Chapter 178 - 13 Outbreak_2
Han Shouzhen’s words pierced Dong Fei’s heart. In the past, she would have definitely retorted with curses, especially since, compared to her son, it was Xu Ji who seemed more like the one suffering retribution. However, with Han Kuang present, Dong Fei didn’t dare to do so, as who would provoke the elder aunt, the apple of their father-in-law’s eye? She had no choice but to endure.
But a son is always a mother’s soft spot, so her complexion unavoidably turned as ugly as a liver. Liu Yuzhi, who was beside her, lacked such restraint. Hearing Han Shouzhen actually cursing her grandson, she immediately angrily said, "You damn wretch, who are you calling malicious, even cursing your own nephew!"
As she spoke, she turned to Han Kuang, "Old master, you can’t just ignore this matter. Longlong is also your grandson, after all."
"What did I do wrong? Isn’t it just following your example?" Han Shouzhen, in a departure from her usual behavior, brought up past grievances, "Who was it that said our Xu Ji deserved to be a short-lived ghost, that sooner or later he’d join his father down below, leaving me old and without anyone to see me off?"
"And who said I have a tough life, that I’d outlive my husband and children and would be taken by the heavens sooner or later?"
"There are many more things you’ve said; if you’ve forgotten, let me jog your memory."
Han Shouxin looked at his sister with surprise, realizing that the situation wasn’t as bad as he thought; Shouzhen was somewhat out of control emotionally, yet she was still rational, not blindly lashing out like she used to. She would often be rendered speechless by that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair, resorting to violence, and even the old man couldn’t always intervene.
At this moment, Han Kuang’s expression turned unsightly. He stared at Liu Yuzhi and Dong Fei, gritting his teeth, "Did you really say those things?"
