Chapter 269 - 269 269 She Must Be Drowned in the Pond

Chapter 269: Chapter 269: She Must Be Drowned in the Pond! Chapter 269: Chapter 269: She Must Be Drowned in the Pond! Suddenly, she thought of Liu Yushui. She scrambled up from the ground as if she had grabbed the last straw, bringing Liu Yushui before Lu Qiubo.

“Yushui, quickly, kowtow to your great-grandmother and ask her not to chase us away. What are you dawdling for? Hurry!”

While pressing down on Liu Yushui’s head, she kept urging in a hurry.

“Mother, why should I kneel? I won’t kneel,” Liu Yushui clenched her teeth, refusing to kneel down.

All these people were the most inferior ones. She used to ignore them totally. Yet, now they want her to kneel? How could this be possible?

Especially now, Lin Caisang was right in front of her. If she were to kneel, wouldn’t it mean she was kneeling to Lin Caisang? She could never do that!

“If I tell you to kneel, you kneel!”

Seeing that Liu Yushui actually retorted, Liu Rumei ‘smack’, gave her a heavy slap across her face.

“Kneel down, did you hear that? It was all due to your making today. Had you not told your father about Liu Chushui hiding food, would your father have been so angry? It’s all your fault, kneel down quickly!”

“I…”

Liu Yushui was speechless with rage.

She simply wanted to ingratiate Liu Baixiao, just so she could have meals in the future. She had no idea that Liu Baixiao could be so cold and ruthless, nearly killing Liu Chushui.

“Anyway, I won’t kneel.”

Whatever is said, she will never kneel to Lin Caisang!

“You…you are trying to infuriate me to death!”

Looking at her defiant face and hearing her words, Liu Rumei, enraged, landed one slap after another on her face, turning Liu Yushui’s face all bloody.

“Will you kneel or not?”

While hitting her, she sharply questioned.

Those present in the courtyard were shocked by the terrifying appearance of Liu Rumei. Her own daughter, the most beloved one, was being hit so mercilessly.

Who else would be spared in her eyes?

Lin Caisang watched as Liu Yushui was beaten till her face was bloody and swollen. There wasn’t an iota of sympathy in her heart as she directed her cold gaze over her, towards Clan Chief Lin who was nearby.

“Elder Chief, now that my Second Uncle’s family are part of our village, right? Look at my cousin here, she is not even married, yet she’s carrying a child. Isn’t it time for you to intervene? If we allow her to give birth to this child, it will impact all the unmarried girls in our village,”

She reminded.

“Lin Caisang, you–”

Liu Yushui looked up in amazement, disbelievingly looking at Lin Caisang.

She never dreamed that Lin Caisang would kick her when she was down. She had heard about cases in other villages where a girl was caught having an affair before marriage and was sentenced by the village chief to be drowned in the pond.

Especially now, when she was even pregnant.

“Chief, Sangsang is right. This woman, having committed such a disgraceful act, should be drowned in the pond.”

As expected, several men started to voice support for Lin Caisang. They all had daughters at home, and if their marriage was compromised because of Liu Yushui, they would certainly take it out on Liu Baixiao!

“Yes, she should be drowned!”

“You…you all…”

Liu Yushui turned to look at the people and felt dizzy.

At this moment, Liu Baixiao didn’t know what to say. He just kept his head down, showing how much he was frightened by the Chief’s threat of expulsion.
