Chapter 193: Chapter 193: You’re Done!
“You all are not welco here!”
Old Guan, upon seeing the arrivals, picked up the broom from the corner of the wall to drive them away.
Tang Chuxia quickly went over to help with Wang Aihong and the others.
Especially Wang Aihong, who rushed at those people yelling, “Get lost! Who let you in?”
Tang Chuxia was puzzled; she rembered that at the previous alumni gathering, Old Guan was quite alright with these people. How co he lost his temper so suddenly?
Wang Aihong whispered to her, “Don’t just stand there stunned, let’s drive them out first. If Old Guan gets worked up again, it’ll just be more trouble during the New Year!”
Tang Chuxia acknowledged, but although they were trying to chase them away, the group opposite had evidently co prepared.
“Old Guan, we also ca out of concern to visit you; there’s no reason to turn guests away, is there?”
The sharp voice was extrely unpleasant, especially with the arrogance of that tilted head; it was nothing but contemptuous.
Tang Chuxia still rembered the things this woman did at the alumni eting, and imdiately sneered back, “What kind of guest could you possibly be?”
Liu ijuan exploded, “How are we not guests? The arrival of a guest should be welcod, don’t you even understand this simple principle?”
A slimy-looking guy next to Liu ijuan laughed sneeringly, “She didn’t go to college, how would she know such a thing!”
Liu ijuan slapped her thigh, “Oh dear, look at my mory, I forgot our class beauty Missy didn’t take the college entrance exam, missing it twice in a row, what a pity!”
Wang Aihong, brandishing the stick in her hand, shouted, “Stop disgusting us, everyone knows Xiaxia couldn’t take the college entrance exam because she was ill. If she had taken it, you’d be hiding in a corner crying!”
Old Guan’s face was stern, “Get out, my house doesn’t welco you!”
Liu ijuan scoffed, “Old Guan, we’re just looking out for you. We’ve told you before, to move out early; this house will soon not be yours anymore!”
Old Guan’s face looked very awful.
Wang Aihong waved her stick, “As long as the deeds haven’t transferred, it’s still Old Guan’s; don’t be so ruthless, Liu ijuan, or you might get your couppance soday.”
Liu ijuan kicked a stool by her feet, “I’ll get my couppance? More like you will! What good does it do you to help the father of a murderer? If it weren’t for the fact that he taught for a couple of days, I wouldn’t have let him stay until the New Year!”
Old Guan sat despairingly on the ground, while Tang Chuxia was still completely clueless.
She didn’t understand what had happened, how could Old Guan suddenly have a son who was a murderer?
Seeing Old Guan depleted of his spirit, disdain in her eyes, Liu ijuan turned to Tang Chuxia again, “Idiot!”
Tang Chuxia had long found Liu ijuan unpleasant, but had not expected her to be so arrogant.
She knew well the kind of person Old Guan was, and besides, Old Guan’s son had gone to the countryside as part of a re-education program. How could he be involved with Liu ijuan?
Tang Chuxia, who was usually all smiles and liked by everyone, had a cold expression on her face today.
She took a few steps forward and reached Liu ijuan’s face, slapping her four tis in quick succession, so fast that Liu ijuan couldn’t even defend herself.
The sting on her face drove Liu ijuan mad.
She instructed the people who ca with her to smash up the courtyard, insisting that they make Tang Chuxia and the others pay the price, even at the expense of the courtyard’s contents.
But they obviously didn’t know the fighting strength of Tang Chuxia.
Tang Chuxia was infuriated by the arrogance of Liu ijuan and her cronies. Regardless of what cri Old Guan’s son had committed, dragging the parents into it was despicable.
She instructed Wang Aihong and the others to hold back Old Guan and his wife, while she furiously kicked the intruders.
Indeed, she kicked Liu ijuan and her group so hard they were screaming and wailing, paying particular attention to Liu ijuan, whose face swelled up like a pig’s head.
“You’ll wait; this isn’t over!”
Liu ijuan was carried away by the people she brought with her.
They knew continuing the fight would only result in them getting crippled.
Once the intruders had fled, Old Guan and his wife sat disconsolately on the side.
It was only then that Tang Chuxia learned from Wang Aihong what had recently happened to the Guan Family.
It turned out that Old Guan’s youngest son and Liu ijuan’s brother had gone to the sa place to do manual labor as `educated youths`, but the two had a conflict over a woman, and during the altercation, Old Guan’s son stabbed Liu ijuan’s brother.
The man didn’t die.
He was just seriously injured.
The Liu Family pressured the Guan Family for compensation.
Old Guan had no other choice, having only one house.
To save his son, Old Guan naturally had no choice but to mortgage the house to the Liu Family.
After hearing about this incident, Tang Chuxia rubbed her chin, “What did the police say?”
Wang Aihong gave a bitter smile, “After all, soone was injured, and a knife was involved. As long as the Liu Family doesn’t press charges and receives satisfactory compensation, they might not sentence the junior brother!”
That’s what they all called Old Guan’s son.
Old Guan rubbed his face, “It’s embarrassing for you youngsters to see this farce! It’s no big deal, just a place to live. The house was quite empty anyway. It’s just as well that your master’s wife and I move into the dormitory!”
But his eyes clearly showed reluctance.
After all, this was the house he had lived in for decades. No one wanted to give that up.
Tang Chuxia asked again, “Was Liu ijuan’s brother badly injured?”
Upon hearing this, Old Guan felt helpless, “We haven’t even seen him to this date, as soon as we go to the hospital, they kick us out!”
Tang Chuxia felt even more that there was sothing fishy going on.
“Old Guan, don’t worry just yet. Let’s not rush about the house. I can find a way to see the junior brother first!”
While Wang Aihong comforted Old Guan, Tang Chuxia also said, “Right, let’s first find out what exactly happened to the junior brother. Don’t get too worked up yourself. Liu ijuan can be as arrogant as she wants, but as long as the police have not made a final judgent, there’s still a way!”
What was ant to be a visit to deliver a plaque to Old Guan, turned into stumbling upon such an incident, which disgusted Tang Chuxia again.
She and Wang Aihong left the Guan Family’s ho and just as they stepped out of the alley, they saw Liu ijuan waiting at the door.
Liu ijuan was covering her face, looking particularly wretched.
“Tang Chuxia, you’d better not ddle, or else there’s no one who can protect you!”
There was resentnt in Liu ijuan’s eyes, yet Tang Chuxia sensed sothing unusual.
Was Liu ijuan waiting here just to make threats instead of getting her wounds treated?
It seed unlikely.
She didn’t believe Liu ijuan’s hatred for her could be so terrifying.
Tang Chuxia signaled Wang Aihong not to worry. She approached Liu ijuan, grabbed her by the shoulders, and held her so she didn’t dare to move. Tang Chuxia then whispered a warning in her ear, “Right now, there’s no one who can protect you!”
Liu ijuan shivered, but quickly recovered her composure.
“Tang Chuxia, do you know what your biggest flaw is?”
Tang Chuxia straightened her hair, “Too beautiful?”
Liu ijuan gritted her teeth.
She knew that confronting Tang Chuxia would make her furious.
“Your biggest flaw is that you’re too confident!”
Tang Chuxia: …
Perhaps that was a bit true?
“Yes, my flaw is also your flaw, you know!”
Liu ijuan suddenly laughed, but the smile strained her wound, contorting her face, and she pushed Tang Chuxia away.
“Tang Chuxia, you’re finished!”
