Following the direction of her finger, a bolt of lightning struck the Pei family's roof, shattering a flowerpot placed in the hall.
Several loud clanging sounds echoed in all directions.
Pei Antong remained unconvinced and stubbornly retorted, "We must believe in science and crack down on feudal superstition. All supernatural phenomena are fake. What era are we living in? Anyone who believes in that is a fool..."
No sooner had he finished speaking than another bolt of lightning struck, snapping the large tree in the yard to the ground.
Fu Wanning glanced at the three terrified Cui Hailu and her companions, then chuckled and said, "Keep swearing! You have to believe in science, you're fearless, you're not afraid of being struck by lightning, tsk tsk, what a nice day! Sunny and thundering, I've learned something new!"
The Pei family members: "...!!"
Grandma Fu and Fu Yuzhong had witnessed it in Xiangyang Village; the saying "Heaven is watching" was no joke.
The onlookers outside could hardly hide their shock. Even if they didn't believe it, they had to be in awe. Once or twice could be considered a coincidence, but three times?
It can't all be a coincidence, and it can't all end up targeting the Pei family.
This lightning seemed to have eyes; it was clearly aimed at the Pei family.
People who didn't believe in ghosts and gods before now do, and they're thinking about warning themselves and their families not to do anything wrong, or they might get struck down by God one day.
Pei Antong swallowed hard, not daring to make any rash vows, fearing that she would be the next one to be struck by lightning. This damned lightning was too disrespectful to her.
Cui Hailu dared not swear a solemn oath either, so she could only continue to feign grievance and play the victim, "Aunt, we're relatives, is my cousin trying to ruin things? Does he want me to invite my parents to make decisions? What have I done to offend my cousin? I'm in Beijing, how could I possibly interfere?"
Having experienced the pain of losing his wife and children, Fu Yuzhong was no longer afraid of his uncle and aunt's domineering attitude. "Don't bring your parents into this. They're not my biological parents. What do they have to do with me? I'm here to seek justice from you. Your Cui family is my enemy. You caused my wife and children to be separated from me, and now you won't let me take revenge?"
Grandma Fu has come to her senses and no longer blindly supports and subsidizes her maternal family. Even though she has been wholeheartedly devoted to them, to her family she is nothing more than a tool for marrying out. They have always thought of her well-being, so why should she give the Cui family any face?
“Cui Hailu, if I don’t help my son, am I supposed to help an ungrateful wretch like you? Calling your parents over won’t do any good. I’ve already cut ties with them. I was foolish before, always putting my family first and giving them everything I had. In the end, I was used and abandoned by them. I resent your Cui family for disregarding family ties. I hate you for ruining my grandson!”
"You kept saying your family was my support, that they would stand up for me and make decisions for me, but what happened? When something happened, you were the first to abandon and abuse me. You really are my good family. I truly regret believing your lies!"
Cui Hailu's expression changed drastically as she realized her aunt had betrayed her. She quickly tried to appease her, "Aunt, don't be impulsive. Let's talk this out and resolve this together. We shouldn't air our dirty laundry in public..."
