Chapter 74: Villagers with Kind Hearts
"Lord Land Officer, please, give us a chance to make amends!"
"You can't just throw us out there to die…"
Ms. Hua Junior and her children threw themselves at Land Officer Yang, begging and weeping, and it made his decision all the more difficult. Sending them away would not bode well for a widow and her orphaned children in the outside world, but keeping them in the village would make it hard to explain things to the other villagers.
In the end, Land Officer Yang turned his gaze toward Ye Zi'an. However, Zi'an never met his gaze. He sighed despondently, faced the crowd, "So, what do you all think? Should we give Ms. Hua Junior and her children a chance to reform?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia scoffed, "A leopard cannot change its spots, our Yang Family's Third Branch firmly disagrees with letting them stay. If anything goes missing in our house in the future, we'll hold them accountable!"
