Chapter 89
Seeing that things were unfavorable for the first branch, they wanted to retreat, but it was too late.
Liu Chuxue looked at the three families invited by Aunt Cuihong: "Uncle Liang, Uncle Baogui, Grandpa Shuanzhu, you tell me, where was I the night after my dad had an accident?"
Grandpa Shuanzhu spoke first: "Shangang's wife, I told you before, that night Xiaqiu and Chuxue came to my house to borrow money. As an aunt, don't say those things to ruin the reputation of the girl Xue. But you not only didn't listen, you even scolded me for being an old thing who meddles in other people's business."
Then Uncle Liang's wife, who followed, also spoke: "A few days ago, my mother hurt her waist and went back to her maiden home. I only heard those rumors today when I came back. Ge Xiulan, is your brain full of shit? As an elder, you spread rumors about your own niece?
That day, Xiaqiu and Chuxue not only went to Uncle Shuan's house to borrow money, but also came to my house. Our whole family can testify."
Ge Xiulan saw the way the villagers looked at her change and said angrily: "You have always been on good terms with the second branch, so naturally you will speak for her."
At this time, the little grandson of Liu Baogui's family squeezed through the crowd: "Aunt Liang didn't lie. That day, Sister Chuxue also went to my house and gave me a malt candy."
After saying this, he made a face at Ge Xiulan.
Ge Xiulan blurted out: "A malt candy bought you to speak for her. I didn't expect you, Chuxue, to have such means."
Seventh Grandpa Liu stood in the crowd and couldn't listen anymore: "Their words are not credible, what about me?"
The crowd quickly made a path for him.
Liu Shangang was completely scared now and hurriedly took a step forward: "Seventh Uncle, the juniors in the family are ignorant, sorry to trouble you to make this trip. Let's go home and talk about anything."
Seventh Grandpa Liu didn't give him face and shook off his hand: "That day, in order to raise money for Shanliang to go to the city to treat his leg, they returned to the hospital very late. I even greeted them. Your wife actually dared to create something out of nothing. What is her intention?"
Ge Xiulan looked like she had seen a ghost when she saw Seventh Grandpa Liu and couldn't help but want to retreat.
She knew how high Seventh Grandpa Liu's prestige was in the village.
Not only because his son was now a company-level cadre and his daughter married an officer, but more importantly, Seventh Grandpa Liu had been on the battlefield and killed devils. He was full of righteousness, and no one would disbelieve what he said.
At this time, the villagers who were working in the distance also gathered around, carefully asking what had happened. The faces of the first branch of the Liu family were all gray.
Liu Jianqiang, the eldest of the first branch who didn't know the inside story, stood out: "Chuxue, is there any misunderstanding in this?"
Chuxue's eyes were full of mockery: "The rumors in the village haven't been spreading for just one or two days. Why didn't you stand out and say this earlier, and now you come out to act as a good person?"
Hearing Chuxue retort, Qu Aihua, the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Liu family, couldn't take it: "Chuxue, what did your eldest cousin say that you retort to him like this?"
Chuxue didn't want Father Liu, who was waiting for news at home, to worry, so she turned to look at Ge Xiulan, who was hiding behind Liu Shangang: "Aunt, you know what you did to me. I didn't settle the score with you before because treating my dad's leg was the most important thing, and also because family shame shouldn't be made public.
But you, once you didn't succeed, you wanted to do it a second time. Then don't blame me for not caring about family affection, after all, you have no family affection for me."
The more Old Man Liu heard this, the more wrong it felt. He knew that the first branch might have hidden something from them and couldn't let things develop like this: "Chuxue, you also said that family shame shouldn't be made public. Let's go home and talk about anything."
Chuxue was not the original owner. Wanting to use the aura of an elder to suppress her was wishful thinking.
