Chapter 268 - 268 268 Be good to me

Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Be good to me Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Be good to me “Ms. Lu of the Lin Family, if you’re worried about explaining to old Lao Geng, I can go myself and say it’s the decision of the entire Lin Clan.”

“I don’t have any objections.”

Lu Qiubo glanced at Liu Baixiao and decided to be direct.

“You…”

Seeing that his own mother didn’t even bat an eyelid as he and his family were about to be expelled from the village, Liu Baixiao took a step forward and reminded her.

“You old hag, I am your own flesh and blood!”

“Second Uncle, you keep calling her ‘old hag,’ yet, do you truly consider Grandma as your mother? Failing to act right, yet expecting her to be understanding towards you, are you dreaming?”

Lin Changfeng stepped forward, challenging Liu Baixiao.

The continued use of such an offensive term agitated him to the point of wanting to hit someone; it was only the presence of outsiders in the courtyard that kept him from attacking Liu Baixiao directly.

“I…”

Liu Baixiao opened his mouth, unsure of how to respond.

“Enough, no more, this is the decision. Liu Baixiao is to leave our village and not allowed to return.” Clan Chief Lin declared.

“What?!”

Liu Baixiao was shocked, how could such a minor matter result in his expulsion from the village?

“No, no way, Clan Chief, Clan Chief, please don’t drive us away.”

Before Liu Baixiao could even respond, Liu Rumei let out a shriek, lunging onto the Clan Chief’s leg tightly, her tears flowing down freely.

“We bought this house with our own hard-earned money, this is our home! Clan Chief, what you’re doing is morally wrong! We’re not leaving this place, we’re staying right here.”

She knew very well that if they were to leave, they would truly have nowhere to go.

Moreover, these past few days, she has seen Liu Baixiao’s true colors. If they were to really leave, her life would become even more miserable. At least here in the village, the Lin Family can keep him in check.

“Get off!”

The Clan Chief, a venerable old man, was infuriated when a woman clung onto his leg. Blushing red in embarrassment and frustration, he tried to kick Liu Rumei off, but she was gripping too tightly for him to shake her off.

“Get her off me!” He shouted to two men nearby.

Upon hearing his command, the two men immediately grabbed Liu Rumei by the arms and threw her onto the ground a short distance away.

But Liu Rumei wasn’t going down without a fight. The moment she was free, she crawled back, attempting to cling onto the Clan Chief again. “Clan Chief, Clan Chief…”

“Get out.”

Clan Chief Lin lost his temper, and with assistance from those nearby, he kicked Liu Rumei away before she could reach him again.

“You shameless scoundrel, behave yourself!”

Liu Rumei’s action of clinging onto his leg made his skin crawl and caused such discomfort that he could hardly bear it.

Liu Rumei sat on the ground in pain, the kick to her shoulder throbbing. But in her mind, she was panicking; these people were determined to drive them out.

If only she had known it would escalate to this, she would have done whatever it took to stop Liu Baixiao from hurting Liu Chushui. Regret filled her heart.

With tears blurring her vision, she looked towards Lu Qiubo.

“Mother-in-law, please don’t kick us out, we… oh right! Yushui is pregnant, she can’t be put through such stress. If we’re driven out and something happens to her child, what then? Yushui is your own great-granddaughter.”
