Chapter 18 Fighting

"Why are you kids butting in on the elders' business?" Liu Laohei glared at Lin Xiangnan and quickly said to Hu Meili, "Let's go home and talk about it. Don't make fun of us outside."

Hu Meili shook off Liu Laohei's hand and said, "A joke? I have been a joke for a long time. Tomorrow, not only will the people in the hospital laugh at me, but the people in the factory will laugh at me too."

"This is Hongying's fault. You can go back and beat her or scold her. If you don't do it, I will do it for you." Liu Laohei bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"You know the rules of propriety, righteousness, and honor, but Hongying may not know them."

Hu Meili sneered and continued to argue in front of everyone, "Everyone in the courtyard knows that our Xiaonan has high standards and doesn't like that Zhao guy at all. It's that Zhao guy who is pestering our Xiaonan. So, this Zhao guy is pursuing our Xiaonan openly, but is secretly dating Hongying? Anyway, I don't believe this."

Her words really stripped Liu Hongying of her true colors. She was just short of saying that Liu Hongying had deliberately used underhanded tactics to steal the man.

Liu Hongying took a risky move and Lin Xiangnan played a big role in it.

But although Lin Xiangnan put pressure on her, he could not influence Liu Hongying's own choice.

Since things have developed to this point, Lin Xiangnan couldn't help but indignantly say a few words, "Mom, Liu Hongying is really too bullying. She also did such immoral things. Anyway, I can't be sisters with her."

"That's right. It's too bullying. Xiaonan is a soft persimmon, but Hu Meili is not someone who can be bullied easily."

"Tsk tsk, this Liu Hongying is really capable. The Liu family is going to be in big trouble."

The onlookers who were watching the fun pointed fingers at Liu Hongying.

Liu Hongying lowered her head and pretended to be pitiful and didn't say anything, but Liu Laohei didn't have that much concentration and quickly said, "It's so late, everyone should go back to bed. They are just two young people dating, you guys should stop watching the fun."

After seeing everything that needed to be seen, the people in the yard looked at each other, then went back to their own rooms laughing.

Liu Laohei glanced at Zhao Qi and arranged: "So many people have seen what happened between you and Hongying. Ask your parents to come over tomorrow to discuss the marriage. I am busy at home today, so I will not keep you."

It takes two to tango. Liu Hongying was wrong, but Zhao Qi is not a good person either.

Hu Meili cursed: "Still want to discuss? What the hell. Such a filthy person should be sent to labor camp..."

Zhao Qi didn't dare to refute and fled amid Hu Meili's scolding.

Only after all the outsiders had left and the family had returned to their room and closed the door did Hu Meili burst into tears.

"Oh my God, why is my life so miserable? Why did I have to deal with you bastards? You only know how to bully us orphans and widows, and you are not afraid of being struck by lightning."

Hu Meili hugged Lin Xiangxi with one hand and stopped Lin Xiangnan with the other, crying so sadly that her tears wet Lin Xiangnan's shoulders.

"Mom!" Lin Xiangxi was infected by Hu Meili's emotions. He hugged Hu Meili's waist and cried out of heartache.

Only Lin Xiangnan kindly comforted her, "It's okay, Mom. Don't you want a divorce? It will be fine after the divorce."

Liu Laohei and Hu Meili have been married for more than ten years, and their relationship is deep. When he heard Lin Xiangnan bring up the past, he became anxious and slapped Liu Hongying twice, scolding her, "Kneel down and admit your mistake to your mother."

Liu Hongying knelt down honestly and explained pitifully: "Mom, I was wrong. I really didn't mean it. It's just that Zhao Qi suddenly hugged me today, and I didn't dare to shout loudly, so I was discovered. I didn't expect Zhao Qi to be that kind of person."

Hu Meili stopped crying, wiped her tears and said, "Then go and sue Zhao Qi for being a hooligan. I and the people in the hospital can testify for you."

Liu Hongying cried timidly, "But he took advantage of me. If I don't marry him, my reputation will be ruined and no good family will dare to marry me. I know Xiaonan doesn't like him, so I covered up for him. I had no choice."

Out of trust in their relatives, Liu Laohei and his son stood on her side as soon as Liu Hongying explained.

"Maybe this was an accident."

Lin Xiangnan didn't buy it and reminded him, "Zhao Qi ran away, he's not dead. He'll come back tomorrow, and it'll be fun if what he says is different from what you said."

After hearing her reminder, Liu Hongying was stunned, then she bit her lip and shut up, not daring to say anything else.

She used a note to trick Zhao Qi into waiting for her in the alley. The two of them didn't even exchange a few words, let alone give an exchange of confessions.

Anyway, things had already happened, and no matter how much she explained, Hu Meili would not forgive her. Liu Hongying simply lowered her head and sobbed without saying anything.

Her look of being a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water made Hu Meili so angry that she fell backwards.

"Well, well, well, Liu Hongying, you are really great. No wonder you were urged to get married before, but you didn't. It turns out you wanted to marry someone higher up. Why don't you take a look in the mirror? Can you compare with our Xiaonan?"

Liu Hongying did not refute and let Hu Meili scold her.

A good man was snatched away by her, so being scolded was nothing. She even didn't take the slaps from Liu Laohei to heart.

This consequence was something she had expected.

Liu Laohei couldn't stand it, so he walked over and kicked her hard, calling her an "unfilial daughter", then turned to Hu Meili and said submissively: "Look, things have come to this. Let's discuss how to solve the problem first."

Hu Meili took a firm stance, "There is only one solution. That is to sue Zhao Qi for being a hooligan and send him to labor camp. Otherwise, we will break up."

"Now that Zhao Qi is in jail, what should we do with Hongying? Let's discuss this properly and don't say anything in anger." Liu Laohei said seriously, "Let me make my position clear first. Among the children in the family, Xiaonan must stay in the city. As for the job search, Xiaonan should be given priority. Is that ok with you?"

What's the difference between this and empty talk?

Lin Xiangnan asked back, "Can you guarantee to buy me a job? Jobs are so scarce right now, can you buy one just because you want to?"

Liu Laohei stammered and couldn't answer.

Lin Xiangnan shook his head and said to Hu Meili, "See. He is still perfunctorily treating you. Mom, let's get a divorce. I support you."

"What's wrong with you, girl? They say it's better to demolish a temple than to ruin a marriage. Why can't you just see your mother doing well?" Before Hu Meili could say anything, Liu Laohei got angry and shouted, "Shut up."

"Mom, look, I told the truth and he got angry out of shame..."

When Lin Xiangnan was halfway through his words, Liu Laohei grabbed a teacup and threw it at him, cursing, "You are a troublemaker."

"Mom, look, he still wants to hit me..."

These few words made Liu Laohei so furious that he stopped throwing things and started to attack, wanting to slap Lin Xiangnan in the face to teach her a lesson.

Lin Xiangnan dodged and kicked Liu Laohei, making him sit on his butt on the ground.

She didn't take the health-enhancing pills for nothing, and Liu Laohei didn't have the capital to act tough in front of her.

After thinking for two seconds, Lin Xiangnan was still a little angry, so he bent down and slapped Liu Laohei again.

"If you want to hit me in the face, don't blame me for hitting you back."

Liu Laohei's face was burning with pain. It was not only his face that was hit, but also his dignity. Liu Laohei was furious and picked up the stool beside him and threw it at Lin Xiangnan.

Lin Xiangnan dodged quickly and threw a stool back.

At this time, the family members reacted and Liu Hongying and her two siblings all rushed over and tried to hold Lin Xiangnan.

Seeing this, Lin Xiangxi and Hu Meili did not want to suffer any loss and came forward to help Lin Xiangnan.

The whole family fought together.

Lin Xiangnan fought one against four and took direct control of the situation.
