CHAPTER 738: CHAPTER 734: ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE (10TH UPDATE)
"Second sister-in-law, enough. Stop acting. We all heard what you and second brother said." Yu Liulang’s face was full of anguish.
From the moment Zhang Huai Shu said someone in the family had poisoned him, Yu Liulang never suspected Mrs. Li.
Even two hours ago, when Mrs. Li came to his room concerned about Xiao Hua, he genuinely believed this second sister-in-law had a true heart, that the usual beatings and scoldings to Xiao Hua were just due to a bad temper.
At critical moments, we always mattered to her.
Even when his second brother entered the room and Shuangshuang sent someone to eavesdrop, he thought it wouldn’t be anything serious.
But now...
"Liulang, listen to second sister-in-law. How could I poison you when I genuinely care for you and Xiao Hua? Don’t you trust my character?" Mrs. Li still stubbornly denied it.
Yet, Mr. Yu couldn’t bear to watch anymore.
"I only trust what my eyes have seen. Second, divorce this venomous woman. We cannot keep such a malicious woman."
"Father, I really haven’t done anything wrong. I was just joking with Second; who asked him to keep looking at Feng Xiaohua’s behind? I was just annoyed." Mrs. Li pleaded with Mr. Yu, still unwilling to admit her deeds.
However, everyone knew the truth.
"Second daughter-in-law, you may stop talking. None of us knew about this, not even your mother-in-law, who heard it from outside. You better confess, today we must end this with you." Mr. Yu declared.
"You said you didn’t poison, but none of us mentioned poisoning. How did you know? Don’t tell me you guessed.
You better confess everything, or I’ll go to the government to accuse you of attempted murder. Even if you escape death, you’ll spend your life in prison."
Upon hearing Yu Liulang threaten to hand her over to the government, Mrs. Li started to cause a ruckus.
"Yu Liulang, how can you be so heartless? I’m your second sister-in-law, not some stray animal. Are you trying to get me killed?" Mrs. Li stomped her feet hard, cursing Yu Liulang.
"Did you ever consider me as your brother? If you had, why would you poison me? If we’re talking about heartlessness, second sister-in-law, yours is truly black. Over the years, how have I wronged you for you to harm me like this?"
For a man, dignity is of utmost importance.
It’s akin to a woman’s pride.
Yu Liulang, not long after marriage, was rendered impotent by his sister-in-law’s poisoning.
No one could endure such a thing.
Yu Erlang, who stood nearby, was too stunned to speak. He still remembered when his wife mentioned preventing Feng Xiaohua from having a son.
He thought that it was just jealousy between women, which would calm down eventually.
Even if he felt his parents were biased, he never thought of harming his brother or his sister-in-law.
"Juhua, did you really do that?" Yu Erlang asked.
"You wimp, this is not your place to speak." As soon as Yu Erlang opened his mouth, Mrs. Li went mad, grabbing and scolding him.
She cursed him while humiliating him.
"I must have been blind to choose you, such a weakling, who not only does nothing but dared to steal from your sister-in-law. If you hadn’t stolen from Feng Xiaohua and had a bastard child, would I have said those things?"
Mrs. Li decided to throw all the blame on her husband and Feng Xiaohua.
"You... you venomous woman, how dare you slander me? It was you who swore to stop Sixth Brother’s wife from having children; I never thought you’d really do it."
"Second daughter-in-law, even Second points his finger at you. Do you have anything else to say?" Mr. Yu asked.
The old Yu couple, unlike Old Mrs. Mu and Mr. Mu, if such a thing happened in Old Mu Family, Old Mrs. Mu would have dealt with Li Juhua personally, with no mercy.
Given the current situation, the old Yu couple, aside from being angry and breathing heavily, none of them went up to beat Mrs. Li.
"Father, how can you say such things? How could you speak so coldly? I’ve been nurturing and serving the entire Old Yu Family for years without complaint.
And now? As soon as Feng Xiaohua arrives, you’re ready to give the stewardship rights of the tea plantation to her? What am I, Li Juhua, to you?"
Mrs. Li no longer cared. Even if her man didn’t defend her, she’d drag the whole Old Yu Family down with her.
"What stewardship rights, Second Daughter-in-law? Stop spewing venom. When did we ever intend to give the stewardship rights to Xiao Hua?" Old Mrs. Yu, regaining some strength, asked.
"When? Don’t you know what you said in the room? What’s wrong with me, Li Juhua? Did I fail to give the Yu Family grandsons, or did I bring shame upon the Yu Family?"
Old Mrs. Yu recalled Mrs. Li’s words and had a sudden insight. "You eavesdropped but didn’t hear the whole story. Your father and I agreed long ago that the tea plantation would be divided among the three sons. Putting Xiao Hua in charge was because these years, your elder sister-in-law’s health has worsened.
Since you refused to manage the plantation, sleeping till noon, I’m too old to keep running to the plantation every day." Explained Old Mrs. Yu.
Afraid Mrs. Li wouldn’t believe, she added, "Your elder sister-in-law knows this too."
Mrs. Zhang stepped out, "Juhua sister, I indeed know this because I suggested it. Xiao Hua wasn’t too familiar with tea before, but she is skillful and diligent, and you refuse to work at the plantation, leaving me needing a helper."
But Mrs. Li, blinded by jealousy, didn’t believe any explanation.
"Things have reached this point, of course, you’ll all lie together. I’m telling you, Li Juhua won’t yield. You know what you’ve done."
Old Yu Family wronged her.
Old Yu Family favored Feng Xiaohua.
"Hmph, Sixth, do you think your wife is anything good? The doctor said with the poison I gave you, it’s impossible to conceive.
Now she’s pregnant, she must have cheated, and she knows who she cheated with." Mrs. Li coldly sneered at Feng Xiaohua.
If Mrs. Li were cast away, Feng Xiaohua would also face ruin.
Pregnancy through betrayal would seal her fate.
"Second sister-in-law, even now, you’re still throwing dirt on Xiao Hua; she’s not pregnant, we’ve made this ruse to catch who poisoned me."
Yu Liulang’s words were like thunder, shaking Li Juhua to the core.
She swallowed and looked at Yu Liulang in shock.
"What did you say? Feng Xiaohua isn’t pregnant?"
"Yes, Xiao Hua isn’t pregnant. I was rendered incapable a month ago, so she couldn’t possibly be pregnant.
This time, Shuangshuang summoned a doctor for me. The doctor said I was poisoned seven or eight times to end up like this.
Who besides family could have poisoned me so much?"
