Chapter 317 - 317 Overnight Grudge
317 Overnight Grudge
Jiang Yue put away the silver needles and said to Liu Guixia, “Did you see that? She was just pretending. She’s not sick at all.”
When Jiang Yue said that, only then did Grandma Liu realize that she had been tricked. She cursed out loud, “You little b*stard, I’m going to tear you apart!” As she spoke, immediately pounced from her bed to the two children.
Even though he knew that Jiang Yue would be fine, Xue Yan stood in front of her subconsciously.
Jiang Yue was stunned as she looked at the thin figure in front of her.
Liu Guixia was stunned. When her mother pushed her away angrily, she immediately woke up from the facade. When she saw her mother go crazy, she subconsciously protected her two precious children in her arms like a mother hen. She even shouted back to her mother, “You liar!”
Liu Guisheng and the others were still hoping to gain some glory from Liu Guixia. They couldn’t let Grandma Liu really hit someone, so they quickly stopped Grandma Liu and pulled her back.
Liu Guisheng’s son smiled and said, “We just wanted to make up with you. We don’t have any other intentions.”
“Yes, yes.” Liu Guisheng’s wife and daughter-in-law also smiled. “You’re both mother and daughter? How can a relationship like that ever break?”
Grandma Liu could no longer keep up with the act. She pointed at Liu Guixia and waved her fist. “You are an unfilial daughter! Liu Guixia, how dare you treat someone who birthed you!”
The conflict had already erupted, but Grandma Liu still refused to soften up. Liu Guisheng’s son was so anxious that he wanted to stuff Grandma Liu’s mouth with something to shut her up.
No matter what, all they wanted was to bask in their glory. Why was she being so arrogant?
This wasn’t part of the plan!
Liu Guixia had always been soft-hearted, and she had been completely disheartened when she refused to acknowledge her parental family. Now that she was here, although she had been tricked into coming, as long as Grandma Liu lowered her ego and apologized adequately, this whole matter would probably be over. The two families could really reconcile, but what did Grandma Liu do?
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan exchanged a look. There was no need for them to say anything more.
As expected, Liu Guixia’s heart turned even colder from the burst of attitude.
Liu Guixia straightened her back and slowly turned around. At the same time, she protected the two children who were originally in her arms behind her. At the same time, she looked at Grandma Liu and said, “How am I unfilial? All I did was provide for the family. When it wasn’t enough, you kicked me out! You even sold me off for money! How can I be the unfilial one?”
Hearing this, Jiang Yue looked at Xue Yan, checking to see if what she said was true.
Xue Yan grimly nodded his head.
The laws clearly stated that if the husband’s family gave the betrothal gift, and the paternal family did not give a single dowry, it would be equivalent to selling their daughter. If she was sold, then this daughter was even more of a member of her husband’s family. In fact, she should not have a relationship with her maternal family at all.
“You sold me out,” Liu Guixia continued as she stood up.
“Yet I still called you mother. I even gifted you things every New Year. If there was anything good, I would always share it with you. I finally realize the truth when you and Guisheng drove me out for not being enough.
“Me? Unfilial? How many people can do what I did? I just wanted to have a family to return to, and I didn’t expect you to be good to me, but this? It’s definitely worse!
“Guisheng told me long ago that it was all your fault, and that I could come here again in the future. I rejected him at that time, it must have been for good reason. Are you thinking about getting rich from my family? One of you is my mother, and the other is my brother.
“You must think that I’ve been living a good life. So you want it too, don’t you? How can I be willing to share if all you do is treat me like this?!”
