Chapter 93: Instigation
Liu Lao Er continued to interrupt and reminded, "Mom, I was saying that this morning, my sister-in-law and the Pei family next door were discussing something. It turns out they were planning how to let my sister-in-law steal the money and run away!"
Mrs. Liu nodded, agreeing with her second son.
After all, since her daughter-in-law, who has always been timid and submissive, dared to steal money and run away today, there must be someone instigating it, and it must be the Pei family whom she hates the most. Isn't this just the conditions that are delivered to her door?
After being humiliated so many times, she was still worried about how to find trouble! Now the opportunity came to her, this time, she was determined to make life difficult for the Pei family.
Regarding this matter, Liu did not want to involve the Pei family. They had helped her so much, and if she still involved them, she would be heartless.
Liu opened her mouth to defend the Pei family and explained: "Mother, this matter has nothing to do with the Pei family."
"Oh! How can it not matter? If I say it does matter, then it does matter!" Old Mrs. Liu was sure that this matter was going to cause trouble.
"That's right, my sister-in-law stole the money and ran away. This must have been the idea of the Pei family! I will find the yamen runners to come and seek justice! Arrest the whole family!" Liu Laoer echoed from the side.
Hearing the word "yamen runner", Liu's resistance became even more intense. "This is all my own idea. It really has nothing to do with the Pei family!"
The Pei family can be considered her benefactors, and she absolutely cannot implicate them, otherwise she will not be able to face the Pei family.
But Old Lady Liu and Old Second Liu only insisted on their own ideas. They would never listen to her and even thought that her fierce resistance was a sign of guilt.
Old Mrs. Liu was full of confidence that she could definitely turn the tables this time, win, and make the Pei family suffer a setback.
She grabbed Liu's hair forcefully and dragged her towards the Pei family.
When Erya saw that A Niang’s expression was full of pain, she wanted to go forward to help and pull her grandmother’s hand away, asking her to stop bullying A Niang.
But A'niang held her hand tightly, as if she knew what she wanted to do next. As she walked forward, she shook her head at Erya with difficulty.
She was discovered when she escaped. Her mother-in-law was not a good-tempered person. If Erya helped her, she would definitely be beaten.
Her Erya was still so young, how could she withstand the beating from Old Lady Liu?
After being busy in the restaurant for a whole morning and planning to have a good rest, the Pei family heard knocks on the door.
Ji Zhisui, who was about to return to her room, stopped and looked towards the door. When she was about to go forward to open the door, her hand was grabbed by a hand.
Pei Yian shook his head at her, stood in front of her, protected her behind him, and then opened the door a crack.
When Pei Yian saw that the person knocking on the door was Old Lady Liu, his face darkened slightly, and he said condescendingly, "What's the matter?"
Old Lady Liu was frightened by the man in front of her and even wanted to run away.
But such thoughts quickly disappeared. She came here today for serious business! And she was the one who was right.
With this thought in mind, Old Lady Liu, who had been shrinking a little, straightened her back and raised her head and said, "Where's your mother? Ask her to come out. I have something important to discuss with her today!"
Pei Yian ignored Old Lady Liu's shouting and was about to close the door to the person who was obviously there to cause trouble.
Seeing this, Old Lady Liu quickly dragged Liu out from behind her and shouted, "Why, your mother encouraged my daughter-in-law to steal money and run away. Don't you have the courage to stand up?"
Pei Yian frowned. He didn't believe that the Pei family would do such a thing. He also knew something about Daya.
He was afraid that it was Old Lady Liu talking nonsense again. When he tried to close the door forcefully, Pei, who heard the noise in the house, hurried to the door.
Through the gap, Erya saw Old Lady Liu holding Liu's head tightly, and tears were falling from her eyes.
She felt very distressed and guessed that Mrs. Liu was probably discovered by Old Lady Liu when she wanted to leave.
After all, this matter has something to do with her. Liu and Erya have been bullied like that, and she can't just sit back and watch.
Furthermore, the way Old Lady Liu was muttering so loudly showed that she was eager to make this matter known to everyone. If this matter was not explained clearly, who knows how the neighbors would view them.
Sui Niang's restaurant was doing very well, and she absolutely could not let it down, because this incident would tarnish the reputation of Sui Niang and the restaurant.
Pei wanted to go out and solve the matter, so Pei Yian had no choice but to do so. He followed Pei, and Ji Zhisui also followed them out.
Pei said sternly, "Old Lady Liu, please don't say such nonsense. When did I ever encourage your wife to run away?"
"Just this morning, my second son saw you talking to that bitch for quite a while. In the afternoon, the bitch stole the money and left. If it wasn't you who ordered her to do that, who else could it be?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, you look like a decent person, but you like to play the wicked trick of breaking up families. How do you say that? One should not... what appearance!"
Looking at the surrounding families watching the excitement, Old Lady Liu continued to speak: "You have seen this. Don't let your daughters-in-law come into contact with this Pei family. If they do, your daughters-in-law will steal the money and run away! I have explained everything very clearly. Don't you admit it?"
Pei didn't do anything in this matter, but Old Lady Liu put the blame on herself without any investigation.
"Why should I admit to something I didn't do? Besides, how can you be sure that I instigated it? Do you have any evidence?"
"My second son heard it clearly." Old Mrs. Liu was determined to bring down the Pei family by ruining their reputation.
"Mom, I've already told you that this matter has nothing to do with the Pei family. I was just chatting with Pei about family matters this morning." Liu retorted.
"Shut up! You traitor! You have no right to speak!" Old Mrs. Liu was already angry, and she slapped Liu in the face.
The force was quite strong, and the sound of the slap was very loud amidst the noisy voices around.
She didn't need to show any displeasure towards this bitch who stole her money and betrayed her.
At the critical moment when the Pei family was about to be dragged into the water and the neighbors were about to hate the Pei family, this little bitch dared to stand up and talk nonsense.
Today she had to teach this traitor a lesson, so Old Lady Liu used all her strength and did not hold back at all.
Liu's face was slapped to the side. She covered her swollen and painful right cheek, and was too lazy to hide it. She planned to make public what the Liu family had done.
Anyway, since she had been caught running away, her future days were bound to be difficult. She might as well take the initiative to tear off this fig leaf and let everyone see the true face of the Liu family!
