At noon, they had lunch together. Since they lived in the same village, Mother Liu and Father Liu planned to send Xiao Li and Liu Hua back after lunch.
But after lunch, Liu Hua looked at her family and said, "Father, Mother, I have something to tell you."
Seeing her being so serious, everyone was curious. They glanced at Xiao Li, thinking he might have pissed her off or something.
Noticing their gazes, Liu Hua said, "This is not Ah Li’s fault. It’s my fault."
Hearing this, Mother Liu asked, "Ah Hua, what’s the matter? If you made a mistake, you should apologize. Ah Li won’t blame you."
Under the table, Xiao Li held his wife’s trembling hand and said, "Ah Hua, I will do it."
Then, he looked at his parents-in-law, took a deep breath, and said, "Father, Mother, Ah Hua and I have a son. We plan to bring him back to raise him. Therefore, before bringing him back, we want to let everybody know."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Pan stood up abruptly, grabbed him by the collar, and punched him hard.
"Bastard!" Liu Pan yelled angrily.
As a result of this punch, Xiao Li fell to the ground with a loud noise. The corner of his lip was torn and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing that his elder brother was about to beat her husband again, Liu Hua quickly protected Xiao Li and shouted, "Brother, it’s not Ah Li’s fault, it’s me who didn’t tell him!"
Liu Pan was furious and said, "Ah Hua, get out of the way!"
Liu Hua did not obey her brother’s instructions, but hugged Xiao Li and said, "No! I won’t let you hit my husband."
"Ah Hua, he did that to you, why are you still protecting him?! He let you bear him a son, and he only married you now. He deserves to be beaten!" Liu Geng said angrily.
"Second brother, Ah Li doesn’t know about my pregnancy," Liu Hua said.
Liu Pan pointed at Xiao Li’s nose and shouted, "Regardless of whether you are pregnant or not, after he did something like that to you, he should bear responsibility!"
"He was drugged and didn’t know that the woman who spent the night with him was me. I didn’t tell him because I wanted him to marry me because he loved me, not because of responsibility," Liu Hua explained with tears in her eyes.
"That’s enough!" Father Liu slammed the table angrily.
