Mrs. Liu was both angry and heartbroken, pulling her daughter and constantly scolding her through tears: "You wretched girl, what are you up to? Are you so desperate for a man? You have a fiancé but still sneaked into the woods with your cousin? Not only did you harm us, but you harmed your cousin too!"
Now, not only is the daughter ruined, but even the son of her brother’s family is done for.
People had already come earlier to wreak havoc, and the good young man was thrown into the detention center. How could his reputation remain intact? They were already poor, and now finding a partner would be even harder! Originally good relations between the two families were now at odds. All of this was caused by Liu Qingshuang, this unfilial daughter!
Liu Qingshuang saw her usually doting parents suddenly become so heartless, and she cried too.
"It’s not my fault, I was framed!"
"Shut up! Wasn’t it you who took your cousin there? What else is there to say? You were caught naked and your reputation is ruined!" Mr. Liu was so enraged he wished he could strangle his daughter: "I’ll pretend I never had a daughter like you! Don’t come home; it’s embarrassing! You live a good life and only know how to disgrace yourself! Hurry up and find a date to get married! Once a daughter is married, she’s like water splashed out. Any future incidents will have nothing to do with us. Let’s just leave it at that!" If it had been another man, it wouldn’t have mattered; she could just marry him straight away. But it was her cousin, and the law doesn’t even allow such marriages! How absurd!
Anyway, once married, even if the mother-in-law later finds out, just deny it to the end, and surely the son wouldn’t divorce her over this.
However, as she was plotting, her future mother-in-law arrived. Seeing Liu Qingshuang’s grim expression from a distance, Liu Qingshuang’s mind buzzed, nearly causing her to collapse to the ground.
She remembered that she personally called yesterday, asking her mother-in-law to take her sister-in-law over there, saying the job was arranged. There was no need to ask; given the situation, they must have heard about her incident.
Mrs. Liu was very nervous, letting go of her daughter and quickly walked over: "In-law, you are..."
But the woman acted as if she hadn’t heard, bypassed Mrs. Liu with a stern face, and walked to Liu Qingshuang, throwing a red cloth bundle in her face: "These are some of the clothes you gave our family before. Calling off the engagement!"
Liu Qingshuang frantically tried to grab her: "Aunt..."
"Don’t touch me, filthy!" The woman gave Liu Qingshuang a dirty look without saying another word, she walked away directly.
Originally, she wasn’t very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, but considering she had a decent job and could help get her own daughter in too, she reluctantly agreed.
Yet, bringing her daughter along to find people earlier in the morning, she heard what Liu Qingshuang did, almost fainting from it. She was a highly respected teacher, and now she’s being mocked because her future daughter-in-law fooled around with another man in the woods. Her lifelong reputation was ruined! If they really got married, spit from the gossip would probably drown her!
Mrs. Liu wanted to chase her, but Mr. Liu pulled her back: "Forget it, things are like this now. Why chase? Pack things and let the girl leave!"
"Mom, help me!" She threw herself at her mother: "I was truly wronged, my cousin and I did nothing!"
Mrs. Liu pushed away her hand, reluctantly saying: "Keeping you here, I wouldn’t be able to face your uncle! You’ve messed up his son’s life so much, you better not come back for now, or you’ll be the one getting beaten! Go to your Third Grandpa elsewhere, wait for the situation to settle down and then come back."
Liu Qingshuang anxiously tugged at her sleeve: "No, Third Grandpa’s place is the countryside. I won’t go! Mom, please, beg Aunt, I can’t call off the engagement. I don’t want to end the engagement!"
The thought of going to that impoverished and isolated place, having to do farm work, made her want to die!
She went back to the sanatorium, ready to fight Sun Chan to the bitter end, but to her surprise, she wasn’t even allowed in.
