Chapter 272 I want a divorce
"Mom, I'm really sad when you say that." There was a slight tremor in Liu Xiuxiu's voice. She lowered her head slightly, her eyes slightly red, as if she was really hurt by her stepmother's words.
She bit her lower lip gently, trying to hide her inner embarrassment and uneasiness, but her flashing eyes revealed her true emotions.
Liu Xiuxiu tried to raise her head and forced a smile on her face, but the smile seemed so far-fetched, as if it would disappear at any time. She said softly: "I really just want to come back to see you and your brother. After all, we are a family and the blood relationship cannot be severed."
After hearing this, Liu Xiuxiu's stepmother snorted coldly, crossed her arms over her chest, frowned, and her eyes were full of disdain and dissatisfaction. She glanced at Liu Xiuxiu with contempt, and a mocking arc appeared at the corner of her mouth:
"Okay, stop pretending to be pitiful in front of me. Before you got married, you liked to act like a bad boy, making the people in the village think that I was abusing you."
At this point, Liu Xiuxiu's stepmother's voice suddenly rose a degree, her face full of anger and disgust:
"I accepted your betrothal gift and severed my relationship with you out of consideration for your dead father. I was merciful not to ruin your marriage. You still want to come back now. What bad intentions have you got up to?"
Liu Xiuwen felt very embarrassed when he saw his mother getting more and more excited and her face getting uglier and uglier. He knew very well that his mother had a hot temper and no one could stop her once she got angry.
Moreover, there were already some people around who had heard the noise and came out to watch the fun, and he didn't want the incident to get any bigger.
So he hurriedly walked forward, took his mother's arm, and whispered: "Mom, let's go inside and talk. There are so many people here and they are gossiping. Don't let outsiders laugh at you." As he spoke, he secretly winked at Liu Xiuxiu, signaling her not to speak for the time being.
Seeing this, Liu Xiuxiu also understood that the current situation was not favorable to her, and she didn't want to argue with her stepmother here. So, she nodded, pursed her lips slightly, and decided to remain silent for the time being.
When Liu Xiuxiu's stepmother saw the embarrassed expression on Liu Xiuwen's face and glanced at the neighbors who were watching the excitement, her face suddenly became gloomy. She widened her eyes, glared at the onlookers, and shouted loudly: "What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I will come to your house to make trouble!"
"Mr. Liu Qiang, why are you so overbearing? I can't even do that at my doorstep." The aunt with droopy eyes from yesterday retorted unyieldingly, with her hands on her hips, looking like she was going to argue with her to the end.
"Okay, then is it okay for me to stand at your door and curse at you?" Liu Xiuxiu's stepmother did not show any weakness and her voice became even sharper. After she finished speaking, she turned around and stormed into the house.
Seeing this, the old lady with droopy eyes cursed inwardly and turned back to her home. The other neighbors who were watching the fun saw this and realized that there was nothing fun to watch, so they also dispersed.
After entering the house, Liu Xiuxiu's stepmother turned around and looked coldly at Liu Xiuxiu who was following behind her. She put her hands on her hips, with a hint of disdain on her face, and asked directly: "Tell me, what's the matter with you coming back this time?"
Liu Xiuxiu was questioned directly by her stepmother, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face. She took a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm, and then said with gritted teeth: "Mom, I came back this time... because I want a divorce, I hope you can help me."
After saying this, Liu Xiuxiu's eyes were slightly red, she lowered her head, not daring to look her stepmother in the eye. She knew that her request might make her stepmother even more dissatisfied, but she still decided to speak out because she really needed help.
When Wang Cuicui heard Liu Xiuxiu say she wanted a divorce, her expression instantly became gloating. She raised her chin slightly, a mocking smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were full of disdain and contempt.
She thought to herself, "It seems that this sister-in-law is not doing well in the city. She is even going to get a divorce."
Liu Xiuwen maintained a sister-brother relationship with Liu Xiuxiu. He looked at his mother and moved his lips as if he wanted to say something for Liu Xiuxiu, but in the end he did not open his mouth.
His eyes revealed his concern and worry for Liu Xiuxiu, but in this family, he knew that his say was not important.
"Whose high-class wife have you climbed up to again? Are you planning to divorce and marry someone else?" Liu Xiuxiu's stepmother said sarcastically, her face full of disdain and contempt. She put her hands on her hips and glared at Liu Xiuxiu fiercely, as if she wanted to see through her.
Liu Xiuxiu was hurt by her stepmother's words, and she hurriedly explained: "No, I didn't..." But before she could finish her words, she was rudely interrupted by her stepmother.
"I don't care what your reason is. Anyway, I won't care." The stepmother waved her hand impatiently and turned away with a cold face. Her back looked so resolute, as if the blood relationship between her and Liu Xiuxiu was completely severed at this moment.
