Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Teaching Liu i a Lesson (1)_1 Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Teaching Liu i a Lesson (1)_1 “My kid was so lucky, he found a roe deer, but I haven’t even laid eyes on it because the Ruan Family swallowed it all. Tell , is there any sense in that?”
“Your kid? You an Xiu Cheng?” soone asked.
After all, she was always calling Xiu Xi a worthless dog; the kid she’s talking about now definitely wouldn’t be Xiu Xi.
The person asked seriously, but Liu i, feeling guilty, inadvertently heard a mocking tone.
She glared at the man: “I’m talking about my little kid!”
“Pfft…” Soone laughed disrespectfully: “Didn’t you call him a worthless dog? How co he’s suddenly ‘your kid’ now?”
Others heard this and laughed even louder, laughing so hard that Liu i’s face turned purple with anger. She glared at them and shouted furiously, “What’s it to you, sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong? I’ll call him whatever I want!”
“Xiu Family’s… you’re wrong there. Weren’t you the one who called us in here? And now you’re saying it’s none of our business?”
“Exactly, Xiu Family’s… A stepmother needs to be kind; otherwise, be careful, the heavens will not turn a blind eye, tsk tsk…” The tone was only a step away from saying she would be struck by lightning.
Liu i was furious. She had called them in to speak for her, but before she could get a word in, they started to denounce her, turning her face green and white with anger.
What she didn’t know was that because of her usual arrogance and sharp tongue, ddling in everyone’s business, no one liked her. Plus, she had resorted to sches to marry into the Xiu Family, and after giving birth to her son, she viciously wore down Xiu Xi, the eldest Xiu son. They all disdained such a two-faced woman.
She took a couple of deep breaths to suppress her anger, then turned her gaze to the Ruan Family mbers and said, “Auntie Ruanlin, let’s hear it from you, where’s my kid’s roe deer? Are you really not going to let see it? Is that how you do things?”
The Ruanlin Family had long anticipated a day like this.
She turned to Ruan Jianguo and said coldly, “Go get it, let her take it back.”
Ruan Jianguo nodded, went to the kitchen, and brought out the roe deer, handing it to Liu i.
Now it was Liu i’s turn to be stunned, looking at them hesitantly. It ca out so easily? She thought there would be a fight.
Feeling a bit uneasy, but thinking of so much at, she steeled her heart and took it, then turned to glare at Xiu Xi behind her. But the mont her eyes t his, she imdiately pulled away in a panic.
Even now, whenever she looked into this dead kid’s eyes, she still felt fear.
She always felt his gaze could devour people.
Of course, Xiu Xi’s gaze couldn’t actually devour people, but he truly did harbor the desire to devour Liu i. The roe deer was for Ruan Jiaojiao; aside from her, no one deserved to enjoy his catch!
He lowered his eyelids, hiding the fierce look in his eyes.
Without a scene, there was no spectacle to watch, leaving others sowhat disappointed as they left.
Liu i carried the hefty roe deer back ho. The roe deer was still whole; it hadn’t been processed yet, and its innards were still inside, making it particularly heavy. She smiled all the way ho, feeling like today’s catch was simply the greatest.
Because it was getting dark and she was reluctant to use the oil lamp, she locked the roe deer in an empty chicken cage at her house. She then covered it with a piece of torn fabric and went to bed, content, not noticing that in the darkness, a pair of eyes emitting a green light was following her.
