Chapter 451: Chapter 450: You Still Want to Kill My Son or What!

Lin Xia and Lin Qiu came back very late that day, so they didn’t know about Wu Zhengyang being beaten up and his face badly swollen.

The next morning, Liu Caifeng from the greenhouse and Bai He came over to pull the supplies.

Lin Xia stood at the door and instructed Lin Qiu, who was wiping the table, "Xiaoqiu, clean the house while I’m out! I’ll come back after opening the store, and then we can go out!"

"Sister, just go!"

Lin Xia pushed the cart out of the gate, where Mrs. Wu from next door seemed to have been waiting for quite a while.

Mrs. Wu, with a cold face and hands on her hips, pointed at her and scolded, "Lin Xia! You’ve gone too far! Killing a person stops short of beheading! Do you still want to kill my son or what?"

She hadn’t slept well that night, and after much thought, she was convinced that Lin Xia had hired someone to beat up her boy!

That day, they were humiliated with money, and their ring was stepped on and deformed, but after thinking it over, it was indeed her boy who had wronged Lin Qiu, so she gritted her teeth and decided not to hold it against Lin Xia!

But now that everything was settled, they should each go their own ways, how could she still resort to these underhanded tactics?

Not to mention the boy was beaten up so badly he was bruised and swollen all over, but also the bicycle rim was completely bent. This was clearly a retaliatory assault!

How could she swallow this bitterness?

So, taking advantage of her son being out and her younger daughter not opening the store, she wanted to have a proper confrontation with Lin Xia.

Lin Xia was completely baffled by her behavior. Her impression of the old woman had hit rock bottom, so she responded irritably, "Are you sick? You’re starting trouble early in the morning! How have I gone too far?"

Ever since that day, their families had been like water not invading a river, she often went out to play with her sister and wasn’t usually at home. Where would she have the time to bully anyone?

Seeing Lin Xia’s confident demeanor, Mrs. Wu recalled the day she was humiliated and squinted, shouting, "Lin Xia! Stop pretending! My boy was badly beaten up yesterday, if it wasn’t you who hired someone, who else could it be?"

Lin Qiu heard the noise and jogged out from the house, and when she heard that Wu Zhengyang had been beaten, she instinctively looked nervously in the direction of the Wu family, then quickly averted her gaze to stop herself from worrying or feeling sorry for him!

"It definitely wasn’t my sister! My sister would never do such a thing!"

Upon hearing that Wu Zhengyang had been beaten, Lin Xia immediately thought it might have been her older brother who hired someone, but she couldn’t let any sign of that show on her face.

"Why would you say I hired someone to beat Wu Zhengyang? Where’s the evidence? In all matters, you need to produce evidence! Otherwise, you’re just framing and slandering!"

Their loud argument immediately attracted many curious neighbors, and Wang Lan quickly stepped out of the grocery store.

Mrs. Wu, seeing the approving looks on the neighbors’ faces, adamantly argued, "What evidence do we need? My boy has always been an honest and decent kid, not looking for trouble or causing disasters. It’s obviously because he broke up with your sister that offended your family! You must have retaliated out of anger!"

In her heart, she was a hundred percent convinced that it was all Lin Xia’s doing! There was no one else!

"You’re being unreasonable!" Lin Qiu was so angry she could hardly stand it, but she was not good with words and didn’t know how to retort!

Lin Xia clenched the handlebars, laughing out of sheer frustration, "I seek revenge on your family? You really think too highly of yourself! My sister broke up with your no-good son, and I couldn’t be happier to not have someone like you as a mother-in-law!"

If these issues had arisen after getting married, her sister would have suffered even more!

Mrs. Wu felt indignant, "Who are you calling disreputable? Stop slandering people!"

Lin Xia sneered, "I’m stating facts here. Are you saying your son wasn’t involved with Miao Xue? It would be strange if he hadn’t slept with her!"

Anyone with eyes could see what was really happening; who are they trying to fool here?

Neighbors watching the spectacle immediately chuckled softly.

Madam Wu was so angry that her face flushed red with surging blood, but she dared not continue arguing with Lin Xia about this, because she knew it was true.

She caught her breath and sneered, "Lin Xia, don’t think I can’t guess what you’re thinking. You must be jealous because Miao Xue’s family is better off than yours!

Too bad your family isn’t up to par! Having a little money is nothing, not when others have power and authority..." She finished speaking and purposefully glanced at the downcast Lin Qiu.

Lin Xia really wanted to ram the spiteful old lady with her cart, but then she thought better of it, realizing it was pointless to continue this trivial discussion with an idiot.

"My family’s status has nothing to do with you now! You think your son finding Miao Xue is something special? Humph! I’ll just wait and watch the show from the sidelines! Xiaoqiu, lock the door; let’s go!"

If Miao Xue really did marry into the Wu Family, did Madam Wu think that Miao Xue would treat her well? It wasn’t just her dark heart; there were definitely troubles brewing!

Madam Wu was so angry she almost jumped up, grabbing Lin Xia’s cart handle, "Lin Xia! Where do you think you’re going?! We haven’t settled the matter of my son being beaten!"

Lin Xia looked at her disdainfully, "What’s there to say? If you think it was me, then go ahead and sue me! I’m waiting!" She doubted Madam Wu could find any evidence.

Lin Xia glared at Madam Wu holding the handle of the cart and coldly said, "Let go now! If you don’t, I really won’t play nice!"

Madam Wu, frightened by Lin Xia’s fierce gaze, hurriedly let go. She was alone at home, and if it really came to blows, probably no one would help her!

By then, Lin Qiu had locked the door. She hopped onto the rear rack of Lin Xia’s bike, and without another word to Madam Wu, they rode off.

Madam Wu was so angered her liver hurt!

Seeing the excitement die down, the neighbors dispersed, though a few headed to Wang Lan’s shop to continue the gossip.

The topic, of course, was about the issue between the Wu Family and the Lin Family!

Everyone speculated that the Wu’s son being beaten might indeed not have been arranged by Lin Xia! Perhaps he brought it upon himself!

Wang Lan, listening on the side, commented, "Just you watch, there’ll be more drama at the Wu’s soon! That Miao Xue doesn’t seem as easy to deal with as Lin Qiu..."

Someone agreed, "Exactly! If you ask me, it’s like losing a watermelon to pick up a sesame seed! Lin Qiu is such a nice girl! She looks good and has a great personality..."

Lin Qiu, having been praised, asked Lin Xia on the road, "Sis! Who do you think really hit him?"

Lin Xia feigned ignorance, "How would I know? Certainly wasn’t me!"

She quickly changed the subject, "Xiaoqiu! Now you see what kind of person his mom is!

Lucky you didn’t end up with him! Otherwise, once married and her true colors showed, you’d never handle her with your temperament!"

Lin Qiu was indeed distracted by the new focus, sighing, "Yeah! I actually thought she was nice before. I was too naive!"

"Don’t think too much about it! Let’s just go open the store and then hang out!"

"Okay!" Lin Qiu responded, embracing Lin Xia’s waist sentimentally, "Sis! I’m so lucky to have you supporting me!"

"Silly girl!" Lin Xia, fighting back tears, pedaled hard while laughing, "You are my sister! If I don’t support you, who will I support!"

In her past life, she was too timid and unable to help her sister!

This life, having the chance to start over, she wildly transformed herself into someone fierce and aggressive, all to prevent the past from repeating itself!
