"Grandpa, did you know that your granddaughter was plotted against by someone in the countryside?"
With tears and snot streaming down her face, Liu Cuifang told all the stories of how she was framed by Zhao Yongsen and his mother, and how Tang Yunling and Lu Baiwei caught them cheating.
She cried bitterly: "Grandpa, your granddaughter is also a victim!"
"The granddaughter-in-law of the He family and the one Zhou Yanfeng married were so cruel. I was clearly the one being schemed against. They stripped me naked and made me wanted by others."
"I returned to the educated youth camp that day, and when I got up in the middle of the night, someone dragged me into the woods. I cried out to the sky and the earth, but no one answered."
"I wanted to kill myself afterwards, but I couldn't bear to leave my mom, you, my dad, and my brothers and sisters, so I endured it."
"A hemp rope only breaks at the thinnest part. I want to sue Zhao Yongsen for hooliganism. Now that I find out I'm pregnant, I want to abort the baby. If I go to the commune hospital, there will be a record. If they know I'm pregnant, they won't care how I got pregnant. They will fabricate a story about me and drown me with spit."
"Many people in the countryside who have experienced this have been forced to jump into the river or hang themselves, and never live to see the day they return to the city."
"Grandpa, who made me like this?"
"It's him, Zhao Yongsen."
"So, I thought of using him, using him to give birth to a child and return to the city so that he can atone for his sins."
“Am I doing this wrong?”
"I am also a victim. I am also desperate. You just ignore me..."
After listening to Liu Cuifang's hysterical accusations, Liu's daughter-in-law Su Guifen burst into tears.
After hearing this, Mr. Liu was silent for a long time.
Then he said in a resounding voice: "Then you are not right either. Since you got married and had children in the countryside, you said that you were dating the boy from the Li family."
"There is a reason for this."
Liu Cuifang looked shy and her cheeks flushed. She said that she had plotted against Li Ruicai and then said that Li Ruicai was plotted against by someone else and she had taken care of him the whole night.
"Grandpa, is it wrong for me to take care of Ruicai for the rest of his life instead of Shishi?"
Liu Cuifang sobbed quietly: "You don't know that after Shishi got into trouble, he lived a miserable life. Shishi was so good to me. In the countryside, we two girls depended on each other for survival. I wanted to take care of Ruicai for her."
"I know Ruicai can't let go of her, but I can wait until the day he agrees to marry me."
Mr. Liu interrupted her: "Shut up, what kind of perverted logic is this."
"How can you take care of someone else's partner for your friend? Our Liu family can't afford to lose face like this. Don't ever think of this again."
How could the Li family accept that his granddaughter's reputation was ruined like this?
Thinking of the shame he would suffer because of his unworthy granddaughter, Mr. Liu said cruelly, "Go back to the compound, pack up your things, and move out!"
"No matter whose child that child is, since you gave birth to him, you should take good care of him."
When Grandpa Liu said this, Liu Cuifang burst into tears: "Grandpa, are you going to kick me out of the compound?"
"Grandpa, please don't chase me away."
Liu Cuifang cried until her voice became hoarse.
Her mother Su Guifen couldn't bear it and nodded to the two heads that popped in from the door.
Then two children carrying backpacks as big as their school bags pushed open the door and entered the ward.
"Grandpa, are you feeling better?"
"Grandpa, does it hurt anywhere?"
The two teenagers who are in junior high school are Liu Cuifang's younger brother and sister. They are twins born to the Liu family after their mother married into the compound.
Mr. Liu loves these two children the most.
The reason why Liu Cuifang was driven to the countryside was because it was discovered that she was dishonest and had instigated her younger brothers and sisters to lie and deceive others.
Out of sight, out of mind, she was sent to the countryside to calm down.
I didn't expect that she would get into such a big trouble when she went to the countryside.
The two children asked about Mr. Liu's well-being and temporarily comforted him.
Liu's daughter-in-law spoke softly at the side: "Dad, the reason why I didn't tell you about Fangfang's matter right away is because there are many doubts about it."
"The man Fangfang married in the countryside happened to bring his child to Kyoto University. It was a desperate move for her. I felt something was wrong."
"According to Fangfang, that man is greedy and wants to use our family to get a job in Kyoto that pays for commercial grain."
"The child isn't his, but he has been raising Fangfang for so long, so he should have asked our family for money. He shouldn't have been so impulsive and caused a scene at Kyoto University."
"I think there's something wrong with this matter, and I've been investigating it behind the scenes these days."
Su Guifen told the old man: "Then we traced it back to the Zhou family. The jeep driven by Zhou Yang went to the train station twice recently. We compensated that person yesterday. When he left Kyoto, it was Zhou Yang who took him to the train station."
It’s not that Liu’s daughter-in-law didn’t tell her about Liu Cuifang’s anonymous letter to the Education Bureau to report Mr. Zhou, but Liu Cuifang had kept this matter a secret from her, so she doesn’t know about it now.
When Mr. Liu heard that the Zhou family was involved in this matter, his face turned black.
"Why did the Zhou family get involved?"
"Good old Zhou, playing this trick on me."
Mr. Liu was so angry: "When I leave the hospital, I have to go to the Zhou family and settle this account with them."
"I want to see why the Zhou family wants to kill my granddaughter..."
After staying in the hospital for two days, Mr. Liu was discharged and took Liu Cuifang to settle the score with the Zhou family.
Liu Cuifang also brought her child Xiaoxi with her.
Mr. Liu frowned: "Don't you think it's not embarrassing enough?"
"Grandpa, you have to get up from where you fell."
Liu Cuifang took a deep breath and said, "I want to let the people in the compound know that I am also a victim. Why should they blame the victim?"
Only the people in the compound know how the child came about.
Someone will sympathize with her.
Only then can she gain a foothold in the compound.
Old Master Liu thought about it and felt that his granddaughter's words made sense. If he hid the child, he would be laughed at behind his back by the people in the compound. It would be better to put the child in the open. He would not mind it and fewer people would talk about it in the future.
Old Master Liu had no choice but to turn a blind eye and took Liu Cuifang to Zhou's house in a rage.
"Sister, I'll go with you."
"I'm going too!"
The Liu family's twins were clamoring to catch up, and Grandpa Liu, who had always doted on them, agreed.
On the weekend, Zhou Yanfeng brought Tang Yunling back to the compound again. He not only invited He Ting and Lu Baiwei to come to his house for dinner, but also Tang Yuanhuai and Tang Yuanyang came to the Zhou family to get to know each other. Zhou Yanfeng also called Li Ruicai.
However, Li Ruicai was currently playing chess with Mr. Zhou in the room.
Lu Baiwei and Tang Yunling were helping Su Qingyi. They had just set up a barbecue grill in the courtyard and were grilling some meat skewers when the Liu family's grandparents and grandchildren arrived in a rage.
"Old Zhou, come out and give me an explanation."
