Dressed as a vicious stepmother, farming and raising cubs

Chapter 25 "Surviving the Disaster"

When Su Liu came down the mountain, he saw Su Tao and a group of villagers gathered at the entrance of the village.

Her expression was exaggerated, and her hands were gesturing with something, as if she had just been frightened.

When Su Liu approached, she deliberately showed an expression as if she had seen a ghost.

"It's her! The murderer, she pushed Shen Mingchen down!"

Everyone looked at Su Liu with doubts in their eyes.

One of the women, Qi Ming, seemed particularly anxious, and she was a little resentful when she looked at Su Liu.

That was Shen Mingchen's daughter-in-law. After hearing that something happened to her man, she hurriedly came from home.

Su Liu raised his eyebrows calmly and asked: "You must provide evidence when you speak. Has anyone else seen this besides you?"

"There are so few people in the mountain, how could a second person see it?" Su Tao still insisted that he would die.

She was actually gloating over the fact that Shen Mingchen fell off the cliff.

Not only was he silenced, but Su Liu was also charged with murder. He could reap the benefits and maybe find an opportunity to get close to Shen Luochen.

Unexpectedly, Su Liu changed the subject at this time.

"I went up the mountain today to collect herbs. Sister, I remember that you don't know herbs and you don't know how to hunt. What did you go up the mountain to do?"

As she spoke, she showed the medicinal materials she collected to the villagers.

The villagers were immediately more convinced of her words and turned to look at Su Tao.

"I...I'm going..." Of course Su Tao couldn't give any reason. After all, she went up the mountain purely to harm others.

While she was being asked, Su Liu pressed on and asked:
"Could it be that you went up the mountain just to see Shen Mingchen?"

The surrounding villagers all had expressions of realization. Shen Mingchen was idle and refused to do any heavy work. They were all wondering why this man fell off the cliff. Now they have found the answer.

It is self-evident that a lonely man and a widow meet each other in the mountains.

"Okay, so it was you, the bitch, who seduced me!"

Shen Mingchen's wife immediately rushed towards Su Tao angrily, yelling and scolding, tearing and beating her.

Su Tao, who was already weak, was beaten to the point where she was unable to fight back, and she started to cry aggrievedly.

Finally, Su Liu looked impatiently and reminded:
"Okay, let's go look for it at the bottom of the cliff while it's still dark. Maybe we can find a whole body. If it's later, it will be eaten by wild beasts."

She didn't feel guilty about Shen Mingchen, after all, the other party also came to kill her.

When the villagers heard this, they immediately reacted and stopped eating. They picked up the guy and walked towards the mountain.

Shen Mingchen's wife no longer fought with Su Tao. She just glared at her angrily and left with the large army.

Suddenly, only Su Liu and Su Tao were left.

Su Tao was still a little afraid of facing her alone, so she quietly prepared to leave without saying a word.

"stop."

Su Liu stopped her with cold eyes.

"I don't know what you want, but if something like this happens again, your end will be a hundred times more miserable than Shen Mingchen's."

She felt that she was too good-tempered in the past, so she allowed Su Tao to argue with her.

After such a big incident happened this time, she realized that she could no longer tolerate her.

Su Tao bit her lip, not daring to express her anger. She snorted lightly and walked away quickly. Su Liu didn't stop her this time.

In the evening, when Su Liu was about to take a rest, there was a knock on the door outside.

When I opened the door, I saw that it was one of the villagers who helped search for Shen Mingchen during the day. "We found someone! He is alive and breathing!" The villagers who came were sweating profusely. They had obviously just finished their work, but they had a look of joy on their faces.

"Is the injury serious?" Su Liu was a little surprised and asked.

"It has been sent to the doctor. He is not awake yet..." the villager said and shook his head again.

"Unfortunately, the doctor said that he might not be able to save his leg."

"That's it..." Su Liu nodded thoughtfully to the villagers, "I understand, thank you for telling me."

The villager nodded in response and then left.

Unexpectedly, Shen Mingchen was still alive despite his fate. Su Liu thought that he should discuss this matter with Shen Luochen.

After hearing the whole story, Shen Luochen's reaction was very calm.

"It doesn't matter. If the uncle's family comes to cause trouble again, just send them away."

"Shen Mingchen will probably bite him to death because I pushed him, and it will be more troublesome for Su Tao to testify for him."

Su Liu felt a slight pain in his head, and the current situation was a bit difficult to end.

She also thought that since Shen Mingchen had no proof, as long as she refuted Su Tao's accusation, she would be at peace.

Shen Luochen thought for a moment, and a sinister look appeared on his face: "Since they did something unjust first, don't blame us for retaliating with tooth."

Su Liu didn't know what plan he had thought of, but she believed that with his ability, he could solve this matter.

"Thank you." She suddenly straightened her face and said seriously.

A flash of surprise flashed in Shen Luochen's eyes, and then he curled his lips slightly: "No, thank you for taking care of Le Yan and the others during this period."

Although they didn't say it openly, both of them knew that they were now truly trusting partners.

Shen Mingchen was indeed seriously injured and was in a coma for half a month. During this period, he almost couldn't hold on several times.

But his vitality was extremely tenacious. He regained consciousness half a month later, but he still couldn't get out of bed, and one of his left legs was completely disabled.

According to the doctor, he may have to rely on crutches for the rest of his life.

When he woke up, he insisted that Su Liu had harmed him.

Naturally, the uncle's family came to the door aggressively again, and even brought his grandparents, except Shen Mingchen himself.

Su Liu and Shen Luochen were naturally ready to "fight" at any time.

The uncle's family started chattering as soon as they entered the door, and everyone was talking about it.

"Luochen, you must give an explanation for what happened this time. Mingchen is the last laborer in my family. How can our family survive now that he is like this?"

The eldest aunt got straight to the point and wiped her tears with a handkerchief from time to time, looking grief-stricken.

Grandma looked like an unquestionable elder and said in an almost commanding tone:

"If your wife does something like this, you have to take care of Mingchen for the rest of her life."

Su Liu noticed that there was an old man standing next to grandma this time. He must be the grandfather who had never shown up. However, he had no sense of presence and had not said a word since he entered the house.

Facing many relatives, Shen Luochen cleared his throat and said:

"The matter is not clear. Can you please be quiet?"

But the eldest aunt didn't buy it, and said in an excited tone: "Mingchen said it himself, and there were other people who witnessed it. How could there be a problem?"
