FID – Chapter 466

  Chapter 466: This Is a Mother’s Embrace

  ”What a load of nonsense!”

  ”Why am I talking nonsense? It’s because I’m so kind-hearted. Seeing that you don’t leave the door, I was worrying about you being alone and without means to even earn a living, so I felt kind enough to introduce you to someone. However, you’re so ignorant. Good for you, you’re quick to bite back! During this period, if I hadn’t bought rice and noodles for you every day, you would have starved to death in the house!”

  Fu Yuzheng snapped furiously, “You bought rice noodles for me, and I paid you extra every time for running errands. It’s not for your kindness, but this is a deal! If you fallaciously, we might as well go to the government office and see if you’re really that justified! You’re bullying a woman. Without my husband in the house and no one to rely on, you come to my door to bully me? Put away your disgusting, cunning schemes. If you dare to take your grandnephew to my door next time, I’ll directly chop him up! ” 

  The onlookers had lived in an alley for many years, so who didn’t know each other’s character well?

  After hearing Fu Yuzheng’s retort, they realized that the woman actually brought a man to the door of a single woman. Some people immediately turned towards the woman and pointed fingers at her.

  Seeing this, the woman slumped straight to the ground and directly pretended to be crying, causing a fuss about hanging herself.

  ”Aiya, my Goodness! This old lady’s good intentions were bitten by a dog, ah! How heartless! How could this b*tch slander me maliciously, my word! When did I bring my grandnephew to your house? You are a housewife who is restless, and you blame me for hooking up. You’re a restless housewife, and you blame me for hooking him up with you. God forbid ——!”

  ”Wah!” A basin of sewage was poured down on the woman’s head, cutting off her rap.

  Grandma Liu hurled the wooden basin in her hand to the ground. “Sobbing ha? Why did you stop? Continue sitting here and weep, and let me listen! What a shameless being. You bully others, but you just have to bully my granddaughter-in-law! Did you think she had no one to back her up?!”

  Liu Yusheng and Chen Xiulan were holding their foreheads in the corner and groaning.

  They knew it. Once something happened, Grandma Liu couldn’t restrain herself.

  There was no hiding it. Grandma Liu had revealed herself, so hiding was pointless.

  The two ran together and stood next to Grandma Liu. Liu Yusheng also took out a dozen coins and stuffed them into the hands of the person next door whose wooden basin Grandma Liu robbed. “We borrowed a basin of sewage from your house, thank you.”

  Chen Xiulan picked up the wooden basin on the ground and returned it. “It’s not broken. It can still be used.”

  The person who was robbed, “…”

  The spectators nearby, “…”

  The woman weeping on the ground was also stunned by this encounter. Her face was filthy and cold. When she returned to her senses, she was about to pounce on Grandma Liu, but the moment she did so, her expression drastically changed. It was because a broom began heading her way again.

  Fu Yuzheng grabbed the broom by the door and swung it toward her. “Playing the villain? Continue pretending! One slander, and I will beat you twice!”

  Grandma Liu immediately went to the courtyard to look for a weapon. “Xiulan, Nannan, grab a weapon. Let’s beat this cheapskate to death! She can whine, can’t she? Let’s beat her to the end!”

  ”You, you shrews! You’re picking on me just because I’m alone. Just wait and see!” When she saw that the three of them really started to walk toward her with stools and sticks, she turned around and fled.

  Grandma Liu gave a savage shout behind her, “How dare you talk tough? It turns out that’s all you can do!”

  After shouting, she raised a smile at the dumbfounded neighbors. “I didn’t scare you, right? Yuzheng is our granddaughter-in-law. She lives here alone and suffers a lot, so we’ve only just seen her now and rushed here. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have let her be bullied by cheapskates, hahaha!”

  ”Not frightened, we’re not!” The people around the grandma reluctantly echoed, then in a short while, everyone scattered.

  Only then did Grandma Liu put away her smiling face and pulled Fu Yuzheng, who was standing stiffly aside, back to the courtyard and closed the door with a bang.

  Fu Yuzheng’s mind went blank.

  When faced with that kind of scene just now, she could still react and fight and scold the two elders and Liu Yusheng. However, now that the woman had left, she didn’t know how to react.

  She stood there in a daze, stiff and cold.

  Grandma Liu took her hand and she just knew how to follow. She was panicking, wondering why they were there.

  There was no telling what they would say or do to her.

  Scold her or blame her?

  Since she had let the elders down by running away from the battle, she should be scolded.

  While she was lost in thought, a warm embrace suddenly enveloped her.

  On her back came a patting hand. “Silly child, it’s been hard on you.”

  Tears suddenly rushed out of her eyes rapidly, tears like rain.

  That sentence alone effortlessly crushed the strong wall she built, dissolved all her defenses, and cast out all her pain and grievances.

  This was a mother’s embrace.

  It was the haven that could accommodate all her torments.

  Liu Yusheng stood aside, silently watching this scene.

  At this moment she did not feel uncomfortable, but was filled with a sense of happiness.

  The three dressed up women, from old to young, hugged together. It was perfect.

  They were a family.

  From here on onward, they would be.

  After crying, each dried their tears. Only then did Liu Yusheng pull the three with flushed eyes and sat them down in the courtyard.

  The spring sun wasn’t strong at noon. The sunrays shone warmly down on them, and they felt very comfortable.

  The four women of varying ages sat in a circle and chatted idly.

  For some reason, Liu Yusheng found this scene amusing. It was especially like the style of Xinghua Village.

  They just sat and engaged in chitchats.

  Her grandmother and mother were also very clever, drawing in Fu Yuzheng without talking about other topics. They just talked about the courtyard layout and the two potted plants. They were about to chatter for half the day.

  They both avoided topics that would make Yuzheng feel awkward or embarrassed.

  Fu Yuzheng answered the questions of the two elders with good manners. After her reasoning returned, the kind of abnormality she exhibited earlier no longer surfaced again, but she was a little more restrained.

  It was because she was deeply ashamed, ashamed of their sincere treatment.

  After chatting for a while, Grandma Liu looked at the two rooms behind her. “Yuzheng, that room is empty, right?”

  ”It’s empty,” Fu Yuzheng replied, a little confused about the grandma’s intention.

  Liu Yusheng’s brow jumped, almost immediately guessing what her grandmother had said earlier about having a way to deal with Yuzheng.

  Sure enough, it was indeed it.

  ”Then let’s tidy it up later. I will be staying in that room.”

  Fu Yuzheng instantly went deadpan, blankly looking at Liu Yusheng.

  ”Don’t look at me. This is grandma’s decision. I can’t persuade.”

  ”…” In the entire Liu family, only Nannan was the least qualified to say this. How could she be ignorant of this?

  The womenfolk of the Liu family were treasures. Nannan was the treasure of treasures. There was none among the Liu family that she couldn’t persuade.

  It was clear that she wasn’t going to help her.

  The little girl smiled slyly at her. Even if she didn’t help, she could not help.

  ”Grandma Liu, the environment here isn’t good. The things in the house are old——” Fu Yuzheng tried to convince her.
