Chapter 153: Everything in Disarray
After finishing her tidying, Chuxue was just about to step aside when, unexpectedly, Du Erya blocked her path: "Chuxue, in light of the in-law ties between our two families, I beg you to let my son go; I'll kneel to you."
Fu Yan Cheng, seeing this woman being disgusting, was about to speak out when he was stopped by a single look from Chuxue.
Chuxue swiftly sidestepped to the side: "Now you know to beg? What were you doing earlier? If everyone were like you, the Gongan Bureau would have no reason to exist. Stop trying to morally blackmail me here; if you must blame someone, blame the person who dragged you down with them."
Hearing these words, Du Erya turned her head and looked at Ge Xiulan.
She had figured it out: this Liu Chuxue was determined to disregard the kinship ties between the two families. But if it weren't for her sister-in-law painting them a big pie, her own son wouldn't have been dreaming the daydream; now that they had escaped unscathed, her son was suffering. She couldn't swallow this indignity.
She suddenly rose from the ground, picked up the stick she had thrown in the courtyard earlier, and charged straight into the room where Liu Shangan and the others were staying.
Only a clatter of banging was heard, followed by Ge Xiulan's scream: "Sister-in-law, stop! Don't smash it! Stop!"
But the crazed Du Erya wouldn't listen to her; after smashing for a while and still not feeling satisfied, she directly grabbed the scissors that had fallen on the ground and went straight for the quilts and pillows on the kang bed.
Ge Xiulan reached out to stop her, but her arm was slashed open with a deep wound.
Seeing the blood, Ge Xiulan let out an "Aow!" and didn't even call her "sister-in-law" anymore: "Du Erya, you're crazy!"
Liu Jianqiang, who had rushed in upon hearing his mother's agonized cry, saw his mother's arm covered in blood and was terribly frightened: "Mom!"
He turned and shouted behind him: "Dad, Aihua, Mom's been hurt!"
He completely forgot that his own wife was currently pregnant.
Upon hearing Liu Jianqiang's call, Qu Aihua's face instantly changed; not only did she not enter the room, she turned around, went back to her own room, packed a few clothes, and left.
To get a job for her brother-in-law, she had made the whole house chaotic; she had truly had enough.
Carrying a small bundle, she walked out the door.
The onlookers saw her and asked: "Aihua, what are you doing?"
"Auntie, this family is simply impossible to stay in. I'm still pregnant; I'll go stay at my mother's house for a few days and come back once things have calmed down."
One auntie sympathized: "That's true; staying at your mother's for a few days is good too, so you won't accidentally get bumped or knocked."
Something all the aunties knew, yet Liu Jianqiang hadn't thought of; at this very moment, her dissatisfaction had reached its peak.
Once she stepped out of the courtyard, someone said: "Tell me, do you think Qu Aihua going back to her mother's house at this time means she doesn't want to live with Jianqiang anymore?"
"That's unlikely, isn't it? She's still pregnant."
"With such an incident happening in the Liu family's main branch, there's no reputation left to speak of. Life will be hard from now on. Besides, you've all seen it; can the Ge family's situation be easily settled?"
Someone added: "They won't stop until they've stripped a layer of skin off them."
After all, the Ge family was very famous in the several villages nearby.
Seeing the main branch in a complete mess, Chuxue felt much more comfortable; this was the result she wanted.
The original owner's life; how could they possibly let it pass so easily?
This was only the beginning; they absolutely would not be allowed to sail smoothly. As for the glory and brilliance written in the book, they shouldn't even dream of it.
Du Erya was thick-headed; the Liu family was already in the wrong, and only after the persuasion of the Secretary and the Village Head did they agree to settle it with money later.
Chuxue had already cleared out everything from the Liu family before; where would they find money?
This result left every member of the Liu family with furrowed brows.
