Chapter 404 You are better than him
"Xiu, Xiu'er..." Meeting the woman's calm gaze, even though she hadn't said a word yet, Chen De's face was already burning, as if he had been slapped in the face from a distance.
Extremely ashamed.
His eyes were evasive and greedy.
He didn't dare to look directly at the calmness, clarity, and strangeness in the woman's eyes.
And I greedily wanted to look at her a few more times.
After not seeing her for more than ten years, she had changed so much that he almost didn't recognize her at first sight.
Her face looked fair and elegant, completely different from her previous thin and sallow image.
What's more, her posture is dignified and confident, and her calm and gentle temperament in every gesture cleanses people's souls.
She was wearing a light blue jacket and skirt, her cloud-like hair was tied up with a white jade hairpin, and her every frown and smile made her look like a noble lady walking out of the backyard of a wealthy family.
Su Xiuer looked at the mother and son calmly, and then spoke very naturally, "If you two want to get porridge, please line up according to the rules and don't take other people's seats."
After a pause, she turned to the old woman of the Chen family and said, "Aunt Chen, Chen De and I divorced a long time ago. I am no longer a member of the Chen family. I hope you won't ruin my reputation by saying nonsense like you did just now. Sixteen years ago, I had no further connection with your Chen family."
The people who came to help behind the counter immediately continued to distribute porridge according to the order of the queue.
After receiving Su Xiuer's approval, the people on the other side felt relieved and smiled.
Some even had the audacity to deliberately mutter, "They divorced over a decade ago, and yet they still have the nerve to come here and talk about their daughter-in-law and mother-in-law... Just looking at their face and demeanor, you can tell they're not easy to deal with. They're here to take advantage of them, right? Pah! How shameless!"
The old woman of the Chen family was extremely anxious when she heard Su Xiuer completely severing ties between the two families. She didn't care about arguing with the people behind her. She stared at Su Xiuer and screamed, "What do you mean no relationship anymore? Su Xiuer, don't you feel guilty about saying this? When you married into my Chen family, I never treated you badly! I loved you like my own daughter! Later, when your family was exiled, you followed them quietly without saying a word. Ade has been thinking about you for more than ten years! Do you have any conscience when you say this now?"
Su Xiuer didn't want to argue any further. It was in public and she would just be laughed at.
And when you are entangled with an old woman who is used to making unreasonable demands, no matter how much you try, she will not listen.
"Chen De, our fate ended long ago. The divorce agreement was reviewed by the clan elders and stamped by the government. Take your mother away. Don't make trouble here and hinder others." Su Xiuer calmly withdrew her gaze and waved to the next patient.
Chen De pursed his lips, his eyes filled with even greater sadness.
He reached out and grabbed his mother who was about to rush forward to make trouble. He knew he should leave immediately, but after not seeing her for many years, she was living so well after leaving.
It seemed that without him, her life was more exciting and vivid.
He finally felt a little unwilling, "Xiu'er——"
He called out, but before he could finish the rest of the words, he flew backwards.
The old woman's sharp cries mixed with the crowd's roars, making a chaotic mess in her ears.
Chen De slid more than two meters on the ground before stopping, and his back was burning as it touched the ground.
He looked up in panic and saw a man in a black robe with tight sleeves. He was tall and mighty, with a full beard and an indescribable aura. He was definitely not an ordinary person.
The man looked at him coldly with his eagle-like eyes, which were sinister and cruel, as if he could take his life at any time. That kind of cold indifference made Pingduan shudder.
Old Mrs. Chen saw with her own eyes how her son was kicked so far away. When she realized what was happening, she immediately sat down on the ground, slapping her legs and howling. "Oh my God! Bullying! Su Xiu'er, you have no conscience! We, mother and son, knew you were back and came all the way to find you, and you actually asked a wild man to beat people up. I was wondering how you could be so cold-blooded and heartless, not caring about our past relationship at all. It turns out you have a new lover! You are such a fickle and vicious woman! You left without a word back then, so I'm afraid you had been secretly having an affair with someone all along! No wonder you look like a rich and powerful person now! So this is how good life is achieved, you shameless vixen, bitch!"
The surrounding area was full of people from all over Ningshui Town who had come to get porridge and medicine. They were so amazed by the show before them that they were speechless.
One is that you are unwilling to pay back what you have received.
Secondly, the bearded man exuded a murderous aura, and he looked as if he had really killed someone, which was extremely scary.
Thirdly, although everyone didn't know the whole story, they could tell right from wrong just by looking at the old woman's behavior.
Therefore, although the people present did not dare to talk to each other, most of them despised the old woman, and their hearts naturally leaned towards Su Xiuer.
The bearded man ignored the wailing old woman on the ground and turned to the woman behind him, saying, "Is this the kind of person you were attracted to back then? He's just hiding in the background and letting his mother take the blame for him?"
Su Xiuer, "..."
The bearded man said, "How am I inferior to this weakling?"
Su Xiuer, "..."
The old woman on the ground was crying and singing in an opera-like voice, with her bearded man walking with steps.
The old woman was so frightened that she turned over and crawled back quickly. When she came to her senses, she found that the man had ignored her and walked straight towards the person who had not yet been able to get up.
"What do you want to do? Do you really want to kill someone? Su Xiu'er, tell him to stop! If anything happens to my son, I will fight you--"
Snap——
"Ah--!" Chen De wailed while holding his legs. His face turned pale and his features were distorted in pain. Big beads of cold sweat broke out.
The bearded man raised his foot and pressed down on the man's other intact leg. He turned around and his gaze fell on the face of the old woman who was hiccuping in fear. "If you curse at her again, I will rip off all three of your son's legs."
Old Lady Chen, “…burp!”
Su Xiuer, "..."
She stared at the man who spoke rudely but stood in front of her to protect her without any principles. After a moment, a gentle smile flashed across her eyes.
She stood up and walked out of the medicine table. She walked to the man, hesitated for a moment, and reached out to gently pull his sleeve. "Forget it, don't bother with them. Those words can't hurt me at all."
She is no longer the Su Xiuer of the past.
The bearded man felt the gentle pressure from his sleeve and pulled his foot back, but he still refused to leave, his thick brows furrowed tightly. "Why are you begging for mercy on their behalf? I can step on him like an ant! What on earth did you fancy in such a weakling in the first place?"
"Your eyesight was poor before." Su Xiu'er's cheeks flushed slightly. She turned back to the medicine table and whispered something into the man's ears, "You're better than him."
The bearded man's legs went limp and the skin on his face behind his beard quickly turned red.
Grass.
It was almost embarrassing!
If you want to say these things, say them when there is no one around!
I am the leader of a gang!
