FID – Chapter 451

Chapter 451: What’s Wrong With Her?

  Tell them that it wasn’t Yuzheng’s fault, that she was just a victim, so that they would accept Yuzheng without any problems?

  Tell them that chastity wasn’t greater than everything, and that in another time and place, men and women were even equal?

  To reverse their deep-rooted traditional thinking? It was impossible to do so with just a few words.

  ”Nannan, why didn’t you tell us earlier when such a big thing happened?” Chen Xiulan wiped her tears.

  ”Grandma, mother, I’m sorry.” Liu Yusheng fell silent.

  It wasn’t that she didn’t want to tell them that kind of incident, just that she couldn’t do it.

  That was Yuzheng’s wound. Even if she were the closest person to her, she could not reveal her scar and tell it as a story in front of her relatives.

  Chen Xiulan didn’t understand this truth, but she felt too uncomfortable deep inside.

  In fact, what could they do if they knew about it earlier? There was no way to change the fact that Yuzheng was hurt.

  Liu Yusheng slowly sat down at the head of the bed and reached out to caress Grandma Liu. “Grandma, don’t hold your anger. It’s bad for your health. If you’re uncomfortable in your heart, you can scold me, scold big brother, scold Feng Qingbai, or scold however you want. Don’t stay silent.”

  Since she was a child, she had never seen her grandmother so angry, lying in bed and not talking, and ignoring everyone.

  Her grandma had a cheerful temperament, and if she was unhappy, she would scold at that time. Afterward, she would be back to her normal self.

  This was the first time she had seen her hold her temper like this.

  Grandma Liu stirred on the bed. She raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and sat up. “Where are those beasts?”

  Liu Yusheng was caught off guard, and it took her a long time to realize who her grandma referred to as beasts. 

  ”They have been duly punished. Yuzheng took revenge. The Fu family’s properties were confiscated, and they were exiled. The entire family was sent into exile in a refugee camp in the northwest.”

  ”They ran too fast. If they were in front of me now, I’d chop them up with a knife! Bastards, they’re worse than dogs and pigs!”

  After two curses, her tears that had just dried welled up again. She couldn’t even wipe them all.

  ”Grandma, they’re indeed worse than dogs and pigs. You can scold them to vent your anger. They’re all wicked. You can scold them as much as you want. If you don’t relieve your anger, I’ll turn over all their ancestors down to the 18th generation. Let’s scold them one by one. It must be because their ancestors weren’t virtuous and raised such scum of the scums!” Liu Yusheng seconded, while taking out a handkerchief to wipe her grandma’s tears.

  Cursing was fine. As long as she didn’t hold her anger in, she’d be fine.

  When grandma just lay there, her lips were blue with anger.

  When Liu Yusheng helped and even dug out the ancestors, Grandma Liu’s tears gradually subsided. She wiped her swollen eyes and said, “Is Yuzheng still in the capital?”

  ”Yes, I just went to see her. She’s safe in a small alley house.”

  Grandma Liu and Chen Xiulan both fell silent for a moment, and then the grandma spoke, “Nannan, take me with you. Let’s find Yuzheng. I have something to tell her.”

  ”Grandma?”

  ”I’ll persuade her to come back. She is not much older than you, and is but a young lady. How can she be safe living outside alone? Not everyone is a good person in this world. There are many who lack virtue!”

  Grandma Liu remarked as she got out of bed and started putting her shoes on.

  ”Grandma,” Liu Yusheng quickly stopped her, “Yuzheng has something knawing at her. It’s useless for you to call her back. She will only feel more pained and embarrassed in front of her elders.”

  ”Embarrassed about what? What is there to be embarrassed about? What did she do wrong? The ones who should be embarrassed are those villains with rotten conscience!”

  ”Grandma?” Liu Yusheng blinked, a little confused, and then looked at Chen Xiulan. “Mother?”

  Things seemed to be a little different from what she imagined.

  She dared to say that her grandma and mother looked quite distressed just now.

  Chen Xiulan wiped her tears again and hummed, “In your and your brother’s heart, are we, your elders, so stubborn and inhumane? I’m also a woman and a mother. If Yuzheng’s mother in heaven were to knew that she had suffered so much, I don’t know what kind of heartache she would feel.”

  Judge others by oneself. If anyone dared to hurt her daughter like that, she would die with them.

  The mother and daughter of the Fu family dared to defile Yuzheng in such a manner, merely because she lacked a father who cherished her and a mother to back her up. 

  Wasn’t it just to ruin Yuzheng and let her live in a world where everyone would spurn her?

  They, the Liu family, were no ordinary people!

  She didn’t believe that when her family protected a weak woman, she wouldn’t be protected!

  ”Let’s go get Yuzheng back now, get our lives together, and then show that pair of bitches that they can’t get their way with their sneaky tricks!” Grandma Liu put on her shoes, exuding  menace and revived vigor. “After that, I’ll take Yuzheng with me and parade in front of them to let them see how well we’re doing and how badly they’re doing. That way, they’ll hate us, but they can’t do anything! I’m going to kill them with anger!”

  ”Grandma, Mother, you’re truly women of valor!” Liu Yusheng patted the bedboard and exclaimed.

  Her hand hurt.

  Chen Xiulan hurriedly took her hand over and blew. “Alright, why are you hitting the headboard? Look how red your palm has become!”

  Liu Yusheng smirked at his mother and grandma.

  She was happy, really happy.

  For the family’s transparency and understanding, for their boldness to break free from the shackles of the times.

  And even more for their kindness and courage.

  There were words that were too easy to say, but when it came to doing it, it really required courage.

  Her Grandma and Mother’s decision was equivalent to fighting against the world for Yuzheng’s sake.

  ”Silly girl.” Grandma Liu patted her granddaughter’s head and waved her hand. “Let’s go. Let’s go to the hall and see what your brother is planning to do.”

  Zhixia was her grandson, and she knew his disposition very well. She knew that in this matter, he would never waver. 

  They were old. How many more years could they live?

  The future days were for the young people to live on their own, but they should escort the children while they could still move. When they were gone, the children could only rely on themselves.

  The wish of the older generation was just to see the happiness and well-being of their grandchildren. What hurdles couldn’t they pass? Why bother to dwell on the past?

  Look ahead.

  As long as something could make them happy and prosper, doing anything would be worth it.

  In the hall, Grandpa Liu was a bit agitated. From time to time, he craned his neck to look out. “Why are they still not out? Is Nannan useless?”

  ”Father, wait. Maybe they will come in a while. Mother loves Nannan the most. How could she not persuade her?” said Liu Dalin.

  Their Nannan was a victory talisman.

  It was a pity that his son couldn’t compete. He hid such a big secret and made the old lady and his wife furious.

  If it wasn’t for the bitter suffering on his son’s face, he would still have gone with the impulse and beat him.

  Looking at Uncle Liu’s palm that was restless for action, Qian Wanjin also obediently shrank and didn’t say a word, lest he poke the hornet’s nest when he spoke. Wouldn’t that mean taking the beating for Zhixia?

  In times like this, only Nannan could ease the atmosphere.

  The group of masters waited in the hall with anxiety.

  ”Eh! Here they come. I told you there’s nothing Nannan can’t handle. Look at Nannan and Auntie Liu, they’re so energetic. They must be fine!” Qian Wanjin was the first to see the figure appearing outside the door, and he immediately exclaimed.
