Chapter 42 Run Away At Night
No one took it seriously as Wang Guifang said this matter wasn't over when she left.
The Wu family knew clearly Xia Mingyi just had a small family and they did wrong towards such thing, so even if Wang Guifang came back with her son Xia Mingyi, the whole Wu family members would not get cold feet.
Full of overflowing wrath, Wang Guifang took it all out on Yang Liu, her daughter-in-law.
Yang Liu helplessly curled into a ball in the corner until they let off the steam and no extra energy left, she felt quite relieved.
This time, Yang Liu made up her mind to run away from this miserable home forever.
She really did it, fleeing in the night.
No one would bother to go outside at night especially living deep in the mountain unless no choice was left.
The beasts who wandered aimlessly at night were less scarier than the dark hearts who were living under the blue sky.
Nobody had a clue about Yang Liu's whereabouts but people only knew that it's originally hard for Xia Mingyi to take a wife but she was beaten away finally.
When Xia Mingyi and his family tried to find to Yang Liu in her parents' house, Yang Dali was infuriated.
Yang Dali couldn't believe how dare the Wu family members were before he settled an account with them as he thought that he married off her daughter to Xia family but his daughter was missing now.
No one got any news about Yang Liu yet. Xia Mingyi and his mother Wang Guifang didn't see Yang Liu in her parents' house and also didn't make a big mess facing a big Yang family. Both of them just came back home sulkily.
Such gossip reached to Su Jiuyue's ears as well. She couldn't help heaving a sigh. In her mind, parents' family controlled the first half life of women while husband's house determined women's rest of life.
Yang Liu was so wretched as she jumped out the frying pan of her parent's family into the fire of husband's family.
Sitting by the window, Su Jiuyue rested her chin on her hand, thinking if she were Yang Liu, she would flee either.
A bit worry rose in her mind. Yang Liu was forlorn now. It must be a tough road for her to wander outside alone.
Suddenly, Su's meditation was interrupted by someone unexpected.
The moment Tian Xiuniang came in, she directly threw the shoulder pole heavily on the ground and strode towards to central room.
"Mom! Mom! Xia family is going too far. That women, Wang Guifang don't let us fetch water from the well."
Su Jiuyue was startled by Tian's scream and shortly jumped off the stool, heading for the central room.
Liu Cuihua was sitting on the kang, making a padded jacket for Su Jiuyue. Hearing Tian Xiuniang's complaint, she also put aside her work and looked at the door.
"What? Don' t let us fetch the water? Is the well owned by themselves? Who do they think they are? Unbelievable!" Liu was also angry.
Su Jiuyue heard this when she came to the door and frowned.
The whole village lived on this only well. People here hadn't seen a raindrop for almost half a year and the river outside the village had been dead long before.
How could Xia family so high-handed that made such unreasonable deed?
Tian Xiuniang was in wrath and cried, "That well doesn't belong to them but unfortunately the well site is exactly next to their house. Right now, she just does such thing mercilessly. I don't know what I should do. Mom, my mom. Try to stop her!"
Liu Cuihua put away half-made clothes and patted the extra cotton fibers attached to her body, she said, "Come with me. Let the village head uphold the justice."
Undoubtedly, the village head was on Wu family side as that well was dug by most of villagers, not only by Xia family. They had no right to interfere.
Wu family and the village head rushed toward the village entrance. When they arrived, the well had long been surrounded by a bunch of onlookers.
The village head was from the Yang family, named Yang Fugui.
