Chapter 511 - 510 Taking a Stand
Chu Yonghua’s face was ashen. He did not know if he should hit or put down his raised hand.
Chu An walked back and saw his parents quarreling again.
He was not surprised at all.
He only took a glance before he retracted his gaze and turned around to do his own thing.
Madam Liu and Chu Zhiwen had just returned home.
He saw Chu Qingxiang and Madam Zhang return.
The two of them were talking in Chu Qingxiang’s room.
She walked over and knocked on the door.
“It’s me!” Madam Liu shouted.
“Mother…” After a while, Madam Zhang opened the door guiltily.
Madam Liu looked inside. Suddenly, she pushed Madam Zhang away and walked inside quickly.
After entering the room, she saw Chu Qingxiang sitting by the bed, covering her face and avoiding her gaze.
“What happened?” Madam Liu’s face instantly darkened.
Chu Zhiwen stood at the door and hesitated for a moment before turning around to leave. He was a man and it was inconvenient for him to go in, so he buried his head and returned to the central room to cut bamboo strips to make a basket.
In Chu Qingxiang’s room, Madam Zhang closed the door behind her. Seeing her mother-in-law’s ugly expression, she twitched her lips and quickly walked to Chu Qingxiang’s side. After subconsciously protecting her daughter, she explained, “Mother, don’t be angry. Listen to me.”
“Tell me, where did this slap come from?” Madam Liu was burning with anger. She pursed her lips tightly and glared at the two of them to see what they could say.
“Mother, we went to the county today. We wanted to see Song Lu in person.”
“I didn’t expect to be blocked by the Third Miss of the Wang family instead of meeting Song Lu.”
“And then?” Madam Liu frowned as she had a bad guess in her heart.
“Then, the Third Miss of the Wang Family asked me to break off the engagement with Song Lu. She said that she would send a matchmaker to the Wang Family tomorrow to exchange the invitation card. She wanted to marry Song Lu, and I couldn’t stop her.” Chu Qingxiang’s eyes were bloodshot as she bit her lip tightly.
She Imew that the Third Miss of the Wang Family would not let this matter rest. The reason why Madam Liu gave Chu Qingxiang so much time was to let
her see clearly that Song Lu would ultimately choose the Wang family and not a country bumpkin like her!
It was so she would give up.
“What did you do?” Madam Liu suppressed her anger and looked straight into her stubborn eyes.
Chu Qingxiang’s tears immediately fell. Madam Zhang’s heart ached and she felt helpless.
“Grandma, I really just want to marry the man I’m engaged to. Is it that difficult?” Chu Qingxiang cried.
Madam Liu’s expression was calm. “If nothing went wrong, it wouldn’t be difficult. However, since an accident has happened, you have to be flexible.”
“I don’t believe that you’re so persistent because you like Song Lu. Aren’t you doing this for power and face?”
Chu Qingxiang’s face turned pale. She opened her mouth but could not say anything to refute it.
Madam Liu looked at her fixedly. “Then have you ever thought about why Song
Lu couldn’t choose a better woman for power?”
“He has passed the elementary scholar examination. With the Song family’s wealth, there will definitely be no money for him to study in the future.”
“Not only that, he spent so much money to study for so many years and finally passed the exam. Do you think the other branches of the Song family will ask him to support the family?”
“The Song family isn’t living separately yet,” Madam Liu leisurely said.
Chu Qingxiang bit her lip. “Grandma, I know you’re doing this for my own good, but I want to improve, even if it’s difficult.”
Madam Liu’s words were all blocked.
“Fine, you said it. I don’t care about you. If you regret it in the future, don’t come to me. How about that?” Madam Liu still said this in a gentle tone..
