Please continue reading on ΒOXΝVEL.ϹΟM .Mu Shi’s gaze slid across everyone until no one dared to make a sound. Then, he walked to his daughter’s side and cupped his hands at everyone. “Everyone, I am a rough and inarticulate man. However, I’m not afraid of offending anyone here since we’re in the right. The old people say that we should be lenient wherever possible. Our Mu family isn’t someone who won’t take a step back, but we also have to see if it’s worth it to retreat. If these five people sincerely admitted their mistakes, my daughter wouldn’t be so angry. My Mu family doesn’t want a grudge with Horse Head Village, but if things really come to this, my Mu family isn’t afraid either!”
Mu Shi looked straight at Black Charcoal with a knife-like gaze and said, “I’m someone who licks blood on the edge of a knife. I rely on this ruthlessness. If I’m a wolf, my daughter will be a wolf cub. Today, in front of my fellow villagers, I, Mu Shi, will say this first. Whoever bullies my wife and children while I’m not at home, you’d better hope that I die on the battlefield. Otherwise, I, Mu Shi, will fight him to the death!”
The expressions of everyone present changed drastically. Not daring to meet Mu Shi’s eyes, some of the more timid ones even took two steps back involuntarily.
Liu Ting placed his hand on Mu Shi’s shoulder and shook his head slightly at him. Only then did Mu Shi not say anything else.
Smiling, Liu Ting walked forward. He cupped his hands at the silent crowd and said with a smile, “Please forgive us, fellow villagers. My cousin is just a boorish person. He speaks a little arrogantly, but he’s a very good person. The people in the village have been interacting with my brother for half a year, so they should know him well. It is a well known fact that he treats his wife and children like treasures. Other than this, everything else is fine.”
“However, since we are all from neighboring villages, why would anyone bully my sister-in-law, niece, and nephew? Is that right?” Liu Ting continued with a smile, “Our Liu clan is in the West Village next door, just less than 45 minutes away from here. In the future, if my eldest niece does anything wrong, just come to the village to look for me. I’ll teach her a lesson.”
Liu Yuan also came back to his senses. He went forward and said with a smile, “That’s right. My uncle used to live in our village near the mountain. My aunt and I only have one son. The couple passed away early, so my uncle and father treated my cousin as their biological son. Back then, my uncle even officiated his wedding. We also treat my eldest niece as our daughter. If she offends the villagers in any way, don’t get angry. Just come to West Village to look for us. Even though you won’t be able to teach her a lesson, let us lecture her and seek justice for everyone.”
The corners of everyone’s lips twitched when they heard that. Although he was seemingly chiding Mu Shi and Mu Yangling, he was undoubtedly supporting Mu Shi and Mu Yangling. In the future, if Mu Yangling really had a conflict with the villagers, everyone would definitely have to gauge the attitude of the Liu clan in the West Village and couldn’t bully the Mu family too much. Otherwise, if they went back to mobilize reinforcements, they would be up against many members of the Liu clan. If they really fought head-on, no one would stand to gain.
The corners of Black Charcoal’s lips twitched. “Since your eldest niece is so capable, I’m afraid no one in the surrounding villages can bully her. We’ll bring these five people back first. Don’t worry, they’ll definitely take a detour when they see the Mu family in the future.”
Mu Yangling snorted coldly. Mu Shi said, “Didn’t you just say that your village also metes out its own punishments? I’m waiting.”
Seeing that Mu Shi was playing the bad guy, Liu Ting hurriedly came out to play the good guy. With a smile, he said, “Cousin, since he has already said that, he definitely won’t lie to you. However, considering they’re injured now, even if they have to punish him, they can’t do it now. I think it’s better to let them go back first. They’ve embarrassed Horse Head Village so much, so I’m sure they will be punished by them. If you’re still worried, you can just make a trip to Horse Head Village later. It’s not far from us anyway.”
Only then did Mu Shi let them go. Mu Yangling gently tapped Thief B’s arm with the tip of her foot, scaring him so much that he trembled. Smiling, Mu Yangling said, “Do you see your Big Brother’s arm? You have to tie yours up like him. Otherwise, you’ll be crippled even if you try to reattach it later. When the time comes, don’t say that I’m too ruthless. I actually held back and only broke two of your bones instead of crushing them.”
Although this was a reminder, it was also a threat. Everyone trembled in fear and hurriedly used a tree branch to stabilize their arms before leaving in a hurry. The onlookers also hurriedly took advantage of the chaos to leave. Soon, only the Liu clan was left in front of the Mu family’s door.
