People were surprised since no one expected Yun Jian to hit Lu Lanhua. After all, it was unfilial for a granddaughter to hit her grandmother. In the villager’s saying, an aggressive young girl like this would not be able to marry herself off!
An older woman who saw Yun Jian slapping Lu Lanhua to the ground ran over to help the latter up while she admonished Yun Jian, “Oh dear! What kind of a granddaughter is this? It’s fine that you’ve chased your grandmother out of the house in public, you slapped her?! Look, oh dear, her… her denture fell off!”
The older woman said as she helped Lu Lanhua up. The woman honestly thought that Lu Lanhua was speaking the truth, so she stood up for her and rebuked Yun Jian.
In addition to what Lu Lanhua had said, everyone found Yun Jian to be on the wrong no matter how they saw it.
“Grandma, this is the last time I’m calling you grandma seeing that you’ve been decent to me in the past. Yes, you’ve been nice to me! But ask yourself for real, have you treated my mom and my sister as well?!”
Just when Lu Lanhua was twisting the truth and accusing Qin Yirou and Yun Jian, Yun Yi spoke up, unable to hold it in any longer.
The other gossiping women who were speaking up for Lu Lanhua halted abruptly and looked at Yun Yi only for him to continue saying, “Dad’s legs were fine when my mom divorced him, right? Those two houses back home are built through my mum’s saving from working hard for over a decade. My mom didn’t even ask for a penny and left with my sister and I when they divorced.”
“Dad’s been gambling for over ten years and every time he came back, he stole mom’s hard-earned savings to return to the casino. When has he ever cared for us? When has he ever cared for mom?”
“When school just started last year, dad gambled, lost and borrowed from the loan shark. Those men came all the way home and even thought of assaulting my sister. Where were you then? Where was dad?”
“My mom’s been putting up with all that she can but what did dad do with the money he won from gambling? He had an affair and gave his mistress all the money at home!”
“My mom’s never done dad any wrong! He’s the one who did this to himself! He’s a gambling addict and it serves him right getting his legs broken!”
Yun Yi yelled his last sentence with a complicated expression and his fists clenched. He did not want to badmouth Yun Gang since that was his father after all, but he genuinely could not hold back anymore under such circumstances.
It was Qin Yirou’s birthday today yet Lu Lanhua chose this day to kick up a fuss. What was it if not intentional?
The gossiping women went silent hearing what Yun Yi said. It was only then Yun Yi looked at Lu Lanhua and shouted at her furiously, “That slap from my sister… If it’d been me, I wanted nothing more than to stab you to death! It wouldn’t be just a slap! My mom’s toiled her life for the Yun Family but what did she get in return?!”
“How did you used to treat my mom and sister back then? Now that sh*t happens and we’re doing better, you’re trying to take advantage of us, is that so? I’ll have you know that my mom and my sister are under my wings! You can forget about picking a fight!”
Yun Yi’s fists were cracking ominously when he spoke. It was rage that only those who went through it could show.
The crowd was baffled, especially the gossipers who criticized Yun Jian just now. Even Lu Lanhua was speechless.
No one expected Yun Yi who had been docile and polite with excellent grades to say that in his attempt to protect Qin Yirou and Yun Jian. Yun Jian herself was surprised that her brother actually had this side to him.
