Chapter 277: Self-Blame

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Tang An’s eyes turned red.

Tang Yuan glared at Tang Yu. “It’s not my sister’s fault. It’s your fault. The Liu family won’t blame us. Also, your father will be imprisoned.”

Tang Yuan pulled Tang An. “Sister, let’s go home.”

Tang Yu gritted her teeth in anger. “Little bastard.”

Madam Wu was flustered. She pulled Tang Yu. “Stop it. What if your father is really imprisoned?”

Tang Yu was not afraid. “Mother, Liu Dalang was the one who hit Father. If Father is imprisoned, we’ll sue Liu Dalang and let him go to jail too.”

Tang Yu thought that if Madam Wei found out it was Tang An who caused Liu Dalang to go to jail, she would definitely ask Liu Dalang to break off the engagement.

Madam Wu gritted her teeth. “That’s right. We can’t let Liu Dalang off so easily.”

When Liu Dalang was arrested, Tang An panicked. Upon returning home, she immediately burst out crying.

Tang Yuan lowered his head and blamed himself. If he did not tell Liu Dalang what happened, Liu Dalang would not have gone to argue with Tang Maosheng and hit him.

Tang Yuan looked at Tang An, who was leaning against the wall and crying. He patted Tang An’s shoulder. “Sister, it’s all my fault. Don’t cry. Now is not the time to cry.”

Tang An shook her head. “It’s not your fault. It’s my fault.”

If she did not meet Liu Dalang in the first place, he would be fine. He would not be arrested by the government.

Tang Yuan felt a lump in his throat. “Sister, this is not your fault. It’s their fault. Sister, let’s go and tell Aunt Wei. We’re in the right. We don’t have to be afraid.”

Tang An sniffed and wiped her tears. “Yuan, you stay at home. I’ll go.”

Tang Yuan wanted to say something, but Tang An stood up and grabbed his shoulder. “Yuan, be a good boy. Wait for me at home.”

Tang Yuan wanted to say that he would go with her, but when he saw the sadness in Tang An’s eyes, he nodded. “Okay, I’ll stay at home and wait for you to come back.”

Tang An forced a smile on her face. “Okay, I’ll be back soon.”

No matter what, she had to tell the Liu family about it even if that would cause the Liu family to hate her.

However, she did not want Tang Yuan to see this.

If there was any suffering, she would face it alone.

Tang An calmed herself down and left.

What she didn’t know was that as soon as she left, Tang Yuan came out too, following behind her closely.

Tang An walked very fast. There were a few times when she was on the verge of bursting into tears, but she forced herself to remain composed.

When she arrived at the Liu family’s house, Tang An knocked on the door.

Liu Sanniang came to open the door. “Tang An, come in.”

Tang An looked at Liu Sanniang’s gentle smile and her eyes turned red. “Sanniang, I’m sorry. Something happened to Dalang.”

Liu Sanniang’s heart tightened. “What happened to my brother?”

Tang An bit her lip hard to stop herself from crying. She said with difficulty, “It’s all my fault. He was arrested by the government. If I could just put up with my uncle, things wouldn’t turn out like this.”

Tang An lowered her head and muttered. “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault.”

Liu Sanniang held Tang An’s hand and comforted her with her warm power. As long as her brother was still alive, she was not scared. Instead, she was more worried about Tang An who kept blaming herself.

“Tang An, don’t worry. It’s not your fault. My brother will be fine.”

Apparently, she had to go and see Li Guanfeng earlier than she wanted to.

The woman beside Li Guanfeng could not hold on for much longer. Liu Sanniang thought that Li Guanfeng would get over it and let go, but from the looks of it, it was probably not gonna happen.

Tang An’s eyes were red from crying. Liu Sanniang pulled her into the house. “Tang An, don’t blame yourself. I won’t blame you, and my mother won’t blame you either. It’s not your fault.”

Tang An felt a lump in her throat. “If only I could put up…”

Liu Sanniang did not let Tang An continue. “If you put up with them this year, what about next year? What about the year after next? Do you want to tolerate them forever? Even if you can put up with them, what about Tang Yuan?”

Tang An stopped talking. She knew that her thinking was wishful. Her uncle and aunt would never realize their mistake and treat them well.

Liu Sanniang did not continue. She knew Tang An would understand what she was trying to say.

When Liu Erlang returned, he saw Tang Yuan leaning against the wall and listening. He walked over. “Tang Yuan, why are you eavesdropping standing here?”

Tang Yuan was shocked and wanted to scurry away but Liu Dalang grabbed him by the shoulder. “Since you’re already here, why don’t you go in? Don’t you want to eat the food your auntie makes? Don’t you want to walk General Black with me?”

Tang Yuan felt sorrowful. “Second Brother Liu, you might not want to see me after this.”

Liu Erlang did not hear him clearly. “What are you mumbling about? Speak louder. Men should act like men. You have to speak louder, understand?”

Liu Erlang dragged Tang Yuan back home. He could not run away even if he wanted to.

When Liu Erlang returned home, he found that Tang An was also there. He scratched his head. “Yuan, did you have a quarrel with your sister? If you did, this is your fault. As a man, you should not start a quarrel with a woman. You even made her cry. If my brother finds out, he will be angry.”
