Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Who are you and why are you hitting me? Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Who are you and why are you hitting me? “You—”
Seeing Liu Rumei running away, Liu Baixiao glared at her grinding his teeth, and finally had to continue running under Lu Qiubo’s chase.
“All right, Ms.Lu of Lin Family, stop causing a commotion.”
A good while later, Clan Chief Lin arrived with quite a few people, and seeing the chaos in the courtyard, he spoke up to stop it.
Lu Qiubo was tired from the beating too, and threw down his stick, angrily glaring at Liu Baixiao, who finally had a chance to catch his breath and quickly ran to Clan Chief Lin’s side, enduring the pain of his injuries.
“Chief, Chief save me. My mother wants to kill me, you can’t ignore this matter!”
Clan Chief Lin cast a cold glance at him, and huffed.
“If you were killed, it would serve you right!”
Liu Baixiao was taken aback. He thought Clan Chief Lin came to save him but didn’t expect him to speak this way.
“Ms.Lu of Lin Family, you are of a certain age. Why are you taking out your anger on this useless thing?” Clan Chief Lin looked at Lu Qiubo and asked.
“Chief, you don’t know what misdeed this cursed wretch has done.” Lu Qiubo gasped slightly with anger, his face flushed as he pointed at Liu Baixiao, who was truly infuriated.
“Grandmother, don’t be angry. The Chief is here, he will uphold justice.” Lin Caisang stepped forward to comfort Lu Qiubo.
“Chief Grandfather, my second uncle beat Chushui to the extent that he spit blood and can’t get out of bed because he broke his legs and arms. You have to do something about this. Otherwise, anyone in our village could kill their own family. If the county yamen hears about it, they’ll come after our village.”
She said this to Clan Chief Lin.
In those times, what people feared the most was not poverty or hunger, but officials knocking on the door, signaling doom.
Everyone in the Lin Clan knew that Clan Chief Lin was a person who avoided trouble. If it didn’t concern him, he would let it pass. After hearing about tonight’s incident, he would probably just scold Liu Baixiao a few times.
But that was not the result she wanted.
Sure enough, upon hearing her words, Clan Chief Lin instantly frowned and glanced at Liu Baixiao in displeasure.
“Liu Baixiao, is what she said true? Are you going to beat your son to death?” He stared wide-eyed, asking.
Liu Baixiao was stumped by his question, but he knew he couldn’t deny it and quickly shook his head.
“Chief, don’t listen to that little vixen Lin Caisang’s nonsense. How could I do such a thing? That’s my own son. I just disciplined him for doing something wrong. It was nothing serious, nothing serious at all.”
“Ha, Second Uncle, your ‘teaching’ is quite severe. If people didn’t know better, they might think you’re his stepfather. Look how you’ve beaten your own son. Are you more relieved or more angry? And Chushui is still….”
“Lin Caisang, you little good-for-nothing, are you asking for death? Say another word, believe it or not, and I will kill you!” Liu Baixiao, seeing Lin Caisang standing up to him, glared at her threateningly.
Before he could finish his rant, an unidentified big hand reached out and slapped him hard. The pain was unbearable.
“Who… who are you, why are you hitting me?” He squinted at the person who had hit him, whom he didn’t know at all.
“If you dare insult Sangsang again, believe it or not, each person in our village will give you a slap and beat you to death?” The man glared back, his gaze ten times more ferocious than Liu Baixiao’s, threatening him.
Lin Caisang was the lucky star of their Ya village, who dared to speak to her like that?
