Chapter 325: Chapter 325: Adding Fuel to the Fire

Zhou Xuennian and Madam Lu, this husband and wife duo, were both intent on driving Wufu and her sisters out.

Zhou Xueli couldn’t believe what he was hearing and suddenly stood up, saying, "Big brother, how can you say such things? Do you not remember what dad said before he died, the oath you took?"

Zhou Xuennian’s eyes hardened, "How are you speaking to me?"

"Big brother, it’s Dajun who has done wrong, and yet you want to drive out the victims. Aren’t you afraid of the heavens above, of dad rising from his grave to curse you?" Zhou Xueli was not afraid of him and angrily said, "What’s more, instead of thinking about how to pacify Wufu and the others, you’re adding fuel to the fire. Big brother, have you lost your mind, gone mad along with sister-in-law?"

Lady Liang couldn’t help but inwardly cheer at her husband’s words.

These uncle and auntie were as dense as pigs. When such a thing happened, everyone else was thinking of how to resolve it peacefully, and they instead wanted to drive people out of the village, adding fuel to the fire.

How could anyone be so foolish, and to think he’s someone who studies the sacred and wise book!

Pah!

"How dare you!" Zhou Xuennian swung his sleeves and pointed at Zhou Xueli, "Do you even see me as your elder brother?"

"You..."

"Enough with the quarreling!" Old Lady Zhou, feeling increasingly dizzy from her sons’ arguing, and her body about to collapse, gasped for breath and said, "It seems that to you, I, as your mother, am already dead."

Zhou Xueli, seeing his mother turning pale, snorted and sat down.

Madam Lu spoke up again, "We’re not being meddlesome; we’re suggesting they move away to avoid the limelight, to keep the outside world from knowing. Once the rumors subside, they can move back if they want."

Lady Liang bowed her head, hiding the sneer on the corner of her mouth. Her words sounded better than her intentions.

Zhou Xuennian, however, had no such considerations and said, "Move what? Ying Mei moving here is like marrying off a daughter or pouring out water, what business does she have living in the Old Zhou family’s house? She should have moved out long ago."

Without waiting for Old Lady Zhou to speak, he continued, "Mom, you’ve seen how ruthless Wufu is. Keeping her in the village will only bring disaster. Now, who in the village doesn’t dread her? Our family can’t afford to be implicated by her troubles anymore. I am the head of the family, and this matter is settled."

Madam Zhou felt a chill in her heart at his resolute manner.

"Who do you plan to send to tell them to move?" Old Lady Zhou asked.

Zhou Xuennian frowned and looked towards Lady Liang, "Second Son’s Wife has always been good at talking to them, so let her..."

"Ouch..." Lady Liang clutched her bulging belly, a look of pain on her face, and cried out, "Husband, my stomach hurts!"

Zhou Xueli hurriedly asked, "What’s wrong?"

"My stomach, it hurts."

"Quick, help your wife back to lie down, she must have been startled today," Old Lady Zhou cherished the grandchild in her belly and promptly instructed Zhou Xueli.

Zhou Xueli hurriedly helped Lady Liang away, and upon reaching the door, he looked back and said, "Big brother, I advise you not to do this, otherwise, what happens to Zhou Dajun, you will surely regret it!"

Zhou Xuennian’s face turned iron blue. Was this a threat to him?

He truly couldn’t believe it — Wufu couldn’t reach the heavens, and if this slippery Second Son’s Wife wouldn’t handle it, he would go himself, that must be acceptable, right?

"Mom, Wufu and her sisters simply cannot stay," as if seeking Old Lady Zhou’s approval, Zhou Xuennian said through clenched teeth.

Old Lady Zhou felt utterly exhausted and waved her hand, "That’s your son, you all discuss it yourselves. I’m tired."

Her headache was worsening, and if the argument continued, she might end up joining her late husband.
