Because he thought it was just Liu Mei going crazy again. He was already used to Liu Mei abusing and scolding Xiu Jianlin wildly and making a scene. He had no idea that as soon as he walked into the yard, he would see a giant beast squatting at the entrance of their house. Perhaps hearing footsteps, it immediately turned its head to look over, and upon seeing him, it lifted the corners of its mouth, baring its teeth.
Wolf!
Itās the wolf raised by that bastard!
Xiu Chengās calves started trembling, and without thinking, he turned around and ran! He almost rolled and crawled!
"..." Rou Rou.
Shifted its big bottom, withdrew its gaze, and continued watching the scene inside the house.
By now, the Ruanlin Family had let go of Liu Mei. Liu Mei lay on the bed like a dead person, while the Ruanlin Family kept staring at her with a cold look: "Liu Mei, if I hear such dirty words from your mouth again next time, it wonāt be as simple as a beating. Iāll make it impossible for you to live in the entire Xiahe Village, do you believe it?"
Liu Mei, with a swollen mouth, looked at her, tears streaming down, already admitting defeat, nodding continuously.
Because she knew that what the Ruanlin Family said was true, and now the Ruan Family indeed had the capability.
The Ruanlin Family shifted their gaze from her to Xiu Jianlin: "Xiu Jianlin, Iāll give you a month. The money you owe our family, I donāt care if you have to sell your pots and pans or whatever, pay it back to me. Otherwise, your whole family will be sent to jail!"
Xiu Jianlinās face changed dramatically, his expression now worse than Liu Meiās when beaten.
When the Ruanlin Family came out of the Xiu Family house, the household living next to the Xiu Family had already heard the commotion and stood in their yard watching but didnāt come over.
Now seeing the Ruanlin Family coming out, the woman of that house immediately jogged over.
"Ruan Auntie, what happened?" As she spoke, she craned her neck to look into the Xiu Family house, but inside was pitch black and she couldnāt see anything.
The Ruanlin Family immediately restrained the malicious intent they had when facing the Xiu Family, wiped the corners of their eyes with some effort.
"Auntie, what happened, please donāt cry. Tell me about it, come sit at my house." The woman saw the Ruanlin Family wiping their tears and immediately tried to comfort them, then tilted her head and shouted at the man standing in the yard: "Husband, boil some water."
Turning her head, she spoke to Ruan Jianguo, "Ruan big brother, come over and sit, itās rare to see you come back, please sit for a while."
The Ruanlin Family did not refuse, and along with her pulling force, they went into their house and sat in the main room. Rou Rou curiously looked left and right, lifting its head, while the Ruanlin Family made a tearful and emotional complaint.
The Ruanlin Family always knew when to be strong and when to be weak and understood how terrible rumors could be. Afraid that before they returned to the city, Liu Mei would ruin their reputation in the countryside, they preemptively made an emotional complaint, wiping their tears, clutching their chest, and said to the woman: "Wu Family, we only have this one treasure, this serious illness almost took half my life, you say Liu Mei she... how could she..."
Stopping here, they seemed too hurt to continue.
The woman first cursed Liu Mei in a shared sense of injustice, then patted the Ruanlin Familyās hand in consolation: "Auntie, I understand, I understand, weāre all parents and elders, who wouldnāt understand? That Liu Mei just has a filthy mouth, donāt stoop to her level, itās not worth hurting your own health."
