Chapter 376 376: Old grudges
"What are you doing? These supplies are not yours. How can you take them?" Liu Che was speechless. He thought that these people would be thankful for the help that Bai Meiyue and the rest had given to them. But forget about thanking them; they offended Bai Meiyue and her team at their first meeting. How could they act like a monster?
Madam Ai had been beaten up by these people when she tried to stop them. She was crouching in a corner with her hair in a mess and her clothes torn in places. Fortunately, she was protected by Ciyi or else she would have been skinned alive by these people.
When she heard the voice of her son, she was so excited that she hurriedly got to her feet but before she could say anything, one of the old women planted her hands on her hips and then shouted at Liu Che, "Why can't we take these supplies? No one has their name written on it, do they?
The old woman's gaze fell on the two siblings and she sneered coldly when she saw that neither of them was wearing decent clothes on their bodies. "You should worry about yourself instead of us. With such broken bodies, I am afraid that your path will be even dirtier than ours."
Hearing those words, Liu Mei's face turned red. Her mind became even clearer as she stared at the old woman in front of her. She said to her, "Old Madam, what do you mean by those words? Why don't you say it outright? Please speak directly and don't beat around the bush."
Liu Che also raised his head and looked at the survivors with a cold look of contempt on his face. He had helped these people many times in the past and so had his father and yet now they were staring at them as if they were low-class hookers.
He said, "Don't forget that it was my mom and us who helped you. If we hadn't brought food for you every now and then, you would have starved to death. On what grounds are you capable of embarrassing us? And what do you mean by that, our path will be dirtier than yours? It was you who begged mother to join those people and said that if she didn't, then you all would die. Why is it that you are suddenly blaming her?"
Liu Che was truly disappointed. They were the ones who begged their mother to join Boss Yun and his team when Madam Rong came to force their mother into doing all kinds of dirty dealings. She threatened their lives along with the rest of the survivors and told their mother that if she did not help Boss Yun, then these people would be killed.
Thus, their mother had no choice but to step up.
Now that such a thing had happened, they were blaming their mother?
Some of the people who still had some conscience lowered their heads as they thought that there was indeed something wrong with what they did. However, the old woman didn't think that she was in the wrong. In her mind, the world was like this already. So, who cared about conscience and whatnot?
She stared at Liu Che and his sister, who were barely clothed and commented sinisterly, "Is it because of us, or is it because of you two fox spirits? You were the ones who charmed those higher-ups, making them enchanted. Now that things have become like this, you are blaming me? I would rather kill my children who were defiled rather than let them embarrass me like this."
As soon as the old woman finished speaking, Liu Mei's face turned pale. She recalled the ordeal that she had gone through. Although nothing happened, the signs told another story. How many people would believe that she did nothing wrong?
Seeing the worry on her daughter's face, Madam Ai panicked. Just now, she was glad that her children were back, but now, after she was done carefully checking them, she discovered that there were signs of assault on the body of her daughter and her son didn't look any better. Was she too late?
Bai Meiyue glanced at the old woman and stated, "There is no need for you to be so loud. We get it; you are jealous, aren't you?"
Though the old woman didn't say anything out loud, something about her expression made Bai Meiyue certain that there was something amiss between her and Madam Ai. The woman was not targeting the Liu siblings because she looked down on them but because she held a grudge against their mother.
The old woman's face turned red when she heard Bai Meiyue's words. She blinked her eyes and stared at the woman with a stubborn look on her face before saying, "What nonsense? Is that what your parents taught you? How can you be so disrespectful towards your elders?"
Indeed, she did have some grudge against Madam Ai.
Madam Ai and her daughter were both among the prettiest women in the army camp. Neither of them was worse than the other. Her daughter, Madam Ai and Master Liu grew up together, and she was certain that Master Liu would fall for her daughter, as she had a better background than Madam Ai.
The result? He married Madam Ai. That shameless vixen.
Her daughter was hit hard and she followed a small soldier before marrying him. Naturally, the troubles that her daughter faced were not light. Her pampered daughter was bullied by her mother-in-law and ended up having three miscarriages before giving birth to a son and passing away.
As for that small soldier, he married another woman under the pretext that he needed someone to take care of his son.
While her daughter was bullied left and right by her husband, Madam Ai was living a good life. If her daughter were the one who married Master Liu, things would have been different! It would be her daughter living a good life rather than Madam Ai.
What do you think?
