Chapter 170 Recognition
Old lady Liu was shouting loudly, but Lei Zhen, the young man, scolded her and her voice did not stop for a moment, and she continued to cry and wail.
At this moment, a middle-aged man who came in with Liu stood up, looked at the two brothers of the Lei family, and said in a pretentious manner: "We are from the Liu family. This is my mother, and she is also the sister of the Lei family's wife."
He had thought the two Lei brothers would come forward and call him uncle, but he didn't expect Lei Zhen to look at them suspiciously, while Uncle Lei Ting frowned and thought for a moment before saying calmly, "A few years ago, I sent someone back to inquire, and there's no one left in my great-grandmother's branch of the Liu family."
Before the middle-aged man could say anything, the crying old woman turned around and glared, "Who said the Liu family has no one left? I'm the daughter of the Liu family who married out. Now my second son has taken my surname, Liu. He kowtowed before the ancestral tablets of the Liu family. He will inherit the Liu family's incense from now on."
Lei Ting looked at them, his frown still there, obviously not believing what they said.
At this time, the middle-aged woman who had been supporting Old Lady Liu and looked very powerful shouted, "Mother, please don't tell them these nonsense. We are not here today to recognize relatives, but to support my aunt. She died in an unclear way. Isn't the Lei family just bullying us, the Liu family, because we have no one? Today we want to show them that our Liu family is really helpless! Killing someone means paying with your life. My aunt can't die in vain!"
As soon as the woman said this, there was an uproar among the people watching.
Although there were a lot of rumors about the cause of Mrs. Lei's death, the story told by her in-laws was different.
Someone said, "Madam, please don't say anything careless. Do you have any evidence?"
The woman, unfazed by the words, spoke even more confidently, "Isn't it easy to get evidence? Our Liu family is already planning to report it to the authorities. When the time comes, we'll have them send someone to examine my aunt's body. What else is there to understand?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was another uproar.
Lei Zhen angrily said, "No! My grandmother is no longer with us and should be buried in peace. How can you treat her like this?"
The middle-aged woman sneered and responded, "We are humiliating you? I'm afraid your Lei family is just feeling guilty about their crimes, right?"
By this time, the place was in chaos, and the onlookers had changed from whispering to open discussion. Some said that the Liu family, who had come out of nowhere, were slandering them and had no idea what they were up to. Others said that there was indeed something wrong with the Lei family, and that Mrs. Lei's sudden death might be related to the Lei family. Some people just stood by and watched the excitement without making any random comments.
This made the whole mourning hall lively.
Seeing that the situation was about to become chaotic, Lei Ting raised his hand and waved for everyone to be quiet. Although he was young, when he put on a stern face he really had the authority of the head of the Lei family. In addition, everyone also wanted to know what Lei Ting wanted to say at this moment, so the scene really quieted down.
"You want to report it to the police?"
The place fell silent, and everyone looked at the people from the Liu family who had arrived.
This time, a total of more than a dozen people from the Liu family came, including men and women, young and old. However, everyone understood that the protagonists should be the old lady Liu, who was said to be Mrs. Lei's sister, and the middle-aged man and middle-aged woman who spoke.
