Xia Chuyi still remembered when Chang Luhui first called her, telling her about the situation in Ling County and saying that it wasnât very serious.
At that time, Xia Chuyi was waiting for Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia in Capital City, so she had no plans to go back to Ling County at the moment.
"Actually, the conflict wasnât completely resolved..." Chang Luhui shook his head and said to Xia Chuyi, "And your mother, her injuries hadnât fully healed when she went back to Heshan Village and collided head-on with your elder aunt."
"So, your elder aunt went at her again," Chang Yonghui said with a helpless spread of his hands.
Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi immediately furrowed her brow.
"So much friction in such a short time?" Xia Chuyi raised an eyebrow and asked Chang Luhui, "Director Chang, did you find out exactly why they had these conflicts?"
Xia Chuyi was quite curious about the cause of the incidents.
"Of course," Chang Luhui nodded and said to her, "About that..."
Chang Luhui had just begun to speak when he paused and looked at Xia Chengzong.
He knew about Xia Chengzongâs "special status."
"Cough cough, this matter, is related to Brother Chengzongâs adoption into the second branch..." Chang Luhui scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed as he spoke to Xia Chuyi.
Chang Luhui said, "Your elder aunt... Itâs still because of Brother Chengzongâs adoption into the second branch that she harbors resentment against the second branch, holding a grudge against your mother."
Xia Chuyiâs brows deepened upon hearing what Chang Luhui said.
"Is it just because of that?" she asked Chang Luhui.
Is it that simple?
For some reason, Xia Chuyi had an inexplicable intuition, feeling as if there was more to the story.
After all, this conflict didnât arise overnight, so why did it suddenly explode over these few days?
Xia Chuyi met Chang Luhuiâs gaze directly and asked, "What was the specific catalyst?"
Chang Luhui understood Xia Chuyiâs meaning and nodded slightly before continuing: "The catalyst for this incident was your elder aunt hearing about Xia Chengzong going to Capital City with your uncle."
"What?" Xia Chu blurted out in surprise, "Just because of that?"
Chang Luhui nodded seriously, "Just because of that."
After that, Chang Luhui composed his thoughts before continuing: "Itâs like this, your mother came across your elder aunt in the village and mentioned a few things about Xia Chengzong going to Capital City."
"Just some talk about âChengzong is doing well in the second branch, heâs very promising,â âElder sister-in-law, you can rest assured, Chengzongâs future will certainly be better in the second branch.â"
"Sigh, upon hearing this, your elder aunt got angry on the spot and clashed with your mother."
When speaking this part, Chang Luhuiâs eyes kept darting towards Xia Chengzong.
One could see Xia Chengzongâs expression growing worse and worse...
Xia Chuyi also became somewhat worried and glanced at her brother a few times.
Chang Luhui understood Xia Chengzongâs suffering, but he sighed and knew he still needed to continue speaking.
"This first time, your elder aunt didnât hit very hard, and the hospital checkup showed that your mother only suffered some superficial skin injuries," Chang Luhui said.
"Then..." Chang Luhui suddenly shook his head and sighed, "Your mother didnât listen to the doctorâs advice and went back to Heshan Village immediately after the checkup."
"This time back, she bumped into your elder aunt again in the village," Chang Luhui said with a look of helplessness.
