Chapter 149 He is Lying
Liu Cuihua asked what happened, "What the hell is going on? Why did you do that in the New Year?"
Wu Xiyuan suddenly burst into tears, hugging Su Jiuyue on her shoulders and crying pitifully.
He didn't care about his image, and it seemed to have cried out his grievance of the two lifetimes.
When he cried, Su Jiuyue's heart softened, hugging him and coaxing him for a long time before asking softly, "Who bullied Xiyuan? Tell me, and I'll beat him up for you."
Wu Xiyuan shook his head and rubbed his chin on Su Jiuyue's shoulder nest, just like a furry little animal, making Su Jiuyue's neck and the tip of his heart itchy.
"What does this mean? No one is bullying you? Then it's you who's bullying people?"
Wu Xiyuan still shook his head and said in a low voice, "No one bullies me, but someone bullied you!"
It's not a shame to snitch, but it's a shame to talk badly about women behind them!
Su Jiuyue did not quite understand, and she had just been in the kitchen. Who had bullied her?
Huang's son was beaten like that, so she was even more furious, gritting her teeth and saying to Liu Cuihua, "Sister-in-law, your boy is stupid, so do you have to beat my Erzhu stupid too? His heart is too malicious, right? If it affects my son's future, I won't be over with you and your family!"
Liu Cuihua believed in her son. Xiyuan was pure-minded, tall but unclever. He never fought with others. How come did he only beat Wu Erzhu but other people in the room for no reason?
As Wu Erzhu started a rumor before, Liu Cuihua didn't rush to blame her son, but asked her very hard, "Hey, sister-in-law, you're too arbitrary, right? Not to mention the other, my Xiyuan sat here and did not move, but your Erzhu himself ran over. If he didn't provoke Xiyuan, would Xiyuan do that? Can you figure out what's going on before you decide whose fault?!"
After saying that, she turned around to Wu Xiyuan, "Don't be afraid, Xiyuan. Mom will support you. You just tell me how he bullied you. If it's his fault, mom will never blame you."
A clear-minded woman would have an enormous influence on her children and grandchildren, which Wu Xiyuan always knew.
His mother was such a person. If she was not born as a mother, she would certainly become a good official woman.
She would never be soft-hearted when her children made mistakes, but she would also never blame them without any reason. Therefore, even though the three brothers may have some small problems, they would be on the straight when it came to serious cases.
At that moment, Wu Xiyuan was like a child who had found his support. Raising his head from Su Jiuyue's shoulder and grunting at Wu Erzhu in a lofty manner, he said, "Mom, he said something bad about my wife! How terrible! I can't even say it!"
Liu Cuihua was no less fond of Su Jiuyue than her son, and when she knew that Erzhu said bad words to Su Jiuyue, Liu Cuihua was furious.
"Is that so? Wu Erzhu, what did you say about my daughter-in-law?!"
Wu Erzhu naturally couldn't say it in front of so many people, and he only wanted to blame Wu Xiyuan, "Don't listen to his nonsense. Wu Xiyuan is just a fool, and he knows nothing!"
Liu Cuihua doesn't like people saying her son is stupid. In her opinion, Wu Xiyuan just lost his memory for some time and went back to his childhood all of a sudden. His logic was normal, not to the point that he would babble.
Of course, Su Jiuyue didn't like it either. Look at how Xiyuan cried just now! He was aggrieved like that, but Erzhu was still said nonsense, simply shameless!
"Xiyuan has indeed forgotten something, but he is not a fool. If you have a clear conscience, do you dare to swear to heaven? If you say bad things about me, as Xiyuan said, you will never be a Xiucai in this life!"
At that time, people believed in God, so they do not dare to haphazardly swear. Let alone the imperial examination, which was a lifetime event.
Of course, Wu Erzhu wimped out.
Everyone was clear-eyed. Upon seeing how Erzhu behaved, they naturally knew who was lying.
Su Jiuyue looked at him with cold eyes and warned without delay, "It is said that after the Tongshi, there will be adults to examine the character of students. I hope that my second cousin has acted correctly all these years so that no one will find out something!"
Wu Chuan, as the head of the family, also spoke up at this time, "Brother, since you don't welcome our family, then I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."
He had declared his stand, so Chen Zhaodi and Tian Xiuniang hurriedly got their children and led them back home together.
Wu Zhong was also not very happy. It was just a few bad words about his daughter-in-law. His son was beaten like that, and they did not say anything, but the second family was still unforgiving.
They have been brothers for decades, just like that?
He was really angry in his heart, but at this time the second family had disappeared without even the slightest intention to turn back.
He entered the door with his hands behind his back and saw Mrs. Huang still watching, so he cursed, "What are you looking at? Don't you think it is shameful? The first day of the year is so unpleasant."
Mrs. Huang was also angry. Erzhu was her baby, and usually, she would not beat or scold him. Now he had been beaten like this, so she was very distressed.
She was worried that Erzhu's face would be broken and affect him later, so she hurriedly went to the kitchen to boil an egg and came back to treat his wound.
Erzhu cried out for pain. Mrs. Huang was distressed and angry, "How can this fool hit so hard? You, why do you provoke him?"
Erzhu was like the dumb man eating the bitter herb; he had to suffer in silence. Wu Xiyuan did not respond however he sneered at him and even teased him that he had no hope of passing the imperial examinations in his life, but who knew he would react so strongly this time?
"I am stupid. Next time I see him I will definitely stay away from him. He is just like a mad dog..."
Wu Xiyuan and his family came back to their own home, and they were also angry. Su Jiuyue didn't know what Erzhu actually said about herself. It should always be bad words, otherwise Xiyuan would not be angry like that.
She opened the sealed stove in the hall and added two more pieces of charcoal into it before she said to Wu Xiyuan, "We won't go to their house in the future, so don't be angry anymore, Xiyuan."
Wu Xiyuan enjoyed the taste of being protected by her, and he was no longer angry in his heart.
He beat hard at that time, so Wu Erzhu's face needed to recover for a long time. It was a good time for him to remember the lesson.
He nodded vigorously, "Xiyuan is not angry! My dear should not be angry because Xiyuan helps you out!"
Su Jiuyue was amused by him, with two eyes curved like two small moons, "Good, we are not angry. Today Xiyuan protects me! I can't even be happy. How can I be angry!"
