Chapter 666 Moral Depravity
Chapter 666 Moral Depravity
What? Did your eldest son's entire family die out? You went and stole the property of an orphan and widow for your eldest son.
You yourself killed your own son, yet you're blaming your daughter-in-law and grandchildren.
An old geezer like you is destined for the deepest hell.
And you two sons, so young yet you refuse to be human, insisting on being beasts, trying to steal your own brother's property.
The worst part is that you were hiding in the back, making your mother stand up for you. That's utterly shameless.
The abacus beads are practically flying into everyone's faces; it's utterly shameless!
The old woman originally intended to be fierce and was about to jump up and give Yiren a good scolding.
He accidentally caught a glimpse of the sword she was holding in her arms and immediately became alert.
He muttered to himself, "Hmph, what's it to you? It's our family business, you outsider have no right to interfere."
Her voice wasn't loud, but Yi Ren and Shen Ruyi's hearing was much better than the average person's.
Shen Ruyi had just had enough and didn't want to listen anymore, so she retorted, "Who said we can't control this? You're trying to take advantage of someone who has no descendants."
We can file a complaint against you at the county government and send your whole family to jail.
I think you people are just tired of having a good life and don't want to live any longer.
The earth dragon has turned over! Instead of going up the mountain to find food or cut down trees to build houses, you've started bullying orphans and widows. You're really something.
People in other villages are either rebuilding their houses or trying to stockpile food. Look at you, what are you doing?
How dare you still have the mood and energy to bully people? Even if relief grain comes from above, people like you won't get a share of it from a village like yours.
Morally corrupt and utterly devoid of conscience.
Remember this, everyone: if your village receives no relief whatsoever, it is entirely due to the actions of this family.
The villagers here aren't really bad, but they're not exactly good either.
They might whisper the truth in private, but they're unwilling to lend a helping hand to the orphan and widow, simply because they don't want to offend anyone.
Of course, Shen Ruyi understood everyone's choice; it's human nature to seek advantage and avoid harm.
Look, the child is carrying the weight in front, while that useless mother just sits on the side, crying and whining.
She won't even save herself, and she won't even take care of her child, so why should outsiders take care of her?
The mother, Shen Ruyi, even took a special look at her; she had a weak and frail appearance.
The fact that she hides to the side while a minor blocks her way only shows that she doesn't love children enough; she only loves herself.
There's no other reason, it's just that I don't love you enough.
Shen Ruyi was most annoyed by these kinds of people who couldn't solve any trivial problems and just cried and whined.
She admires women who, no matter what happens, can stand up for their families and take responsibility.
People often say that mothers are strong, but since she didn't become "strong," it only proves that she doesn't love her child enough; she only loves herself.
Shen Ruyi said those words on purpose; she wanted to make this family unpopular and condemned by everyone in the village.
When it doesn't involve their own interests, everyone can be a master at mediating disputes.
They'll only step in and tear apart those despicable people when their own interests are at stake.
"What do you mean? There's still relief food up there?"
"Yes, sir, is this news true? When will the relief supplies arrive?"
"Yeah, when are you coming down?"
Everyone's attention was immediately diverted, and no one cared about the farce anymore.
"Asking this is useless. Even if relief food comes, it won't be distributed to you because your people are not honest and kind."
"For someone with children to be exploited and leave without any offspring is simply outrageous."
"Why? Just because we didn't step in to help them? That old woman Qin is a local bully, she's really difficult to deal with."
It's not that we don't want to help them, it's that we simply can't afford to mess with them; they're shameless bastards.
"That's right, it's not that we're unwilling to help, it's that we can't afford to offend that old woman Qin, she's a real tough nut to crack."
She could go to the other person's house and start hurling insults and acting like a scoundrel if she was unhappy.
Shen Ruyi sneered, "If she dares to act shamelessly, then you should hold her down and beat her to death."
Or if she comes to your house and makes a scene, if you can't beat the old woman, you can beat her son and grandson.
He hasn't been beaten enough. A few more beatings and he'll behave. People are all spoiled.
"Hey, you little slut..." The old woman pointed at Shen Ruyi and was about to start cursing.
Shen Ruyi said, "Shadow Nineteen, cut off one of her fingers so she'll learn her lesson."
People always have to pay the price for their actions.
"Yes, master."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Shadow Nineteen swiftly swung his sword, severing one of the opponent's fingers before the opponent could react.
"Ahhh, help me! Help me!"
