Chapter 87 Safe and Sound

"Are you hurt? Let me take a good look at you!" Nian Huayue took two steps forward and tried to squeeze in through the gap in the courtyard gate.

However, the gap was too small and she could only barely fit one arm in.

"Mom, I'm fine, you..." Liang Wenxuan originally wanted to let her go back.

But it’s getting late now, and I’m afraid it will be midnight when I get back to the village, and the road will definitely be unsafe.

But the shop was a mess, and he didn't dare to let his mother watch it. He fumbled around and took out a few coins from his pocket, "Mom, please stay in the inn next door for one night. I'll have someone take you back tomorrow morning."

Nian Huayue glanced at his hand and noticed the deep scar on it.

"You say you're fine? How did you get injured? You don't want to let me in. Is it because someone smashed something inside and you don't want me to see it?" Nian Huayue was cautious at first, afraid that she would use too much force and damage the gate.

After seeing the wound on Liang Wenxuan's hand, she no longer cared about anything else and stretched out her hands and pushed hard.

There was a heavy object against the back of the gate, which made a creaking sound.

But that heavy object was nothing to Nian Huayue and she pushed it away easily.

She walked into the yard and saw a scene of ruins.

She took a breath of cool air when she saw it.

Liang Huanxue followed her in and was also shocked when she saw the scene.

How could it be as simple as just being smashed?

The doors and windows of several rooms were smashed to pieces, and the rice wine jars were broken into pieces all over the floor. There were fragments scattered everywhere, and the air was filled with the aroma of rice wine.

"What is going on?" Liang Yuanliang really didn't expect to see such a horrific scene.

It was as if it had been robbed.

"Dad, why are you here? And you're here with Huanxue..." Liang Wenxuan never thought that this news would spread back to the village.

His parents came so quickly that he didn't have any time to clean up, and he showed his vicious side to them.

"Where's Brother Weijiang? He wouldn't run away with his mother, right?" Liang Huanxue looked around inside and didn't see anyone else.

Not only were Liang Weijiang and Liu Chunhua not here, but even Qian Cong was not there.

"Wenxuan, tell me the truth, is Liu Chunhua responsible for the situation here?" Nian Huayue's voice trembled.

Her son finally gained Liang Wenxuan's recognition and became the owner of a rice wine shop. Just when the business was starting to pick up, a severe drought hit. Life was already difficult enough.

How is he going to explain to Liang Wenxuan that his rice wine shop was smashed like this?

"Mom, don't be angry, come and sit down." Liang Wenxuan brought out two chairs and brought a small stool for Liang Huanxue.

But Nian Hua Yue refused to sit still and insisted on getting a definite answer from him.

"Brother Wenxuan, are you injured anywhere else?" Although Liang Wenxuan concealed it well, Liang Huanxue still noticed that his brows were slightly wrinkled when he walked.

This means that he was also injured in the leg.

"It's gone, there's only this one wound, and my mother saw it." Liang Wenxuan hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to lie.

"Really not? Then I'll have to let your father show you a good lesson." But Nian Huayue didn't believe what he said.

The shop was smashed to pieces, he would only suffer minor injuries.

Liang Yuanliang dragged his son into one of the rooms without saying a word, found a secluded place, stripped his clothes, and found that he had many bruises and scars on his body.

There was a bandaged wound on his thigh that was bleeding.

"Even though you're injured like this, you still refuse to tell the truth?" Liang Yuanliang was very angry.

He knew that his son was not the kind of person who would cause trouble, so the rice wine shop being smashed was not caused by him.

Liang Wenxuan sighed, put on his clothes, and walked out.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that... Liu Chunhua saw that many people in the county town were short of water, so she wanted to sell the water I stored.

She had originally agreed to sell the water to Mr. Zhang, but because Liu Rong's family offered a higher price, she changed her mind and decided to sell the water to Liu's family instead.

"So the people from the Zhang Mansion came here and smashed the shop?"

Having said that, the result is self-evident.

"Grandpa already knows about it, but you don't have to worry, mom. Grandpa has always been a reasonable man. He knows that the fault is not mine, so he didn't blame me. He just asked me to repair the damaged doors and windows." Liang Wenxuan replied.

Nian Huayue was skeptical, "Are you telling the truth? He didn't ask you to pay any money, nor did he drive you away. He just asked you to fix the doors and windows?"

Liang Wenxuan nodded.

Liang Yuanliang and Nian Huayue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But when they saw the mess in the yard, they couldn't help but feel a headache, "How much money will this cost?"

"Mom, you don't have to worry about money. I've made a lot of money recently, and it's enough to repair the doors and windows. Besides, there's been a severe drought recently, so there's not much business. There's plenty of time, so you can take your time. Don't be too anxious."

Liang Huanxue wrinkled her nose when she heard this and said, "Brother Wenxuan is going to pay for it himself?"

This woke up Nian Huayue. She slapped her thigh and said, "That's right! How can we pay for this? Liu Chunhua was the one who caused this. She should be the one to pay for it."

Liang Yuanliang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Do you think Liu Chunhua can afford this kind of money given her personality?"

Nian Huayue also knew that getting money from Liu Chunhua would be harder than climbing to the sky.

"Whoever destroyed it should be asked for the money. The Zhang family sent people here to destroy things, so we should ask them for the money." Liang Huanxue knew that Liu Chunhua had no money.

But the Zhang family is extremely wealthy.

"Huanxue, this matter was originally our fault..."

Liang Wenxuan was interrupted by Liang Huanxue before he finished speaking, "Brother Wenxuan, this matter is Liu Chunhua's fault, and it has nothing to do with you. You have to remember this."

The disaster was caused by Liu Chunhua and had nothing to do with the rice wine shop.

The Zhang family sent people here to cause trouble, and they are the ones to be blamed.

"Huanxue, I understand what you mean, but... I'm afraid there's no one in the entire county who can reason with the Zhang family." Liang Wenxuan certainly understood that he was not at fault in this matter, but he had no choice but to take the blame.

Who made him agree to let Liu Chunhua live here?

If he hadn't been soft-hearted for a moment, this wouldn't have happened.

"Who said that no one can reason with the Zhang family?" Liang Huanxue was not going to suffer a loss like this, "Don't you have me?"

"Huanxue, do you really want to go to the Zhang family and reason with them?" Nian Huayue knew in her heart how much influence the Zhang family had in Qinghe County.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have done so many evil things and still be safe and sound.

But she was unwilling to suffer such a huge loss because of Liu Chunhua.
