Chapter 27 Meeting between the Two Clans

Mrs. Wei looked extremely unhappy.

She was filled with rage and wanted to confront Pu right now, but she was reluctant to drag Xingxing into such a dirty matter. She could only suppress her anger. After she and Huai'er brought Xingxing back to the Yu family, Mrs. Wei asked Huai'er to call Old Man Yu back from the field.

After Mrs. Wei said a few words to Old Man Yu, Old Man Yu's expression also changed.

Mrs. Wei and Old Man Yu both looked a little solemn, and told Li Chunhua: "If we don't come back at night, you don't have to wait for us. Leave some food for us and eat it yourself."

Li Chunhua was a little confused, but she still agreed.

The old couple went straight to their tribe and spent most of the day searching until the moon was high in the trees and Xingxing had fallen asleep on the kang. Only then did the old couple return home in the dark.

Xingxing was sleeping in a daze, but she was always thinking about her grandpa and grandma, so she couldn't sleep well.

So as soon as Mrs. Wei and Old Man Yu entered the room, Xingxing woke up even though they spoke in a low voice.

She rubbed her eyes and heard her aunt Li Chunhua bringing the meal left on the stove for Old Man Yu, the Wei Wife.

"Dad, Mom, it's all hot, you guys eat."

Li Chunhua also lowered her voice.

Xing Xing didn't move and continued to lie there with her eyes closed pretending to be asleep so as not to disturb grandpa and grandma while they were eating.

The door curtain rang softly and then closed gently. It was Li Chunhua who went out.

Old Man Yu and Mrs. Wei began to talk in low voices while eating.

"That Pu is too much! Lu Zi has been so sincere to her for the past six months. He used all the money he saved to pay for her to see a doctor and save her life... and this is the result!"

"She's really brave. She wears down the ladder every day! She's just waiting for the camel to fall down and die like he did today!"

Xingxing didn't quite understand and was thinking dazedly that grandma sounded very angry.

Old man Yu drank a mouthful of porridge and sighed softly: "The camel has a hard life."

Mrs. Wei still couldn't help but feel angry: "...I guess Mrs. Pu didn't expect us to know about her affair with the adulterer, and she still wants to deny it! Bah! Someone in their village has seen the two of them rolling together in the haystack!"

Old Man Yu persuaded Mrs. Wei instead: "Calm down. Right now, Mrs. Pu and the adulterer have been tied up and locked up in the woodshed. We will interrogate them tomorrow. Our clan will definitely seek justice for Lu Zi."

Mrs. Wei felt sad again: "If it weren't for our Xingxing this time... maybe after Lu Zi died, that bastard and the adulterer would still be alive and well, and they would mess around in the house that Lu Zi spent half his life to build..."

She said this with some sadness and let out a long sigh.

"Eat, eat. We'll all go there tomorrow." Old Man Yu advised Mrs. Wei, "Don't starve yourself to death."

Mrs. Wei muttered something again and said nothing more. For a while, the only sound in the room was the clatter of dishes and chopsticks.

Xingxing was already a little dazed at first, and as Mrs. Wei and Old Man Yu's voices became quieter, Xingxing's consciousness gradually became fuzzy again, and she gradually fell asleep.

When she woke up again, it was already the next day.

After breakfast, Old Man Yu and Old Lady Wei told each other about the affair between Yu Liuzi and Mrs. Pu. Yu Daniu immediately said angrily: "We can't just let this go!"

Old Man Yu finished his last mouthful of porridge and wiped his mouth: "Today, your mother and I said that our whole family should go over. I guess there will be a quarrel with the Xiang family today, so we should go over to help save the situation."

This is not just about Yu Liuzi and Pu, there is also the matter of the adulterer named Xiang.

If something like this happens in a place with simple folk customs, the clan will definitely take care of it.

Otherwise, people with your surname will lose face when they walk around and will be pointed at by others.

Girls from other families should think carefully before marrying into such a cowardly family. If something happens in the future, will the people in the family support you?

Therefore, although the matter of the Pu family being involved in the murder of Yu Liuzi seems to be a private matter, it is actually the most important event for the entire Yu family at the moment.

Several adult men in the Yu family nodded in agreement, and each of them was ready to go.

As for the younger members of the Yu family, although they are young, when such a murder occurred in the clan, as descendants of the Yu family, they must pass it by.

Several brothers had seen Yu Liuzi to some extent. When they heard that Yu Liuzi was almost dying because of his new wife, they were all furious and said in indignation that they must go and seek justice for Uncle Liuzi!

Only Xingxing was completely out of the picture.

What are you all talking about? They all seem so excited...

Xingxing looked at this blankly, then looked at that blankly.

The Yu family left home, so Xingxing was naturally taken with them.

Although Liu Ge'er was thin, he was careful and intelligent, and always made people feel at ease. Mrs. Wei told Liu Ge'er to take Xing Xing away from the crowd.

Liu Ge'er nodded in agreement.

The Yu family went to Beimanggou together.

After Old Man Yu and his branch arrived, several other families of the Yu clan also arrived one after another.

Before all the members of the tribe had arrived, nearly a hundred members of the Yu clan had gathered in a grand manner on the open space in Beimanggou where the grain had been dried before.

The men were standing inside, each with a serious look on their faces.

As for the women, they were always the only ones to be involved in major clan events, so they scattered around the men in twos and threes, talking about the current event in low voices, ready to provide support at any time.

The children of the Yu clan had their own circle. Liu Ge'er took Xing Xing and greeted several brothers and sisters in the clan first.

Several children looked at Xingxing with some curiosity.

"Is this the little granddaughter adopted by the fifth master?" A child from the Yu clan said frankly, "Doesn't she also have two eyes, a nose and a mouth? What's so strange about that?"

Liu Ge'er was unhappy.

You can say I'm not good, but if you say my sister is not good, I'm sorry, we're not done yet!

Brother Liu held Xingxing by the arm, looking down on her: "You didn't know it at first glance, right? Sister Xingxing is the lucky star of our family!"

Liu Ge'er recounted all the things that had happened to his family since they adopted Xingxing.

Liu Ge'er's description style is quite different from Bo Ge'er's vivid description.

Liu Ge'er's description style gives people the feeling of "Wow, although I don't quite understand your wording, but I feel it's really amazing when I hear it."

This made several brothers and sisters in the clan dumbfounded. After they came to their senses, they were amazed. When they looked at Xingxing again, their eyes changed. What's more, they even wanted to touch Xingxing's little hand, saying that it was for good luck!

Xingxing is a very generous child who does not bear grudges. Even though someone just spoke rudely to her, she did not care. She smiled and stretched out her little hand to let the other person touch her.

It was noisy and lively over at Yu's place, and soon someone came over from Xiang's place.

The entire Yu family has been rooted near Langshen Mountain for a long time, and their descendants are all around Langshen Mountain. Although the Xiang family has a lot of people, it is still a little weaker than the Yu family.

They simply invited some people they were on good terms with, and even invited Li Zheng from Beimanggou!

Therefore, although Xiang's group consisted of only a few dozen people, when they came, they had the momentum of a mighty army.

Yu was no pushover either, and the two sides immediately became hostile.

The person who spoke this time was an old man with gray hair and beard.

Xingxing took a look from a distance and thought that this grandpa was very strange, with a face that looked a bit like a grasshopper.

She asked Liu Ge'er quietly, and Liu Ge'er burst out laughing and gave full affirmation: "Yes, it's a grasshopper!"
