Chapter 74 Liu Family
At the first light of morning, Xie Xian, Xie Miao and others got on the ox cart and hit the road. East Street was no longer what it used to be. There were people selling breakfast and making soup noodles. The air was filled with hot steam and the breath of life.
When she reached the corner of the street, she was interrupted by the sound of a heated argument. In front of a red lacquered door, a woman in plain clothes and with a haggard look was being pushed by the owner of the house, seemingly arguing with someone.
"Hey! Isn't that the lady from the Liu family?" Qingdai looked at the woman in green with her eyes wide open.
The woman was about 7 or 8 years old, and she was protecting a little girl behind her, who looked about - years old. There was also a maid picking up something on the ground.
"The Pei family is really going too far." said one of the village elders.
"That's right. Liu is still a wife of the Pei family after all. As soon as Pei Dalang arrived, he drove his wife out of the house. The Pei family is really capable of doing this." An old lady next to them obviously had more say.
Seeing that passers-by were looking at her, she said indignantly, "Although the eldest son of the Pei family is gone, I am pregnant with a son. And I heard that this concubine is my mother-in-law's niece. Now that there is a successor, don't you think the eldest lady is worth it?"
"But I heard that they can bully Liu so much because there is no one left in the Liu family. She is the only one left. Isn't there someone who is eager to eat up the whole family?"
Everyone: "Oh, eating up the entire family! This is too rude."
Xie Xian's heart tightened. She had originally thought that she would make time to visit her in a few days. After all, Liu was an old acquaintance of the second branch of the Xie family. How could she bear to watch Liu being bullied like this?
I didn't expect to meet you here. It seems that Mrs. Liu can't hold on any longer.
When I got closer, I could see clearly that there were some rags and other debris on the ground. The old woman in the satin jacket said with disdain: "As a woman, if you don't have children, you are immoral. How can you still have the face to stay in the Pei family!"
An old man nearby couldn't stand it: "A harmonious family is the root of everything. How can you treat your daughter-in-law like this just because you have no children?"
"Bah! What's the point of saying a harmonious family brings prosperity? There's no point keeping this hen that doesn't lay eggs. And I already have a grandson, so what's the point of keeping this woman who only eats and does nothing?"
"What a sin!" No one expected that Old Lady Pei would be so shameless.
"Your family doesn't lack food!" The old lady who had just spoken couldn't stand it any longer. "Besides, most of your Pei family's wealth was earned by your wife. Now that Liu's eyesight is failing, you just drive her out. Aren't you afraid that she will go to the government office to sue you?"
The old woman Pei looked flustered for a moment, and then continued to curse: "Liu, please leave quickly. My Pei family has decided to divorce you." Seeing that more and more people were gathering at the door, she was afraid that someone would come to speak for Liu.
"Madam, why don't we go to the government office to file a complaint! The Pei family is committing a crime by divorcing my wife without reason." The maid Huan'er squatted on the ground, clenched the dry bundle in her hands, and wiped away her tears.
"That's not right. Liu is still the daughter-in-law of the Pei family. It would be unfilial if she sued the Pei family," an old man in the neighborhood kindly reminded.
It was precisely because of this that old lady Pei could act so unscrupulously that she even dared to drive Liu out of the house.
In this day and age, parents can ask for whatever they want from their children.
Xie Xian frowned. These laws and rules really didn't give women any chance to survive. They didn't even have basic human rights.
For a moment, everyone was overwhelmed by Liu's tragic situation and fell silent.
"Is there no other way?" Qingdai said with a somewhat unpleasant expression.
"The difficulty lies in the fact that Liu has no relatives! If there were a cousin, they would naturally be able to make the decision for her!" The village elder who spoke shook his head.
He seemed to have thought of something and said, "I heard that the Liu family and the Xie family seem to have some cousin relationship, why doesn't the Liu family ask for help?"
Liu lowered her head and said nothing, her eyes dull, and I wonder what she was thinking about.
Huan'er turned pale and fell to the ground at Liu's feet, crying, "My wife, it's all my fault. If I hadn't let them steal the secret technique because of me, we would have been able to go to the Xie family today."
Everyone was shocked! "It turns out that Liu was also going to the Xie family, but the secret technique was stolen, so naturally there was no valuable gift, and the Xie family had no reason to ask for it."
Old Lady Pei was tough and sneered, "That secret technique originally belonged to my Pei family. You still want to use my Pei family secret technique to exchange for benefits without even asking me if I agree or not!"
Xie Xian's heart moved. It turned out that the Lu family's secret records in Liu's hands were stolen. That was why Liu did not go.
Upon hearing this, Liu's face turned pale and she shook her head firmly: "This is an heirloom of my Liu family. Since you have already taken it away, I have nothing to say." She narrowed her eyes and looked at her daughter behind her, determined in her heart: "But I will take Yu'er away."
She looked calm, she had expected her secret technique to be stolen, her mother-in-law was ruthless and reckless. But she must take Huan'er and Yu'er away.
He squinted his eyes, and his vision was a little blurry. He often worked day and night, and his mother-in-law nagged him for using oil lamps at night. Later, she changed to low-quality lamp oil, and as time went by, his vision became increasingly blurry.
She knew that she was useless. What use could a blind man be? And even if the second lady of the Xie family was willing to lend a hand, what could she give?
She looked at her daughter with a pale face. She only wished to keep Yu'er with her. The Pei family could even abandon her. When Wan Jiaojiao gave birth to a son, how would Yu'er cope with it?
Xie Xian's heart moved, and after looking for a long time, she finally realized that Liu had already intended to leave, but had to hold on for the sake of her daughter.
"That won't do. Yu'er is a girl from the Pei family. How can the Pei family bloodline be left outside?" Old Mrs. Pei didn't say anything, but a woman with a better look behind the door spoke. She slightly protruded her belly and leaned out timidly.
Xie Xian narrowed her eyes slightly, as if thinking about something. It must have been like this for at least three to five months. Could she be the same Wan Jiaojiao from last time?
"Jiao Jiao'er, oh my! Why did you come out? If you are so kind, why do you still keep this money-losing thing? If it were me, I would just let her go. She is just an ungrateful person who doesn't like me anyway."
The little girl behind Liu was trembling slightly as if she was extremely scared of the two of them.
Liu hurriedly comforted Yu'er. She seemed to have made up her mind: "I will take Yu'er away if you want to truly own the "Lu Family Secret Records."
She looked around and realized that there were people from other families here. Her good mother-in-law was making such a big fuss, just to force her away in public. Once she was far away, if something unexpected happened to her, it would have nothing to do with the Pei family.
So she thought, she didn't have much time left.
When Mrs. Pei heard what she said, her face changed and she shouted sternly: "How dare you!"
A look of determination flashed across Liu's eyes as she laughed miserably, "Why wouldn't I dare?"
