Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First!-Chapter 351 - 343

Compared to these ignorant people, Lord Lin’s life is more important!

However, Lu Dalang was still smug: "We’re very safe here, you don’t need to worry about us. Besides, who knows what schemes you have in mind!"

"I think you should give up those little tricks earlier. We’re not fools, we can see through..."

"Enough, enough! Don’t say anymore! Miss Ruan has been kind to us in the past." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Lu Dalang’s words were cut off by Aunt Lu.

However, her words made Lu Dalang’s face full of anger: "Foolish woman! Has that little favor and grace bought you already?"

"There’s no such thing as a truly good person in this world! She broke her promise in the beginning, didn’t let us expand the pig pen, isn’t that just a way to stop us from getting rich and blocking her path?"

"At first, our whole family worked hard for her to raise pigs, she spoke so nicely about it! But in the end, didn’t we just end up listening to her? Do you think this time with Lord Lin, she’s being kindhearted?"

Lu Dalang squinted his eyes, snorted coldly: "Those officials are even worse. We’ve been bullied by countless petty officials on our way here! Is there any good among them?"

"They want us to leave so they can occupy our estate, but I won’t give them what they want! Not only that, they won’t know about our expanded pig pen! After the flood is controlled, we’ll slaughter the pigs and sell them for a big profit!"

Lu Dalang seemed to vent his anger, spreading his hands and proclaiming their "victory" to those people.

However, Aunt Lu was apprehensive after hearing Ruan Mian’s words, cautiously speaking to her husband.

"Husband, are you sure the water from Linfen River won’t flood this place? I’m a bit worried about that. Perhaps we should leave as soon as..."

Before she finished speaking, Lu Dalang slapped her!

"Stupid woman! Have you been bewitched by that woman too? Our expanded pig farm is close by, and the pigs will be ready soon! If we leave, what will happen to them? Will we just leave them to fend for themselves?"

"Don’t forget where those pigs came from! If she discovers there’s an issue with them, we won’t survive in Wuheng City!"

"Besides, we’re far from the Linfen River. I’ve inquired with others, and it’s never flooded to this extent! What’s more, the rain has stopped, there’s no way there will be another flood."

"Once the flood is over, the entire Wuheng City will be a disaster area, and we’ll sell our pigs at a high price! If Wuheng can’t sell that much, we’ll go to Yu Zhou for sure high prices!"

"Once that time comes, we won’t stay in Wuheng City, away from that Ruan Family and make our own fortune! Let’s see who can manage us then!"

Lu Dalang continued speaking, immersed in his own fantasy, as if the silver was already within reach.

"If Ruan Mian knows about our private pig farm and competes with her, given her relationship with Lord Lin, she won’t tolerate us! We must seize this opportunity to earn more so we can leave comfortably."

Aunt Lu hesitated to speak, deeply furrowing her brows.

On the other side, Lord Lin was so angry that he fainted on the road.

Ruan Mian gave him some spiritual spring water, bringing him back to consciousness.

"My lord, you’ve been exhausted from your continuous efforts, you need to rest for the next two days. You don’t have to handle the disaster relief yourself."

Upon hearing this, Lord Lin quickly shook his head: "I am the appointed official of Wuheng, how can I sit idly by during such a major event?"

"Miss Ruan, what Lu Dalang said just now is unacceptable. There are still several families in the village with both elderly and children who haven’t left. If the water does rise, the consequences could be disastrous."

"Even if Lu Dalang doesn’t want to leave, I must find people to compel them..."

"My lord, everyone has their fate."

Ruan Mian reassured him: "I’ve already sent people to give them one last persuasion. If some still insist on not leaving, there’s no point in speaking further."

"Moreover, the fate of the world is in one’s own hands. Not interfering in others’ karma is also a kind of virtue."

Ruan Mian wasn’t so altruistic to speak of righteousness; since she’s given a chance, why waste time on stubborn people?

It’s better to spend the time assisting more people in need, which would be more worthwhile.

Her words left Lord Lin filled with emotions.

However, no one expected that even though the rain stopped, the flood rose faster.

Fortunately, the villagers along Linfen River Shore who could evacuated, and Huo Zong and his people noticed the unusual water level and promptly retreated to Jinsha Village.

By late afternoon, the flood had already reached the villages at the foot of Longchang Mountain.

The Lu Family, still in their dreams, was awakened by the cold river water.

By the time they reacted, the flood had already reached the bed. Aunt Lu and her family woke up in shock, panic-stricken, calling each other’s names and scrambling to run outside.

Lu Dalang’s son, not caring for his wife, children, or parents, ran faster than anyone, even scolding his father outside!

"Didn’t you say the flood wouldn’t reach us here? Now it’s all flooded! All because of you, if not, our family would have left already, how... ah..."

"Cheng’er!"

Before he could finish, he suddenly tripped over a stone, his whole body plunging into the water!

Aunt Lu grabbed Lu Dalang’s arm frantically: "Quickly! Go save your son! Cheng’er fell, he’s about to be swept away by the water!"

Lu Dalang didn’t care about any of that, violently shook off Aunt Lu, seeing his son almost submerged ahead, felt a sense of urgency.

The water level was rising fast, already reaching his waist.

Seeing there was no time to lose, he disregarded everything else, forcefully shook off Aunt Lu’s grip, and rushed on his own.

The desperate cries came from behind: "Mother, mother!!"

His daughter-in-law, with a prominent belly, moved slowly.

Tearfully reaching for her.

Watching this scene, Aunt Lu’s heart filled with resentment towards Lu Dalang, like an unending flood!

As the head of the family, he ignored others’ advice, leading his family to such harm, and now in the face of disaster, he doesn’t care for anyone.

All the hardships endured together over the years, were they all a lie?

Not even caring for the unborn child in his daughter-in-law’s belly? What’s left for her to sacrifice herself for?

Thinking of this, she decisively turned away, leaving on her own like Lu Dalang.

But the flood came too quickly, and Lu Dalang wasn’t a strong swimmer, several times he fell into the water, hoping for someone to help, yet looking around, the village was already empty.

Clearly, there were several families like them who didn’t leave, why was there no one now?
