CHAPTER 139: CHAPTER 139: GO BACK AND ASK (1)

Hu Shuangcheng’s expression was extremely unnatural.

He glanced at Li Yuzhu, "You let me get up, I’ll go ask my mother."

Li Yuzhu patted her sleeves, "That’s impossible, your leg is numb, you need to sit for half an hour to get better. Conveniently, take this free time to think about the matters between you and Da Niu; she doesn’t want to go back to your house now."

Hu Shuangcheng was shocked, "She’s my wife, how can she not come home?"

Li Yuzhu shook her head, "You say she’s your wife, but have you treated her as your wife?"

Hu Shuangcheng snorted lightly, "Where haven’t I? What do you, an outsider, know?"

"Yet I know she was well-armed when she married into your family, and now that she’s leaving, one arm is broken. Explain that." Li Yuzhu looked at him and asked.

Hu Shuangcheng couldn’t answer.

"Can’t say anything? Sit here and think about it properly." Li Yuzhu turned to leave, "Third Brother, let’s go."

Li Xing’an turned the wheelbarrow around, let Li Yuzhu sit on it, and pushed her back towards Taohua River Village.

Not far ahead, at a turning point, they saw Mu Yuanxiu running towards them.

Mu Yuanxiu, who originally had a worried expression, relaxed immediately upon seeing the smiling Li Yuzhu on the cart.

"Are you all okay?" Mu Yuanxiu jogged over and asked, "I met Eldest Sister Li and Second Sister Li on the way, they said the Hu family mother and son were blocking and troubling you."

He glanced at Li Yuzhu, then at Li Xing’an.

The two looked relaxed, seeming not to have been troubled.

Li Xing’an said proudly, "How could we have any trouble? That Hu Evildoer was scared away by me, and her dumb son was knocked down by my third sister’s needle. Hmph, my third sister is amazing! She’s not afraid of even an elephant, why would she be afraid of a dumb kid? Right, Brother Mu?"

Mu Yuanxiu slightly tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, "You guys head to the Liu Family, I’ll go check on Hu Shuangcheng."

Li Xing’an nodded, "You’re familiar with the Liu Family, presumably the Hu family’s son is also familiar with you, go talk to them, we’re busy."

He waved at Mu Yuanxiu and pushed the cart away.

After they walked away, Mu Yuanxiu strode forward.

On a village-side path, Mu Yuanxiu saw Hu Shuangcheng sitting on the ground, frowning as he rubbed his leg.

Mu Yuanxiu walked over.

Hu Shuangcheng was the eldest son-in-law of Liu the bricklayer’s eldest son’s family.

Mu Yuanxiu’s grandfather and Liu the bricklayer were old friends, Mu Yuanxiu often visited the Liu Family, thus the two were acquainted.

Hu Shuangcheng saw Mu Yuanxiu coming and immediately said, "It’s Yuanxiu, come quickly look at my leg."

Mu Yuanxiu crouched down and inspected his leg.

It was merely affected by the Powder for Anesthesia.

Thinking it was Li Yuzhu’s trick, Mu Yuanxiu couldn’t help but twitch his mouth.

"You’re laughing, I can’t walk." Hu Shuangcheng complained.

Mu Yuanxiu looked at him, "You can’t walk temporarily, whereas Sister Daniu’s arm might be permanently broken."

Hu Shuangcheng said sheepishly, "Is it that severe?"

"If her arm isn’t serious, then your leg is even less serious, just sit here and wait for your leg to get better." Mu Yuanxiu couldn’t be bothered with him, stood up, and walked away.

"Hey, Yuanxiu! Come back, help me up." Hu Shuangcheng shouted to him.

Mu Yuanxiu didn’t look back, he left.

.

The Great Princess and the Second Princess ran to the Liu Family’s main house all at once.

As soon as they entered, they began to recount the encounter with the Hu family mother and son.

Liu Da Nui’s face immediately changed, feeling uneasy.

"They dare come here? Do they think there’s no one at home?" Liu Laoda angrily grabbed a hoe, "I’ll beat that wicked woman to death!"

Lady Liu pulled Liu Laoda, "Big Girl’s Father, if you strike with that hoe, the marriage is over."

"Over means over! Their family broke Big Girl’s arm, didn’t treat her like a wife, what’s the point of this marriage!" Liu Laoda jumped and cursed.

Lady Liu frowned, "What family doesn’t argue or fight? Haven’t you hit me? Did we break up?"

Liu Laoda choked, shouted, "Did I break your arm? Huh? Comparing unrelated things, can it even be compared?"

"Why can’t it be the same? We argued all these years, and back then Big Girl’s grandmother also cursed me, but I’ve never said anything. Haven’t we just lived through it all these years?" Lady Liu argued back with Liu Laoda.

"Stop arguing, Dad, Mom, stop arguing." Liu Da Nui anxiously stood between the two, trying to mediate.

But the couple was in a heated argument, neither listened to her.

"When the Hu family mother and son come, I’ll teach that wicked woman a lesson, then curse Hu Shuangcheng. I’ll make Hu Family’s woman kneel at the door and swear never to hit Big Girl again!" Lady Liu declared.

"Her swearing is useless, she also hit Big Girl last year. I slapped her in return, didn’t she hit her again this year? And broke Big Girl’s arm!" Liu Laoda yelled, "Worse every year. Next year she might break Big Girl’s leg?"

"All because Big Girl hasn’t had a child! A few years from now with children, life would improve. Hu Niangzi has only one son, the daughter-in-law hasn’t had any children after three years of marriage, of course she’s anxious." Lady Liu sighed.

"What’s there to be anxious about, you’ve been married for twenty years, have you given me a son? I cursed, I hit, have I broken your arm or your leg?" Liu Laoda shouted again.

"I had a daughter, but Big Girl didn’t even give birth to a daughter! You won’t let Big Girl go back, nor let the couple meet; are you intending for Big Girl to divorce? She can’t give birth, after divorcing, can she still marry again?"

"If she can’t get married then don’t. She can’t do anything anyway, just let her do housework at home." Liu Laoda said.

"How can you say that?" Lady Liu shouted angrily, "Aren’t you afraid of the village gossip? How many people were standing at the gate watching the joke this morning, have you forgotten?"

When Li Yuzhu and Li Xing’an arrived, they saw Liu Laoda and his wife in a heated argument.

Listening to the argument, Liu Laoda wouldn’t let his daughter go back or see the Hu family, clearly intending for her to divorce.

Lady Liu, on the other hand, wanted the Hu family to apologize, but for life to continue because Liu Da Nui couldn’t give birth, and if divorced, she couldn’t marry again.

Liu Da Nui was standing between them, not knowing how to mediate, worriedly crying.

The Great Princess and the Second Princess, never having seen such a scene of argument, were shocked, standing aside watching.

"Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, stop arguing, let me say a few words." Li Yuzhu walked in.

Seeing another outsider join, the couple finally paused their argument.

"Miss Li?" Liu Da Nui forced a smile and walked towards Li Yuzhu.

"How’s the arm? Does it still hurt today?" Li Yuzhu walked over and examined her arm.

Fortunately, the girl was careful, there were no signs of damage on the cast.

"Better than yesterday, not hurting much now." Liu Da Nui said.

"That’s good." Li Yuzhu nodded, "I want to say a few words to Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu."

"Hey, they were just arguing..." Liu Da Nui sighed.

"Miss Li is here? Come in and sit." Lady Liu moved a chair for Li Yuzhu.

Li Yuzhu waved her hand, "Aunt Liu, don’t move around, you should rest. I’ll just say a few words, don’t bother yourself."

She recounted the incident with the Hu family mother and son on the road, as well as Hu Shuangcheng’s thoughts.

"Hu Family’s eldest seems not to know Big Girl’s arm was broken by Hu Niangzi, and always thought Big Girl’s arm was twisted when doing something. That’s why he didn’t properly bandage the arm’s injury." Li Yuzhu said.

"He’s defending his mother, they’re under the same roof, how could he not know?" Liu Laoda cursed.

"What if Hu Niangzi lied?" Li Yuzhu said, "When I said the arm was broken, he looked genuinely surprised, and said he wanted to go ask for clarification."

Liu Laoda still didn’t believe Hu Shuangcheng’s words, "All nonsense, the mother and son think we’re fools! Hmph!"

Lady Liu dissatisfiedly said, "Shuangcheng said he would go ask, then wait and see what he says after asking. You’ve already concluded without him asking?"

"I’d rather believe pigs can climb trees than trust Hu Shuangcheng’s words, he’s just like his mother, a liar! Tricked Big Girl into their family, but don’t treat her as a human!" Liu Laoda angrily said.

"Weren’t you the one who agreed to the marriage initially?" Lady Liu sneered.

"Wasn’t it Big Girl’s fault? She agreed first, and you were mediating from the side, could I not agree?" Liu Laoda shouted.

"Stop arguing!" Liu Da Nui became anxious, she grabbed Li Yuzhu’s hand, "Miss Li, Shuangcheng... did he really say that?"

"Yes, I’m not lying to you." Li Yuzhu nodded seriously.
