Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work-Chapter 162: All-Out Brawl

Liu Guangmei was the closest in age to Liu Guangliang in the family, only two years apart, and she was the only girl in the family. So you could say Liu Guangliang was brought up by her when they were young, two innocent children growing up together, naturally forming a deep relationship.

So when Liu Guangliang was killed the year before last, she was the first to step up and say she wanted to take care of Youning.

Because of the compensation issue, she was questioned by family and people in the community about her intentions being impure. At that time, she truly wanted to say she didn’t care about the compensation, she just wanted to raise that child. But after all, she was a married woman, with a family of her own, having to consider her in-laws and husband’s opinion.

Most importantly, Liu Guangmao and Lv Amei made all sorts of promises to take good care of the child, saying they didn’t have a son and would treat Youning as their own.

Every few visits Liu Guangmei made each year, her sister-in-law treated Youning like her own right in front of her.

The words from the police officer yesterday, though Liu Guangmei expressed belief, she still held some doubts. But seeing it firsthand now, fearing that what the officer described was not one-tenth of the reality.

"You little bastard, hurry up, after washing the clothes you also have to fetch firewood, and then come back and light the fire. If you’re this slow, what will your uncle eat when he gets home from work?" Lv Amei spat a sunflower seed shell and even stretched her foot to kick Liu Youning’s weak back.

"Mom, what do you think about Big Sister’s marriage?" Liu Mohe was concerned about the Yi Family connection.

"What’s there to think about, if it works out, great, if not, so be it. Your big sister won’t have trouble finding someone to marry." Lv Amei said carelessly, "Our family gets compensation every month, that’s for a lifetime, it’s like we have an employed person now, what kind of family couldn’t we find?"

"Mom, eventually Gouwa will grow up. What about when he gets older and wants to marry?" Liu Mohe asked, rolling her eyes.

"What marry? He should stay at home for life," Lv Amei never thought about letting the child leave her control, "Even if he marries, so what? We don’t have a son, so he will be our son in the future, he’ll have to respect us. Even if he marries, he’ll stay at home just the same."

Outside the fence, Liu Guangmei’s eyes stared angrily, slowly filling with tears and bloodshot from anger, her hands tightly clenched. The rational string in her mind suddenly snapped, stepping towards the door with a forceful kick.

The three people in the courtyard were all startled by the sudden noise.

"Who the hell?" Lv Amei saw the door kicked open and slightly ajar, immediately stood up, face full of rage.

After kicking the door, Liu Guangmei walked in slowly without saying a word, staring daggers at Lv Amei. Lv Amei had imagined anyone but her own sister-in-law. Facing her, it was as if she was looking at a fierce beast, stepping back in fright, her angry expression faded, "Sister-in-law, why are you here..."

Lv Amei suddenly realized something, hurriedly walked over to Liu Youning, lifted him up, "Gouwa, your aunt is here, this child is really diligent, grateful my husband and I raised him, always wants to help around the house, such a good boy."

Liu Mohe, being clever, had never seen Liu Guangmei with such an expression, began to think about when she had arrived, whether she heard her previous conversation with her mom, from the look of it, seemed she did.

"Auntie, you’re here." Liu Mohe said with a somewhat awkward smile, not knowing how to counter her earlier words, just hoping Liu Guangmei didn’t hear them, that there was some other reason for her actions.

Liu Guangmei spoke no words, squatting down, pulling Liu Youning close, a forced smile on her face, "Youning, did you miss Auntie? Auntie was wrong not visiting you for so long."

After speaking, Liu Guangmei lifted Liu Youning’s shirt, revealing a body that was thin with blue, purple, and red marks, signs of pinching and whipping clearly visible.

Startled by Liu Guangmei’s actions, Lv Amei quickly explained, "This ch-child will be naughty sometimes, and you know, spare the rod spoil the child, we were harsh on him, sister-in-law, you, you mustn’t take it to heart."

Liu Guangmei still didn’t reply, after examining his body, she checked his buttocks and lower body, then his arms, all covered in various marks, his buttocks entirely bruised.

Liu Guangmei patted Liu Youning’s head with a smile, "Youning, go wait for me inside."

Liu Guangmei knew the room where Liu Youning lived, the old Liu house was given to Liu Guangmao, so Youning stayed in Liu Guangliang’s old room. After placing him inside, she instructed, "Youning, be good, lock the door, no matter what sounds you hear, don’t come out unless I come, understand?"

Liu Youning, with innocent eyes, nodded, closed the door, and locked it.

Liu Guangmei headed directly towards Lv Amei, stepping forward and viciously kicking her to the ground, then sat on her, slapping her face left and right, occasionally pulling her hair, the long-repressed emotions erupting at that moment.

"Lv Amei, who gave you the right to beat a child from our Liu family, spare the rod spoil the child? Today I will teach you what it means to be taught properly."

The slapping sounds of Liu Guangmei beating filled the courtyard, Lv Amei’s cries of pain growing louder and louder. Liu Mohe stood in shock, and when she finally reacted, she ran out to find her father, Liu Guangmao.

Lv Amei, after her initial shock, began to fight back and curse, "Liu Guangmei, have you gone mad? What sister-in-law beats her elder sister-in-law, ah—"

Though Liu Guangmei also got hit a few times, working in a textile factory every day gave her quite some strength, while Lv Amei hadn’t worked in a long time, lacking the strength and stamina, causing the fight to be one-sided.

Although it was working hours, there were still elderly folks or children wandering the community, and news of someone fighting in Liu Guangmao’s home quickly spread.

Liu Mohe reached the field embankment, yelling for Liu Guangmao, "Dad, Dad—"

"Little He, what’s wrong?" Liu Guangmao, an honest, indecisive but hardworking man, with slightly graying hair and beard, straightened up with a slightly hunched back.

"Dad, Mom told you to go home." Liu Mohe didn’t want the family matter to be public, cleverly saying only that much, knowing her father always listened to his wife.

"Alright, I’m coming." Without any doubt, Liu Guangmao slowly made his way up.

"Uncle Guangmao, Uncle Guangmao, someone broke into your house and started fighting with Auntie..." a child burst forth, shouting loudly.

"Whoosh—" The entire field heard this. Liu Mohe angrily clenched her fist without revealing any emotion on her face.

"What’s going on?" Hearing about the fight with his wife, Liu Guangmao quickened his pace.

"No idea, the door was open, and inside two people were fighting," the child responded honestly.

With something exciting to watch, especially considering Lv Amei didn’t have a good reputation in the community, many curious people followed along.
