Uncle Liu looked at Xing Zhaozhao, his old face, as white as tree bark, wrinkled, and he revealed a hypocritical smile: "Mingcheng's wife still remembers me, right? I'm Mingcheng's uncle."
Xing Zhaozhao nodded and called out, "Uncle Liu."
Uncle Liu's smile froze: "Is Mingcheng's wife really not going to acknowledge us relatives anymore?"
Xing Zhaozhao shook her head and said, "It's not a matter of whether I'm willing to acknowledge them or not. After all, we've already severed ties with the Gao family. We need to draw clear lines. If we keep mixing them up, then the severing of ties before would have been for nothing. Uncle Liu, don't you think so?"
Uncle Liu's face twitched, and he looked deeply at Xing Zhaozhao, saying, "People shouldn't be too selfish. When you need help, you won't even have any relatives to help you. That's when you'll realize how bitter it is."
Xing Zhaozhao chuckled: "If Uncle Liu's so-called relatives are the kind of people you don't see at all when you're giving birth in the hospital for many days in a row, then forget it, it's better to not have them."
Uncle Liu's expression changed, and he turned to glare fiercely at Old Lady Gao.
What idiots! At a time like that, they didn't even bother to put on a show? After being married into the Gao family for decades, have they become so stupid? Don't ever say you're from the Liu family again. It's shameful.
Grandma Gao felt wronged. Back then, wasn't the goal to distance herself from her traitorous son? Otherwise, would she have waited for her whole family to be sent to a labor camp?
Uncle Liu turned around and looked at Xing Zhaozhao with a smile: "This is what your mother-in-law did wrong. I will talk to her and it will never happen again."
"No need, since we've already severed ties, there won't be a future for us," Xing Zhaozhao said decisively.
After saying that, Xing Zhaozhao was too lazy to play along with him anymore and said directly, "Uncle Liu, just say what you want to say. Don't beat around the bush. I'm quite busy and don't have that much free time."
Uncle Liu's eyes darkened, but his face still wore a fake smile: "Oh, it's nothing. We just came to ask Mingcheng's wife to come with us to the Public Security Brigade to clear up the misunderstanding from last night. Gouzi was just visiting relatives with a friend. Although the timing wasn't ideal, to be falsely accused of being a thief is really going too far. He's so young, and to be sent to a labor camp would ruin his life."
He looked intently at Xing Zhaozhao: "You also have a son, you can understand the heart of an old father, right, Mingcheng's wife?"
"Liu Gouzi is going to be sent to a labor camp?" Xing Zhaozhao looked surprised; she hadn't heard about this at all.
"How could it be so fast?" she asked in surprise.
She had just submitted the case in the morning and received a verdict in the afternoon. She thought there would be some further procedures to go through.
Aunt Hao knew: "Well, originally they didn't steal anything, and you didn't suffer any loss, so they didn't need to be punished too severely. At most, they would just be locked up for a few days. But I heard that someone went to the public security brigade to smooth things over. Liu Gouzi instigated the crime, so he was directly sentenced as the main culprit and will be sent to a labor camp. The others were criticized and educated, and then they were released directly."
Xing Zhaozhao: "..."
No wonder the other two families in the village didn't make a move, but Old Liu's family came knocking on our door.
Xing Zhaozhao looked at Uncle Liu seriously and said, "No need. What happened last night wasn't a misunderstanding, there's no need to clarify. I can understand how you feel as a father, Uncle Liu, but who told you not to raise your son well? So the country can only teach him for you. Let him work hard and be educated in the labor camp."
Uncle Liu's smile could no longer be maintained.
Although he had more than one son, and Gouzi was indeed not very good at making progress, he was still his most beloved youngest son.
He looked at Xing Zhaozhao with a stern face: "You really don't want to go?"
"I'm not going." Xing Zhaozhao said, then turned to go back.
She hadn't taken two steps when someone grabbed her arm, the iron grip making her arm ache.
Xing Zhaozhao turned her head to look behind her.
Uncle Liu looked at her with a sinister gaze: "You have to go today, whether you like it or not."
Seeing her elder brother personally take action, Old Lady Gao smiled smugly.
Xing Zhaozhao couldn't help but roll her eyes and forcefully shook off the arm that Uncle Liu was holding.
Uncle Liu felt a strong force pull on his hand, and then he was lifted into the air, where he stood there dumbfounded.
Then he fell headfirst down with a thud, which made his vision go black and he almost passed out.
Grandma Gao was still smiling when she suddenly saw her eldest brother fly up. Her smile froze instantly, her eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. It took her a while to react before she exclaimed, "Big brother..."
The rest of the Liu family were also stunned. After a moment, they came to their senses and lunged at Xing Zhaozhao with ferocious expressions: "You little whore, how dare you lay a hand on my elder brother (father)..."
"Bang."
"Smack."
"Thump."
One by one, members of the Liu family flew out, then fell and crashed to the ground, quickly scattering across the area.
Those who had come to watch the spectacle were so shocked that they forgot to eat their melon seeds, staring in disbelief at the scene before them.
Although I had heard before that Xing Zhaozhao had taken down nine men by herself, it was just hearsay and I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, so I was still a little skeptical. Now I finally confirmed that it was true.
Their gazes toward Xing Zhaozhao were all filled with a sense of awe.
I dare not provoke them, I really dare not provoke them.
At this moment, Hongyu, who had been sleeping inside, heard the noise outside and knew something was wrong. He immediately got up, waved his little fists, and ran out, charging into the fray: "How dare you bully my mom! Take this punch..."
Unfortunately, he arrived a little late, so he only gave Liu Laoda, who had just fallen in front of him, a token punch as a formality.
Seeing the people lying all over the ground again, Hongyu couldn't help but think of what happened last night, and his eyes lit up.
"Mommy, I'll go get you a rope." He called out in a clear voice, and before Xing Zhaozhao could speak, he turned and ran off. He quickly ran back, carrying a long rope on his small shoulder, and handed it to Xing Zhaozhao, his little face full of expectation. "Mommy, the rope."
Xing Zhaozhao: "..."
Xing Zhaozhao understood what he meant.
Alright, since I've already brought it.
Just like last night, she skillfully tied all the members of the Liu family together in a string.
When Old Man Gao came over and saw this scene, he was stunned.
Old Gao knew that Old Lady Gao had brought the Liu family to cause trouble for Xing Zhaozhao.
Although they had long since severed ties, in his mind, blood relations could not be severed, and Xing Zhaozhao was still his son's wife. However, he found Xing Zhaozhao's recent behavior very displeasing; a woman should act like a woman.
He planned to come over and act like a father-in-law once the Liu family had taught Xing Zhaozhao a lesson, but he never expected to see such a scene when he arrived.
Old Gao was trembling with rage. He ran up to Xing Zhaozhao, pointed at her nose, and cursed, "This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! They are your elders, how dare you lay a hand on them like that?"
Xing Zhaozhao frowned, trying to explain: "They attacked first."
"Then you can't do it yourself, quickly untie them all!" Old Gao shouted.
Xing Zhaozhao looked at Old Man Gao, then down at the Liu family members who were already strung together on the ground, and thought for a moment.
Since we've already done it, one more won't make a difference.
However, before she could even make a move, Aunt Hao seemed to have seen through her plan and did it for her.
"Shut up." Aunt Hao punched Old Gao in the face, knocking him down as well.
"No matter what, he is Mingcheng's father." Aunt Hao looked at Xing Zhaozhao and said with a smile.
Xing Zhaozhao smiled, her eyes crinkling: "Thank you, Auntie."
