Chapter 137
Not only the second aunt was frightened by her words, but also everyone who entered the living room after breakfast.
Second aunt asked quickly: "What's going on?"
"Liu Jian is the clan leader's only son. He's been a scoundrel since he was a kid. Two years ago, he fell in love with a girl from the village. She was indeed pretty, but she wasn't even his relative! She knew his character and definitely wouldn't agree, so she went off to work in the county.
Around the New Year, she returned to take her widowed mother to the county, planning never to return to Liujiatun. But that beast saw her and dragged her into the sugarcane field! The girl struggled desperately, but he strangled her to death!
Everyone was in disbelief. Su Yuanzheng said, "Didn't we have a crackdown two years ago? He wasn't arrested? He wasn't shot? Didn't the girl's mother call the police?"
"You can't go, you can't go at all! Liujiatun is like an iron barrel. No one dares to disobey the clan leader. The girl's mother tried desperately to run out and call the police, but the beast pushed her down and hit her head on a rock, and she died.
That night, the clan leader had the mother and daughter thrown back home and set fire to the house, completely destroying all evidence. He then told others that they had burned themselves to death because they had not taken precautions against fire, and even hypocritically arranged for someone to drag them to the mountains and bury them.
After hearing this, Su Miao was very angry, but at the same time he felt very powerless. There are still some small villages that maintain this feudal clan management, forming their own faction and ignoring humanity and the law.
Assuming that the girl's mother could really escape and report the case, when the police went to investigate, the villagers would cover up for each other and the chances of the criminal being punished would be low.
"Ya! How...how did you marry into a wolf's den? And how did you know about Mrs. Liu's marriage proposal?"
"I was introduced by Granny Liu! The clan leader issued an order a few days ago that if anyone comes to inquire about Liu Jian, we must be extremely vigilant. Yesterday, I saw Granny Liu go to the clan leader's house again, so I secretly followed her and eavesdropped outside the courtyard.
Oh! They are so smart that they didn't even mention the name of the girl they liked! Then I heard that Liu Po said that she didn't see the girl, but there is a little cousin next door who is very beautiful. I heard others call her Su Miao. They are all from the same family, so she must be good-looking! "
Wang Xiaoya turned around and stared at Su Miao, saying, "It's her! I saw her before when I came to visit Sister Xiu during the New Year! She was so young then! I remember her name! The girl next door who was the same age as her is our Sister Hui!"
The second uncle slammed the table in anger and shouted, "You inflicted disease on Old Lady Liu! You damned Liujiatun! You actually tried to trick my daughter away!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his third aunt rushed in: "His second uncle, second aunt, that old woman Liu from yesterday is here again!"
When Wang Xiaoya heard that Mrs. Liu was coming, she jumped up like a frightened mouse. "Sister Xiu! Sister Xiu! Let me hide! If the head of the household knew that I was here to tip off the family, he would definitely beat me to death!"
The second aunt hurriedly took Wang Xiaoya to hide in the inner room. When Mrs. Liu came in, she was stunned when she saw the room full of black faces.
Then he put on a professional smile and said, "Hey! What's wrong? Why aren't you happy during the New Year? I was in such a hurry to come here yesterday that I forgot to bring you the New Year gifts that the man's family prepared. I brought them here specially today. They are all very thoughtfully prepared. There are snacks, sugar cakes, and fabric for the girl to make clothes."
Su Yu snorted coldly: "Humph! We can't afford these things! Take them away quickly!"
"What's going on? Didn't your family ask someone to find out? Did they say something bad? Oh no! The messenger must have made a mistake! That young man is well-known in the village for his promising future. No one can say anything bad about him!"
Seeing from their attitude that they seemed to know something, Mrs. Liu still pretended to be stupid, trying to find out where the news leaked from.
Second Auntie ran out from the inner room, pointed at Mrs. Liu's nose and began to curse: "F*** you ****, you ****! The people I asked to send haven't even arrived in Liujiatun yet, and they've already found out everything! There's no such thing as a wall that can't be penetrated. They did such a heinous thing, and they thought they covered it up so well! Don't they know that several villages already knew about it? It's only us who live far away that haven't heard about it. How dare you set your sights on my daughter? Get out of here right now!"
Liu Pozi has been a matchmaker for decades, and one has to say that she has a pretty good mental state, as she can still remain calm and laugh it off.
"Jealousy! Of course it's jealousy! Who wouldn't want to marry into such a good family?! They're deliberately trying to squeeze your daughter out to give their own sister a chance!"
Second Aunt was so angry that she grabbed Granny Liu by the collar and lifted her off the stool. "Who could make up such a convincing story? And how could several villages tell the same story? Tell me the truth, did Liu Jian kill someone? If you don't tell the truth, I'll bring people to dig up your ancestral grave tomorrow!"
After saying that, he threw Liu Pozi to the ground with force. Liu Pozi staggered and almost fell to the ground. She thought to herself, this is not good! That thing has spread so widely? Then I am afraid that Hongniang will not be able to get this money!
The Su family is a big family. If she offends them, she will probably suffer a lot of losses in the future. No, she has to help Liu Jianyuan get back what he owed her. At least she can't let the Su family think that she is deliberately trying to cheat them.
"Master, please don't be angry! Hey! Everyone made some mistakes when they were young, but he has learned his lesson now! He hasn't killed anyone in recent years. You should give him a chance to reform!"
Everyone present was stunned by her shattered worldview! "Auntie! Are you even speaking human language? You haven't killed anyone in all these years? Do you think you're just killing chickens and ducks?"
Su Yu picked up the New Year gifts she had brought and walked out of the courtyard, then threw them all out and said to Mrs. Liu, "Get out of here now! If you dare to gossip about my sister outside, our Su family will not allow anyone to bully you."
Seeing that things had come to this point and there was no chance of turning things around, Mrs. Liu had no choice but to leave in disgrace, cursing in her heart that she had thought she could make a fortune during the New Year, but had wasted her time in vain.
After Mrs. Liu left, Wang Xiaoya also came out of the room and said anxiously to her second aunt, "Sister Xiu, I'm leaving now. I lied to my husband and said I was going back to visit my mother's grave. If I delay for too long, he'll get suspicious."
Second aunt held her back and said, "Just say you're having dinner at a relative's house. What's the big deal? You're so skinny, your husband must be treating you badly. Come have dinner at my sister's house today and I'll give you some nourishment."
"Woo woo woo! Sister, you don't know, if my man gets angry he'll beat me to death! I only eat two bowls of rice a day and I have to do all the housework."
Wang Xiaoya pulled up his sleeves, revealing his arms covered with scars.
