Old Liu was furious as he looked at Old Zhou, "In-law, these aren't words that can be carelessly thrown around, Dalang has always been honest."
Before Old Zhou could speak, Third Uncle Qian shouted, "Honest? Is it honest to stuff a divorce letter into your wife's hands at dawn, throw her out with her clothes in tatters? Could it be there's an illicit child? We'll know in ten months, won't we? I don't buy it—your Liu family would never get rid of that child. In ten months' time, we'll see if your Liu family isn't adding another mouth to feed!"
Old Liu's face was as black as a pot, trembling with anger.
Insiders know their own family affairs. Why was he so anxious to divorce Zhou Xi if not because Widow Wu's belly couldn't wait?
The whole Liu family was extremely angry, yet Third Uncle Qian was notoriously shameless and articulate, and with Zhou Erlang and Zhou Silang egging on from the side, the Liu family was out-argued by them completely.
