Humph, if you are not benevolent, I will not be righteous! Bai Sheng intended to plant a thorn in the hearts of everyone in Huangsha Village! Then wait for time to ferment, let this thorn become sharper and sharper, until it can no longer be tolerated!
"Miss Bai, you are not from our Huangsha Village after all, and with your... status, it always seems inappropriate to butt in like this," Zhang Lanlan said, looking at Bai Sheng with disdain.
The love rival has finally arrived! Come to provoke her!
Bai Sheng rubbed her hands, ready to meet the challenge excitedly, when Lu Ye's icy, needle-like voice rang out, "Bai Sheng is my wife, my family, that is her status and position! Every word she says today is very appropriate, what right does Miss Zhang have to disallow my wife from speaking?"
Zhang Lanlan's pretty face turned pale. She looked at Lu Ye with innocent grievance, her eyes brimming with tears, "Little Ye Ge, she... she is just a..." Ugly and lowly slave!
Bai Sheng stared at Lu Ye, not finding any lingering affection for Zhang Lanlan in his eyes. Could it be that he was acting cold out of love turned to hate?
The village chief Zhang was already furious, and upon seeing his granddaughter being retorted, he immediately pointed at Lu Ye and Bai Sheng and said, "A bastard matches a lowly slave! Ungrateful wretches! Get out! You get out of Huangsha Village immediately! You are not welcome here!"
Old Madam Chen and others also immediately shouted, "Yes! Make them get out! Get out of our village! A bastard born to a lowly slave, marrying another lowly slave wife, will bring misfortune to our village!"
"Perhaps, the drought in our Huangsha Village is because their family brought misfortune!" Li Xianglan's eyes rolled, fanning the flames. The thought of An Shi's foxy face made her teeth tremble with hatred. Now, seeing her children driven away like stray dogs by the villagers, Li Xianglan had never felt so elated!
When the villagers heard this, their faces changed greatly, and they all echoed, shouting for Lu Ye and Bai Sheng to get out of Huangsha Village.
Compared to the only well in the village, Lu Ye's family was nothing. Since the village chief Zhang directly told them to get out, how could the villagers not respond?
For a moment, the shouts of "get out" resounded through the sky.
The village head and Li Xuanyi still wanted to persuade everyone, but their voices were too weak. As soon as they spoke, they were drowned out by the immense sound.
Although Lu Yun and Lu Yu were young, they were not intimidated by the scene. They had tight faces and puffed out their chests, glaring at the frantically shouting crowd.
Lu Hua, holding her younger brothers' hands, slowly looked up at the crowd. The timidity in her eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by growing hatred and determination.
Lu Ye and Bai Sheng's gazes slowly swept over the faces of those shouting loudly. They wanted to remember these people, remember the villagers who had never shown them any kindness, and remember this moment.
As if in unison, their gazes met, and both of them curved their lips slightly.
Lu Ye strode towards the village head. The shouting suddenly stopped, and all eyes fell on Lu Ye.
"Village head, it's not impossible for my family and I to get out of Huangsha Village, but I would like to ask the village head to write a statement of contract. As soon as the village head delivers the statement of contract to my hands, I will leave Huangsha Village completely with my wife and siblings by tomorrow at the latest!"
The village head looked at Lu Ye, his gaze somewhat complicated. He sighed helplessly, "Little Ye, you've seen it all. It's the general trend, don't blame Grandpa Li. What kind of statement of contract do you... want?"
Lu Ye smiled faintly, "A statement that my family of five and my descendants are completely no longer people of Huangsha Village, and from now on, any matters of Huangsha Village will have nothing to do with my family!"
Upon hearing the word "descendants," Bai Sheng's heart trembled. Lu Ye had told her before that he would not marry another woman, so... did these descendants mean he wanted to have children with her?
Zhang Lanlan also noticed this sentence and looked at Bai Sheng with venomous yet disdainful eyes.
Li Xuanyi frowned and said, "Little Ye, you must think clearly, do not act impulsively."
Lu Ye raised his hand to interrupt him, "I've thought very clearly. From now on, no matter what happens in Huangsha Village, it will have nothing to do with my family!"
The village head sighed, "Okay, I will write it later."
Lu Ye nodded, "Today I need to bury my parents. I can only leave tomorrow. Please inform the village head and the villagers clearly, and do not disturb my family before then."
"Don't worry, I will," the village head tried to pat Lu Ye's shoulder, but Lu Ye dodged.
The village head looked a bit awkward and sighed softly.
Thus, under the collective gaze of the villagers, Lu Ye and Bai Sheng dug out their parents' bodies from the sand.
Seeing the scene before them, the village head closed his eyes helplessly, and Li Xuanyi's mood was also very complex.
The village chiefs of the Zhang and Lu families, along with Old Madam Chen and others, were extremely smug. Although the other villagers had varied expressions, they were all uniformly indifferent. Their parents dying without a burial place had nothing to do with them.
Lu Ye once again hugged his parents' sand-covered bodies and walked towards home. Bai Sheng also took Lu Hua and the others' hands and followed closely behind him.
The villagers watched their receding figures, gazed for a long time, and then dispersed.
Returning home, after Lu Ye put his parents' bodies away, he called his three younger siblings to his side.
"You all saw what happened today. We can no longer live here. We will leave Huangsha Village tomorrow. While we have time, you should pack your things."
"Brother, where will we live then?" Lu Yun asked, tilting his head, his big eyes rolling.
Lu Ye stroked his head and smiled, "If this place doesn't keep me, there's always another place. From now on, we'll live at Hongshu Slope."
Lu Hua was a little surprised. She hesitated for a moment and worried, "Brother, I heard that many vagrants live at Hongshu Slope..."
"It's alright, when we go there... we will also be vagrants," Lu Ye said gently. There were not many suitable places to live in the desert. Only Hongshu Slope was a free territory, not belonging to any nearby village.
Lu Hua was stunned for a moment, then lowered her eyes and nodded.
Lu Yu, however, was a bit excited. He ran in and out with his short legs, packing his things. He was finally leaving this hateful village and never wanted to see those bad children who often bullied him and his second brother again!
Although Bai Sheng did not know what Hongshu Slope was, she believed that Lu Ye's decision would not be wrong. After all, he had grown up here and knew everything about this place.
However, the extremely embarrassing scene today was bound to leave psychological scars on the children. Bai Sheng pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and then walked to Lu Yun and Lu Yu, with a motherly loving smile, saying, "Little Yun, Little Yu, don't think too much about what happened today. There are indeed many bad people in this world, but there are also good people. If we want to protect ourselves, we must learn to distinguish who is good and who is bad. We must stay away from bad people."
"Are we leaving Huangsha Village because there are many bad people here?" Lu Yun asked.
"Yes," Bai Sheng nodded, not avoiding this point. At least she had to give the children a clear image of bad people.
Lu Yun scratched the back of his head and asked, "Then, sister-in-law, how can we tell who is a good person and who is a bad person?"
Before Bai Sheng could answer, Lu Yu asked in a milky voice, "Sister-in-law, is someone who gives me food a good person? And someone who hits me is a bad person?"
