Chapter 111: Old Woman Ge comes knocking

She had originally intended to use her old tactics to force the second branch to submit, but she hadn't expected that this dead girl had been like a different person ever since she was schemed against. For every sentence you said, she could fire back ten, leaving you with no way to retort.

It was enough to make one die of anger.

Liu Chuxue saw her like that and, not bothering to pay her any more mind, walked straight into the house.

Father Liu said with some worry: "Chuxue, if you can avoid clashing with your grandma, then don't. Don't you care about your reputation?"

Chuxue looked unimpressed: "If I still had my old temperament, I’d be manipulated to death by Grandpa and Grandma. I’m afraid they wouldn't let up, all for the sake of the money in my hands."

Father Liu also knew his daughter was right: "I’m afraid they’ll use your words against you and ruin your reputation outside. After all, you’re almost at the age for marriage."

When Chuxue heard this, she quickly stopped him: "Dad, I’m still young, it’s too early to talk about marriage. Besides, I want to stay with you for a few more years. Even if someone brings it up, you should turn them away for me."

Perhaps feeling ashamed, Old Woman Liu quieted down and didn't curse outside anymore.

But they hadn't had peace for long before wailing sounds came from outside: "People of the Liu family, get out here! Why should your wicked deeds implicate my grandson?"

Inside the house, Liu Jianqiang knew it was bad the moment he heard the voice—his maternal grandmother had come knocking. He feared the family’s business would soon be known to everyone.

Old Woman Ge, accompanied by her eldest daughter-in-law, started cursing the moment she entered the courtyard: "Get my grandson out here immediately, or no one will have a good time. A family of heartless wretches!"

Old Woman Liu was also holding back a belly full of anger: "What does your grandson’s trouble have to do with us? How do you plan to make us have a bad time? Who are you calling heartless?"

Old Woman Ge stood with her hands on her hips: "If it weren't for your family’s mess, could my grandson be in trouble?"

In an instant, the area outside the Liu house was surrounded by people: "What’s going on? How is this linked to the Ge family?"

"I heard Ge Xiulan’s nephew was also taken away by the police."

"What? There’s that too?"

"Of course, why else would Old Woman Ge come here to make a scene?"

"What on earth is Ge Xiulan trying to do? How did she even get her own nephew involved? If something really happens, I’m afraid she won't even be able to step foot in her maiden home anymore."

When Old Master Liu heard the news and rushed back, the two old women were already fighting: "If you want your grandson, go find your daughter. It has nothing to do with us."

"If it weren't for your family’s damn business, my grandson wouldn't have been implicated. Your Liu family must give me an explanation for this. If anything happens to my grandson, I won't spare you!"

"Enough! Both of you, stop!"

"Jianqiang, why aren't you going up to pull them apart?"

Old Man Liu had a dark face: "Invite your grandmother and aunt into the main hall. Whatever the matter is, we’ll talk inside."

Being made a laughingstock for two days in a row—his face was truly lost.

He had just gone to find the clan leader, but even there, there was no good solution. They advised him to follow the second branch’s demands; if his son and daughter-in-law were detained in the station for too long, it wouldn't be good for the family.

He hadn't expected that as soon as he returned, he would see his in-laws making a scene, giving him another headache.

He knew this matter could not be dragged out any longer.

Chuxue had no interest in knowing how they pacified the Ge family.

After the Ge family was pulled into the house, she went to Uncle Liang’s home again, as they had agreed when measuring the homestead: "Uncle, can you help me calculate how many bricks are needed to build this house?"

Liangzi had already calculated it after returning from the end of the village and handed the paper to Chuxue: "Just prepare the materials according to the quantities on here."
