Chapter 2033: Chapter 2033: I’ll Fulfill My Filial Duty

Shu Yu thought what Xiang had found out was the same as Ying Xi, the cause of Old Lady Ruan’s illness, but now it seems not.

“What do you mean by this, Mrs. Xiang?”

“Oh, you don’t know, Old Lady Ruan is dead, but her two sons still want to use her to benefit themselves. They deliberately sent someone to find your mother alone, isn’t it because they know your mother has a soft heart and gentle nature? As long as your mother goes, they will cling to her for help.”

Old Lady Ruan passed away, so the Ruan family brothers thought Madam Ruan’s anger should be gone.

After all, it’s her own mother; how can anything in the world compare to the death of the closest elder, right?

The Ruan family brothers had it all planned. All the things were done by Old Lady Ruan, now that she’s gone, the Lu family and the Ruan family can still resume their interactions, can’t they? Could Madam Ruan really abandon her own family? What if she gets bullied by her in-laws in the future?

Anyway, the Ruan family brothers have a thousand ways to persuade Madam Ruan. In their minds, Madam Ruan is timid and weak. They could cry a bit, play the victim, reminisce about the past, and push their skinny, pitiful younger generation forward; with Madam Ruan’s temperament, she is bound to be moved somewhat. Just a little breach, and they have a chance.

At first, they didn’t plan much, it’s just that life at home is too hard, Madam Ruan now has money, just letting a little bit slip through her fingers would be enough for them to live better.

Yes, it’s all hidden from the Lu family.

The Ruan family brothers dare to scheme against Madam Ruan, but they dare not face Shu Yu. They still shiver at the memory of her chopping down the Ruan family kitchen and living room with an axe.

Of course, these are the private thoughts of the Ruan family brothers, but they can’t hide from the village chief of the Ruan Family Village.

Ironically, Village Chief Ruan has his own selfish motives. He thinks even more than the Ruan family brothers. If playing the victim can’t make Madam Ruan yield, they can also threaten her. Those in high positions are most concerned about their reputation. If Madam Ruan considers her children, she surely wouldn’t let things become too strained or irreparable.

Anyway, as long as she arrives in Ruan Family Village, there are so many Ruan family members, they can’t handle just her?

So the idea of letting the cousin go to the tailor shop to find Madam Ruan was proposed by Village Chief Ruan.

Although the majority of villagers in Ruan Family Village listen to him, there are a few honest folks who resent Village Chief Ruan’s actions. Among them, his neighbor is very dissatisfied with Village Chief Ruan’s family over the foundation land issue, so much so that they often keep an eye on his movements.

Therefore, once Xiang returned to the village, this neighbor relayed the news they heard to her.

Xiang despised their actions, “In any case, don’t let your mother go, find some excuse to refuse, that Ruan Family Village is like a den of wolves.”

After hearing it all, Shu Yu let out a cold laugh, “I understand. Mrs. Xiang, rest assured, I know what to do.”

Xiang knew she was capable, and upon hearing this, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She had business at the tailor shop and didn’t stay long, soon leaving.

Once she was gone, Ying Xi asked, “Miss, what should we do next?”

“The Ruan family brothers are really devoted to their mother, using her so thoroughly even after she’s gone.” Shu Yu crossed her arms and smiled, “Since they want my mother to go send her off, as her daughter, I should go in her stead.”

“Miss plans to go to Ruan Family Village?”

“Yes, isn’t it convenient that tomorrow is free? I’ll go and pay my respects.”
