Chapter 874: Drove Back Three Cars
Such brazen actions would definitely implicate the main house of the Lu family, and might even spread to the entirety of Shangshi Village.
If Lu Daniu hadn’t sent the person to the authorities on time, the authorities would surely have charged him with the crime of harboring a criminal.
The village chief was dubious about what Second Aunt Zhou said, but he still gathered the village elders to discuss the matter.
Also called in was Lu Dasong, who did not believe a word from Second Aunt Zhou.
While arguing with the village chief trying to make his case, suddenly they heard the villagers’ loud clamor.
Lu Dasong shivered, really, had they actually returned?
Fan Zhong and everyone else exchanged glances; their expressions turned extraordinarily grave. If Lu Shuyu had truly escaped from the exile area and e back, it could be a huge problem.
He suddenly turned to look at Lu Dasong, who also appeared somewhat panicked, but quickly thinking of his son’s temperament, he hurriedly asked the villager who came to report the news, “You said Yu has e back, then, then what about my son Daniu? Is he there or not?”
The villager nodded repeatedly, “Daniu is here, Daniu has also returned, not just him, but also Third Lu and your fourth brother-in-law are in the returning carriage as well.”
Saying that, he gestured a three, “They drove back three carriages, just barged into the village like that.” Their manner was quite imposing.
Hearing this, Lu Dasong breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly collected his thoughts before turning to Fan Zhong saying, “Village chief, Eldest Uncle, don’t panic just yet. You know what kind of person Daniu is. If Yu truly escaped and came back, he would definitely not bring her back to the village so openly.”
The people hesitated, but thinking it over, it seemed reasonable.
They might not be very familiar with the second daughter of the Lu family, but they knew Daniu, who had grown up in the village, very well.
Seeing that the faces of the village chief and the others had eased, Lu Dasong became more confident, “Moreover, Third brother and fourth brother-in-law are also here. Not to mention Third brother, fourth brother-in-law works at the Office, so if Yu really is an escaped convict, he would not conceal it, right? Let’s go see and clarify the situation to avoid any misunderstandings.”
Fan Zhong thought that there was sense in what Lu Dasong said, so he nodded, “Let’s go, let’s take a look at the situation at Second Lu’s house. I have to say in advance, if his second daughter is indeed an escaped convict, I will not be merciful, and will have her arrested and sent to the authorities immediately.”
Lu Dasong didn’t speak; he felt that things were not so simple.
Fan Zhong rubbed his temples and strode out of the door, with the others quickly following behind.
The Lu family wasn’t too far away. As Shu Yu and the others had to drive the mule carriage on the main road, it was slow going, and they had just stopped at the entrance of the house.
The old lady immediately called over Dabao and Dahu, “You two run quickly, go to Eldest Uncle’s house and call them over.”
“All right.” Dabao, having read books for over half a year, was somewhat more sensible than before, at least knowing the meaning of fraternal respect.
After listening to the old lady’s instructions, he turned his head to lead Dahu, “e on, I’ll take you. You’ve been away for so long, you might not remember where Eldest Uncle’s house is. Follow me; don’t get lost.”
Dahu, “…” It wasn’t as exaggerated as all that; he still knew where Eldest Uncle’s house was.
Still, he reached out his hand, and the two brothers ran off hand in hand at breakneck speed, quickly disappearing from sight.
The old lady was very pleased and said to Shu Yu, “Sending Dabao to school really was a good decision, look, he’s nothing like the local tyrant he used to be.”
