Just when Liu Mei bumped into him at that moment, he immediately pushed all his feelings of guilt and wrongdoing onto her.
"Our Xiu Family must have had eight lifetimes of bad luck to marry such a wicked woman like you!"
"Xiu Jianlin, what do you mean by that?" Liu Mei instantly became agitated, her eyes wide with anger.
Xiu Jianlin felt miserable and, unlike before, he didn't give in to her. The couple started fighting on the short walk home, attracting a crowd of onlookers. Only the Ruan Family kept their courtyard door tightly shut, deeming even an extra glance at them as dirtying their eyes.
After the village officials left, a member of the Ruanlin Family stood in front of Xiaoxi and sighed. Squatting down beside him, she said, "Xiaoxi, you might resent Grandma now, but when you grow up, you'll understand. Grandma is doing this for your own good."
"Understand!" Xiaoxi looked at her, his eyes devoid of resentment.
