Everyone thought this group of people should be villagers who came to get some wedding candies. So, Aunt Lin went to open the door, and Aunt Su walked over to them.
"Aiya, why are you all standing here? Come and have some wedding candies," she said with a smile.
As soon as she finished speaking, the old man in front of her turned around, and she finally saw his face.
Aunt Su was stunned for a moment and asked with surprise, "Uncle Xiao, why are you here?"
Grandpa Xiao snorted at her words and asked her, "Why? Could it be that my grandson got married without even notifying his family, so I can’t even come here?"
Listening to his tone, Aunt Su knew that the Xiao family didn’t have a good intention for coming today. Back then, they were the ones who kicked Xiao Li out of the house and never cared about his life or death after his father’s death.
Now, the whole village knows how generous Xiao Li is to the Liu family. So, they must have come to get some benefit from him after hearing this news.
Just when Aunt Su’s mind was racing as she tried to look for a solution to solve this tricky situation, Aunt Lin came over with a smile on her face. If people take a closer look, they will notice that her smile is not reaching her eyes.
"Uncle Xiao, what a surprise ah! I never expected to see you here today," she said while looking at people from the Xiao family meaningfully.
Hearing her words, Grandpa Xiao’s face darkened and he asked with a frown, "Niece, what do you mean with those words?"
Aunt Lin thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Xiao, if I remember correctly, when you kicked Ah Li out of the house and removed his name from your Xiao family’s genealogy, you said that whatever happens to him in the future has nothing to do with the Xiao family and whatever happens to the Xiao family has nothing to do with him."
"At that time, Ah Li was only a five-year-old child. After twenty years, you come here acting as his grandfather. This… is not appropriate, right?" she asked.
Hearing what she said, Grandpa Xiao and everyone in the Xiao family became angry.
But before anyone could speak, Aunt Lin added with mockery clear in her voice, "Ah, I forgot, after your son died, you blamed his death on Ah Li’s mother and drove her out of the village."
"You also spread the news that she eloped with another man which made Ah Li called by others as a bastard and his lineage was being doubted for years," she added coldly.
She walked up to Grandpa Xiao and said in a low voice, "Uncle Xiao, don’t you think the cause of Ah Li’s mother’s death is suspicious? She loves her son very much, so she will never jump into the well due to shame. Over the years, I don’t know if those who killed her can sleep well at night."
Aunt Lin clenched her fists when she saw him like this. Over the years, she has only had some suspicion that her best friend’s death was related to the Xiao family. But without evidence or witnesses, she couldn’t report it. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
