Chapter 486: Chapter 486 Stepmother Chapter 486: Chapter 486 Stepmother Xuexue rounded a corner and hurried towards them. Seeing Madam Xie with disheveled hair and clearly visible finger marks on her face, Xuexue’s heart nearly leapt out of her chest, her voice cried out with a sob, “Mother, what happened to you?”
“Mother is fine, Xuexue, don’t worry.”
Seeing Xuexue, tears almost fell from Madam Xie’s eyes. Just moments before, at the brink of death, she had thought she would never see her two precious daughters again. Thankfully, Big Bull had returned in time to stop Auntie Sun from committing her crime.
At this moment, Madam Xie regained some strength. She took her hand away from her neck. Xuexue caught a glimpse of the horrifying strangulation marks. Her heartbeat nearly stopped, it was indeed the same as in her previous life; today was the day Auntie Sun had plotted to kill her adoptive mother.
“Mother, you say you’re alright, but look at the marks on your neck,” Xuexue stepped forward and embraced Madam Xie, crying softly. She was truly careless, having already gone through this in her past life, yet she had repeated the same mistake. It was truly inexcusable.
“Silly girl, it’s all right now, isn’t it? Mother is fine,” Madam Xie’s eyes also grew moist.
Watching the mother and daughter embrace and weep together, Big Bull felt a complex emotion. He silently turned and walked out.
Xuexue was so preoccupied with Madam Xie that she didn’t notice his departure at all.
the Mo family
Auntie Sun ran home, terrified.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she ran so fast that she knocked Old Lady Mo to the ground as she was about to leave the house…
“You old hag, running so fast—are you rushing to reincarnate? Oh, it hurts! I’m going to die, old woman,” Old Lady Mo cried out in pain, sitting on the ground. She thought Auntie Sun would at least come to help her up.
However, Auntie Sun merely paused, looked at her indifferently, then turned her head and ran into the house without a word.
Old Lady Mo cursed loudly, “You little whore, beloved by thousands, you’ve come to the Mo family only to bring us misfortune. Oh, it hurts! My back!”
While continuing to curse, Old Lady Mo tried to stand, but accidentally twisted her back. Now she was really hurt, grimacing in pain.
Madam Ruan had just returned from gossiping with some acquaintances and saw Old Lady Mo cursing in the courtyard. Her heart trembled, knowing the old lady was in a bad mood. So, she quietly rounded a corner, hoping to sneak away. She didn’t want to come back at this time and become an outlet for Old Lady Mo’s frustrations.
But Old Lady Mo was quick-eyed; she had spotted her the moment she appeared.
“Madam Ruan, you dead old hag, you see me fall down and don’t even think to help me up. How can the Mo family breed such cunning people.”
Old Lady Mo was grinding her teeth in anger. What sins had she committed in a previous life? The daughters-in-law she had married into the family were all so unfilial. Clearly seeing her fall down, one after another, it was as if they pretended not to see her, all avoiding her on purpose.
“Oh, dear! Mother-in-law, you’ve wronged your daughter-in-law—I really didn’t know you fell. I thought you were just sitting down to cool off because it was too hot!” Knowing she couldn’t avoid it, Madam Ruan reluctantly turned around and, feigning concern, carefully helped Old Lady Mo up.
Old Lady Mo didn’t doubt her explanation at all.
Indeed, this was a rural area, and it was common for country folks to sit on the ground without much fuss.
“It’s all that little whore Auntie Sun’s fault. She ran in like she was chased by a ghost and knocked me down,” Old Lady Mo grumbled, holding her back and cursing bitterly.
Ever since rumors of Auntie Sun’s affair with Butcher Yu had spread wildly, Old Lady Mo had despised her, feeling she had not only lost face for her son but for the entire Mo family as well. Now, she referred to her as “little whore” to vent her fury. If only she had some proof, she would have driven her out of the Mo family long ago.
