Chapter 660: 660 Don’t be the first bird to stick its head out.
Everyone laughed after hearing.
Xiao Ailiu scoffed, “Isn’t the piece of meat in Liu Haitang’s belly taken by Wealthy Wan? What’s so interesting about petty and stale gossip?” If it weren’t for her second brother’s involvement back then, the Xiao Family’s reputation wouldn’t have suffered, and she wouldn’t have had such a hard time getting married.
She led the crowd towards the Xiao Family, and everyone saw a lively show to watch. This could be a deadly spectacle, so they all followed her to the Xiao Family.
When Xiao Ailiu saw that everyone had followed, she thought about how Chuan had beaten her half to death, and her bones and internal organs were still hurting…
The more pain a person feels, the more awake they become. She had been alive for 26 years and wasn’t an inexperienced young girl. Thinking about how Chuan had beaten her to death made her feel terrified.
Chuan clearly risked his life to protect Su Qingyue, and if she led this event again…
Chances are that Su Qingyue wouldn’t be soaked in a pig cage yet, but she might be beaten to death by Chuan.
With this in mind, Xiao Ailiu decided not to move forward.
Aunt Qi still wanted to see someone die in the Xiao Family, “Xiao Ailiu, why don’t you go any further?”
Xiao Ailiu looked at the increasing number of villagers coming to watch the excitement. She was a calculating person; by now, almost the whole village knew about Su Qingyue’s affair with Li Gui. Su Qingyue’s adultery would definitely be known by her three younger brothers soon.
At that time, Su Qingyue would still die, so why should she take the lead in causing trouble? She could end up being killed by her third brother and be known as someone who harmed her sister-in-law as soon as she returned…
The more she thought about it, the more unprofitable it seemed.
She decided to endure it for now and let someone else expose this ‘big’ news.
Having thought about it, Xiao Ailiu immediately changed her face, and eagerly took Wang Cuihua’s hand, “Fuquan’s wife, you’re right. As the eldest sister, how can I not help my sister-in-law? It wasn’t me who witnessed Su Qingyue’s adultery firsthand. Who knows if it’s true or not? I won’t talk about this anymore and pretend not to know.”
Wang Cuihua looked suspiciously at her changed face. This woman had just been slandering Su Qingyue viciously, and now all of a sudden…
Aunt Qi thought it was strange, “Xiao Ailiu, can you really bear not to tell such a big secret?”
“Sister Xiao, your three younger brothers have suffered such a great loss. Your sister-in-law has had an affair, and yet you won’t tell them? That’s not right!” Liu Xianglian was getting anxious.
Xiao Ailiu already knew that Liu Xianglian had always liked Chuan, so there was no need for her to get involved, “What’s the use of saying anything? It has nothing to do with me.”
With a single push, “I’m going for a walk nearby.” She deliberately glanced at the dozen or so people, “Yo! So many people, are you all going to my house to play? I have other things to do. You guys go ahead.”
With that, she walked down another forked road.
“What a cunning woman Xiao Ailiu is, she obviously doesn’t want to be the one to break the news…” Liu Xianglian also figured it out. She had originally wanted to use Sister Xiao’s help to make the matter bigger and convict Su Qingyue of being soaked in a pig cage. With such a big scandal as adultery, even if Su Qingyue’s life was spared, she would definitely be sold by the Xiao Family.
“Why don’t you break the news then?” Aunt Qi looked at Liu Xianglian’s unwilling face.
“How can I, as an unmarried girl, go…” Liu Xianglian was calculating; if the Xiao Family had 300 taels, and the three brothers shared them, Chuan would also get one hundred taels, and that would be enough to marry her. She didn’t want to upset Chuan because of this.
She had the same idea as Sister Xiao; this matter would definitely come to light soon, and someone else could take the risk.
