Chapter 453: She Is a Great Menace

~7 min read 1,350 words

Liang Yu felt that everyone she hated deserved to die.

Xiangxiang finally realized that her cousin calling her to the riverside to play today was aimed at taking her life, and she immediately began to struggle desperately.

"Help! Help..."

At this moment, a disabled veteran happened to pass by the roadside; seeing two little girls fall into the water, he jumped into the river without a second thought, intending to save them.

Liang Yu had not expected anyone to suddenly meddle in her business.

As the man swam over to save them, she hurriedly splashed about in the water calling for help, and used her own body to block Xiangxiang, grabbing onto the man tightly.

When they were about to reach the shore, she looked back; Xiangxiang had finally sunk.

A crowd had already gathered on the bank, and the veteran put Liang Yu on the ground and turned to continue saving the other girl.

Liang Yu pulled on him, "Uncle, I'm scared..."

"Don't be afraid, your sister is still in the water," the veteran returned to the river anyway and brought Xiangxiang up.

Soon, the ambulance arrived, and both were taken to the hospital for emergency treatment.

The first thing Miao Hong did after arriving at the hospital was to kowtow to the veteran with her husband.

After Liang Yu woke up, she began to cry, calling Xiangxiang's name over and over.

She opened her eyes to see Miao Hong staring at her with a complex expression, "Aunt, how is Xiangxiang?"

Miao Hong stood up, walked over to her, and slapped her hard across the face.

"If it weren't for you, how could my Xiangxiang have fallen into the water?"

Her Xiangxiang was the most well-behaved and sensible, yet now she might lie in bed for the rest of her life without ever waking up.

"The one who shouldn't be able to wake up should be you," Miao Hong said, her emotions highly agitated, "I shouldn't have taken you in, letting you wreak havoc on my Xiangxiang."

Unable to control herself, she stepped forward and grabbed Liang Yu by the throat, "What did our family ever do to wrong you? Huh? I, your cousin-aunt, provided your food and drink, let you go to school just like my own children, and we didn't even make a scene when you stole our money."

"People told me long ago that you were born a bad seed; it was me, I was stupid, thinking you were just a child... I am the one who harmed my Xiangxiang..."

"Cough," Liang Yu's eyes rolled back from the choking, and she began to call for help, "Save, save me..."

A nurse heard the commotion and quickly came over to stop the farce, "What are you doing?"

"She harmed my daughter..."

The nurse had some understanding of their drowning incident and expressed sympathy to Miao Hong, "Sister, please calm down first; this is a hospital."

Miao Hong narrowed her eyes as she looked at Liang Yu on the bed, "Don't ever come to my house again; I won't look after you anymore. You're on your own."

Xiangxiang couldn't swim; she wouldn't have gone into the river on her own unless someone had incited or even threatened her.

This Liang Yu was truly a bad seed by nature.

According to a relative in Yunchuan City, after her foster parents died, this Liang Yu had lived in three other relatives' homes.

Everything was fine at first, but before she left, incidents large and small had occurred in those relatives' homes.

For instance, at the last uncle's house where she lived in Yunchuan, the house caught fire, and her uncle was almost burned to death.

In any case, whether these were rumors or some other messy business, she would no longer care about Liang Yu.

Liang Yu slowly curled her lips and silently mouthed three words.

They were profanities.

And Miao Hong understood, so she turned back like a madwoman and frantically slapped Liang Yu's face.

"If Xiangxiang can wake up, that's one thing, but if she really has any mishap, I will never let you off!"

Several nurses ran over to pull Miao Hong away, while Liang Yu was still smiling, "Is that so? Cousin-aunt, do you know? Every night when you are asleep, Uncle comes to my bed."

This sentence was like a bomb, instantly silencing everyone in the entire ward.

The nurses had originally felt that the child who hadn't woken up yet was quite pitiful, but now they felt it was hard to say.

As for Miao Hong, her psychological defenses completely collapsed.

Her daughter's life hung in the balance, and now her honest husband had betrayed her.

"So, the money I stole from you was what you deserved!"

Liang Yu looked at Miao Hong's breakdown and helplessness like a victor.

Since they were going to drive her away, she would definitely turn this family upside down.

A home should be lively and bustling.

Any harmony or happiness made her feel awkward and uncomfortable.

As soon as Miao Hong returned home, she got into a fight with her husband, "You're not human! Wuwu, you're not human..."

The man was confused, "Is Xiangxiang... dead?"

Otherwise, how could his usually gentle wife suddenly become like this?

"You're the one who's dead! My Xiangxiang will definitely wake up just fine," Miao Hong tore at and beat him repeatedly, "You shameless thing, you could even lay a hand on such a young girl; I'm not living with you anymore, I want a divorce!"

"What on earth are you talking about?" The man grabbed her by both arms, "Can you speak clearly? How am I shameless?"

"You went to Liang Yu's bed at night? Don't you know what you did yourself? You call that having shame?"

"Why am I so unlucky to have married a beast like you!"

The man looked dazed, "When did I ever go to her bed in the middle of the night? Has your brain gone bad?"

"I'm not afraid of you overthinking it; I just find that girl annoying. Every time her eyes roll, she's plotting something; she doesn't look like a good girl at all! Why would I go to her bed in the middle of the night? She doesn't even wash her feet every night; am I that unhygienic? Did she tell you that?"

Miao Hong had lived with her husband for a long time after all, and his confidence didn't seem like he was lying.

Could it be that Liang Yu was spouting nonsense?

"Liang Yu said, every night when I'm asleep, you go to her bed..."

The man held his head in his hands, his eyes wide, but the expression on his face was one of extreme disgust.

"So you just believed her? Oh my god!"

"Isn't it enough that she harmed our Xiangxiang like this? She actually had to say these things to you?"

"You should use your brain and think; she sleeps in the same room as Xiangxiang. How shameless would I have to be to sneak into her bed at night? I'm already tired enough selling wontons all day, and at night I have to watch the money box, worrying she might steal from it. Where would I find the energy for such crooked thoughts?"

Miao Hong finally reacted, hugging her husband and sobbing.

"How could she be such a great disaster!"

If not for the trust between her and her husband, she surely would have been driven apart by Liang Yu.

That's right, her husband has to watch the money box at night; he is a miser, and with the money box there, it is impossible for him to have any other thoughts.

"I have already made it clear to her that she is not allowed to stay at our house anymore; from now on, she can go wherever she wants."

Liang Yu was fine, so she discharged herself from the hospital.

She hoped the bomb she left for Miao Hong would be enough to keep the couple bickering for a while.

She certainly wasn't just spouting nonsense.
