Chapter 459: From Where Do You Get the Face to Make My Son Swear

~4 min read 732 words

Not far away, Uncle Liangzi's wife, who had been chatting about gossip with someone, heard these words, pushed straight forward, and started cursing loudly: "You shameless thing, how can you try to bite anyone you see? What does your rotten business have to do with my Cunyi? He ate his meal and went with his father to his grandfather's to dig a cellar. What nonsense are you spouting?"

Liu Shuqin, now disregarding everything else, said: "Call Liu Cunyi over here; ask him and it will be clear."

The Party Secretary, with sharp eyes, spotted Liu Cunyi lying on the village committee wall, had someone go fetch him, and brought him in: "Cunyi, you heard what Liu Shuqin just said; what exactly happened?"

Liu Cunyi now had sweat all over his forehead; he was terrified of saying the wrong thing and harming Liu Chuxue, thereby ruining the friendship between the two families.

Even if he was stupid, he understood he had been used; Liu Shuqin wanted to harm Liu Chuxue, but ended up suffering the consequences herself: "I don't know what she is talking about."

Liu Shuqin did not expect Liu Cunyi to deny it; instantly, fire seemed to blaze in her eyes: "Liu Cunyi, you are actually lying. Swear to heaven: if you tell a lie today, may your whole family die a bad death."

Uncle Liangzi's wife immediately reached out, grabbed her by her loose hair, and slapped her across the face: "You black-hearted, rotten-lunged, pus-oozing thing, from where do you get the face to make my son swear? What kind of thing are you?"

Liu Quanwen, seeing his daughter being hit, prepared to intervene, but was held back by Liangzi: "What do you want to do?"

The scene was chaotic for a moment.

At this time, several aunts who had been cooling off with Uncle Liangzi's wife at the main gate stepped forward: "Liu Chuxue never went to Lin Zi's place; don't slander her with blood in your mouth."

"Exactly, we can testify for her. Seeing that Cunyi wasn't there, she went straight home."

At this moment, Liu Cunyi also realized: "Yes, I did tell Liu Chuxue to go find cicada shells together, but my father said we were going to my grandfather's tonight to dig a cellar, so I couldn't go."

Uncle Liangzi's wife immediately took over the conversation: "At that time, quite a few people were cooling off outside my front gate; they can all testify that Liu Chuxue didn't go to Lin Zi's place and went straight home."

After all, that was a straight road; whether someone turned or not could be seen.

Seeing everyone helping Liu Chuxue, Liu Shuqin completely broke down: "You are all talking nonsense; I clearly saw her enter Lin Zi's place."

Village Head Deng Huaiming, his face full of impatience, turned and looked at Cheng Laizi: "Were you in Lin Zi's place? Did you see anyone else?"

Cheng Laizi did not want to complicate matters further: "No."

Then he spoke the truth: "I only met Liu Jiandong once. Not long after he left, I was knocked unconscious by someone."

After listening to their words and carefully considering the connections between them, everyone had figured out the full story of the matter, but by sheer coincidence, none of them could prove that what they said was true.

The Party Secretary did not want to beat around the bush and said directly: "Since you are not telling the truth, let's report it to the Public Security Bureau."

Hearing this, Liu Quanwen glared angrily at his daughter; by now, where was there any doubt in his mind that his own stupid daughter had also been used.

He walked up to her, squatted down, and asked in a low voice: "Tell me the truth; what exactly happened?"

Seeing his daughter dodge: "You had better tell me the truth; otherwise, I cannot protect you either. If we really report it to the Public Security Bureau, the matter will not be so simple."

In a tree not far away, Liu Chuxue took in everything happening here.

She had long since cleaned up all traces at Lin Zi's place, and before going to Uncle Liangzi's house, she had changed her shoes; there was no way to tell she had been there. Even if this matter really escalated to the Public Security Bureau, it would not lead back to her.
