Chapter 183: Who Could Have Such Foresight

~4 min read 793 words

In less than half a day, the news that Liu Chuxue from Shanliang's family had found an officer as a partner spread through the village.

This made the people of the eldest branch of the Liu family even more furious.

Old Man Liu packed one pipe of dry tobacco after another, and the people in the room were as if riding on clouds and mist.

Ge Pozi was choked and coughed straight away: "Old man, smoke a little less, I'm going to be choked to death by you."

Saying this, she got up, lifted the door curtain, and hooked it onto the door: "The second son was raised for nothing. If I had known he could have such a day, there was no way I would have agreed to divide the family so easily back then."

Old Man Liu took a puff of dry tobacco and blew out several thick smoke rings: "Who could have such foresight? Who could have thought that girl Chuxue would be so fearless, actually taking the second son to the city?"

Before, he didn't feel there was anything special, but now that dead girl Chuxue has actually found an officer as a partner, it truly makes him feel like his heart is being scratched and his soul is being torn.

Such a good thing in broad daylight, and it has nothing to do with them?

He hadn't thought of pretending to pass by and joining in, but thinking of the ruthless way Chuxue treated his eldest grandson, he dared not gamble. If she went crazy again, he feared he wouldn't be able to build the relationship and would only lose more face.

Ge Xiulan could no longer hold back and ran in: "Dad, just watching the second son live in a brick-and-tile house so gloriously, we..."

She hadn't finished speaking when Old Man Liu picked up the broom by the kang head and threw it straight at her: "Get out! The family is in this state, all thanks to you. Do you still have the face to say this?"

"Get out!"

Hearing these words, Ge Xiulan truly felt ashamed, covered her face, and ran out.

How did things come to this? Her natal family has become her enemy, and every member of her husband's family takes their anger out on her. How is she supposed to live from now on?

In the room of the third branch, Su Hongjuan saw her run out from her in-laws' room: "Hmph, let you be arrogant again. The Liu family can't hold you day after day. Now it's good, the Liu family can't hold you. You deserve it."

Liu Xiaoman behind her looked very ugly: "Mom, you still have the heart to care about the eldest branch's affairs? If you have time, why not think about what we should do in the future?"

Su Hongjuan turned to look at her eldest daughter: "You don't need to worry. I've already spoken with your third aunt. When the time comes, she will help you find a good family over there."

"But I don't want to be so far away from you."

"What are you afraid of? Your third aunt treats you so well. Once you marry over there, she will take care of you. Besides, it's just the neighboring county; there's actually no difference from being in the same county. It's about as far as going to the county town. If you miss Mom, you can take a bus and get home very quickly."

"Mom is doing all this for you."

"Now the family's reputation has been ruined by the eldest branch, and it's probably already spread throughout the ten miles and eight villages. By then, the good families the matchmakers introduce will probably be nothing. It's better for us to go further away. After all, this is a matter of a lifetime. Mom certainly won't harm you. With your third aunt watching over you, there will be someone to help when things come up, and Mom can rest easier."

"And before the matter is settled, absolutely do not mention it to anyone. Do you remember?"

"I know. Mom, you just arrange it."

At this moment, Liu Ruhua ran in crying: "Mom."

She couldn't find her own mother's figure in either the kitchen or the main room, so she ran to her grandparents' room: "Grandma, where is my mom?"

Although Ge Pozi was in a bad mood, she still loved the eldest branch's granddaughter. Seeing her face covered in tears: "What's wrong? Were you bullied?"

She was still a child after all: "Grandma, they all bully me. That girl Chunxiao won't even help me. I'm really going to be angry to death."

Ge Pozi's expression changed instantly: "What exactly happened?"
