BXBX NOVEL Chapter 172 - It’s All For You!
Chapter 172: It’s All For You!
Aunt Kang continued putting on a front. She thought nobody would discover what she did because she had done so secretly.
No one could do anything to her about it if she did not admit it.
“Don’t push all the blame on me. I was just angry and went to check out the commotion. What’s wrong with that? Many people in our village wanted to watch too!”
Everyone knows I don’t get along with An Jiuyue. What’s wrong with going to watch the commotion?
I went! And I watched openly!
Even if An Jiuyue wants to criticize me, she won’t be able to find any fault with me.
We don’t get along. Am I supposed to treat her like the Buddha?
“You—”
The Chief was furious upon hearing her arrogant response. He felt his anger caught in his throat.
He already knew what she did, but here she was stubborn and insisting she was not in the wrong when she might soon be exposed.
Just then, the Chief’s son walked in with a pickaxe. He was not surprised to see his mother on the ground.
Placing his pickaxe down, he helped her up and asked, “Father, what did Mother do to make you angry again?”
He really did not know what to say about his mother.
Why does she have to think so badly of other people? Is living your own life peacefully not good enough? An Jiuyue has saved so many lives in our village.
She doesn’t have to treat her kindly, but she should at least be on neutral terms with her.
She shouldn’t take out her anger on An Jiuyue. These are basic human morals.
“Mother, did you provoke An Jiuyue again?” he guessed.
Aunt Kang shook her son off and started scolding him, “So what if I provoked An Jiuyue? Who am I doing this for? It’s all for you!”
“For me?” The Chief’s son was puzzled.
What does she mean by that? What did I do to make my mother target a pitiful woman with children?
“What did I do? What does this have to do with me?”
“How is it unrelated?”
Aunt Kang knew very well that her son had fancied An Jiuyue’s beauty.
“Would I target that widow if you didn’t have feelings for her? Both of you were flirting every day! Who does she think she is? Let me tell you, don’t even think about it. I’ll die in front of you if you want to marry her!”
The man was stunned for a long time before realizing his mother was referring to An Jiuyue.
He turned and looked at his father, who was also confused.
He swore he had no feelings for An Jiuyue at all. He knew her only goal was to raise her two sons well.
“Mother, what nonsense are you spouting?!” he yelled at her when he realized.
“Are you the one who spread the rumors that ruined An Jiuyue’s reputation?”
He was wondering why strange rumors were circulating in the village. An Jiuyue had saved everyone, yet some women gossiped about her.
