Chapter 1774: Chapter 1327

"What did you say? I don’t believe it, I don’t believe Chunxia would ever say something like that!"

Mrs. Xu was a bit emotional: "Are you making things up to fool me?"

"Why would I need to?" Kang Li’s face was indifferent: "Auntie, if you don’t believe me, you can go ask Xu Chunxia yourself. Then you’ll know if I’m telling the truth."

But Mrs. Xu was still agitated, shaking her head: "No, I don’t believe it, you must be lying to me; Chunxia wouldn’t do anything so foolish!"

"Xu family, believe it or not, that’s your business. Right now, all you need to know is, Li Bao has nothing to do with your Chunxia. Anything about her has no relation to Li Bao, and you have no right to stand in our yard and criticize Li Bao."

Cai Xiufang heard Mrs. Xu arguing with Kang Li from inside the house. At first she managed to hold back, but when she heard Mrs. Xu acting like a madwoman and refusing to listen to Kang Li, she couldn’t take it anymore and came into the yard, angrily glaring at Mrs. Xu: "You need to leave our house right now, and don’t even step through our door in the future. Folks like you who refuse to listen, we at Old Kang’s Home don’t want to deal with you."

"So me coming to talk to Li Bao is wrong now? If Li Bao had called the village in the beginning to tell me and her Uncle Xu about Chunxia’s whereabouts, my Chunxia wouldn’t have ended up married and divorced, ruining her whole life!"

Mrs. Xu felt justified and stood her ground, not moving.

"Xu family, are you really going to make a ruckus here? Never mind Li Bao already told you everything she should, even if she didn’t explain a damn thing, she has no obligation to be your Xu family’s messenger. Besides, if Chunxia didn’t want to keep in touch with you all, that’s her own business. If Li Bao interfered, Chunxia would just hate her for it!"

Cai Xiufen looked pissed: "Besides, out of kindness, Li Bao did try to persuade Chunxia, but your Chunxia didn’t listen to a single word! And the only reason she’s survived till now is because Li Bao helped her out of the goodness of her heart. Otherwise, your Chunxia would’ve been nothing but a pile of bones by now!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Xu was stunned at first, then her expression changed: "What do you mean by that?"

"If you want to know, go ask Chunxia. Find out what she’s been up to and what she’s gone through all these years!" With that, Mrs. Xu called Kang Li to head back inside, but right then, a few onlookers came into the yard.

One of them was Cui the Loudspeaker. She glanced at Mrs. Xu and said: "Xu family, we all heard you just now blaming Li Bao. Not to mention anything else, just the way your Chunxia walks in front of people these days, it’s obvious she’s no decent woman."

"Cui the Loudspeaker, what nonsense are you spouting? How is Chunxia not decent? If you keep talking rubbish, I’ll rip your mouth apart!" Mrs. Xu bristled like a startled porcupine, baring her teeth: "If Chunxia’s reputation is ruined from today, I won’t let you, Cui the Loudspeaker, off the hook!"

"Who are you scaring?!"

Cui the Loudspeaker wasn’t impressed and said: "Just look at the way Chunxia carries herself—sure, I’m not very worldly, but even I can guess she wasn’t doing any honest work out there. As for that kid she brought home today, maybe she snatched him, or maybe she had him with some married man. Either way, your Chunxia didn’t learn anything good while she was gone!"

"That’s enough with your wild talk! That kid was born after Chunxia got married. I trust my Chunxia wouldn’t lie to me or her dad!" Mrs. Xu had looked closely at Xiao Yuhang’s features; maybe he didn’t look exactly like Xu Chunxia, but there was a definite resemblance, so she was sure the boy Chunxia brought home was indeed her own child.

"Whether Chunxia would lie to you and her husband, only Chunxia herself knows."

Cui the Loudspeaker turned to the woman next to her: "Don’t you think so?"

"That’s right."

The one talking to Cui the Loudspeaker was Li Daniu. She was just bored at home, planning to meet a few friends to chat, but happened to pass by Kang Li’s yard and run into Cui the Loudspeaker and two other women, then overheard Mrs. Xu accusing Kang Li in the Kang Family’s yard.

"Li Daniu, you and Cui the Loudspeaker are going too far! My family never offended you, do you really need to ruin Chunxia’s reputation?"

Mrs. Xu was furious with both Li Daniu and Cui the Loudspeaker, her eyes blazing as she glared at them.
