Chapter 489 - Chapter 489 Chapter 489 Stirring Up Trouble

Chapter 489: Chapter 489: Stirring Up Trouble Chapter 489: Chapter 489: Stirring Up Trouble Madam Xie had a false alarm, and after Xuexue comforted her and helped her back to her room to rest and tucked her in, she left the room.

She was preparing to go and settle accounts with Auntie Sun.

At that moment, Big Bull walked in from outside. Seeing that Xuexue was about to leave, and knowing she was going to confront Auntie Sun, he said, “Wife, you don’t need to go! Auntie Sun has already run away.”

“Run away?”

“Yes! I just went to the Mo family, and Auntie Sun’s room was a total mess, as if she had packed in a hurry and fled.”

“How could that be possible? How would she know that we were going to find her and settle accounts?” Xuexue widened her beautiful eyes in disbelief, thinking that if the woman got away so easily, it would be too cheap for that wretched hag.

“That woman is very cunning. When she ran out of our house and knew I saw her, did she go home and not hurry to escape? Would she actually wait for us to come and settle accounts with her?”

In her previous life, there was no scene of Auntie Sun running away. Xuexue couldn’t help but worry about what might come next, especially concerned for her adoptive mother’s safety.

“Wife, don’t worry. In a little while, I’ll go with you to the village head’s house, and tell him about this. If Auntie Sun comes back, he must deal with her properly,” Big Bull reassured her.

Actually, Xuexue preferred to take her revenge personally, but with Auntie Sun’s whereabouts unknown, the enemy hidden and they exposed, and fearing for her adoptive mother and Chuner’s safety, asking the village head for help was the best option under the circumstances.

That evening, Xuexue and Big Bull did go to the Village Chief’s House and told him everything.

The village head took the matter very seriously and immediately went to the Xie Residence. He saw the injuries of Madam Xie, noting that the five finger marks on her face were superficial and not a big concern, as it was common for people in farming families to fight over trivial matters.

However, the alarming strangulation marks on her neck made him frown deeply–this was a serious matter related to potential loss of life.

Therefore, he also solemnly promised Madam Xie that if Auntie Sun showed up, he would immediately take control of her.

The next day, thanks to the village head’s announcement, everyone in Mo Family Village knew about Auntie Sun’s failed murder attempt and escape, and the village was abuzz with discussion…

“Isn’t she Mo Xiaoqiang’s aunt? She should be registered in the County Yamen; where could she possibly run to?”

“Without an identity, escaping out there is a dead end for her.”

In Moli Country, being without household registration meant being an undocumented person–discovered by anyone, one could be sold or killed at will, with the government office not bothering to intervene.

“You say that now, but she had the guts to do it, and she might have already planned her escape. Maybe her lover had already arranged a house for her, hiding her away like a precious treasure–she doesn’t need to live outside exposed to the elements, so what does she need a household registration for?” said one person, covering their mouth with deep intent and giggling.

Everyone suddenly realized and nodded in agreement, “Right, we forgot about that man–Auntie Sun had a lover.”

“Mo Xiaoqiang is to blame too, being such a weak man. He’s brought shame to Mo Family Village.”

“Exactly, he doesn’t treasure a good woman like Madam Xie and instead brings home a wanton woman. It’s laughable.”

“Our village being involved in such a scandal will definitely affect our reputation. Young men and women from all around the neighborhood will be scared to come here for marriage alliances.”

“Indeed, all said and done, it’s all the fault of Old Lady Mo, that old hag. When Madam Xie was well and good, she insisted that her son divorce her and took in a vixen spirit, causing our village’s reputation to suffer.”
