Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

Chapter 16: A bowl of poisonous chicken soup

"Ok?"

Lu Yi’s words really surprised Lu You.

Although Lu You only lived for twenty-three years in his previous life, because he had suffered since childhood, he had long been accustomed to the ups and downs of life, and his mind was much more mature than his peers.

So when facing Lu Sanhu's family, no matter how harshly they spoke or how much they begged, Lu You would not be affected at all.

As for the so-called blood relationship mentioned by Lu Decai, it was not even within Lu You's consideration.

She was a time traveler, her body was her original one, but her personality was still that of the Lu You from the 21st century.

As for the extra memories in her mind, to her, they were more like an extra-long movie.

Although it is exciting, how can the audience possibly develop any feelings for the characters in the movie?

Not to mention the other people in the Lu family, even Lu Ming and Lu Yi in front of him would have been in trouble if they hadn't stood in front of him at the critical moment last night.

Lu You might not be as accepting in his heart as he is now.

But this is just Lu You’s own thought. For Lu Ming and Lu Yi, these are unavoidable.

In order to make his two younger brothers understand what he had done last night, Lu You originally planned to spend some time talking to them.

But I didn't expect that these two younger brothers, Lu Ming understood it immediately, and Lu Yi was even easier to do, and actually figured out the pros and cons by himself.

"The way of a gentleman should be practiced towards gentlemen, and towards villains, one should treat them in their own way!"

Repeating Lu Yi's words, Lu You felt more and more that he had underestimated his second brother.

It seems that this kid's thoughts are much more serious than I thought.

"This puts me at ease!"

Sitting on the chair, Lu You looked at his two younger brothers and said solemnly.

"We, my siblings, lost our mother when we were young, and now we have lost our father. We will have no one to rely on in the future."

"Yesterday, the guards from Mr. Qiu's family came to demand the money they owed and almost tore down my father's funeral hall."

"Lu Sanhu came to steal first at night. After I knocked him down, his family was unreasonable and wanted to take me to see the police."

"Why do they dare to be so arrogant?"

"Isn't it because you think we three siblings are helpless and easy to bully?"

Hearing Lu You's words, Lu Yi lowered his head even deeper.

"Second sister, Lu Yi knows he is wrong and is willing to be punished."

Looking at Lu Yi, Lu You remained silent, and after a long time finally revealed a smile.

The system prompt did not sound. This time Lu Yi did not have any resentment towards himself. It seemed that he really knew he was wrong.

"You all get up."

Lu You threw away the vine and said with satisfaction.

The two stood up after hearing this, but still did not dare to sit down.

Seeing the two of them so reserved, Lu You stood up helplessly.

"I'm not a man-eating tiger. You don't need to be so afraid of me."

Hearing the change in Lu You's tone, Lu Ming let out a sigh of relief.

"Second sister! If you want to reason with me in the future, you don't have to resort to violence. Look at my palms. I can't even do any work."

Upon hearing this, Lu You looked down and saw that although Lu Ming's palm was swollen, it was not a serious problem.

"If you can't work, go copy books. In two days, it's time to go to Shangpin Academy to get your work fee."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming immediately shook his head like a rattle.

"I'd better go chop wood."

As he said that, he ran to the side, picked up the hatchet, and ran out of the yard without looking back.

Looking at Lu Ming's back, Lu You felt speechless.

In this era, as long as you pass the examination to become a scholar, you can enjoy many preferential treatments.

Just like the late Luther King, when the family was divided, he was still a scholar with only one acre of land.

Just because he became a scholar, he received financial support from Mr. Qiu, who supported Lu You and the other three.

Most people don’t even have the chance to study, but the deer’s cry is different. Once they hear the sound of reading, they run faster than rabbits.

It's true that one doesn't know how to appreciate the blessings he has!

"Second sister, there is something that Lu Yi is unclear about."

Behind him, Lu Yi's respectful voice came.

Lu You turned around and saw Lu Yi looking at him with a frown.

"What's the matter? Just ask." Lu You said nonchalantly.

"Second sister, I understand that you and uncle asked for two taels of silver last night in order to let everyone see your methods and intimidate them."

"But if they were really asked to come up with these two taels of silver, it would be extremely difficult."

"Do we really want this silver?"

Looking at Lu Yi's conflicted look, Lu You shook his head helplessly.

Although Lu Yi has a very good understanding, he still has too little experience.

"Lu Yi, I just want to ask you one question. Even if we don't want the two taels of silver, will your uncle's family be grateful for it and no longer hate us?"

Lu Yi frowned when he heard this, and after a long time he shook his head slightly.

"will not!"

"That's it!" Lu You patted Lu Yi's shoulder with a smile and said, "Remember this: being kind to your enemy is the greatest cruelty to yourself."

Hearing this, Lu Yi's body shook slightly, and his tangled look turned into shock, and then gradually turned into confusion.

Lu You did not notice anything unusual about Lu Yi. He just said a few words casually and turned around and walked out of the yard.

But what she didn't know was that the "toxic chicken soup" she casually said was like a seed that sprouted in Lu Yi's heart.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yi finally came back to his senses.

"Second sister is right. Being kind to the enemy is being cruel to yourself..."

…………

Walking on the small path in the field, Lu You carefully looked at the surrounding scenery.

Although he has the complete memory of his original body, Lu You still feels happy when he sees the green mountains and clear waters with his own eyes.

Heyuan Village is not big, with only about a hundred or twenty households in total.

Although it was the slack season for farmers, there were few adults in the village except for the children playing around. I guess they all went up the mountain to find products to supplement their family income.

Occasionally, you would meet a few women in the shade of the trees, each of them doing their own work.

Everything seems so harmonious!

But Lu You also keenly observed some things.

That is, whenever they saw me, those women who were chatting animatedly would shut their mouths one by one.

Even when he greeted me, he did so with a smile, and there was no longer any teasing in my memory.

It seems that what happened last night has spread throughout the village.

Lu You was extremely satisfied with the results.

As the saying goes, one punch is enough to prevent a hundred punches from coming.

When the system detected Lu Sanhu's malicious intentions last night, Lu You decided to teach him a lesson.

The purpose is to kill the chicken to scare the monkey and shock people.

After turning a small path, Lu You finally saw the yard in his memory, which was the home of his uncle Lu Decai.

Looking at the small courtyard not far ahead, Lu You slowly stopped and did not move forward.

"Lu Sanhu!! I'm Lu You, I'm here to get the money!!"

Standing in place, Lu You shouted loudly with all his strength.

Hearing Lu You's shout, three figures walked out quickly from the courtyard, led by my aunt Qian.

Standing at the door, Qian folded her arms and sneered.

"What did I say? She doesn't care about family relationships. She's just asking for my life!"
