Chapter 89: Directly Start Fighting

Everyone who had questions had asked them, and realizing they couldn't keep blocking the way, all stepped aside, allowing the ox cart to continue forward.

However, they hadn't gone far before someone said, "Just wait and see; the Liu family is likely in for a big row."

"The family has already split up; what's there to row about?"

"Are you stupid? The Shanliang family has returned; sooner or later they will hear the rumors about Chuxue, and they won't fail to settle the score with the eldest branch."

"To be honest, that woman Seeing Seeing Seeing Ge Xiulan is truly vicious; no matter how you look at it, Chuxue is her own niece; how could she have the heart to spread such words?"

"Indeed."

"But we can't blame her; Chuxue herself didn't hold up her end, so how can people be stopped from speaking?"

"How can you speak like that?"

"Did I say something wrong? If they kept it hidden and didn't speak, which family would want to marry a daughter-in-law like that without being miserable? In my opinion, everyone should owe a debt of gratitude to Seeing Seeing Seeing Ge Xiulan."

"That is sheer nonsense; if she can treat her own niece this way, how could she be good to anyone else? I think she is deliberately causing trouble; she has a daughter of her own, so how can her heart be so wicked?"

The Liu family of three naturally heard some of what they were saying.

Liu's mother jumped straight off the ox cart and ran directly toward the Liu house; Chuxue did not stop her.

For these past half a month, their food had been good, and with the nourishment from the space's pool water, Liu's mother's body had been well conditioned; even if she faced off against Seeing Seeing Seeing Ge Xiulan, she would not lose out.

Most importantly, they needed this excuse to make a final break with the Old Liu family.

Soon, Liu's mother entered the house, her face full of anger, and went straight to the room of the Old Liu couple.

However, she found no one there; the room was empty.

She turned around, found a stick of moderate thickness in the courtyard, and carried it out the door.

At this moment, the ox cart arrived; fearing Liu's mother might suffer, Chuxue quickly helped Liu's father into the room: "Father, rest at home; I will go out and see what is happening."

Liu's father was extremely anxious, but with his leg: "Xue, go quickly; protect your mother."

Old Quan entered at this moment carrying two small hemp sacks: "Your luggage."

Chuxue offered a word of thanks and then rushed out.

Just on the way into the room, she whispered her decision to Liu's father.

Although Liu's father's face looked very bad, he did not say anything opposing; in Chuxue's view, that meant he agreed.

By the time Chuxue caught up, Liu's mother had already found Seeing Seeing Seeing Ge Xiulan and was swinging the stick at her: "Seeing Seeing Seeing Ge Xiulan, how can you be so poisonous? How did our second branch offend you these past years that you want to harm Chuxue like this?"

Because Seeing Seeing Seeing Ge Xiulan had no defense, she took several blows to her body: "Zhao Lamei, have you gone mad?"

Liu's mother had no intention of stopping: "I have gone mad; you forced me mad. Chuxue is your own niece; with a click of your lips, you want to ruin her reputation; you are truly not human. You have a daughter too; if I treated your daughter this way, you would go mad too."

Seeing Seeing Seeing Ge Xiulan had thought of everything, but she never expected the usually good-tempered Zhao Lamei to directly strike with a stick: "Someone is being beaten to death! Oh my heavens! Liu Shanggan, are you dead? Don't you know to come over and hold back this madwoman?"

Liu Shanggan did want to step in, but there is a distinction between men and women; this was his younger brother's wife; if something happened later, people would criticize him to death.

In his panic and anger, he shouted at Liu's mother: "Zhao Lamei, stop immediately! In broad daylight, you dare to beat people? Is there no law?"

The village secretary, who had heard the commotion and rushed over from a distance, shouted at the women watching the spectacle: "Hurry up and pull them apart."

In just that short while, Seeing Seeing Seeing Ge Xiulan gained no advantage; Liu's mother had truly struck with deadly force.

Even though Seeing Seeing Seeing Ge Xiulan kept dodging, she was still hit by several sticks, causing her to grimace in pain: "Uncle Secretary, you must seek justice for me; Zhao Lamei came up with a stick and started beating people; so many people are watching; they can all testify for me."

Actually, without asking, the secretary already knew why Zhao Lamei did this: "Shanliang's wife, you speak."

Liu's mother pointed at Seeing Seeing Seeing Ge Xiulan and said: "Ask her what she has done!"

At this moment, Chuxue walked to Liu's mother's side: "Uncle Secretary, you must have heard the rumors in the village, right?"

Upon hearing this, a trace of awkwardness flashed across the secretary's face; as the secretary, he indeed bore responsibility for this matter; he should have stopped it as soon as the rumors first appeared, but at that time he truly didn't pay much attention, never expecting them to spread so wildly.

Before he could explain, he heard Chuxue continue: "Perhaps for you, my reputation is none of your business, but for me and our parents, this is a grudge that cannot be shared under the same sky."

She then looked at Seeing Seeing Seeing Ge Xiulan: "Eldest Aunt, I heard those rumors came from your mouth; what do you mean by 'I didn't return home all night'? Explain it to me; if you cannot produce a one, two, or three, don't blame me for sending you to the police station."

She spoke these words loudly, with a cold expression, clearly not joking, which immediately made Seeing Seeing Seeing Ge Xiulan panic; but since things had already reached this point, she had no choice; she must ruin this dead girl's reputation: "I didn't tell a lie; the fact that you didn't go home that night is true."
