Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After Shu Yu and the other two finished eating, the Shu family members gathered firewood and water.

Anyway, even if they didnt have the strength, they still had to go through a lot of wrangling about who would boil the water and cook.

In the end, no one had the upper hand.

The next day, was another day of confusion and no light. Except for Shu Yu, everyone else felt that it was better to die than to live. Especially after working for the whole day, the soreness that had acc.u.mulated overnight surged up, making people want to die.

As usual, they went to the manor to get the tools to work. Shu Yu still worked with a family of three.

With yesterdays tacit understanding, the four of them got along very harmoniously.

Shu Yu thought that Meng Yunzheng would bring news of Master Lan at night. Who knew that just after noon, a person ran over? It was unknown whether his face was excited or worried. In short, his expression was somewhat distorted and he said, Have you heard? Something happened to

Master Lan.

When Shu Yu heard the word, Master Lan, she could not help but perk up her ears.

She wasnt the only one. Everyone who was eating in the area turned to look and heard the person say, In the morning, when Master Lan went out, he fell off the bridge for some reason and broke his leg.

What? Everyone exclaimed, He broke his leg?

Shu Yu was speechless. It must be Meng Yunzheng.

His actions were as clean and efficient as ever.

Serves him right. Shu Yu heard a curse. She turned her head and saw the resentful voice of the ten-year-old child beside her.

His parents were a little worried. They quickly covered his mouth and whispered, Dont talk nonsense.

But this child wasnt the only one who deserved it.

Shu Yu t s hearing was good, so she could vaguely hear a few gloating voices. It seemed that Master Lan was not a good person in everyones eyes.

Everyone was happy that he was in trouble.

She even heard someone say, He only broke his leg. Why didnt he break his neck?

Shu Yu thought that if someone broke his neck and killed him, someone from above would come down to investigate. It was easy to cause more trouble.

Breaking a leg was much more difficult than breaking a neck.

Because of Master Lans accident, everyone ate exceptionally sweetly at lunch that day.

Even when they were working in the afternoon, their efficiency was much higher than usual.

The food that was distributed at night was naturally a little more than yesterday.

Madam Hou and the sixth girl were very happy. After Shu Yu returned home, she went to the foot of the mountain to collect firewood and meet Meng Yunzheng.

Sure enough, as soon as they met, Meng Yunzheng said, Ive checked. Master Lan is indeed not a good person. Recently, he wanted to leave the village to work in the county town, but he didnt have the chance, so he set his sights on the prisoners. The county magistrate of Heichang County is a lecherous person. It is said that many of the female prisoners who were exiled here were raped by her.

Shu Yu pursed her lips. It was just as she had expected.

She took a big bite of the rice ball. So Master Lan wants to give me to the county magistrate?

Yes, but he doesnt have to think about it now. None of the doctors in Heichang County could cure his leg. With his condition, he couldnt even stay in the village, let alone work in the county. Ive already bribed the next official who comes. When she comes tomorrow, tell her to change jobs. Actually

They might not be hunting.

It was still too dangerous to enter the deep mountains.

After all, I just came to Righteous Dao Village. If I change to an official, I can get something lighter to do. Others will think that 1 got it through improper means..
