Transmigrating: I Married the Male Protagonist’s Uncle Chapter 882 - Falling Down From The Second Floor

Chapter 882: Falling Down From The Second Floor

“Huo Xuan, stop right there!” Ye Ru ran out of the house angrily and chased after her grandson, Huo Xuan. Her face was ashen from anger. “Stop running!”
Huo Xuan had gone to the room to get his game console. His game console had been hidden by his grandma, so he had wanted to run after grabbing it. He was afraid that he would be caught.
An eight to nine-year-old child was at the age when even dogs got annoyed by their mischievousness. He did not care that his grandma was chasing after him. The more he ran, the faster he became. Soon, he went down the stairs.
The commotion was loud, and the people in the few branches heard it. Cao Yunxian walked out of the house and smiled as she asked what was wrong. Then, she walked over to the railing, holding a handful of melon seeds in her hand. She was part of a true melon-eating crowd[1].
She liked to lean against the railing most of the time. She could see everything clearly below. She was the happiest when she was watching ‘shows’.
However, just as she leaned against the railing, the wooden banister shook and broke suddenly. She fell forward and her whole body plunged down.
After a horrified scream, a loud bang was heard, followed by another shrill blood-curdling scream of pain.
Ling Sheng stood by the side and watched as the banister broke. After Cao Yunxian let out a horrified scream as she grabbed the railing and fell, Ling Sheng hurriedly covered Xiaoqi’s eyes.
Her action was already very fast, but Xiaoqi still saw the moment she fell with the railing. He lowered his voice as though he was afraid of being heard and asked, “Mommy, Mommy, did the bad woman fall?”
For a moment, Ling Sheng really could not think of a way to answer her son’s question. He was still too young. How should she explain this to him so that it would not appear too abrupt?
When she saw the scene in front of her, she knew why Xiaoqi had said that Grandpa did not allow them to get close to the railing. Her very own father had likely tampered with the railing early on and expected Cao Yunxian to fall for it.
“Humph, evil has its retribution. She’s a bad person, so bad people deserve retribution.” Upon seeing his mother remain silent, Xiaoqi added angrily and even clenched his fists.
Upon seeing the child’s appearance, Ling Sheng was anxious. Cao Yunxian wasn’t a good person so she applauded indeed when she fell, but Xiaoqi was still a child. “Who told you that?”
“Grandpa!” Xiaoqi looked into her eyes seriously and whispered, “Mommy, Grandpa said that one can’t bully the weak. Those who bully the weak are bad people. She kicked a dog. The dog’s babies are dead.”
Speak of the devil… Huo Ci walked in and looked at the chaotic living room. His lips curled up as he said, “Oh, what’s wrong? It’s so lively today. What is everyone doing?”
The moment he walked closer, he saw Cao Yunxian still sprawled on the ground. No one surrounding her dared to touch her as they waited for the doctor to arrive.
The broken banister was crushed under her body, and the wood had all shattered. Her face was covered in blood, and she was groaning in pain. One could not tell where she had been hurt.
“Sixth Brother!” Huo Pei’s face was ashen with fury as he pointed at him angrily. “You did this, right? You tampered with the railing! Are you trying to kill someone?”
“Fifth Brother, you shouldn’t slander me for this. Did you see me do it? How did I tamper it?” Huo Ci’s face was full of innocence, while unrestrained delight, ridicule and disdain bubbled up in the depths of his eyes. “If you ask me, the banister has been worn down by years of non-repair. I don’t want to say this, but Fifth Brother, since you know that Fifth Sister-in-law likes this banister. You should check it properly.”
Huo Pei could not help but tremble in anger from head to toe. He pointed at him with red eyes. “Father, you should be the judge. Besides Sixth Brother, who else would do such a thing?”
Huo Xiao glared at him ferociously. “Do you have evidence? Don’t spout nonsense if you don’t have evidence. Which one of you saw that Sixth Son did it? That railing has been damaged for many years. Look at who’s been leaning against it watching shows every day.”
Huo Ci also complained, “Father, you saw it. As long as anything bad happens at home, I’m always the one who did it. Look at how well my older brothers treat me. Good things never fall on me but I’m the first person they think of whenever something bad happens.”
Cao Yunxian was already in so much pain that she could die. It hurt everywhere, but she could not tell exactly where it hurt. She gritted her teeth in hatred.
She knew very well that Sixth Brother Huo had deliberately harmed her to seek revenge for that b*stard dog! Was that dog his biological father?
Everyone present knew very well that Cao Yunxian’s fall was too strange. No matter how old the railing at home had been, it would not break for no reason.
It had to be Huo Ci. The last time, Cao Yunxian had caused a huge scene in front of him, and kept going on and on about b*stards. He had been enraged, so he took revenge!
That dog had fallen from above as well. The way Cao Yunxian had fallen was exactly the same as the dog.
However, without evidence, no one would speak up. If they did not see it, how could they prove that he had done it? Whoever chose to stick out was a fool.
Huo Pei called for Big Brother, Second Brother and everyone else one by one, but no one stood up for the couple. He was so angry that there was a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat.
Great!
They were really great. Did they want to stay out of this issue just because it was not their problem? They were truly his good older brothers!
Huo Ci let out a cold snort. As he passed by, he even specially took a look and asked in great concern, “Fifth Sister-in-law, are you all right? Where did you get hurt? I know a miracle doctor. Do you want me to let him take a look at you?”
Huo Pei pointed at him, his eyes red. He gritted his teeth and bellowed, “Sixth Brother, quit weeping crocodile tears and showing fake kindness!”
He did it!
He must have done it!
He was the only person in the Huo Family who was so arrogant and fearless!
“Fifth Brother, what are you talking about? We’re all one family.” Huo Ci deliberately provoked him by calling Zhang Zhong. Then, he video-called Cao Yunxian and pointed the camera at her. “Miracle Doctor, take a look. This is my Fifth Sister-in-law. She fell from the second floor. Could you see what kind of prescription she needs from you?”
She was a brainless fool! She could only be brainwashed! Let her nourish her brain. Evil, stupid, and ignorant!
Ling Sheng carried Xiaoqi on the second floor. There were so many people downstairs. She, who was the b*stard in their mouths, would be mocked by the crowd if she went down. When she saw her father putting on an act below, she was in a good mood. She felt great!
Sigh, it was not that the time for judgement had not come! Look, retribution had arrived!
When Huo Pei saw the video of him acting like an old man, he trembled in anger. “Father, are you still going to manage him? Look at the scumbag Old Six. What is he doing?!”
Huo Xiao could not sit back and do nothing either. He could not let him go overboard. He raised his walking stick and hit him. “You scumbag! Enough of your fuss!”
Huo Ci dodged and continued chatting calmly. “Miracle Doctor, how do I look now? Do I have to drink more medicine?”
Ling Sheng laughed until she cried. Father, you’re awesome. Even a wall has to give in to you!
