Chapter 559 They are the murderers

"It was my fault."

Liu Mingcui raised her hand to cover her face, tears streaming down her face through her fingers.

Her voice choked as she called out to Banxia, ​​"How can a person be so disgusting? How can someone be so wicked? I've been married into the Zhao family for over twenty years. I work hard outside to earn money, and when I come home, I serve them like a maid, bearing their children. I may not have done anything special, but I've certainly put in a lot of effort. Since I married into the Zhao family, I've been supporting the eldest son's family, and I've given two-thirds of my monthly income to Zhao Ronghui for medical treatment. How can that beast not know how to be grateful at all?"

"Don't the Zhao family members have any heart? That old hag tricked me into being their slave for decades, and when I insisted on a divorce, she had Zhao Jiancheng beat me, beat me to death. She said if she crippled me, they would continue to support me, and if she killed me, they would bury me. My job at the medicinal herb warehouse went to her eldest grandson, Zhao Ronghui. They wouldn't let me leave the Zhao family with it. A-Yue shielded me, it was A-Yue who shielded me..."

She cried uncontrollably, her eyes filled with hatred and despair. By the end, tears and snot streamed down her face as she pounded her chest, unable to speak from the pain.

Li Banxia was shocked and felt a chill run down her spine. She turned her head and called out to Su Laosan.

"Go to the police station and have your uncle send someone to the Zhao family. Every single one of those people in the Zhao family is a murderer!"

Su Laosan glanced at Liu Mingcui, who had lost all her energy, sighed inwardly, and nodded. "I'm not sure if the Zhao family will come to the hospital to cause trouble, so I won't go to the police station. I'll call my uncle and be back in a bit."

Li Banxia nodded, "Go ahead."

After Su Laosan left, the nurses kept sending blood plasma to the operating room.

Liu Mingcui leaned most of her weight on Li Banxia, ​​clutching the hem of Li Banxia's clothes tightly as if grasping at a lifeline. "Banxia, ​​I originally wanted to endure it a little longer. My Yue just started talking about marriage with her boyfriend, next month is the wedding. I don't want her to be without her parents at the wedding. I wanted to wait until she went back to her parents' home before going to get the divorce certificate with Zhao Jiancheng..."

"A-Yue's boyfriend is good-looking and has a good job. He likes A-Yue, and his parents like her too. They just set a wedding date, and his parents transferred one of their houses to A-Yue. She was about to have a happy life, but now they've ruined it all. A-Yue is his biological daughter, the old lady's granddaughter! How could she say that she would hit anyone who tried to stop her? If anything happens to my A-Yue, they will be murderers..."

Li Banxia held her close, feeling the cold wind rushing into his heart.

She stroked Liu Mingcui's arm and murmured, "A-Yue will be alright, don't talk nonsense..."

"You bastard, Yue is your cousin, she's a member of the Zhao family, why did you hit her?"

A slightly older voice came from the stairwell.

Liu Mingcui sat up straight in shock and glared at him warily.

Li Banxia was influenced by her and looked over there.

The first to come up was Su Laosan. When he saw that they were all staring at this side of the corridor, he frowned, stopped and looked at the group of people who came up one after another.

Zhao Jiancheng helped Old Lady Zhao up, while Zhao Ronghui, with his hands in his pockets, looked a little pale and had a nonchalant air about him. Brother Zhao and his wife followed behind, rolling their eyes.

"...When you see her, Ronghui, you kneel down in front of her and apologize. Don't say anything else. Second brother, you go and persuade her. Family feuds shouldn't be publicized. Her son isn't married yet. If her reputation is ruined, who would want to marry her son? If she's willing to listen and come back with us, that's fine. If she's not, don't say anything more to her. Just knock her out and drag her back. As for Ayue..."

Grandma Zhao sighed, "We just cured Ronghui, but we don't have the money to treat her anymore. Second son, go call her boyfriend later. If they want her, give her to them."

"With a hole in his head like that, it would be a miracle if he survived," Zhao Ronghui scoffed.

Zhao Jiancheng frowned, opening his mouth to say something, but Old Lady Zhao slapped Zhao Ronghui, scolding him lightly, "Isn't this all your doing? You saw her blocking Liu Mingcui's way, and you even kicked her..."

Upon reaching the top of the stairs, Zhao Rong found Su Laosan blocking his way. Having just been scolded, Zhao Rong glared at him irritably, saying, "A good dog doesn't block the way, get out of the way."

"Aunt Liu, was it this bastard who kicked Zhao Yue downstairs?" Su Laosan asked Liu Mingcui.

Liu Mingcui's eyes were red with hatred, and her voice was so shrill it was almost split, "It was him, it was that beast Zhao Ronghui!"

"Okay."

Su Laosan raised his foot and kicked Zhao Ronghui in the knee.

With a loud thud, Zhao Ronghui was forced to kneel on the terrazzo floor before he could even react.

The next second, he opened his mouth to scream in agony.

Su Laosan went up and covered his mouth, grinning sinisterly, "Shut up, if you dare to make a sound, I'll kick you down the steps."

Zhao Ronghui stared wide-eyed at Su Laosan in horror.

When Zhao Jiancheng and his elder brother saw Zhao Ronghui being beaten, their expressions changed. "Who are you? What right do you have to hit my son/nephew?"

"I……"

Su Laosan grinned, "My Aunt Liu's eldest nephew."

He remembered that when he was a child, Liu Mingcui made him cotton vests, hats and gloves.

Before his mother divorced Su Youfu, she would bring them gifts every now and then to help them out.

He felt obligated to help Aunt Liu get revenge, since he was bound by the kindness of others.

Liu Mingcui was stunned for a moment, and seeing Su Laosan stand up for her, she burst into tears.

The two brothers rushed up the steps in a few strides, raising their hands to hit Su Laosan.

Su Laosan didn't hold back either, slapping Zhao Ronghui across the face, leaving five finger marks on his fair skin instantly.

"Come on, hit me once, and I'll hit him ten times back."

Su Laosan grinned, but his words carried a sinister undertone, "...I can't kill him!"

The Zhao brothers couldn't bring themselves to place their hands.

Zhao Ronghui turned his head and whimpered.

Hearing footsteps downstairs, Su Laosan released his grip as Zhao Ronghui turned his head.

Approaching were several police officers.

"We received a report that someone had intentionally committed murder. Who reported it? Where is the murderer?"

Su Laosan glanced at Liu Mingcui and said, "I reported the case on behalf of my Aunt Liu. This whole family are murderers."

Why did you call the police?

Zhao Jiancheng looked at Liu Mingcui in disbelief. "If you hadn't been looking for trouble and insisted on getting a divorce, would this have happened? Ronghui didn't kick Ayue downstairs on purpose. She was blocking you, and you accidentally kicked her. You're not ashamed, but I am! Liu Mingcui, you should tell the police that this is a family matter and withdraw the report."

"I'm not retreating!"

Liu Mingcui, supporting Li Banxia's hand, hurried over and pointed at Old Lady Zhao, saying, "I want a divorce. This old woman is instigating her son and grandson to beat me to death, saying that if I die, they'll bury me, and if I'm crippled, they'll leave me to fend for myself. My job is going to her eldest grandson!"

Grandma Zhao was startled. Seeing the hatred in Liu Mingcui's eyes, she frowned and regretted saying those words in front of her.

"this……"

Liu Mingcui then pointed at Zhao Jiancheng, "He only cares about his mother, his older brother and sister-in-law, and his nephew. When his mother said she would hit me, he grabbed a weapon and beat me. I have all these injuries, all from him and his nephew. The police can have someone come and examine my injuries!"
