Chapter 106: You Didn't Give the Patriarch Face Just Now, Won't That Be Not So Good?
Old Man Liu looked worried: "Regarding Second Son's matter, the old woman and I were indeed inconsiderate, but things have reached this point. Even if we want to make up for it, we don't have the ability. But we can't ignore the eldest. After all, we're counting on him to support us in our old age."
"Chuxue said that if she wants to loosen her grip, we must sever ties, and she also wants five hundred yuan in compensation."
"You must be clear about my family's situation. Since the second son has already lost his heart to us because of the injury, and now the eldest couple has done something wrong to Chuxue, I'm afraid it will be hard to get along well in the future. Then it's better to fulfill their wishes."
The patriarch's face was very ugly: "Old Five, you'd better think it through."
Old Man Liu filled his pipe with tobacco, lit it, and took a hard puff: "It's not that I want to sever ties, but I have to choose to sever ties for the sake of the eldest couple. As for the five hundred yuan, my family really can't take it out. I'll have to trouble you to help mediate."
Everyone understood. Old Man Liu meant that they could sever ties, but there would be no compensation. He was really dreaming.
The Liu clan patriarch spoke: "Old Five, it's no problem to make a trip to mediate, but if you want to let her loosen her grip without paying a cent, we don't have that ability. It's better for you to talk to her yourself."
Old Man Liu flashed an embarrassed look: "Patriarch, you misunderstood. My meaning is naturally the less, the better."
Actually, the patriarch really didn't want to manage his messy business, but who told him to have that status: "We understand your meaning."
After saying this, the Liu clan patriarch looked at the two village cadres, seeking their opinions with his eyes.
Seeing them nod, several people stood up at the same time.
But they entered the second branch's door, and after a few pleasantries, they heard Liu Shanliang say: "I understand your intention, but Chuxue is in charge of my family now. She went to school."
The patriarch said with a sense of "iron not becoming steel": "You injured your leg, not your brain. How can you let a girl be in charge of the family?"
Liu Fu sneered: "When I was injured and hospitalized, it was my Chuxue who held up a piece of sky for me. Without her, I'm afraid this leg wouldn't have been saved."
These words made the patriarch very embarrassed. After all, after Liu Shanliang's accident, the clan hadn't given half a cent of help.
Since things had reached this point, they could only exchange a few pleasantries and leave first, waiting for Chuxue to come back.
After they left, Liu Mu said with worry: "Shanliang, you didn't give the patriarch face just now, won't that be not so good?"
"I'm telling the truth, what's not so good about it?"
Liu Mu wanted to say something else, but seeing her husband's calm face, she opened her mouth and didn't say anything.
As a husband, Liu Shanliang naturally knew what she was worried about, but his daughter had said that everything would wait until she came back, so he naturally wouldn't tear down his daughter's stage.
He had naturally seen the changes in Chuxue during this period. While blaming himself, he also felt gratified. What he said just now about Chuxue being in charge of the family in the future wasn't just talk.
And at this time, Chuxue had already arrived at school.
She didn't enter the classroom immediately but went to the office to find the head teacher: "Teacher Xu."
Teacher Xu, who was looking at the lesson plan, heard the voice: "Student Chuxue, you've come to class?"
Saying this, he gestured for her to come in and also cared about her family situation.
After talking about it, Chuxue said: "Teacher Xu, I came here today to discuss something with you."
"What is it? Go ahead."
Chuxue explained her family situation: "Teacher Xu, although I asked for leave during this period, I have been self-studying. I was thinking, can I self-study at home and come over when it's time for exams?" ===== CHAPTER 110 =====
