The Lu Family's chaos did not end with the closure of the case. Although they accepted the punishment from the Government Office, the anger of the common people was far from subdued.
Bringing in plague-infected pigs and attempting to mix them with good meat to sell was an utterly disgraceful act, one that cut off descendants and enraged both humans and gods. In this town, even if not everyone ate meat daily, who didn't buy some occasionally? What if they bought pork from sick pigs? Eating such meat could cost lives, couldn't it?
Therefore, everyone was furious with the actions of the Lu family members and looked down upon them. They had never liked the Lu family, and now their hatred was bone-deep.
Because of this, whenever the Lu family members walked on the street, they would be cursed and pointed at, people would throw stones and rotten, stinking vegetables at them, and the youngest children were even ostracized by their peers.
