Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work-Chapter 163: Exposing the Truth

When Liu Guangmao got home, what he saw was his own sister riding on top of his wife and beating her up. He had never seen Liu Guangmei like this before, and he was momentarily stunned.

"Dad." Liu Mohe reminded, and wanted to close the door, but those who loved to watch the drama had already slipped inside, and there were quite a few people tiptoeing to peek over the courtyard wall. Liu Mohe felt that his family’s reputation was going to be completely lost today.

After snapping out of it, Liu Guangmao hurried forward to Liu Guangmei, "Little sister, little sister, stop hitting, stop hitting, let’s talk it over, talk it over."

Liu Guangmao pulled Liu Guangmei away while Lv Amei took the opportunity to kick several more times in frustration.

Liu Guangmei struggled but couldn’t get free momentarily, after all, the strength of men and women is different, "So, the two of you are planning to team up and beat me today, are you? Usually, it’s not satisfying to beat up a five-year-old kid, so today you’re taking it out on me."

Liu Guangmei’s words made Liu Guangmao release his grip, and Liu Guangmei went forward, squatted down, slapped Lv Amei twice again, then turned back and glared at Liu Guangmao viciously, and angrily pushed him.

"Big brother, did you know that your wife and daughter were hitting Youning at home?" Liu Guangmei bluntly asked.

Liu Guangmao was stunned for a moment, his eyes dodged a little, and Liu Guangmei understood everything.

"Guangmei, kids are raised like this in the village, isn’t every family disciplining the naughty ones? Your sister-in-law knows her limits." Liu Guangmao explained.

"She knows? She knows my ass." Liu Guangmei cursed furiously, "She only knows how to take Youning’s pension and then work him like a horse. She sits with her daughter in the yard eating melon seeds, having a five-year-old child doing laundry beside them, and when he’s slow, she’d kick him. Is she even human?"

"Today I will take Youning away. From now on, you won’t need to take care of him. I will." Liu Guangmei took a deep breath, tidied up her messy hair, and announced the result.

"You wish." Lv Amei spat out blood and painfully stood up with her hands on her hips, but Liu Guangmei didn’t even glance at her.

Liu Guangmei was waiting for Lou Wenjian and the others to arrive. Since she was waiting, she simply sat down calmly, on the bamboo chair where Lv Amei originally sat.

"Are you insane? How can anyone beat their sister-in-law like this? Why is my life so miserable..." Lv Amei exaggeratedly slapped her leg and sat down on the ground, crying out in grief. With her appearance, it truly seemed pitiful.

"I really treat Gouwa like my own child, providing him with good food and drinks. Kids in the countryside all do chores, letting him do laundry, is that such a grave crime? I treat him like my own child, and you just go and beat me up without even asking..."

"I think you’re just greedy for that pension, fighting for custody for money, even hitting your sister-in-law." Lv Amei cried out lamentingly.

Lv Amei was usually lazy, but when it came to Liu Youning, she was skilled at putting on a show. Few people in the team knew her true nature, now hearing her words and witnessing Liu Guangmei’s fierce beating, the public opinion leaned towards her.

"Right, who beats their sister-in-law to this extent without a major feud?"

"Exactly, she hardly ever visits, and now she’s pointing fingers at how others raise kids, doesn’t she feel ashamed?"

"Maybe she’s really here for that pension."

...

Liu Guangmei stood up confidently, looking at Liu Guangmao, Lv Amei, and swept her gaze over the nosy team members, her face turning icy, "If I, Liu Guangmei, did all this today for the pension, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"

As soon as such a heavy vow was spoken, silence fell around.

"I think everyone is wondering why I came to Wan Tang Production Team today." Liu Guangmei said loudly, "Because yesterday, police officers from Huaixi County’s Public Security Bureau came to my home, asking if I could take over Youning’s custody, saying he was mistreated at his uncle’s house."

"Wow—" The surrounding began to buzz with discussions, mostly shocked by the mention of the Public Security Bureau and the police.

"I didn’t believe it at the time, because every time I came here." Liu Guangmei pointed at the ground she stood on, then glared viciously at Lv Amei, "This good sister-in-law of mine pretended to care for Youning in front of me, even making him egg custard, I saw it with my own eyes, so naturally I trusted Youning to stay here."

"But the police said they had investigated, so I came quietly today, and what I saw..."

"Letting a child do the laundry is one thing, but Lv Amei you remember what you just said, right?"

"You had Youning do laundry, and after that, you wanted him to pick firewood, come back and start a fire for you."

"Also, you said you get pension every month, a lifetime of it, it’s like having a worker at home, your daughter doesn’t worry about marriage."

"And you said Youning doesn’t need to marry, he should stay here for life; even if he marries, he has to stay here to serve you all his life."

"These are just words, but you..."

Liu Guangmei, panting, walked towards Liu Youning’s room, whispered, "Youning, it’s Auntie, open the door for Auntie."

The door opened in response, Liu Guangmei pulled the person out, "Youning, Auntie wants to take off your clothes, don’t be afraid, today Auntie will take you away from here." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Lv Amei and Liu Mohe tried to stop her, but neither could match Liu Guangmei. She kicked one, pushed the other, and directly stripped off Liu Youning’s clothes, revealing all the marks on his body.

"Spanking children, sure, what family spares the rod these days, but what kind of person beats their own child like this? New wounds mixed with old scars, his body is almost unrecognizable, is this how you treat your own son? Ah—" Liu Guangmei screamed.

"Lv Amei, after all, has the surname Lv, she’s at most half a member of the Liu family. Liu Guangmao, you are Youning’s real uncle, even rooted in the soil here, didn’t you notice your nephew being beaten like this at all? Are you even human?" Liu Guangmei felt a deep sense of disappointment towards her honest, elder brother.

If a man at home had status, authority, dignity, how could Lv Amei dare to treat her nephew like this? If Liu Guangmao cared about his nephew, how could he not notice? Maybe he knew a bit but turned a blind eye.

The injuries on Liu Youning shifted the surrounding discussions mostly in favor of Liu Guangmei.

"The police are here, the police are really here—" Someone shouted excitedly seeing police officers in uniform from afar, the gaze towards Liu Guangmei changed to one of full trust.

"Today I will regain Youning’s custody, and won’t pursue anything else. After all, you are Guangliang’s big brother, if you were jailed for this, Guangliang wouldn’t be happy." Liu Guangmei’s voice hoarse, "I hope big brother and sister-in-law will reflect well."
