Chapter 621: Liu Ling was made the cannon fodder of life (6)
The Luo Family was completely stunned by Luo Ning’s audacious move.
They hadn’t expected the dead girl to be not only ruthless towards others, but also towards herself.
By the ti they reacted, it was already too late to stop her.
Old Mrs. Luo was so angry she felt like vomiting blood, the dead girl had actually used the trick she intended to use, making her feel extrely frustrated.
They absolutely couldn’t let the dead girl go out and tarnish both her and the family’s reputation.
Instinctively, she stood up, lifted her foot, and rushed out to catch Luo Ning.
Naturally, she was also holding the kitchen knife that Luo Ning had forcefully given her.
The others felt the sa way; they couldn’t let Luo Sanya, that crazy girl, go out and ruin their reputation, so they all chased after her.
Their faces were filled with anger and fierceness.
Then, the villagers who had hurried over saw Luo Sanya, who had always been treated like a little workhorse by the Luo Family, running towards them with a face pale as death, full of blood and panic.
Behind her chased the fierce Old Mrs. Luo wielding a kitchen knife, along with her sons.
One could tell at a glance who was gentle and who was strong.
“Help! Captain, everyone, please save !” Luo Ning saw the captain and imdiately rushed towards him.
The Luo Family was one of the better-off houses in the village, so they lived not far from the captain’s house, surrounded by other households.
This was also why Luo Ning had staged this act—if the Luo Family had lived too remotely, whom would she have perford for with so much effort?
The captain was also shocked by Luo Ning’s appearance and quickly stepped forward to et her.
Then, instinctively, he stood in front of Luo Ning and glared at Old Mrs. Luo approaching with the knife, “What are you doing? Is there no law anymore?”
People always sympathize more with the underdog, especially given the original and Old Mrs. Luo’s past behavior and reputation in the village, which were starkly opposite.
One was timid and easy to bully, the other fierce, sharp-tongued, loved to take advantage of others, and enjoyed exploiting her granddaughter.
After seeing this scene, the villagers instinctively sided with Luo Ning.
Old Mrs. Luo, seeing the captain’s reaction, had a bad feeling.
According to her original plan, the captain should have sided with her.
Imdiately trying to redy the situation, she panted, “Captain, you must stand up for !”
“This dead girl actually tried to kill , just now she ca at with a kitchen knife and knocked down, trying to slit my throat.”
She erupted in a tearless cry, “What sins have I committed, to have such a heartless granddaughter who wants to kill her own grandmother?”
The other Luo Family mbers quickly echoed in agreent, “Yes, yes, this dead girl wanted to kill her grandmother and even threatened us.”
“We all saw it, she wanted to kill her own grandmother.”
“Captain, quickly have her arrested and put in jail, if this crazy girl remains in the village, what if she carelessly starts slashing people?”
Several people clamored together, wishing the captain would imdiately arrest her and send her to the police station.
The captain and the villagers looked at the fierce Luo Family mbers, and Luo Sanya, trembling and crying with a face as pale as death: “…”
It wasn’t yet certain who was chopping whom and who ought to be taken to the police station.
The captain didn’t believe the words of Old Mrs. Luo and others, and felt even more that this family wasn’t worth watching, the contrast between the two sides was too stark.
He turned to Luo Ning and asked, “Sanya, what’s going on here? Did you really try to chop your grandmother?”
Before Luo Ning could answer, the old lady imdiately scread, “Of course it’s true, I still have the cut and the blood on my neck.”
After saying that, she even deliberately tilted her chin up, exposing her neck.
The captain and the villagers looked at her smooth neck, without a single drop of blood or a wound: “…”
Old Mrs. Luo had to make her act convincing!
At this mont, Luo Ning’s voice trembled with fear, “I, I did not, it was, it was Grandma who wanted, wanted to kill .”
The brigade captain was already leaning toward Luo Ning, “Why would your grandma want to kill you?”
Luo Ning cried and said, “Yesterday, my aunt insisted on taking fishing, and when we got to the riverbank, I don’t know why, she just pushed into the river.”
“I struggled and almost died before she finally called my cousin, who had been hiding nearby, to pull out of the river.”
“After returning ho yesterday, I started running a high fever, and Wuya, seeing how badly I was burning up today, went to beg Grandma to give so money to send to the clinic.”
“But Grandma disagreed and even scolded Wuya, saying that it would be better if a star of ill on like burned to death; it would save on food.”
“She also said she was afraid I would survive and ruin my aunt’s reputation.”
“When I woke up this afternoon and had a little strength, I got out of bed and went to the yard.”
“Then when Grandma and the others ca back and saw, my aunt scolded for being able to get out of bed and not looking for work, and Grandma ca rushing over to hit .”
Luo Ning continued crying with a face devoid of the will to live, “I really couldn’t take it anymore. Over the years, my sister and I did a lot of work, and even went to earn work points, but we never had enough food or clothes at ho.”
“Only my aunt could eat the wheat germ and biscuits that my parents usually brought.”
“The fabric and cotton were also only used to make clothes for my aunt.”
“My sister and I had also been tolerant, since they are our elders.”
“But my aunt wanted dead, pushing into the river, and Grandma wouldn’t even get dical help when I had a high fever.”
“I said I’d take my sister and leave the family; we couldn’t bear it anymore or else we might die without even knowing how.”
“Grandma and the others did not allow it, so I said if they did not allow it, I would go out and tell about my aunt pushing into the river, and I would go to the police.”
“Upon hearing this, they scolded again but eventually agreed.”
“Grandma and my aunt also said that just dividing the family wasn’t enough, they wanted us to completely sever ties with the Luo Family, claiming we were stars of ill on.”
“I agreed and asked my aunt to write the breakup letter and also proposed that they divide the food and money my sister and I had earned among us.”
“Grandma and the others agreed on the surface.”
“But as soon as I got the breakup letter, Grandma ca out of the kitchen chasing with a kitchen knife.”
“She wouldn’t allow to speak about my aunt pushing into the river and refused to give us any food.”
“She said to take the breakup letter and quickly take my sister and scram, or she would just kill outright.”
“I was terrified after being hacked a few tis, afraid I would really be killed, so I ran out yelling for help.”
“Grandma then chased with the knife, and my uncles also tried to catch to beat to death.”
“Wuu wuu, why is my fate so bitter, having parents is just like having none, everything belongs to my aunt.”
“My sister and I are just like grass by the roadside, even if we are not hacked to death today, we will sooner or later be starved or worked to death.”
Only by bringing out the breakup letter written by Luo Ning could this scenario be convincingly resolved.
Suddenly, Luo Ning threw herself to the ground, crying desperately with her whole body trembling.
Covered in her own blood, starved and frail as well as wearing a look of utter despair, she just fell short of singing about the yellowing veggies in the field…
No matter how pitiable she managed to look, it still wasn’t enough.
At this mont, Wuya also snapped back to reality.
Although she was scared by her sister’s sudden madness and didn’t understand why her sister had acted that way,
she knew that if her sister was successfully captured and taken ho by Old Madam Luo and the others, death might indeed be the only outco waiting.
She was utterly confused, if they really did leave the family and sever ties, how could they sisters survive?
Yet, she also inexplicably experienced a thread of longing and anticipation, could they really escape that ho where there was endless work, never enough food or warmth, and constant scolding every day?
