Chapter 557: Did You Dig Up the Grave?

At that moment, Third Aunt Fu spoke up:

"Second Sister-in-law, this is where you’re wrong. No matter what, your parents-in-law passed away; you should have come back. They say we must honor the dead. And besides, Mingxue is still a granddaughter of our Fu family. Her own grandparents died and she didn’t even show up. Aren’t you afraid people will gossip and call her unfilial—"

Mrs. Fu slapped her across the face. SLAP.

Her expression was fierce.

"Who the hell do you think you are? My daughter has always walked the straight and narrow, so what is there to gossip about? I’ll tell you all one more time—my daughter and I have had nothing to do with your Fu family for a long time. Stop trying to drag her name through the mud. If I hear this again, I’ll beat you every single time."

"You... you—" Third Aunt Fu was so angry she could barely speak.

"Cut the crap. I still have the letter from a year ago severing our ties. The Fu family doesn’t know how to act like human beings, but you still expect my daughter to attend the funeral? The nerve of you all is incredible."

"And you! All of you! Don’t you dare get any ideas about my daughter. If any of you tries, I’ll skin you alive."

Her eyes blazing, she glared at the shameless crowd.

’Every last one of them... how did they have the gall to come here?’

"Now, get the hell out of here. If you don’t start moving, I’ll hack you to pieces."

Yan Hongwei was furious and shouted, "Xu Zifeng, you’re going too far—"

Mrs. Fu raised her hand to hit her.

Seeing this, Yan Hongwei quickly ducked behind her husband.

’She wasn’t stupid enough to just stand there and let Xu Zifeng hit her.’

’Hadn’t she just seen Third Aunt Fu’s face swell up from a single slap by Xu Zifeng?’

At that point, Eldest Fu spoke up. "Sister-in-law, we’re family, one way or another. Now that the elders are gone, we should be united. Let’s forget about the past. From now on—"

He didn’t get to finish before Mrs. Fu spat on the ground in disgust.

"—Who says I’m family with you? Haven’t you taken enough advantage already? Keep dreaming." From this day forward, she wouldn’t let the Fu family take another cent from her.

Seeing that she was completely impervious to reason, Eldest Fu lost his temper too. "Then what are you doing back here?"

At his words, Mrs. Fu let out a cold laugh. "Heh, I’m returning to my own home. What business is it of yours? By the way... did you people mess with my husband’s grave?"

The Fu family members, who had been furious just a moment ago, were suddenly startled.

’God, she really knows about the grave?’

’How did she find out?’

’So that’s why she’s here? Because of Fu Yongjian’s grave?’

Eldest Fu gave a strained laugh. "How could that be? Why would we ever touch our second brother’s grave? Where did you hear such a ridiculous rumor?"

Seeing their expressions, Mrs. Fu became instantly enraged. "So you really did mess with my husband’s grave?"

"We didn’t! Don’t make things up—"

"We’ll see if it’s nonsense or not once I go take a look. If I find that you’ve dug up my husband’s grave, I swear I’ll make the entire Fu family regret it."

Mrs. Fu was burning with fury.

Forgetting about going inside, she spun around and bolted toward the burial hill—

When the Fu family saw this, their expressions turned utterly grim.

There was, of course, also guilt and a palpable sense of dread.

"She’s been spouting nonsense from the moment she arrived. Looks to me like she’s just here to stir up trouble. Forget it. Let’s ignore her and go home."

With that, Eldest Fu turned and headed straight home.

Seeing this, the rest of the Fu family also beat a hasty retreat.

They were truly panicking. ’She won’t actually be able to tell, will she?’

The burial hill was some distance from the town.

The walk took about an hour, and by the time Mrs. Fu reached the burial hill, the sky had already gone dark.
