A sharp-tongued woman from Hu Village pounced at Li Yu's feet and begged, "Miss, please let him go. Our entire family relies on him to earn money. If you give him to the officials, my family will have no food. Miss, you're beautiful and kind. You definitely won't watch my family starve to death. Just take it as a good deed and let them go! Please, Miss."
Li Yu watched coldly as her tears and snot flowed together. She said firmly, "No, if I'll let you go today. My family can forget about living a peaceful life in the future. Let's go. We have to report this to the authorities."
The old man walked out again and accused Li Yu shakily, "Miss, are you made of iron? So many people are begging you. Can't you be lenient?"
Li Yu was unmoved and reprimanded, "Don't stand there and talk nonsense. It's because they didn't steal from your house!"
