The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 949: Chapter 949: That Son-in-law of the Liang Family?

Shu Yu and the others quickly entered the courtyard, Young Master Jiang’s expression was grave. He immediately turned and shouted to the tenants outside who heard the commotion, ”Go to the manor and call Uncle Hu over.”

He then explained to Shu Yu, ”Uncle Hu knows medical skills, let’s have him take a look first.”

After saying this, he stepped forward to examine the man who had collapsed on the ground.

Who would have thought, just as he turned the man over, Daniu exclaimed in surprise, ”Li Xiaoshan?”

Shu Yu turned her head in astonishment, ”You know him?”

”Of course I know him. This scoundrel,” Lu Sanzhu snorted coldly, ”He’s the son-in-law of Liang Wangsheng from our village... Oh, you might not know, Liang Wangsheng’s family took him in as a live-in son-in-law, and then this...”

”I know,” Shu Yu said, ”I heard from Eldest Uncle that this man owed gambling debts and ran away with a woman.”

So, this woman is the one now held by Ying Xi.

Lu Sanzhu nodded, ”Exactly, it’s him. Who would have thought, searching high and low, and here they are. The Liang family and Wang family have been searching everywhere for them but didn’t find them. They actually hid here. Are they claiming to be husband and wife? Shameless pair.”

”It’s not surprising. They eloped without a travel permit, naturally, they couldn’t go too far.”

Shu Yu examined the wounds on Li Xiaoshan’s body; they were critical. Although he wasn’t dead yet, his breathing was already very faint.

Li Xiaoshan also seemed to hear the noise and looked up to see Daniu in front of him. He struggled, breathing heavily, to open his mouth, ”Sa... save me...”

Daniu sneered, ”I can’t save you. You caused Uncle Liang’s whole family so much suffering; this is your retribution.”

Li Xiaoshan’s tears and snot streamed down, and he coughed up several mouthfuls of blood.

Daniu turned his head away, unwilling to look at him.

Uncle Hu arrived quickly, but unfortunately, after he finished his examination, he slightly shook his head, ”It’s too late.”

Indeed, it was too late. Uncle Hu did his best to try to stop the bleeding, but barely halfway through, the man stopped breathing.

But before Li Xiaoshan died, it seemed Shu Yu saw him mouth two words.

He couldn’t actually make any sound, so she could only judge by the shape of his mouth.

While she was mulling over this, a young woman from the neighboring house suddenly said, ”Where’s Old Man Cui? Wasn’t he at home? Why hasn’t he come out?”

The other villagers were puzzled too, ”Yes, Uncle Cui hasn’t left home these past few days. How come with such a big commotion...”

Everyone had an inexplicable bad feeling. Could something have happened to Old Man Cui?

Shu Yu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, exclaiming, ”The cellar.”

”What cellar?” Lu Sanzhu asked curiously.

Shu Yu looked at Li Xiaoshan, ”Before he died, he seemed to mouth the words ’the cellar’.”

Without a word, Lu Sanzhu ran to the kitchen, ”There must be something in the cellar, I’ll go take a look.”

Shu Yu didn’t get a chance to stop him before he went in.

Sensing something was up, other villagers followed him into the kitchen.

Shu Yu got up, intending to follow and take a look, when she heard Lu Sanzhu’s terrified scream from the kitchen.

”Ah...”

Shu Yu’s face changed slightly, and she ran inside with Daniu.

Several villagers were crouched at the entrance to the cellar, each asking in response to Lu Sanzhu’s scream, ”What’s going on inside? What happened, brother, say something.”

Fearing that Lu Sanzhu might be in trouble, Shu Yu asked the people to move aside and directly descended into the cellar.
