Chapter 520: Driven Out

Someone ran to fetch the Party Branch Secretary and the Village Head.

The Party Branch Secretary, with a stern face, saw Ge Xiulan and asked: "Didn't you go with your eldest daughter-in-law to the health center to give birth? How did you come back?"

The onlookers outside also whispered in twos and threes: "Exactly, how did she come back?"

Ge Xiulan felt guilty whenever her eldest daughter-in-law was mentioned and stammered: "I was thinking childbirth is exhausting, so I wanted to come back and kill a chicken, intending to take it to the health center later to nourish Aihua."

Bai Da, the loudspeaker, was the first to speak up: "Ge Xiulan, your words sound better than a song, but with your stingy nature, who would believe you?"

Ge Xiulan, unusually, did not retort, only mumbling softly: "Believe it or not."

The reason she returned was that the doctor said Qu Aihua was having a difficult labor and asked the family whether to save the mother or the child.

Ge Xiulan shouted without a second thought: "Save the child, save the child, you must save my grandson."

Regardless of right or wrong, the moment she shouted 'save the child', Qu Aihua's maternal family received the news and rushed to the health center.

This was intolerable; Qu Dayao, Qu Aihua's eldest brother, rushed forward a few steps, pushed Ge Xiulan aside, and said to the nurse who came out to ask what was happening: "Save the mother! If anything goes wrong with the adult, I will not spare you."

The ruthless expression startled the young nurse: "K-kn-nown."

After the young nurse entered the delivery room, Qu Dayao turned and fixed his gaze on Liu Jianqiang: "My sister was truly blind to marry a good-for-nothing like you. She is risking her life to bear your child, yet what are you doing?"

Qu Dayao held back again and again, suppressing the impulse to tell his sister to 'divorce'.

Shouted at by his brother-in-law, Liu Jianqiang finally came to his senses: "Big Brother, I, I didn't..."

He could not finish, for when the wife's family arrived, he was still in shock and had not recovered; his own mother's words 'save the child' would certainly make them think he meant the same.

But he was truly wronged; he was just frightened by the news of his wife's difficult labor and was a step late: "Big Brother, you know what I am like towards Aihua. My mother's intention cannot represent mine, I swear."

Qu Dayao was now too lazy to argue with them, left no shred of courtesy for the Liu family, and directly drove Ge Xiulan out.

How could Ge Xiulan endure this? She immediately began to scold.

The entire Qu family turned to look at Liu Jianqiang, placing the pressure on him.

Liu Jianqiang understood that if he did not handle this well, whether he would have a wife in the future was uncertain.

So, with a firm attitude, he pushed his own mother out of the health center: "Mother, I am begging you as your son. Aihua's situation is special right now; please do not provoke my in-laws here. You know my brother-in-law's temper; if you truly provoke him, he will really fight with you."

Although Ge Xiulan was still furious, she also knew her eldest son was right; Qu Dayao was not someone with a good temper: "Since you look down on me, I will not stand here and block your eyes. I will leave, is that fine?"

Liu Jianqiang reached out and grabbed Ge Xiulan: "Mother, did I mean that?"

Seeing her eldest son's face change, Ge Xiulan calmed down a bit: "Fine, since I am not needed here anyway, I will return to the village first to prepare some food for your wife and then come back."

Although her eldest son had separated and lived independently, she also understood she could not take things to the extreme, for she would need them to support her in her old age in the future.

She returned home all the way cursing and grumbling, saw that the door at Ding Surong's place was open and the light was on, and wanted to go in to see if there was anything to eat to fill her stomach first; this led to the scene earlier.

Ding Surong naturally did not want the villagers to know the previous matter was related to her, so she quickly gave Liu Jiandong a look, the threatening meaning being unmistakable.
