Chapter 156

Liu Tong weeded and cleaned up the area in front of the two tombs. Apart from them, his parents’ tombs would never have any visitors all year round. But after all, he and Xu Ran did not live in Liu Village. On one hand, it was inconvenient of them to go back and forth, and on the other hand, they had to pass by his uncle’s house.

It would definitely be annoying if each time their tomb visit became uncomfortable because of his uncle. Liu Tong knew what kind of person his uncle and his family had been, so he could only come to pay the visit during the Spring Festival.

When the visit was done and the four of them walked back, the whole family of his uncle must be waiting for them on the road. Just the thought of the scene would make Xu Ran feel uncomfortable.

However, they had to go back.

To their surprise, they didn’t see anyone on the way back. Xu Ran looked around and found that no one was there. He let out a long sigh. It was good that no one was there. Just as people said, those who were shameless, feared nothing. Xu Ran didn’t fear tough guys, but he feared shameless guys.

Liu Tong walked in the front; the two children in the middle; Xu Ran walked at the end. Just as he touched his chest and relieved. He felt that he was being entangled by something that suddenly rushed out.

Before he could react, Liu Piao’s voice had come, “Help, someone is molesting me. Help!”

Xu Ran was shocked when he saw Liu Piao clearly and the posture of them two at the moment…

The moment Liu Piao shouted, the whole family of Liu Tong’s uncle rushed out.

Liu Tong’s uncle’s spouse pointed at Xu Ran and said, “Shameless bastard, I had been wondering why you had to pass by my door. It turns out that you were up to this, molesting the Ge’er of my family. I’m gonna beat you to death.”

Liu Tong’s uncle’s spouse said that he would beat Xu Ran, but he was just talking and his hand did not slap down.

Liu Piao hugged Xu Ran very tightly. Xu Ran took a lot of effort to break free, but before he could get up, Liu Piao caught him again.

Like Xu Ran, Liu Tong didn’t react at first. By the time he figured out what was happening, his uncle and his family had already dashing out at an incredibly fast speed. The whole thing was obviously well-planned.

Liu Tong broke Xu Ran free from his uncle’s family and pulled him up.

Before Liu Tong said anything about leaving, his uncle’s spouse grabbed him and said, “Your man molested our Liu Piao. If you don’t give me an explanation, do not even think about leaving”

He rolled up his sleeves and put his hands on the waist, looking fierce.

This was something they had planned for a long time. Last year, they had shown interests in Xu Ran, but Xu Ran didn’t come to Liu Village often, not even once a year. They had no chance at all and they couldn’t do anything in Xu Village.

The most important thing was that Liu Piao had already been engaged to someone else. His family had accepted the other family’s cash gift and said that they would have a banquet to marry Liu Piao after the Spring Festival. However, the man whom Liu Piao was engaged to was a peasant in his thirties living in the neighboring village. He was ugly and sloppy. Liu Piao himself was reluctant to marry him in any case, but his elder brother lost money because of gambling and couldn’t afford the debt, so his brother sold him for the money without getting the permission of his parents.

Liu Piao fainted when he heard the news. He didn’t agree no matter how, but his family couldn’t return the cash gift. Therefore, he could only wait to be taken away after the Spring Festival.

Liu Piao had been making scenes at home for more than half a year. Then his Daddy remembered Xu Ran. It was almost Spring Festival and he would come with Liu Tong to visit his parents’ tombs. Thus, the whole family meticulously planned this, and they meant to escalate it so that Xu Ran couldn’t turn them down in front of so many people.

However, Xu Ran hated such kind of people the worst.

Xu Ran smiled coldly. “We’re not leaving. Let’s go find the village head and ask him to give both of us an explanation.”

Then Xu Ran left pulling Liu Tong. Tangtang and Guoguo ran in front of Xu Ran cleverly.

Xu Ran knew where the village head of Liu Village lived, so he didn’t even pause.

On the other hand, Liu Tong’s uncle and his family were a little stunned. Shouldn’t they use the village head to threaten Xu Ran? Then they would ask Xu Ran to marry Liu Piao. Now, Xu Ran was even beat them to find the village head.

They didn’t know what to do.

In the end, Liu Tong’s uncle’s spouse said, “Follow him. He molested our Ge’er and acted as if he was right. I would let everyone in the village see what kind of peorson he is.”

He said it firmly, but he felt uneasy in his heart. He didn’t know why.

The village head of Liu Village was called Liu Youcai. He was somehow a scholar and had been the village head for decades.

Sitting outside the door and talking to people with barely any tobacco leaves, he saw the Xu Ran’s family coming over angrily.

Xu Ran had been to Liu Village a few times, and he had been to Xu Village as well. He knew that Xu Ran had won the title of Xiucai.

Upon seeing Xu Ran, he greeted him warmly, “Xiucai Xu, where are you going?”

Liu Youcai looked like he didn’t see Xu Ran’s darkened face at all.

Xu Ran said, “Village head Liu, unfortunately, I’m coming for you. I want you to get the justice served for me.”

Liu Youcai frowned. He guessed if someone in the village had offended him, so he asked, “Tell me what it was. I will definitely give you an explanation.”

Before Xu Ran could speak, waves of crying came over. The Ge’ers of the family of Liu Tong’s uncle were all crying. Especially Liu Tong’s uncle’s spouse and Liu Piao, who cried most badly.

Liu Tong’s uncle’s spouse cried as he said, “Village head, you have to uphold justice for our family! Our Liu Piao was molested and they even came to complain first.”

Liu Tong’s uncle’s spouse sat on the ground and hugged the village head’s leg. It was as if he would not let go of the village head if he didn’t help them.

Xu Ran stared at them coldly without saying a word, and he was just waiting for the village head’s reply.

Liu Youcai’s expression was no better than Xu Ran’s when looking at this family, full of disgust. Everyone in the village knew what kind of people this family were. It was only because of Xu Ran that Liu Youcai found the whole thing a little tricky.

He pulled his leg out and said. “Liu Dewang, do something and stop being embarrassing.”

Liu Dewang was Liu Tong’s uncle. He meant to let his spouse make the scene, so how could he do anything to stop it? When he heard the village head, he only symbolically asked his spouse to stand up. But in the end, his spouse cried even more badly.

Liu Piao’s voice was no smaller. He was only crying and didn’t say a word, as if he had really suffered a lot.

The crying also annoyed Liu Youcai.

“Alright, stop crying. What’s the use of crying? Tell me everything. If what you said is true, I will naturally give you justice. If not, then don’t blame me for not giving you mercy.”

When Liu Youcai said this, he glanced at Xu Ran from time to time. But Xu Ran was comforting his son and ignored him.

Liu Tong’s uncle’s spouse started to talk with tears. “Village head, you also know that our Ge’er Liu Piao has already been engaged to someone. Today, Liu Tong and his family came over to visit his parents’ tombs and passed by our house. As a family, I thought Liu Piao’s engagement was a joy, and they didn’t come once a year. So I invited them to stay for dinner and they agreed. But in the end… in the end…”

Liu Tong’s uncle’s spouse seemed to be unable to continue speaking. He started to cry again. After crying for a while, he continued, “In the end, we heard Piao’s scream, saying that he was molested. Our family hurriedly went out and saw that Xu Ran was hugging Piao.”

Liu Youcai glanced at Liu Piao and then at Xu Ran. He was just about to ask Xu Ran if it was true when Xu Ran said, “Let him continue.”

Liu Youcai turned his head and said to Liu Tong’s uncle’s spouse, “You continue. What happened next?”

Liu Tong’s uncle’s spouse wiped away his tears and continued, “We all saw it, and Xu Ran dares refuse to admit it. He even come to complain to you first. Village head, you have to give justice to our Piao. How can Piao marry?”

He spoke with the sorrow on his face, and Liu Piao also took the opportunity to speak, “Village head, please uphold the justice for me, please!”

Liu Piao’s eye got red for crying eyes and he looked convincing.

Liu Youcai was a little convinced. He asked Xu Ran, “Xiucai Xu, is what Liu Dewang’s family said true? If it is, you have to give our Liu Village an explanation.”

Liu Tong was just about to speak when Xu Ran took a step forward. He walked to Liu Piao and looked down at him, “Do you think you are pretty?”

Liu Piao flushed and looked up at Xu Ran. There were still tears on his face. He had pitiful and weak appearance, but he looked quite adorable.

However, Xu Ran couldn’t see these in his eyes. He only saw Liu Piao’s hateful and contemptible deeds.

Xu Ran said, “What do you think you have that is comparable to Liu Tong, so I take a fancy to you? Take a look at yourself. Even if you lay naked on my bed, I won’t give you a second look. Are you telling me how you set me up or do you want me to speak up?”

“I didn’t… I didn’t set you up. It was you. It was you who molested me. Boohoo…” Before he could say a few words, he started to cry again.
