Chapter 176: Chapter 176: It’s Not Like I Didn’t Offer Benefits Chapter 176: Chapter 176: It’s Not Like I Didn’t Offer Benefits Liu Rumei pursued them from behind. Before she reached the door, she saw Liu Baixiao rushing in. Her eyes lit up instantly as she bypassed everyone else and darted towards him, tightly grabbing his collar.
“Where is Lin Changfeng? Where is Lin Changfeng? Bring him to me quickly!”
Upon hearing her demand, Liu Baixiao froze, a hint of guilt flashing across his gaze.
He had been driven out of Ya Village, how could he possibly bring Lin Changfeng? Besides, his parents hadn’t approved of his plan.
“Father, where is that useless Lin Changfeng? Mother said you would bring him with you, where on earth is he? Bring him out to take the blame for me!”
Upon seeing Liu Baixiao, Liu Qingshui clung onto the corridor pillar like a drowning man gasping at a straw in the vast sea. Regardless of the surrounding crowd, she started yelling directly at Liu Baixiao.
Liu Baixiao kept his head low and didn’t dare to utter a word.
The constable sneered at the mother and son’s conversation and took away Liu Qingshui, who still refused to let go of the pillar.
These people from the Liu Family were shameless, trying to make someone else take the blame for their crime! Did they only value their own lives, indifferent to the fate of others?
“Liu Baixiao, you’re useless! If you can’t handle this small task, what’s the point of our family raising you?” Liu Rumei pointed at Liu Baixiao, unleashing a barrage of abuse.
She helplessly watched as her son was taken away, and realized her husband remained silent the entire time.
“The Lin Family are all worthless! They’re unwilling to offer even a bit of help. If something happens to my son, I’ll deal with you heartless people! You deserve a lifetime of serfdom!”
“Enough, mother, haven’t you yelled enough?”
Finally, amidst Liu Rumei’s endless rant, a roar came from behind her.
The married couple turned in surprise to see a little boy, shorter than most, looking at them with chilling eyes, as if they owed him a chunk of flesh.
This was Liu Chushui, the outlier of the Liu Family, and Liu Rumei’s third child.
None in the Liu family were pleasant—from the old master, down to Liu Yushui. They were all sharp and bitter people. Only young Liu Chushui was a righteous person.
Liu Chushui was like a drop of clean water in a pan of boiling oil; when mixed together, they splattered, potentially leaving someone injured.
Therefore, no one in the Liu Family liked Liu Chushui, including Liu Baixiao, who considered him the least reliable.
“You little beast, who are you yelling at?”
Liu Rumei’s brow furrowed as she sharply questioned Liu Chushui.
She was already in a state of great distress, and now this little brat had the audacity to irritate her further. Could he be tired of living?
“I’m referring to you two! You can’t even raise your own son properly, and now you want to bring harm to others. Cousin Changfeng is a scholar about to take the exam for the position of a government official. Why should he take the blame for my eldest brother?”
Liu Chushui coldly stared at them, demanding an answer.
“I didn’t give them nothing for nothing, isn’t fifty taels of silver enough?” Liu Rumei retorted, defiantly raising her head.
Liu Chushui scoffed, shifting his gaze to Liu Yushui, who had just emerged from around the corner.
