Chapter 169 A face full of "Holy crap"

The few people who were perched on the wall immediately perked up, and they all looked at the female educated youth dormitory with great interest.

Then a few more people came out from inside, including a thin old woman with slanted eyes and a fierce, mean-spirited look.

Following the old lady were three men and two women, including Liu Dazhu and Wang Mudan.

At this moment, Wang Mudan's face was gloomy, her hair was messy, her collar was torn, and there were obvious scratches on her left cheek. It was clear that she had just been in a fight and looked very disheveled.

Standing next to her, Liu Dazhu's complexion wasn't good either, but apart from his clothes being a bit worn, there was nothing unusual about them.

Bai Nuo looked at the group of people and asked curiously, "Are these all from Liu Dazhu's family?"

Chao Xianhua, the gossip, nodded quickly and said with a hint of excitement, "Let me tell you, their family is really strange. The first one to come out was Liu Dazhu's second brother's wife, Diao Xiaoyan, and the old lady who came out with her was Liu Dazhu's mother."

The woman with an unusually voluptuous figure in the back is Tian Youxi, the third daughter-in-law of the Liu family. Further behind her, the one who's over 1.7 meters tall and looks like a stick, is Liu Erzhu, the second son of the Liu family. On the other side, the frail-looking woman dressed like a cultured person is Liu Qingrong, the third son of the Liu family.

"Not Liu Sanzhu?"

Bai Nuo looked at Chao Xianhua with surprise; the name sounded very strange in Liu Dazhu's family.

Chao Xianhua couldn't help but smile and shared the information she had gathered from chatting with the older women in the fields with the young men.

There's a saying: "The eldest grandson and the youngest son are the lifeblood of the old lady." Liu Qingrong was indeed the lifeblood of the Liu family's old lady. When he was born, his name was different from that of his eldest and second sons. At that time, she even went to a neighboring village and took money to find a very prestigious old gentleman there to name him, saying that the name Qingrong symbolized prosperity, glory, and honor.

After the name was chosen, Old Mrs. Liu was incredibly proud, as if her youngest son had already received all of this. She didn't even observe the traditional postpartum confinement period, spending her days carrying the baby around the village, introducing the name she had paid for her son to everyone she met.

"I've heard about that too!"

Eugene, another gossip in their small group, chimed in: "As a result, after just two days of strolling around with her child, Old Mrs. Liu got sick. The village's barefoot doctor couldn't cure her, so she took the child to the county for treatment, spending a lot of money before she recovered. Old Mrs. Liu was even beaten by her mother-in-law and husband because of this."

Several people looked at Old Mrs. Liu, who was standing at the door of the female educated youth dormitory, with mixed feelings.

This was something they never expected.

Sun Yuxi glanced at Eugene with a complicated expression: "Did the name come true?"

"Proven to be true my ass!" Eugene rolled his eyes. "Liu Qingrong was pampered by Old Mrs. Liu since he was a child. She would have loved to cut off her own flesh to feed him. Everything good in the house had to be reserved for her youngest son."

Liu Dazhu and Liu Erzhu were there to serve Liu Qingrong, raising him so he was practically useless. You could say he was a good student, but he struggled through elementary school and failed the junior high entrance exam. In the end, it was his grandmother who went to the junior high school principal's office, crying and wailing, to get him a spot. But when it came to high school, that trick didn't work anymore, and Liu Qingrong absolutely refused to go.

Later, when the county factory was recruiting workers a few times, the Liu family asked around, spent money, begged and pleaded, and even went to relatives' houses in the county to sit on the ground and act like scoundrels. They finally managed to get him a few exam slots, but... he never passed the exam.

Even so, Old Mrs. Liu was still proud of her youngest son every day, blaming all the mistakes on others. She even complained that the people in the county were contemptuous and deliberately rejected her precious son. She was very proud whenever she mentioned her beloved youngest son, especially after Liu Qingrong married a woman from the county. She really wanted to treat her youngest son like a god.

However, this balance of two sons supporting one son was broken after Liu Erzhu got married.

Liu Erzhu's wife is quite formidable; she has many brothers. I heard they fell in love on their own, and Liu Erzhu's first act of defiance against Old Madam Liu was precisely to marry her.

At this point, Eugene waved to his friends, gesturing for them to lean closer, and whispered, "I heard that the two of them slept together first. At that time, Liu Qingrong hadn't yet married a city woman. Then Liu Erzhu's wife threatened the Liu family that if they didn't let them get married, she would sue Liu Erzhu. If that happened, Liu Qingrong would be stuck in the city, and Liu Qingrong would never be able to get married."

Old Mrs. Liu reluctantly agreed to the marriage, and even gritted her teeth and brought out a high dowry. People in the village said that at the time, Old Mrs. Liu's demeanor made it seem like she really wanted to kill her second son.

After Liu Lao Er got married, the Liu family was in constant chaos, it was so lively! Their neighbors changed several times, and the village head almost wanted to isolate them.

The group of friends stared at Eugene in disbelief, their faces all showing an expression of utter disbelief.

Seriously, this has shocked my entire village!

"Liu Erzhu's wife is quite a smart woman!" Fang Meng's lips twitched slightly, giving her a very high evaluation.
