Chapter 485: Chapter 485: Proud and Complacent Chapter 485: Chapter 485: Proud and Complacent At that moment, Auntie Sun’s grip on Madam Xie’s neck tightened even more, making Madam Xie’s eyes roll back. Despite this, she didn’t loosen her grip at all and clung desperately to Auntie Sun’s hair, knowing that letting go would mean becoming a lamb to the slaughter.
Unfortunately, her resolve didn’t last long.
After all, she was being strangled by Auntie Sun, a vital area, and the lack of air made her vision blur. Her grip on Auntie Sun’s hair was getting looser…
It seemed that in a little while longer, Madam Xie would be dead.
Just at this critical moment, Big Bull rushed back.
As soon as he entered the front gate, he shouted loudly, “Madam, Madam, where are you?”
Just as Auntie Sun was about to succeed in her deadly intent, feeling triumphant, she suddenly heard Big Bull’s voice and trembled, inadvertently loosening her grip slightly, giving Madam Xie a chance to breathe desperately.
The spot they were standing at just blocked the entrance to the courtyard, and Big Bull, in his haste, didn’t see them as he flew inside.
“Madam, Madam, where are you?” Big Bull dashed into the main hall and upon not seeing Madam Xie, he checked each room again, still no sign of her, and was just about to run back into the courtyard when suddenly, a figure ran out from another corner of the courtyard, darting toward the entrance.
Big Bull focused and recognized the silhouette; Xuexue was right, it was indeed Aunt Sun.
Fearing Madam Xie had been harmed and unable to explain to Xuexue, Big Bull didn’t bother to chase Aunt Sun and hurried in the direction from which Aunt Sun had run.
There sat Madam Xie, her hair disheveled, rubbing her neck, gasping for breath fiercely!
“Madam, are you alright?” Big Bull approached, squatted down, and asked her.
Having barely escaped death, Madam Xie saw Big Bull and felt as if she had been reborn.
“Big Bull, luckily you returned in time, otherwise, Madam would be no more,” she said after a long while, her face filled with lingering fear.
She never dreamed that Aunt Sun would dare to harm her and even intended to take her life; that woman’s thoughts were too vicious, too terrifying
“Madam, what exactly happened? Why is she so intent on killing you?” Big Bull was very puzzled.
Farmers shouldn’t resemble wealthy families with so much hatred and scheming. What could have driven Aunt Sun to such murderous intent?
Touching her neck, Madam Xie angrily said, “It’s all because these past few days the village has been abuzz with her affair with Butcher Yu, this shameless old hag trying to pin the blame on Xuexue. This morning, just after you left, she came raging at my door, and I couldn’t stand it, so I retorted and told her to wait for your return and settle the scores with her, and that vindictive old hag dared to silence me by murder.”
These past few days, everyone in Mo Family Village had been talking about Aunt Sun having an affair; Big Bull was well aware, having seen Aunt Sun secretly meeting with Butcher Yu in town several times with Xuexue!
“This old woman has gone too far, doing such shameful deeds herself and yet venting her anger on others and even daring to kill? She’s gotten too bold.”
Big Bull’s eyes also flared with anger; there was no helping it, he was protective over his loved ones, and since Madam Xie was Xuexue’s mother, he would definitely defend her completely. Aunt Sun was just out of luck.
“Mother, Mother, where are you?” Just at that moment, Xuexue also came back, entering the door and shouting in panic.
She was genuinely frantic, afraid that the tragedies of her previous life might repeat themselves. Regretting her negligence millions of times on her way back, she shouldn’t have carelessly left her mother in danger.
“Xuexue, Xuexue, Madam is right here,” seeing Xuexue was about to enter the house, Big Bull quickly called out loudly.
