Chapter 183: Separation!

Chen Lijuan's words stunned Sun Suqin instantly. She never thought that this country bumpkin would dare to expose her in public.

The blood all over her body instantly rushed from her feet to her head. She quickly walked up to Chen Lijuan and slapped her in the face.

Then he said angrily: "You dirty bastard, you have no right to speak here, why don't you go back to your room and look after the children!"

Chen Lijuan, who was slapped to the ground, didn't want to endure it anymore. She covered her face with her hands, staggered to her feet, and knelt down in front of Gu Changhe after a few steps.

Her eyes were red and she was trembling all over as she said, "Grandpa, I know that you are the kindest and most fair person in the entire Gu family. I beg you to save me and give me justice."

"Ever since I entered the Gu family, I've been working from dawn to dusk, doing my best to serve my parents-in-law and take care of the children. I don't dare to relax for even a moment, but my mother-in-law is still not satisfied with me."

"Whenever she's unhappy, she takes it out on me. Scolding me is the least of her worries. She often beats me, leaving me covered in bruises. Grandpa, please show me a way out. Otherwise, sooner or later, she'll beat me to death. What will Qiqi do then?"

After she finished speaking, she rolled up her sleeves and exposed her arms to Gu Changhe, crying, "Grandpa, besides the wound on my arm, I have other injuries on my body. One time, my mother got angry with someone and rushed into our room. Without saying a word, she took a cane and beat me. I...I was in so much pain that I couldn't get out of bed for three days."

"Grandpa, Xiangyu treats me very badly. He goes out drinking with his friends every day and never comes home. He drinks and gambles. When he loses, he comes back and beats me. I have thought about divorcing him countless times and then jumping into the river to die."

"But Qiqi...she's still so young. If...if she lost her mother, it would be so pitiful."

Su Mengxue was deeply moved when she heard this. She slowly walked closer and was shocked to see the crisscrossing and shocking new and old scars on her arms.

Sun Suqin actually abused her own daughter-in-law in such a way. She is really cruel and ruthless. And Gu Xiangyu is a scumbag. He really didn't learn any lesson from what happened back then.

They are really birds of a feather.

When Gu Changhe saw the scars and heard her accusations, he was furious.

Although he knew that Sun Suqin was not satisfied with Xiangyu's marriage and disliked her because she was from the country, he thought that the child was well-educated, kind and sensible, so he gave birth to the child.

Now they are finally a family, she should accept it, but she didn't expect that she would dare to play tricks behind her back.

He clenched his fingers into fists. If he hadn't found out today, he was afraid that a murder would happen in the Gu family soon!

He looked at Sun Suqin with sharp eyes and asked in a cold voice: "Since Lijuan married into our Gu family, she is a member of our Gu family. If she has been wronged, I must uphold justice for her. Tell me, what are you going to do about this matter!"

When Sun Suqin saw Gu Changhe's gloomy face, she immediately panicked.

After thinking for a while, she immediately sat down on the ground and cried to Gu Changhe, "Dad, I've been married into the Gu family for more than 30 years. Don't you know what kind of person I am? How could I do such a thing?"

"I did not agree with her when she came into the house, but then again, even if I look down on her, she is still my daughter-in-law. How could I possibly hit her?"

"It's obvious that she's dissatisfied with me and holds a grudge against me, so she deliberately created scars on her body to slander me, including when she just pleaded for Su Mengxue."

As she spoke, she raised her finger and pointed at Chen Lijuan, her eyes full of grievance as she said, "You are such a cunning girl. You would do anything to frame your mother-in-law. I hate that my love for you was in vain."

Su Mengxue glanced at Sun Suqin and sneered, "Are you saying that she deliberately created the scar on her arm in order to slander you?"

"Sun Suqin, why don't you come and take a look at these scars yourself? Many of them are old and have been there for quite some time. If she really wanted to frame you, why didn't she come forward earlier? Why did she have to wait until those scars faded and then add new ones?"

"I...how should I know? A woman as cunning as her might have done this on purpose, just to confuse you, old man, and make you think she was forced to say it."

She paused, not giving Su Mengxue a chance to speak, and continued, "If she didn't have a few tricks up her sleeve, how could a country girl like her possibly get to Xiangyu? And, she just kept saying she wanted a divorce and wanted to jump into the river. Humph! How come I've never seen that happen once?"

"I'm afraid this is another of her tricks of playing hard to get and pretending to be pitiful! Country people are so resourceful, otherwise what kind of girl from a good family would get pregnant before getting married?"

Sun Suqin's words were a double entendre, implicitly mocking both Chen Lijuan and Su Mengxue.

Of course Su Mengxue understood the implication of her words. Just as she was about to retort her, she saw Gu Yunting walk up to her and speak with a sense of oppression all over his body.

"Sister-in-law, I'm afraid you've forgotten why Xiangyu was sent to jail. It seems you haven't learned a thing in these years. I think I still have to put you in jail myself so that you can understand right from wrong and behave well in the future."

When Sun Suqin heard this, her heart trembled violently. Thinking of what happened five years ago, she widened her eyes and blurted out, "Gu Yunting, I am your sister-in-law. If you dare to treat me like this, how will your brother live in the future? How can our Gu family survive in Jiangbei?"

"I think you've been bewitched by Su Mengxue. You sent Xiangyu to jail for her back then, and now you want to do this to me. You're even harming your own people. You're truly cruel!"

After she finished speaking, she covered her heart with one hand and cried to Gu Changhe, "Dad, you see, whenever Su Mengxue comes to our house, our home is immediately disturbed. Back then, you sent Xiangyu to jail for Su Mengxue. Are you going to send me to jail for her today? If you don't like our family, we can just move out. Why do you have to discipline us like this and not give us any way out?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Changhe slammed the table and yelled at her, "Sun Suqin, have you had enough of this?"

Seeing this, Gu Yunting immediately supported Gu Changhe, helped him sit down slowly, and then patted his back to help him calm down. It was the first time for Lu Zihao to see this scene, and he hid behind Su Mengxue in fear.

Seeing the old man lose his temper, Sun Suqin immediately became timid. She lowered her head and whispered, "Dad, calm down. I was forced to do this..."

Gu Changhe interrupted with a cold face, "Alright, I'm old now, and I don't want to bother with your family's mess anymore. Since you said you want to move out, I'll divide the property between you while I'm still sober, and I'll have a few days of peace and quiet."

"Divide the family? Dad, what do you mean by that? Our Gu family's ancestors have a rule that forbids dividing the family. You can't be the first to break the rule."
