He forcefully shook her off and strode back to the village.
Liu Hongshao collapsed to the ground, clutching her neck and gasping for breath, her heart pounding in her throat.
Xu Xiangyang had just been truly intent on killing her. She was certain that if it weren't for her uncle's kindness to Xu Xiangyang, he would have actually killed her.
At that moment, she finally understood that there was no possibility left between her and Xu Xiangyang.
Returning to Liujia Village in a daze, Liu Hongshao was like a wilted eggplant, completely devoid of life.
"Little sister, what's wrong?"
"Yeah, why do you look like this?"
"Weren't you perfectly fine when you left home?"
Hearing her brothers' concern, Liu Hongshao finally couldn't hold back her grievances and heartache, and burst into tears.
The three older brothers were very anxious when they saw their little sister crying like this, and they tried to comfort her.
Liu Hongshao tearfully recounted what had happened, bitterly cursing, "It's all that bitch Li Xiyue's fault! If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been kicked back by my uncle, and Xiangyang wouldn't have almost killed me!"
Even now, she still hasn't realized her mistake and blames everything on others.
"Xu Xiangyang went too far! How could he treat his little sister like that?" Second brother Liu Hongjiang said angrily, hands on his hips.
Third Brother Liu Honghe also said, "I'll go find Xu Xiangyang."
The eldest brother, Liu Honghai, pulled him back, saying, "If you ask me, the culprit is that female educated youth."
Is Third Brother stupid? Xu Xiangyang is so skilled that even the three of them combined might not be his match. Going after Xu Xiangyang is just asking for trouble.
But that female educated youth from the city was different; she must be a weakling who couldn't lift a finger, much easier to deal with than Xu Xiangyang.
“Brother is right, let’s go and settle accounts with that female educated youth,” Liu Hongjiang said.
Liu Hongshao cried and tried to stop her, saying, "Don't go! Brother Xiangyang said that if I cause any more trouble for Li Xiyue, she'll kill me!"
"We can't just let it go like this, can we?" Liu Honghe was unwilling to give up.
They couldn't even bear to speak harshly to their younger sister, so how could they tolerate her being bullied outside?
“But Xu Xiangyang is really capable of murder.” Liu Honghai said with lingering fear, “Have you forgotten what happened to that female educated youth back then?”
As Liu Hongjiang and Liu Honghe recalled the past, fear welled up in their hearts.
"Is Sweet Potato Sister here?" Just then, Wang Lao Er's voice rang out from outside.
Liu Hongshao hid behind her brothers in fright, crying out, "I don't want to see him! Eldest brother, second brother, third brother, tell him to get lost!"
The three brothers also utterly despised outsiders.
The uncle had already given Wang Lao Er a sum of money, but a few days later, Wang Lao Er spent it all and came to ask them for more, threatening them that they either had to give him the money or marry their sister to him.
For the sake of his sister's reputation, his parents had no choice but to give him money again and again.
I gave him five yuan yesterday, and he's back again today. I can't shake this clingy guy off.
"Big brother, third brother, I have an idea." Liu Hongjiang was the quickest-witted among the siblings. His eyes darted around and he came up with a way to solve the problem once and for all.
Liu Honghai and the others hurriedly asked, "What idea?"
Liu Hongjiang beckoned them over and whispered a few words. The siblings all smiled. This was a great idea!
"Your leg is fine now, but you shouldn't do heavy work for a while. Take it easy and let it rest," Li Xiyue said with a smile as she removed the splint from Su Zhiyong's leg.
Su Zhiyong couldn't wait to go to work and earn work points, so he asked, "Li Zhiqing, my legs don't hurt at all anymore, can't I still get out of bed?"
He's been lying at home for a month now, living off his savings every day, causing his wife and children to suffer, and he feels really bad about it.
"It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone; it's always good to rest more," Jiang Chunxiu said from the side.
Su Zhiyong had no choice but to compromise, "Fine, I'll do whatever my wife says."
Li Xiyue glanced at them with a smile; the couple seemed to have a pretty good relationship.
"Li Zhiqing, have lunch at home before you leave," Jiang Chunxiu said with a smile.
Li Xiyue shook her head, "No, Aunt Chunxiu, I have to go back to the shelter."
