Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Fierce Momentum
Madam Xie was suddenly pushed to the ground.
“Mother, Mother.” Chuner, seeing this, quickly stepped forward to help Madam Xie up.
“You wicked woman, why are you bullying my mother?” After helping Madam Xie up, Chuner scolded Auntie Sun.
“Bullying her? Hmph! I am teaching her a lesson, to not rush up and call any man ‘husband.’ It’s fine when it’s a kind person like me, but if it were someone else, it wouldn’t be as simple as just being pushed.” Auntie Sun spoke arrogantly, her nostrils flaring, a stark contrast to her obsequious demeanor when she brought over the sugar water earlier that evening.
“What other men? He is clearly my dad.”
Auntie Sun’s words infuriated Chuner to death. This vixen spirit was truly evil, making her mother summon her father to divorce my mother, and now, she was acting like the legal wife and lecturing my mother.
“You little wretch, your fur isn’t even fully grown yet, and you understand nothing. From the day your father divorced her, he had nothing to do with her, so she should not call him ‘husband.'” Auntie Sun said triumphantly, and then yelled at Madam Xie again, “Madam Xie, did you hear that?”
With that reminder from Auntie Sun, Madam Xie bowed her head, looking somewhat desolate, and thought, Yes! I am a woman who was divorced by her husband; indeed, I can no longer call Mo Xiaoqiang ‘husband.’
“Wife, don’t forget what we came here for, and why bother getting angry over these little things?” Mo Xiaoqiang softly tugged at Auntie Sun’s sleeve and gritted his teeth as he spoke softly.
Reminded by Mo Xiaoqiang, Auntie Sun remembered they were supposed to find Xuexue, with Butcher Yu waiting at home. If they couldn’t find Xuexue, forty taels of silver would be gone.
“Madam Xie, where is Xuexue?”
“Didn’t Xuexue go to the Mo family to see her dad?” Madam Xie looked puzzledly at Aunt Sun then turned her head to look at Mo Xiaoqiang.
Perhaps feeling guilty, Mo Xiaoqiang turned his face away, unable to meet Madam Xie’s eyes.
Auntie Sun: “Cough, cough… I am asking you if she came back just now?”
“No, Chuner and I have been waiting for her to come back for dinner.”
“Are you resenting me for pushing you earlier, deliberately deceiving us?” Auntie Sun approached Madam Xie step by step, her demeanor threatening as she asked fiercely.
“Xuexue really didn’t come back, is something wrong?” Madam Xie was extremely nervous.
“Husband, let’s go in and have a look.” Auntie Sun obviously did not believe Madam Xie’s words.
“Okay.” Mo Xiaoqiang replied, feeling guilty for framing his daughter this way, he bowed his head as he passed Madam Xie, unable to look her in the eye.
“Hey! Hey! What are you doing? Xuexue really hasn’t come back; what exactly happened?” Madam Xie followed them inside.
“Dad is really mean, now he listens to everything that vixen spirit says.” Chuner sat by the door without moving, muttering to herself.
Just then, Xuexue returned: “Chuner, why are you sitting here? It’s really cold, and you haven’t fully recovered yet, hurry and go inside.”
“Sister, you’re finally back.” Seeing Xuexue, Chuner became exceedingly cheerful.
Seeing Chuner’s pure and innocent joy, the recently distressed Xuexue felt warm inside, happy to be cared for.
“Sister, what happened to you? Why is your dress so tattered?” Chuner took a closer look and immediately became worried again at her sister’s miserable appearance.
“It’s nothing. It was just too dark, and I fell a few times.”
“Didn’t you go to see Dad? How could you just fall normally?” Chuner filled with confusion, “Right, sister, dad and that vixen spirit came looking for you. Mom said you hadn’t come back, but they didn’t believe it and insisted on searching inside. What exactly happened?”
