My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

It wasn't until the villagers came down from the trees and happily greeted Lu Yinheng that Liu realized what her son had said.

She looked jealously at the large tiger that Lu Yinheng had thrown on the ground.

The tiger skin could fetch a good price at the market! And there's so much tiger meat, enough to fill you up!

How lucky he was to have killed such a big tiger.

Why didn't this good thing happen to his family?

"Big Brother, you're really something! You killed such a big tiger!" Village Chief Mu gave Lu Yinheng a thumbs up, full of praise.

Zhou Dalin and the others gathered around, all giving Lu Yinheng a thumbs-up, just like Village Chief Mu, praising him for his skill.

Lu Yinheng was about to explain that he hadn't killed the tiger.

Liu squeezed in, pouting, and said, "Now that there are no tigers, shouldn't we get going? We can't let your family's affairs delay our journey, can we?"

As she spoke, her gaze fell on the huge tiger on the ground, and then she changed the subject, saying, "If you want us to wait for you, that's not impossible, but only if you give us half of this tiger meat and compensate us for our losses."

Ji Yunshuang, carrying the little tiger, walked a little slower than Lu Yinheng. She had just arrived when she heard Liu's shameless remarks.

She immediately spat at her without any politeness, "Shameless! It was my man who was kindly leading your family on the road."

Instead of thanking my man, you tried to extort money from my family by selling tiger meat. You're a complete ingrate.

Starting today, our family will no longer be taking you on our journey. Get out of here!

Lu Wuzheng quickly chimed in, "That's right! Your family only got to where we are because of my eldest brother's protection. Not only do you not appreciate our kindness, but you also have the audacity to want half of what my eldest brother did after he killed the tiger. Who gave you the nerve to do that?"

Lu Xumu also spoke up: "Our family has long wanted to stop traveling with your bunch of ungrateful wretches, but we've only put up with it because we all come from the same village."

This is giving you face, making you think you know your place, isn't it? Get out of here, and don't you dare follow us around like this again.

Lu Zilin was young and not as eloquent as his two older brothers, so he simply spat at Liu Shi to express his anger.

Upon hearing Lu Yinheng's family's order to drive them away, Lu Bingchun and his sons panicked. If they hadn't followed Lu Yinheng, they wouldn't have known how to get out of the mountains or to Jiangzhou.

In particular, Lu Xuewen was planning to have his wife ingratiate herself with Lu Dalang and his wife, and then poison their soup when they were off guard, killing the whole family and taking their money.

If he's driven away by Lu Dalang's family, how can he carry out his plan?

He roared at Liu, "Mother, can't you just shut up for a day? What nonsense are you spouting all day long? My cousin killed that tiger, what does it have to do with you?"

Lu Bingchun also cursed, "You ignorant old woman, why don't you apologize to your nephews? My bad relationship with my nephews is all because of you, you ignorant old woman, stirring things up."

Although Lu Wuze, Lu Jinbao, Lu Yinbao, and Lu Dayou did not scold or insult their mother like their eldest brother and father, they all glared at her angrily, clearly thinking her behavior was stupid and that having such a mother was shameful.

Seeing how her husband and son, whom she had always protected, treated her like this, Liu suddenly covered her face and burst into tears.

Liu ran away crying, but her sons didn't even glance at her.

Lu Xuewen forced a smile and looked at Lu Yinheng, saying, "Cousin, my mother is short-sighted and her words are often unpleasant to hear. Don't take it to heart."

“Yes, yes, that’s all her own idea. We didn’t think that way.” Lu Bingchun echoed his son’s words, “Don’t let her ruin the relationship between our two families.”

Ji Yunshuang said disdainfully, "Are you even men?"

It's bad enough that you hide behind women and reap the benefits, but you also push all the blame onto one woman. You people are even more despicable than her.

At least Liu's badness was obvious.

But what about these people? They usually let Liu fight on the front lines and take full advantage of her. Now that they feel Liu is affecting their interests, they completely disregard family ties and kick her aside.

In her eyes, these people were like venomous snakes lurking in the shadows, both vicious and sinister.

Upon hearing Ji Yunshuang speak, Lu Bingchun said with displeasure, "What right do you, a woman, have to be so talkative? Is this the place for you to speak? Nephew, shouldn't you keep a closer eye on your woman?"

Lu Yinheng looked at him coldly and said, "My wife says exactly what I mean. Don't use your family's methods to lecture her. My wife is the mother of my child, not some object. Show her some respect. Otherwise—"

As he spoke, he crushed a wooden stick in his hand into powder.

Looking at the wood chips scattered all over the ground, and then at the disemboweled tiger on the ground, Lu Bingchun felt a chill run down his spine.

Ji Yunshuang glanced at the man a few more times.

This man was usually cold to her, but unexpectedly, he gave her a lot of face at this crucial moment.

Lu Yinheng felt inexplicably uncomfortable when he met Ji Yunshuang's gaze.

He silently told himself that this was all for the child, and he was just giving the child's mother the most basic respect.

He will find a separate opportunity to settle accounts with her for the things she did to her daughter in her past life.

He looked away and said to Lu Bingchun, "Also, I need to correct one point: there is no affection between our two families."

Lu Bingchun's face turned purple with anger. "You're such a wicked brat who has no father to teach you. You're praising a woman so highly and acting all proud of it. I wonder if your father would be so angry that he'd come back to life if he knew about this from the afterlife."

"If my father's spirit truly exists in the underworld, it's because of your anger that he's been brought back to life."

Lu Yinheng looked at him coldly, paused slightly, and said, "After all, when he was alive, he respected you in every way, but after he died, you disregarded brotherhood and continued to bully his wife and children under the guise of being an elder."

Lu Bingchun's face was ashen, his index finger trembling as he pointed at Lu Yinheng, repeatedly uttering the word "you," but without making any sense of it.

"I won't keep you on your way any longer, please take your family and continue on your journey!"

After Lu Yinheng finished speaking, he ignored him and turned to Zhou Mu and his family, saying that he needed to find a place to deal with the tiger first, and would leave after that.

If they feel it's a waste of time, they can leave first. He can tell them the route first, and then catch up with them after he's dealt with the situation.

Village Chief Mu waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Brother, you're being too polite. You led us on this road, which shortened our journey. You've also taken good care of us along the way. You're our benefactor. There's no need to talk about delays."

“Indeed, Brother Lu, you’re being too polite.” Zhou Dalin also said, “Brother Lu, tell me, where do we go to deal with this tiger? If we all work together, it won’t take long.”

The remaining people also said that they didn't need to be told the route separately, and that they would help deal with the tiger.
