Chapter 178 How dare you curse me...
The others nodded curiously when they heard this. Xia Mo had a rosy complexion and bright eyes, and he didn't look like he had been in jail.
Xia Mo withdrew his gaze from Yu and smiled at them, "We did go there last night, but the county magistrate was very wise and brave. Brother Ling and I were questioned and the case was solved quickly, so we returned overnight."
"So that's what happened. I'm glad you're back. Haha... Auntie, I'm fine too. I was just passing by and came to see when I heard Old Lady Liu yelling." Auntie said with a silly smile, looking like a kind person.
Xia Mo didn't expect this aunt to be so straightforward. He glanced at Yu, who had a sullen face, and then laughed.
When the others heard Xia Mo's explanation of what had happened, they all showed expressions of wonder, and echoed a few words at once.
"The county magistrate is really amazing. He solved the case so quickly. But brother Ze, I was really shocked to see you at home suddenly..."
"Yes, yes, fortunately it was a false alarm..."
"..."
They said that Ze Ge'er had a soft personality, and although Ling Chuan looked cold on weekdays, they, the people of Liujia Village, would never do such a heinous thing as trafficking decent girls.
For a moment, all the villagers present were happy that Xia Mo and Ling Chuan were fine, except Yu, who had a tense face and stared at Xia Mo, with wrinkles all over her face like ravines.
Yu secretly hated in her heart: I didn't expect this little bastard to be so lucky. He was caught by the officials and could come back unharmed. She was really careless this time.
Thinking of this, Yu angrily glanced at the people who were talking and laughing with Xia Mo, and then wanted to sneak away when no one was paying attention, but was stopped by Xia Mo.
After hearing this call, Yu, who was tiptoeing around, suddenly felt like a thorn in her back. She didn't know whether to leave or not.
The aunts and others suddenly remembered what she had just shouted about, and all looked at her in shock.
Oh, how could they forget that just now Old Lady Liu was saying that the village chief wanted to seize the Ling family's property. Now it seems that the people inside are clearly Ze Ge'er and Ling Chuan, so isn't she slandering them?
In an instant, the aunts and the others all thought of Liu Baolian's rumor-mongering and framing Ze Ge'er, and they couldn't help but be shocked.
Could it be that this bad character is also passed down from one generation to the next? Wait, that's not right, after all, Ze Ge'er is different!
Seeing their reaction, Xia Mo curled his lips slightly, and a dark light flashed in his smart starry eyes.
To be honest, it is the best thing for him that Yu Shi picked a fight with his family at this critical moment and offended Liu Zheng to death, which is completely beneficial to him and has no harm at all.
The more they do, the more benefits he will gain in the future.
So he raised his eyes and stared at Yu who was forced to stay and turned around to glare at him, frowning and said, "Old Lady Liu, I heard everything you said. I think I need to make it clear to you that Brother Ling and I left in a hurry last night, so we had to trouble the village chief to help us look after our things. It's not like you said that you want to occupy my things."
Yu Shi was embarrassed to hear him say that, but she still refused to admit it: "I am your grandmother! Even though I have severed my relationship with you, I am still worried about you, so I came here to see you."
"Is that really the case?" Xia Mo asked back. He paused, then lowered his eyelids slightly, looking a little helpless.
"Never mind, just treat it as a misunderstanding. However, the village chief is a fair man and has always been considerate of all of us, so even if we are in danger, he will let us do with our belongings."
"How can this be possible! You are not related at all..." Yu loudly rejected it without even thinking. By the time she realized what was going on, the others had already shown what was going on.
"I was wondering why she came here to make a fuss so early in the morning. It turns out she is the one who does not do anything without a profit. It really opens my eyes. It's rare to find someone who is so snobbish." The other aunt looked at Yu with contempt and said sarcastically.
They actually want to wipe out the entire family, including their own grandson's family. Even though they are breaking off relations, the Liu family is really too cruel.
This was exactly the effect Xia Mo wanted, and at the same time he wanted to demonstrate his tolerance, so after Yu started speaking, he pretended to be shocked by her words, letting his mouth slightly open and his pupils dilate.
"You! What nonsense are you talking about, you dead woman! I told you that I just came to see if they were okay, and I misunderstood because I was in a hurry. Don't try to put the blame on me!" Yu was so angry that she jumped up and down.
"I'm not talking nonsense. I heard it clearly just now. It was you who slandered the village chief. If Ze Ge'er hadn't come back, how would you like this to end?"
"That's right. Judging from the way she looked just now, it was obvious that she did it on purpose. If the village chief knew, he would be so mad at her shamelessness that he would get sick."
"Shut up, I don't have any!" Yu roared, and then pointed the spearhead at Xia Mo, "Ze'er, do you still have a conscience? You said I care about you, but you just let them say bad things about me..."
"No need, get out." Ling Chuan's cold voice suddenly came from inside, and the next moment he appeared in front of everyone with a cold look and walked towards Xia Mo.
"Don't be sad, it's not worth it."
Xia Mo raised his head and looked at him for two seconds, then suddenly smiled: "I'm not sad."
However, although he said this, his droopy expression and sullen tone seemed filled with loss and hurt, yet also with a hint of relief.
"That's good." Ling Chuan knew that the boy was acting, but he couldn't help but raise his hand and touch the top of his black hair.
Xia Mo tilted his head and muttered quietly, "There's someone here. If you touch me again, I'll shrink." He was short to begin with...
Ling Chuan's black eyes slightly curved when he heard this, and he pulled his hand back. Then he raised his eyelids and looked at Yu with a cold face: "This is the last time. If you dare to come to my house and make trouble for Teng Ze'er again, don't blame me for being ungrateful and making sure that Liu Baokun can't pass the imperial examination."
Yu looked down on Ling Chuan, but she was also deeply afraid of him. After all, this man could break her walking stick with his bare hands...
So when Ling Chuan came out, Yu instantly lost her arrogance, but now when she suddenly heard the other party threatening her precious grandson, she immediately exploded with anger.
She glared angrily: "How dare you!"
Ling Chuan had a blank expression on his face: "See if I dare or not."
"You bastard..." Yu was choked and was about to start cursing and acting out her signature act of crying, making a fuss and threatening to commit suicide, but was interrupted by Xia Mo again.
"Hey, stop being so rude, Old Lady Liu. Go back. Brother Ling is just too concerned. Don't worry, he won't do anything to Liu Baokun. But you——"
Xia Mo paused as if hesitating, "You're already old and still jumping up and down all day. Be careful not to get angry. I heard it's bad for your health. In serious cases, you may even kick your legs."
"Puchi!" As soon as Xia Mo finished speaking, the aunt who had argued with Yu before burst into laughter.
Others laughed along, but also looked at Xia Mo in surprise. After all, why did these caring words sound so irritating?
When they laughed, Yu's eyes turned red with anger. She pointed at Xia Mo and shouted, "How dare you curse me to death?"
