Chapter 488: Chapter 483: Going Back to Hometown Troublesome Matter 18 [Explosive Update 12]

——————

Fan Hongshan saw the situation heading towards what she had guessed, her heart aching painfully. She looked at her kind and virtuous eldest sister-

in-law with red-rimmed eyes, not even glancing at her elder brother, and in her heart, she hated Fan Fengshou even more.

But now, the most important thing was to win back her sister-in-law.

Therefore, Fan Hongshan, bypassing her mother who could not yet face reality, approached Yan Jinsu and Xie Jinghong, and sincerely apologized:

"Sister-in-law, eldest sister-in-law, I’m sorry, it’s my Fan Family’s fault for not acting properly. But this matter truly has nothing to do with my elder brother, if you must be angry, be angry at my mother.

Eldest sister-in-law, I beg you, for the sake of your three nephews, forgive my elder brother this time? Whether they are without a father or without a mother, neither is a happy situation, right?

Anyway, you and your husband have already moved out, and from now on you don’t need to come back to see mom! Just let that shit-stirrer Fan Fengshou take responsibility!"

"Fan Hongshan, you—"

Li Xiaochun’s legs turned to jelly under Yan Jinsu’s intimidating gaze, and upon hearing Yan Jinsu’s threatening words, her spirit was frightened; she hadn’t expected to hear her daughter say such things, disregarding her face and life and death, her actions quicker than her brain’s reaction, she slapped her in anger. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com With a "smack," the slap landed squarely on Fan Hongshan’s left cheek, the swelling on her forehead already noticeable, and now the left side of her face swelled up!

"Mom!" Fan Jiefang hurriedly stepped forward to support his elder sister, who was about to fall, his voice filled with helplessness and indignation.

He really hadn’t expected that his mother would slap his elder sister in front of so many people .

Before, his mind had been focused on his wife’s face, and it was only upon hearing the sound that he reacted.

Thinking that his elder sister could still be hit squarely by his mother while standing next to him, Fan Jiefang’s gaze towards Li Xiaochun bore a hint of wariness.

Unexpectedly, after being slapped with a heavy blow, Fan Hongshan revealed a smile—a smile more heart-wrenching than crying.

"Ha, mom, you still haven’t come to your senses!" Fan Hongshan staggered two steps backward from the slap, but Fan Jiefang supported her in time, preventing her from falling.

She slowly straightened her face, revealing the disheveled bruising, and seeing her mother as if only now realizing what she had done, she laughed self-mockingly:

"Mom, my elder brother and his wife have given enough to you and Fan Fengshou over the years. Please show mercy and spare them. Do you really want our Fan Family to return to the dullness of ten years ago?

Do you think Li Xiaoxia’s maternal family is that powerful? Heh, Li Family can only be somewhat prominent in Baiyun Town! Outside of Baiyun Town, the Li Family is nothing!

Do you really want to wait for my elder brother to lose his job before you regret it?"

As she spoke, her gaze met with Yan Jinsu, whose expression hadn’t changed, a look of earnest pleading on her face, hoping she would be merciful.

Having mingled in the official circles with her husband for a few years, she had gained a bit of insight, though lacking in other respects.

This Xie Family sister-in-law, at first glance, was not an ordinary woman! The dignified air about her was something even the daughter of the town’s mayor did not possess!

But she could not voice it out and could only blame her mother internally: Keep it up! Once the Fan Family is ruined, Fan Fengshou will learn his lesson.

Li Xiaochun, furious, clutched her head, her daughter’s accusatory eyes, her eldest son’s aloofness and wariness, all made her head spin; her gaze flickered and caught sight of Xie Jinghong’s face—

"Ah, it’s all your fault, it’s because of this deadly vixen’s presence that has made my Fan Family’s home restless. I’ll kill you!"

Li Xiaochun, enraged like a madwoman, with bloodshot eyes, was yelling loudly while charging at Xie Jinghong with her fist clenched, ready to land a punch on Xie Jinghong.

Zhou Xiuhua covered her chest, watching the scene unfold before her eyes in slow motion—

As Li Xiaochun made her move, Fan Jiefang immediately sensed it. Before her body reached Xie Jinghong, he swiftly stepped in, blocking in front of Xie Jinghong. Li Xiaochun’s fist, instead of hitting Xie Jinghong, landed on Fan Jiefang’s chest!

Fan Jiefang did not stop Li Xiaochun’s frenzied action but stood like a mountain in front of Xie Jinghong, bearing all the hits from his own mother.

Until Li Xiaochun came to her senses and slapped him across the face with a ’smack’, cursing him as an "unfilial son!"

Silence fell upon the entire scene.

Li Xiaochun cursed and struck Fan Jiefang wildly until the sounds of her hitting him ’bang bang’ made Xie Jingwei wince and Xie Jinghong simply bowed her head, hiding her facial expression.

When Li Xiaochun was finally exhausted and collapsed onto the muddy ground, it was as though the air could flow again.

Indeed, it was a farce.

Yan Jinsu just let out a "huh" of laughter, contemptuously looking at Li Xiaochun, ridiculing her clownish behaviour.

And Fan Hongshan could only sheepishly bow apologetically to the Xie Family, repeatedly saying sorry:

"I’m sorry, my mother has hysteria, and she’s made a fool of herself. Sister-in-law, please pretend as if my mother never came here. My brother and I will never agree to the adoption, you can trust us this once."

Xie Jinghong wanted to raise her head to respond but was pulled back by Zhou Xiuhua, who glanced at her mother and siblings before turning her silent gaze to Fan Jiefang.

Just when Zhou Xiuhua felt a palpitation in her chest, seeing her son-in-law protect Da Niu with his robust physique eased her heart back to normal.

Seeing the pained expression on her son-in-law’s face and the indifferent face of her daughter, she hurriedly stepped in before Da Niu could utter hurtful words, addressing the relatively reasonable Fan Hongshan:

"All right, since things have escalated to this point today, you should take her home first.

Jiefang, I will have a good talk with Da Niu. Even if not for both of you as a couple, we must consider the three children. Do we really want to turn our in-laws into enemies?

Jiefang, when you go back, also try to talk some sense into your younger brother. After all this chaos because of him, yet he doesn’t even show his face. What does he think, that he can take advantage of the Xie Family?

Children are always innocent. If there really needs to be an adoption, then do it as Shitou’s wife said, let everyone adopt, fairly.

You really need to get your grandmother checked out. If this happens once, we could say it’s an accident, but if it happens several times, who can stand it?

If things really can’t work out, then, as Da Niu said, let’s part on good terms, no hard feelings."

After finishing her words, Zhou Xiuhua firmly pulled her daughter back into the yard.

Throughout, Li Xiaochun kept mumbling ’hmm, hmm’ as Fan Jiefang covered her mouth. Hearing Zhou Xiuhua’s words, she had a lot to retort but neither Fan Jiefang nor Fan Hongshan wanted her to speak.

Seeing his mother-in-law leaving with his wife and children, Fan Jiefang’s face displayed a sense of loss. Suddenly, he struck the back of his mother’s neck with a hand-chop—Li Xiaochun finally fell silent and fainted into the arms of Fan Jiefang.

Seeing her elder brother’s actions, Fan Hongshan felt a great sense of relief internally and a spasm at the corner of her mouth, followed by sharp intakes of breath. Now that the situation had come to a close and the emotions had settled, she felt sharp pain all over her face and head!
