Su Qingyue hadnât started an argument yet, but Xiao Yuchuan was already angry, âXiao Ailiu, why do you care so much? Everything we eat and use at home now is earned by my wife. She can spend it however she wants!â
âThird brother, donât you realize Iâm doing this for our familyâs sake?â Xiao Ailiu said matter-of-factly, âWhich woman doesnât help her husband earn money after marrying? Sheâs just a bought woman. No matter how much money she earns after entering our house, it belongs to us. Sheâs just a servantâ¦â
Xiao Yuchuan was trembling with rage, âXiao Ailiu, if I had my strength right now, I would beat you to death!â
âYou!â Xiao Ailiu was also furious. She could never control Chuanâs temper before, and he had never been so defiant towards her, his eldest sister, but now he stood up for that ugly woman!
She glared at Su Qingyue angrily, âItâs all your fault!â
Su Qingyue laughed indifferently, âHow is it my problem?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYou, thisâ¦â Xiao Ailiu wanted to curse, but seeing the cold expressions on her three brothersâ faces, it was clear whose side they were on. She had no choice but to swallow her anger and try to reason with Xiao Yishan, âSecond brother, youâre in charge of the family, and youâve always been stable. You should have a word with Yuchuanâ¦â
Xiao Yishan said coldly, âBig sister, our lives were saved by our wife. Without her, you might never see us again. Donât show Yueâer any more attitude!â
âFine, fine, Iâm being nosy,â Xiao Ailiu said angrily, âIâm doing this for our family, but you all donât know how to be grateful!â
Xiao Yuchuan pointed at the courtyard door, âXiao Ailiu, get out, and donât call this house your family anymore! This is not your home!â
Xiao Ailiu looked at him with a heartbroken face, âChuan, even if I have done something wrong, I am still your sister. How can you tell me to leave?â
âWhere were you when I was lying in bed for half a month or even a month?â he sneered, âI didnât ask you to come to support me. Is it so clear to you how you said you would come back to see your own brother? What did you say to the second brother when he went to find you? â
âIâ¦â She was at a loss for words.
Xiao Yishan solemnly reminded her, âYou said you were already married, and youâre not a Xiao family member anymore. Donât look for us anymore.â
After hearing this, Xiao Ailiu started crying immediately, âSecond brother, I had no choice back then! My in-laws knew our familyâs situation, and they said if I didnât sever our ties, they would give me a divorce letterâ¦â
âYou should go.â Xiao Qingheâs face was also full of coldness, âNo one in the Xiao family wants to see you.â
He had become callous to the woman who once cruelly refused to visit him, her own brother, even when his legs were broken. The past few years, the Xiao familyâs name had become synonymous with poverty, which made people afraid of being associated with their family.
For the first time, Xiao Ailiu tasted the bitterness of being driven out, and by her own younger brothers at that. She really started crying, âItâs dark outside, and Qingmu Village is still a distance from the town. I walked almost half a day to get home. How can you guys be so heartless and let me go out in the middle of the night!â
Xiao Yuchuan looked at her crying and became impatient, âNo matter how heartless we are, weâre not as heartless as you! Get out of here!â
As he said this, he reached out to push her away.
âIâm not leaving!â She simply refused to move, lying on the ground and sobbing loudly, âYou all have no conscience! Iâm your sister, after all. How can you drive me out!â
âYou said it yourself that youâre not part of the Xiao family!â Xiao Yuchuan roared, âDamn, if I werenât so weak, Iâd throw you out myself!â Speaking to Xiao Yishan, he said, âSecond brother, you do it.â
