Chapter 135 She Was Back Home
Wu Xiyuan didn't gather his sense until he heard Su Jiuyue.
When looking at the yeard again, he found Yang Liu, who was contending against her father and brother, was like a rooster full of fight and showed no timidity on her face.
It seemed that this was a real Yang Liu, and what he had seen just now was merely a dream.
He slightly moved his head to one side and didn't understand what was the matter with him.
"I'm fine. Are they going to fight?" Wu Xiyuan asked.
Su Jiuyue spoke close to his ear and covered her mouth with one hand to lower her voice, "They will not get into fighting. The chief is coming."
Just then, they heard a powerful sound, "What are you doing here?"
Wu Xiyuan opened his mouth in surprise and then quickly covered it. He whispered to Su Jiuyue, "Awesome! Honey, how do you know it?"
Su Jiuyue smiled at Wu Xiyuan, who was gazing at her full of worship. She could only shake her head, "I saw someone tip off the chief."
Wu Xiyuan nodded to show her he had understood and said, "Awesome! I didn't see it."
Su Jiuyue and Wu Xiyuan were speaking. They didn't notice where Tian Xiuniang was.
Su Jiuyue looked around and found that she had been in the front of the crowd.
Yang Dali was bad-tempered, and almost all women in his family were beaten by him. But now, his daughter was so rebellious that decided to split with her family.
It made him lose his face in front of so many people. How could he bear it?
But he was afraid that Yang Liu would really ask these guys to beat him regardless of the kinship. He would be more embarrassed by then.
The chief came in time, and it gave him an out. So he immediately told on his daughter.
"Sir, my daughter wants to break off with me. I've struggled to raise her but now she's going to split with me."
The chief, Yang Fugui, was traditional, and he held the view that parents were always right. Although Yang Dali sometimes beat Yang Liu badly, she should bear it since she was the daughter. Besides, parents experienced much hardship during bringing up children, so beating them was normal. She shouldn't end the relationship with her family.
"Yang Liu, is it true?" Yang Fugui asked deeply.
Yang Liu had been afraid of Yang Fugui before. But she had seen how Mr. Cui behaved these days. Therefore, she was not intimidated by him this time.
Yang Liu sat on the stool again and held her hairpin. She said calmly, "Yes. I gave them twenty-two taels of silver altogether to buy back my freedom. It's quite enough, right? And, all I ask for is to end the relationship with them."
Yang Fugui frowned when listening to her. Moreover, he thought Yang Liu offended him because she was sitting to speak to him. He shouted, "Kneel down."
But Yang Liu didn't. She said, "Don't try to intimidate me in this way. I neither belong to this village nor to this family. None of your business!"
"You think you no longer obey me, don't you? Even though you are living better now, you are one of our family. You can't forget your origin."
Yang Liu sneered and asked, "Don't forget my origin? What is the origin? Where are you when I was beaten badly? Where are you when I was forced to marry Xia Mingyi?"
She continued, "I'm nothing in your eyes, and I'm only used to get you some money. But today, I'll let you see I will have a better life without you."
Yang Fugui, with a tobacco pipe in his hand, was so furious that his hand was trembling, "Black sheep! Get out! Don't come back!"
Yang Liu stood up and said loudly to the crowd, "Now that you are here, please witness for me. I leave here myself not driven away by them. I'll never have any connection with them from now on!"
She took a pair of scissors from her maid while speaking. And then, she cut off one piece of her gown.
"The piece of the gown I cut off is like me. I'll break off all relations with my family from now on."
She threw it on the ground. The dark red cloth gradually mixed with the blood that Wu Xiyuan had seen...
He winked his eyes and saw Yang Liu's mum rushing to the corpse and crying. And then, he saw Yang Liu leaving with her head held high.
While he was confused, Su Jiuyue suddenly pinched his hand, "Cool."
Wu Xiyuan gathered his sense and repeated, "Yes, she's cool."
It suddenly occurred to Su Jiuyue that Yang Liu was his ex-fiancee.
It annoyed her, and she muttered, "Are you still thinking about her?"
Wu Xiyuan was in a muddle and couldn't keep up with her. He gazed at Su Jiuyue with confusion, "Thinking about what?"
His response reminded Su Jiuyue that he was only a child. She shouldn't have talked it with him.
But on second thought, what if he remembered everything? Would he think about Yang Liu if he remembered all the things in the past?
The more depressed she felt, the more she thought of it. When she was about to leave, she saw two people rush towards the crowd.
"It's her. She's here. It cost me two taels of silver to marry her. She ran away in the end! I won't let you go this time."
One of them continued, "Because of you, we can't go home and suffered a lot. What a jinx!"
They were Xia Mingyi and his mother, Wang Guifang. She looked quite furious. If people of the Yangs were not here, she would have beaten Yang Liu right away.
Yang Fugui was angrier when seeing them, "Why are you here?"
"Why not? We are living here! How do we know she has returned if we don't come? Mr. Yang, I'm looking for my wife. It's none of your business!" Xia Mingyi said aggressively.
When looking at Yang Liu, Xia Mingyi found she was dressed gorgeously like the girl in a painting and was not rustic anymore. He was quite satisfied with what she looked like right now.
"Go back with me. I'll forgive you otherwise I'll break your leg."
Yang Liu was not that hardhearted to her parents, but she would not show any mercy to Xia Mingyi and his mother.
She decided to do the same thing to them that they had done to her.
"Beat up them! Break their leg! Do what they wished"
