The air seemed to have solidified. Shi Chunfen buried her head low, not daring to look into the eyes of anyone around her. But even if she didn't raise her head, she could still feel the suffocating atmosphere around her.
Chu Ling's words were cruel and realistic, but they were more of a provocation. As Chu Xiu's brother, there was no need for him to treat him with this attitude. The reason why he did so was simply because he was dissatisfied with Chu Xiu for helping her out.
That’s all.
Shi Chunfen lowered her head and curved her lips into a silent self-deprecating smile. Was she already so annoying to him?
She is so annoying that even his brother would be angered for helping her...
Chu Xiu's face was livid. It was obvious that Chu Ling had touched a sore spot. Of course he knew what he would face if he married Wang Jixue. However, with the Chu family's methods, they would not let those rumors become the talk of the people. But those remarks
Just because it doesn't appear doesn't mean the fact doesn't exist.
Before him, Wang Jixue fell in love with Chu Ling first. This is an indisputable fact.
Chu Ling actually had the nerve to use this matter to pressure him, which was simply too much!
The Lord of Huating County coughed lightly, breaking the dead silence in the room, "Ah Xiu, your elder brother is right. If you regret it now, it's still too late..."
Wow——
Chu Xiu stretched out his long arm and swept the tea cakes on the small table next to him on the floor. "If it were the eldest brother who wanted to marry Wang Jixue today, would mother still say this?"
The face of Huating County Lord looked ugly, "These are different situations, how can you confuse them with each other?"
The sarcasm on Chu Xiu's face became even stronger, "I don't think there is any difference. If there is, it is just because I am not the eldest brother."
After saying this, Chu Xiu stood up and walked away.
The head of Huating County looked at his back blankly, his face suddenly turned pale. Was he blaming her as a mother?
Chu Ling sneered, his eyes filled with coldness, "I finally said it. I think he has been thinking about it for a long time."
Shichun Equinox looked up in surprise.
Could it be that Chu Ling deliberately provoked him?
The head of Huating County also thought of this and narrowed his eyes, "What did you find?"
Chu Ling looked calm, "There is no need to find out deliberately, he showed it so obviously, even a fool knows that he hates me."
"hatred?"
The mayor of Huating County chewed this word in shock. One son used this word to describe the other son's feelings for him. The two of them are brothers!
"How could this happen?" The head of Huating County covered her mouth in disbelief. Although she had long discovered that Chu Xiu's mood when returning to Huating was not right this time, she did not think much about it, thinking that it was just that the child had grown older and had changed.
She must be mature and steady, and the quarrel with Chu Yan has been lingering in her heart, so that she completely ignored Chu Xiu's mood. Now that she thinks about it carefully, it is true that many things have already been revealed.
Chu Ling was very calm, but when he mentioned this topic, the corners of his lips were still stained with a bit of bitterness, "I don't know either."
In the past years, although his brotherly relationship with Chu Xiu was not very good, it was definitely not too bad. They were always siblings and should support each other, but he never thought that they would still be able to support each other.
Instead of helping each other, they became enemies overnight.
Except for the fact that Chu Xiu did not return to Liuzhou for New Year's Eve last year because the mountain road collapsed, Chu Ling could not think of any other opportunities that would lead to such a big change in him. But in that accident, he checked everyone around Chu Xiu and found no one.
No clues can be found, but the more so, the more doubtful he becomes. If the same thing is said by a hundred people, there will be at least ten different answers, but now those people all agree on the whole thing.
There's nothing fishy about it, it's a strange thing in itself.
The head of Huating County looked at him and didn't even know what to say.
This incident shocked her so much that she still hasn't reacted to it. The two children she gave birth to resented each other. This is something that is difficult for any mother to accept, especially their brother who was born before.
There seems to be nothing wrong with your brother Gong, but this makes her even more confused and unable to bear it.
Shi Chunfen is actually the calmer one among them, just because she has only a few contacts with Chu Xiu, and she has never seen him and Chu Ling showing deep brotherhood, so there won't be any gap in her heart, it's easy
The earth accepted this fact.
The only thing that made her feel uneasy was that the conflict between the two brothers seemed to be inexplicably intensified by her appearance.
If she hadn't come to see the head of Huating County today, wouldn't the scene have been so embarrassing?
I don't know how long the three of them were silent, but the head of Huating County finally said: "Don't think too much, I will have a good talk with Ah Xiu to see what dissatisfaction he has in his heart. You are always brothers, and you can't do it for anything.
This little thing makes all the difference."
Chu Ling shook his head, "If talking could solve the problem, he wouldn't leave in anger today."
If Chu Xiu could really return to his previous appearance because of a conversation, it would only mean that he was further away from them, and even started to use acting to deal with their concern.
The head of Huating County was a little at a loss, "Then what should we do? We can't just do nothing and watch your brother's temperament change drastically, right?"
She was completely disappointed with the Chu family and did not want to lose two more sons.
Whether Chu Ling or Chu Xiu, they were both her darlings and treasures. She could never just watch their brothers turn against each other, and there was nothing she could do.
Chu Ling's words shattered her hope, "Everything has changed. No matter how hard we try to force him, it won't help. We can only take one step at a time to see when he will find his way back."
In other words, if Chu Xiu himself doesn’t want to change, no one can force him.
The head of Huating County was speechless. At this moment, she suddenly realized her negligence. She waited until Chu Xiu became what he is now to find out what was wrong with him. What made her blame herself even more was that it was Chu Xiu who was wrong.
What Ling discovered, if Chu Ling hadn't said anything, she would have accepted Chu Xiu's changes in a daze until he drifted away from them.
When Shi Chunquin listened to their discussion, a feeling of powerlessness gradually spread in his heart.
But she was not unfamiliar with this feeling of powerlessness. She had already experienced it once before when she was driving Yu Atu back to Liuzhou.
Although the relationship between her and Yu Atu is not as close as that between Chu Ling and Chu Xiu, the reason for their alienation is the same.
It's just that one party is living a good life, while the other party is unsatisfied with the status quo. Under the strong sense of gap, they turn from relatives to enemies.
It was relatively easy to solve Yu Atu's case, because what she wanted could not be given by Shi Chunquin with a nod, so no matter how unwilling she was, she could only compromise in the end.
Chu Xiu was different. What he wanted was not necessarily just Wang Jixue, so he had such a big reaction when faced with Chu Ling's difficulties.
