Free Web NovelChapter 1365: Chapter 1360: The Solution
There are footprints where he placed the money, and they’re men’s footprints!
Moreover, the chairs and tables in the cave where the money was hidden were smashed to pieces.
Presumably, in the search for money, he didn’t find it and got furious!
Mu Shuangshuang exited the cave.
Yu Liulang also searched the entire vicinity of the cave but did not find Wang Dali.
"Shuangshuang, what should we do? We can’t find him! What if Wang Dali becomes a bandit again and leads people to retaliate against Yu Family Village?"
Yu Liulang’s face was full of anxiety.
"Don’t worry, he’s injured and shouldn’t have gone far! Sixth uncle, immediately gather the men in the village and strong women, have everyone go up the mountain to search, we must catch Wang Dali!"
Mu Shuangshuang said.
Yu Liulang took several deep breaths to calm himself down.
Then went to follow Mu Shuangshuang’s instructions.
Just last night, everyone had asked about Wang Dali, conducting a large-scale activity once.
And now, within half a day, the entire village had to mobilize again.
But no one complained!
As long as Wang Dali can be found, it’s worth doing anything!
The entire afternoon, everyone in the village, conducted a carpet-style search as per Mu Shuangshuang’s instructions, unfortunately, they still couldn’t find Wang Dali.
Wang Dali seemed to have vanished!
No one knew where he went!
And no one could find him!
The faces of people in Yu Family Village were all covered in gloom, deep inside everyone’s hearts, it felt like something heavy was pressing down, making it difficult even to breathe.
With Wang Dali not found, everyone’s eyes turned to Li Juhua.
She was the instigator and the origin of all troubles!
Some rushed to Old Yu Family to demand they hand Li Juhua over.
Others even suggested directly putting Li Juhua to death.
Various voices rose and fell.
Old Mrs. Yu and Mr. Yu were also at a loss.
They wanted to hand over Li Juhua, but seeing how young Tiancai and Tian Mei were, the two elders were overwhelmed with worry!
On one hand, if Li Juhua went out, she would never return.
But if something happened to Li Juhua, the two children would lose their mother for life!
How could they bear it?
Yu Erlang knelt on the ground, crying with tears and snot streaming down his face.
"Dad, your son is unfilial, married such a woman, now causing harm to our Old Yu Family, Yu Family Village!
Shuangshuang’s painstaking efforts are all for naught! Your son is truly ashamed to meet anyone, but... please, don’t hand this woman over, no matter what, spare her life!"
Li Juhua was tightly bound and knelt on the ground as well.
She initially denied doing those things!
But once everyone concluded she was the one!
Her lies were useless, and Li Juhua finally began to plead.
"Dad, I know it’s wrong, I didn’t want to release Wang Dali, I just wanted to get some money from him and then tie him up again, I know it’s wrong, I know it’s wrong..."
Li Juhua cried desperately.
Mr. Yu became increasingly reluctant!
He turned his gaze to Mu Shuangshuang.
"Shuangshuang, this matter..."
"This is a family matter of Old Yu Family, I’m not in a position to handle it! Grandpa can decide whatever he wants!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
Mr. Yu fell into a difficult situation again!
Yu Tiancai knelt on the ground, unable to say a word.
He dared not plead, because his mother did indeed do wrong!
Yet he couldn’t say to let his mother go to the village and be handed over to those people.
"Ah, how can I explain to the villagers? So many lives, how did you let your heart be clouded by greed! Mrs. Li, you’re foolish, you’ve killed so many..."
Mr. Yu looked at Li Juhua with frustration.
Full of discomfort, full of anguish.
It’s difficult!
On one side is the villagers, on the other side is his dear grandson and son!
Should he stand by reason or stand by family, who should he choose?
"Shuangshuang, help us make a decision, please, just consider it your grandmother’s request!"
Old Mrs. Yu said to Mu Shuangshuang.
In her heart, Old Mrs. Yu still believed Mu Shuangshuang had a plan.
But Mu Shuangshuang was unwilling to speak.
"Grandma, it’s not that I don’t want to help, it’s that whatever I say would be wrong! People would resent it! Besides, Second Auntie was indeed wrong! And doesn’t seem to repent!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
"She’s already been abandoned! Yet she still clings to Old Yu Family! Even while here, she doesn’t change her ways, indulges in laziness and mischievousness!
No matter the time, such behavior is unforgivable! Now, in pursuit of money, she’s done something so outrageous!"
Mu Shuangshuang meant that Li Juhua didn’t repent, and she didn’t want to save her!
And even if she saved her, she’d risk becoming an outcast!
"Shuangshuang, as long as you give us a path, no matter what it is, no one will blame you! We won’t, Tiancai and Tian Mei, and Erlang won’t either!" Old Mrs. Yu said.
"Cousin, whatever you say, I’ll follow, I absolutely won’t blame you!" Yu Tiancai spoke beside her.
"Shuangshuang, I respect your decision, whatever you want to do, I support you!" Mu Dashan also said from the side.
Mu Shuangshuang sighed.
"Alright, I’ll say—"
"This matter is the fault of Mrs. Li! She let Wang Dali escape, that’s the root cause! So, if we want to spare her life, we must find Wang Dali!"
As soon as Mu Shuangshuang finished speaking, Li Juhua began to scream.
"Oh my, finding Wang Dali, how is that possible? It’s impossible!"
"Shut your mouth!" Mr. Yu yelled, "Listen to Shuangshuang continue!"
"Finding him is just to atone for the crime, as for how to handle it, we can only ask the village!
Whatever decision Yu Family makes, although it can be made independently, they cannot offend the villagers, otherwise, the future path for Old Yu Family people will be difficult!"
Mr. Yu nodded.
"Shuangshuang is right, that’s my dilemma! Choosing between reason and family, what should I choose! But finding Wang Dali is truly difficult, the villagers almost turned the mountain over, but still couldn’t find him!"
Mu Shuangshuang pondered for a moment before speaking: "I think, Wang Dali might have left the mountain!
Maybe...he went to the town! He’s injured and likely needs to buy medicine for treatment! And returning to the cave to take silver tael, it was possibly...to heal!"
Wang Dali was severely injured, attacked by villagers, by her, by Yu Liulang...
And knowing Wang Dali’s temperament, once he heals, he might trouble Yu Family.
She’s about to leave Qingshan Town.
Once she’s gone, it’ll be even harder for anyone to handle Wang Dali.
"Town...let’s search in the town! The whole village together, surely we can find Wang Dali!" Yu Liulang said from the side.
Mu Shuangshuang shook her head.
"No, this time, only a few people can go, and they need to be unfamiliar faces! If the snake is alerted, it will be harder to catch it!"
"Then what do we do? Aren’t we going to look?" Yu Liulang was stunned.
"You continue searching in the mountains! Every day you must go!"
