Chapter 19: Family Support

In the first gang fight, although Lin Xiangnan defeated Liu Laohei and his son, he was unable to take care of Hu Meili and Lin Xiangxi.

After the fight, Hu Meili had a slap mark on her face, Lin Xiangxi had a black eye, only Lin Xiangnan seemed fine.

Even so, Hu Meili was still arrogant.

She spat, spitting out the blood foam in her mouth, and scolded Liu Laohei, “You heartless man, you actually hit me, I’ll scratch you to death.”

Compared to Hu Meili and her daughters, Liu Laohei and his sons had more color on their faces. Liu Honghe sat on the ground, sucking in cold air, his leg hurt so much that he couldn’t stand up, Liu Hongying’s face had several bloody scratches from fingernails.

Their family was fighting loudly, but the people in the courtyard were asleep, not a single person came to persuade them.

For small problems, the neighbors would come to persuade them and inquire about the situation.

But everyone knew the reason for the Liu family’s fight today, right and wrong were clear, they couldn’t stand on either side, so they pretended not to know.

The next day, when everyone in the courtyard got up, washed up, and cooked, they were all shocked to see Hu Meili and her daughters.

After a night, the bruises on everyone’s faces had spread, except for Lin Xiangnan, everyone’s face was a purplish blue, Liu Laohei’s eyes were swollen into a slit.

Hu Meili was listless, she had a slap mark on her face, she said to the older sister she was familiar with in the courtyard, “We’re not going to the factory today, please call in sick for us.”

“I understand.” The other woman nodded knowingly, she was about to gossip about the situation, but she saw Hu Meili dart out the door.

Lin Xiangxi was embarrassed to go out with his face bruised. When Lin Xiangnan went to school to call in sick, she also called in sick for him.

When Lin Xiangnan came back after calling in sick, she was just at the entrance of the courtyard when an auntie winked at her and excitedly said, “Your grandpa and your two uncles are here.”

Another auntie winked and hinted, “They all brought weapons. They’re here to support you and your mom.”

Lin Xiangnan smiled awkwardly.

You might not believe it, but Liu Laohei was the one who was beaten up the worst yesterday.

Who told him to want to slap Lin Xiangnan, she couldn’t stand his bad temper, if he dared to hit her, he should be prepared to get hit back.

Hu Meili had won the fight last night, but she was still righteous and indignant today, she brought her family to vent their anger.

Hu Daxi came in a rage, he thought that when he saw Liu Laohei, he would punch him first.

But when he saw Liu Laohei’s face, he couldn’t bring himself to do it.

There wasn’t a single good patch of skin on that face, it wasn’t appropriate to hit anywhere.

He looked at Hu Meili in shock, but he turned to Liu Laohei and asked aggressively, “Did you hit my sister last night?”

Hu Meili immediately became wronged, she pointed out, “He hit me in the face. Anyway, I can’t live with him anymore, I want to divorce him.”

“Big Brother, look at my face.” Liu Laohei said aggrievedly, “I’m already beaten up like this, what more do you want from me?”

Hu Daxi looked at his father nervously and asked him for advice.

This situation was different from what Hu Meili had said at home.

Hu Laodie said calmly, “No matter what, you’re a grown man, it’s wrong to hit a woman, our Hu family doesn’t have this rule. I only have one daughter, when Meili was at home, I spoiled her the most, I can’t let her suffer any injustice. I support her divorce.”

Liu Laohei was shocked, “Dad, Meili and I have been together for so many years.”

Hu Laodie shook his head, “This is a matter of principle. When Meili was with you, she liked you because you were honest, who knew that you would actually hit her now.”

“I didn’t intend to hit Meili. It was Xiaonan, she hit me first…”

Lin Xiangnan snorted angrily, “I hit you, so you hit my mom? What kind of logic is that?”

“I can’t just stand there and get beaten for nothing.” Liu Hongying spoke for Liu Laohei.

Lin Xiangnan didn’t retort, she just said, “If you want to talk about divorce, then talk about divorce. Why bring up other things?”

Both sides were arguing about right and wrong, Zhao Qi, the catalyst for this incident, also came with his parents.

The Zhao family also came with bad intentions, as soon as they arrived, they asked sarcastically, “Oh, the Liu family is having a party. Who is Liu Hongying, my good daughter-in-law, come out and let me see you.”

A stranger suddenly appeared, Hu Meili glared at her and said rudely, “Wait over there. I’m discussing a divorce with the Liu guy, when we’re done, you go talk to the Liu guy about the young people’s marriage.”
