Chapter 62: Chapter 62: A Violent Confrontation Reveals the Past

Liu Yulan looked calmly at her sister-in-law, fearless and unafraid. She was no longer the little girl who ran away crying after being humiliated with a few words.

Wang Miaomiao couldn’t stand the fiery temper any longer. Just now, when Liu Jian Country was speaking sarcastically, she wanted to get up and retort, but her father stopped her.

Now seeing that this aunt wasn’t the kind one either, she began to attack her mother after a few words.

She couldn’t bear it any longer, stood up and said, “Mom, we’ve seen Uncle, let’s go back. The air here is terrible, with a sour smell, it’s uncomfortable to stay.”

Sun Xiuli was about to explode but was interrupted by Wang Miaomiao, who was even more infuriated by her words, “How can you talk like that, just like your mother…”

“It’s not for you to judge my mom.” Wang Miaomiao didn’t want to hear that woman’s harsh words, directly interrupted her, and turned to Liu Yufeng, “Uncle, since someone in this family doesn’t welcome us, we won’t stay any longer. We came only to visit you; we won’t serve others who don’t matter.”

“Mom, Dad… let’s go.” Wang Miaomiao frowned, rarely without a smile on her face.

Yang Zhigang watched the farce expressionlessly. As the son-in-law, he sometimes found it inappropriate to meddle in the Yue Family’s affairs. Seeing his sister-in-law use such a direct, confrontational approach to interrupt them, he found it both entertaining and practical.

What’s the point of talking to someone you dislike? It’s a waste of breath. He directly stood up and laughed, “Uncle, we won’t disturb you anymore.”

Yang Zhigang walked to the door, and at the doorway, he was blocked by Liu Jian Country. He stood in front of him, radiating an intense aura, expressionless, “Please step aside.”

Liu Jian Country felt he was being looked down upon, a pressure that made him step aside involuntarily.

Yang Zhigang turned sideways, “Mom, Dad, let’s go,” showing a protective posture.

Liu Yulan didn’t hesitate, got up, and walked out. As she passed Liu Yufeng, she softly said, “Brother, I’ll leave first, and see you next time.”

Liu Yufeng looked desolate, full of bitterness. Whether it was years ago or now, he hadn’t been able to protect his sister. He felt ashamed in front of their parents…

“Yulan…” Liu Yufeng chased after her.

“Liu Yufeng, come back here!” Sun Xiuli screamed to stop him. She chased after him, standing in the corridor shouting, “If you step out of this building today, don’t come back. If you care so much about your sister, just go with her. Liu Yulan, you shameless little wretch, ran off with some wild man when you were so young, driving your mother to death, you… ah…”

“Dad… why are you hitting Mom.”

Liu Yufeng grabbed Sun Xiuli’s hair and slammed it against the wall, he was enraged, “Sun Xiuli, you venomous woman. My sister was deceived by a country man trying to save my dad. She’s already so pitiful, and you still want to ruin her reputation, targeting her everywhere. Don’t you have any conscience at all?”

Liu Yulan and the others didn’t go far, just stood at the stairway watching. Wang Baoxing’s face was filled with mixed emotions, looking indescribably unpleasant, with shame flashing in his eyes.

Wang Miaomiao’s heart skipped a beat upon seeing this.

However, Liu Yulan showed no expression, whether Sun Xiuli cursed her or Liu Yufeng defended her, she seemed to have no emotional fluctuation.

Of course, Liu Jian Country couldn’t watch his mother being hit by his father, so he intervened and separated them.

Sun Xiuli’s hair was disheveled, about to explode in rage. Yet she saw Liu Yufeng squatting on the ground, wailing, “Dad, Mom, your son has let you down… Didn’t take care of little sister, and let her be humiliated by our family. Dad, I’ve failed you, you were sick but I couldn’t be by your side, and let sister sell herself to raise money for your treatment, I’m not fit to be your son, not fit to be sister’s brother, I’m useless… Being oppressed by a woman all my life…”

“Dad, stop crying, aren’t you embarrassed.” Liu Jian Country was about to go mad, with this commotion, the whole building knew about their family mess. If this got to the office, he might get labeled and have stones thrown at him.

Liu Jian Country dragged Liu Yufeng and Sun Xiuli back home, closed the door, inside the house, there were still sounds of crying and arguing, but they were not very distinct.

“Let’s go.” Liu Yulan turned around and walked away first.

In silence, they returned to the compound. After getting in the car, Yang Zhigang hesitated, “Mom, where to now? How about we find a hotel to stay first, and then visit Second Uncle in the afternoon?”

“Alright.” Liu Yulan appeared calm, but surely she was somewhat affected.

The car soon arrived at a hotel in J city, and they booked two rooms. One for men, one for women.

“Come in, I know you have questions, since so much has been revealed today, it’s pointless to hide it from you anymore, saves you from guessing.” Liu Yulan opened the door, letting them in.

Seeing her and Wang Baoxing in a bad mood, Wang Miaomiao suggested, “Mom, why don’t you nap for a while, it’s not too late to talk about this later.”

“Your mom said to come in.” Wang Baoxing frowned deeply, sighed continuously, and finally spoke about the unspeakable things he did back then, “Your uncle was right, at that time, I indeed acted unscrupulously, took advantage of others. I came to J city to buy medicine for your great-grandfather back then…”

From the narration of Wang Baoxing and Liu Yulan, they learned about the events of that year.

That year, Liu Yulan’s father suddenly had a medical emergency, hospitalization drained the family’s savings yet still wasn’t enough for the surgery, leaving Liu Yulan deeply anxious. After hearing a fellow patient’s family member’s suggestion at the hospital, she considered marrying someone in exchange for betrothal money to save her father.

Liu Yulan had just graduated from junior high, was overly protected, and had too little experience. Plus, being pressured by hospital demands and anxiety, she agreed to the idea.

That woman was, of course, not kind, she noticed Liu Yulan’s good looks, just in time as someone had asked her to find a pretty girl. A family had a foolish son, willing to pay for a virgin to be their daughter-in-law.

At that time, Wang Baoxing was buying medicine for his grandfather at the J city hospital, overhearing the conversation between the two women. He originally didn’t intend to interfere, but by chance, he saw Liu Yulan and found out she was the girl about to be deceived and sold.

He was momentarily tempted, having just lost his wife, could he buy her instead? He approached Liu Yulan, claiming to be the one she was meant to meet, asking how much dowry she’d take to marry him.

Liu Yulan stated five hundred, and Wang Baoxing gritted his teeth and went back home to scrape together money, writing IOUs all over, eventually gathering enough as dowry.

The money was handed over, but Grandpa Liu still died on the operating table. Grandma Liu, already heartbroken over losing her husband, upon learning their daughter sold herself for five hundred, fainted immediately.

Fearing complications, Wang Baoxing had cunningly already obtained a marriage certificate when he handed over the money.
