âAnd that Xiao Ailiu, I think sheâs the debauched one, blaming everything on Su Qingyue, saying that Su Qingyue canât leave men alone, that sleeping with the Xiao Familyâs men night after night isnât enough, so she had to go to the Li Familyâs man. Itâs probably she herself who canât leave men aloneâ¦â
Aunt Zhang stared indignantly at Xiao Ailiu. âYouâre the eldest sister, and you donât even care about family harmony. How much has Qingyue done for the Xiao Family? Everyone in the whole village can see that. Are you so eager to see the Xiao Family fall apart? Whatâs the advantage to you if Qingyue is in trouble? Your conscience must have been eaten by a dog!â
âI⦠Iâ¦â Xiao Ailiuâs face was pale, and she dared not speak.
Outside the courtyard, Xiao Yuchuan had beaten the three men from the Wang Family to within an inch of their lives. Holding a stick, he entered the courtyard with a gloomy face. His cold gaze fell on Xiao Ailiu. âHow do you want to die?â
Xiao Ailiu hid behind Xiao Yishan, trembling as she said, âChuan, I am your sister, and killing will cost a lifeâ¦ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIf a man canât even protect his wife, heâs useless when alive!â Xiao Yuchuanâs voice was as cold as ice. After saying this, he noticed Fourth Brotherâs shame and sadness. He frowned and explained, âFourth Brother, Iâm talking about myself. Donât take it to heart. Your legs became like this to save me. In Third Brotherâs eyes, you are the bravest.â
âThird Brotherâ¦â Xiao Qingheâs eyes were filled with emotion.
Xiao Yuchuan glared coldly at Xiao Yishan. âSecond Brother, are you still protecting this so-called big sister after all this? She came back for money; sheâs turned the house upside down so many times.â His gaze shifted to the yard. âThe dirt in the yard that you filled in days ago has been dug up again. You couldnât have been so bored as to dig it up again yourself. Even though I wasnât home, I guessed that Xiao Ailiu, this woman, would âdig for moneyâ on our property.â
âIt wasnâtâ¦â Xiao Ailiu still wanted to deny.
Yuchuan cast a glance at her hands. âLook at the mud in your ten fingernails. You couldnât even clean the mud when digging with your hands. What, do you regret taking all the hoes away when you got married? If there was a hoe at home, you wouldnât have to use your hands to dig.â
âAh, Chuan, I was wrong!â Xiao Ailiu cried loudly. âIt was my fault before, and I shouldnât have wronged Qingyueâ¦â
Xiao Yuchuan yanked her out from behind Second Brother and shoved her to the ground.
Xiao Ailiu landed on her butt and let out a miserable scream, âOuch, it hurts so bad!â
He swung the stick down, but Xiao Yishan blocked it. âThird Brother, big sister is already seriously injured, if we hit her again, sheâll die.â
âSo, the wife deserves to be bullied by her?â He looked disappointed at the second brother. âDo you know that if the wife were a little bit more thin-skinned, with such a big incident, wouldnât you be afraid she might give up hope?â
Su Qingyue slanted her mouth, she would give up hope over something like this? No way.
Xiao Yishan promised, âI wonât let big sister have the chance to bully my wife again.â Saying that, he helped Xiao Ailiu up.
She did not understand, âSecond Brother?â
Xiao Yishan supported her to the entrance of the courtyard. âThe Xiao Family doesnât have a big sister like you. Leave, and from now on, you have nothing to do with the Xiao Family. Whether itâs the life and death of the Xiao Familyâs people, or your life and death, everyone will mind their own business!â
Xiao Yuchuan went into the room, fetched Xiao Ailiuâs bundle and threw it out of the courtyard. âGet out of here, now!â
Xiao Ailiu blankly held the bundle, she had to have money to leave. She didnât dare to look at Chuan; she had to talk to Xiao Yishan. âSecond Brother, I donât have a single cent on me. You have to give me some travel expensesâ¦â
