Chapter 967: The Fight Breaks Out
Seeing Hui Niang lying unconscious in bed with bandages wrapped around her head, Hui Niang’s mother and siblings began to wail loudly.Hui Niang’s father, Sun Junren, looked at his daughter in bed and silently wept, covering his face.
After the family cried for a while, the cries gradually subsided, and Sun Junren turned to ask Liu Lang, "What did the doctor say?"
Liu Lang was uncertain how to answer, so Mrs. Chen quickly relayed what Yun Jiao had said.
Sun Junren understood that even if his daughter survived the next few days, it was uncertain when she might die, and at best, she could only lie paralyzed in bed for three to five years.
Hearing this, Hui Niang’s mother wailed even louder, "My good daughter, married into your family for only three or four years, has ended up like this. Living is suffering; it’d be better if she were dead!"
Mrs. Chen and Liu Lang stood awkwardly by the side.
Suddenly, Hui Niang’s mother turned to Liu Lang, "It’s all because of you. You pampered the concubine and neglected your wife, causing all this! You owe my daughter’s life!"
Her words ignited the conflict, "You owe my sister’s life!" Hui Niang’s brother shouted and charged over, grabbing Liu Lang’s collar and landing a punch on his face.
Liu Lang’s head turned from the blow. He raised his fist, prepared to fight back, but stopped at Hui Niang’s brother’s head.
Hui Niang’s brother then hit Liu Lang hard several more times.
Liu Lang didn’t fight back, biting his lip and enduring it.
Yun Jiao stood at the door, coldly watching Liu Lang take the blows without speaking.
She thought it was good for Liu Lang to be hit a couple of times; such a small matter had been mishandled into this.
With a life lost, even those in the right had become wrong.
Mrs. Chen couldn’t bear to see her son beaten, rushed over, and forcibly pulled Hui Niang’s brother, "What are you doing? What right do you have to hit my son!"
Sun Junren said coldly, "My Hui Niang is almost gone; what’s wrong with hitting him a couple of times?!"
Hui Niang’s mother rushed over then, grabbed Liu Lang, and shook him fiercely, "You owe my daughter’s life; give me back my daughter’s life. She’s not yet twenty but ends up like this. All I want is a person back!"
Yang Ying glanced at Yun Jiao then, whispered, "Not going to intervene?"
Yun Jiao lowered her voice, "No rush, let’s see what the Sun Family plans to do."
Yang Ying nodded and said nothing more.
Mrs. Chen, accustomed to physical work, had some strength left; she pushed Hui Niang’s mother aside and said, "Hui Niang sought death herself; what does it have to do with Liu Lang?"
Hui Niang’s mother angrily replied, "Why didn’t she seek death at home? It’s your family’s problem, all caused by Liu Lang pampering the concubine and neglecting the wife. I don’t care, my daughter cannot lose her life in vain!"
Mrs. Chen stood in front of Liu Lang, "What do you want then?"
Hui Niang’s mother stopped talking, only looked at Sun Junren.
Sun Junren looked somber, "What do you think? We raised our daughter this big, and now she’s almost gone; shouldn’t your Jiang Family give an explanation?"
Just as Mrs. Chen was about to speak, Yun Jiao stepped inside, calmly saying, "Mother, I think we should go see the authorities!"
Sun Junren retorted angrily, "You dare speak of seeing the authorities? I’ll sue him for pampering the concubine and neglecting the wife!"
Yun Jiao chuckled, "Liu Lang is in the barracks; since he brought Xiao Wan home, he’s been home for less than half a month total. How did he pamper the concubine and neglect the wife?"
"There are so many servants in the house; do you think they are all blind and voiceless, letting you say whatever you want?"
"Alright then, since you want to sue, let’s go together!"
