“You, you’re talking nonsense!” Lin Xue was so angry that her face turned red. She raised her hand and wanted to hit Lin Ran. She was simply too anxious and did not notice that she had stepped on a rock. The rock slipped and she fell to the ground. Her teeth hit another rock and knocked off her front teeth altogether.

Lin Xue burst into tears. Looking at the teeth on the ground, she wanted to die. She was only 12 years old. How was she going to face people in the future if her teeth were gone?

Lin Ran was stunned when she saw this scene. She looked at Lin Xue, who was crying on the ground and could not snap out of her daze for a long time.

Lin Ran never thought Lin Xue would dig her own grave without her doing anything. She was a girl, but not only was her mouth bleeding, but she also broke her teeth.

Yu Niang was doing housework. The moment she heard the crying, she rushed out. When she saw her daughter lying on the ground and crying while Lin Ran stood at the side, she said without thinking, “Ran, how could you bully Xue?”

“Auntie, I didn’t bully her. She fell herself. It has nothing to do with me.” Lin Ran was a little unhappy to hear Yu Niang accuse her without asking why.

“There’s only you and Xue here. Who else could it be but you?” Yu Niang did not believe it at all. She felt that her daughter was not stupid. How could she fall while she was just walking?

As soon as Yu Niang finished speaking, a voice immediately sounded. “Yu Niang, people say you’re good to Lin Ran and treat her like she’s your biological daughter. In my opinion, you’re just so-so. Lin Xue clearly fell on her own. Not only did I see it, but others also saw it. Yet you pushed the blame on Lin Ran without distinguishing between right and wrong. Fortunately, we all witnessed it. Otherwise, I don’t know how you would have wronged Lin Ran.”

“Liu Mei, why do you keep butting into my business? No one cares about your opinion, okay? I know Zhuzi dotes on you, but you can’t get away with everything. Let me tell you, this is my family’s business. Don’t interfere.”

“Do I look like I want to interfere? I just can’t bear to see you bully Lin Ran. She’s an orphan. As her aunt, not only do you not dote on her, but you even ganged up with your daughter to bully her. How shameless of you.”

“You… you… This is bullshit. When did I bully Lin Ran? Moreover, I’m her aunt and an elder in the family. It’s normal for me to scold her every now and then, right?”

“Why don’t we get everyone to judge and see if aunts behave like you?”

Yu Niang was so angry that her face turned red. Lin Xue was lying on the ground. When she saw her mother and Auntie Liu arguing, she was anxious and angry. She shouted, “Mother, Mother, Lin Ran took our family’s money. Look at how much stuff she bought. Get the money back. That money was earned by my father and brother. Even if we throw away the money, we can’t let her have it.”

Hearing her daughter’s words, Yu Niang looked at Lin Ran’s basket. Seeing the basket full of things, she could not help but be suspicious.

In her opinion, Lin Ran was still very young, so it was impossible for her to earn much money. This money should have been given to her by her husband and son.

At the thought of her man and son giving the money to Lin Ran, Yu Niang felt terrible. She took a few steps towards Lin Ran and was about to speak when Auntie Liu’s loud voice sounded again. She pointed at Lin Xue’s nose and scolded loudly, “I’ve seen shameless people, but no one is as shameless as you. You’re so young, but why are you so evil? When Lin Ran has something, you always want to take it from her. Since when did she become your mother?”
