Chapter 114: Ge Pozi Comes to the Door

She had originally intended to use her old tactics to force the Second Branch into submission, but she never expected that dead girl, ever since being schemed against, to have changed into a different person entirely; you say one thing and she returns ten, leaving you with no way to refute her.

It truly makes one so angry.

Seeing Liu Chuxue, she was too lazy to pay her any more mind and went straight into the house.

Liu's father, somewhat worried, said, "Chuxue, if you can avoid snapping back at your grandmother, then don't snap back; do you not care about your reputation?"

Liu Chuxue wore an expression of utter disregard and said, "If I were still the person I was before, wouldn't I have been completely manipulated by Grandfather and Grandmother? I'm afraid that even for the money in my hands, they would not let the matter rest."

Liu's father also knew his daughter was right: "I fear they will seize upon your words to slander your reputation outside, after all, you are nearing the age for marriage talks."

Hearing these words, Liu Chuxue quickly spoke to stop him: "Father, I am still young; marriage talks are a bit early. Besides, I wish to accompany you two for a few more years; even if someone brings it up, you must reject them for me."

Perhaps also feeling ashamed, Ge Pozi stopped making noise and did not curse outside anymore.

However, before peace could last even a moment, wailing cries came from outside again: "Liu family, get out here! For the despicable things you've done, why should my grandson be implicated?"

Inside the house, Liu Jianqiang heard that voice and knew it was bad; his maternal grandmother had come to the door, and this family matter was likely to become known to everyone.

Ge Pozi, bringing her eldest daughter-in-law, began cursing as soon as she entered the courtyard: "Hurry and get my grandson out, or no one will have a good time, you conscienceless lot!"

Ge Pozi also had a belly full of anger: "What does my grandson's trouble have to do with us? How do you want us to not have a good time? Who are you calling conscienceless?"

Ge Pozi put her hands on her hips: "If it weren't for your family's rotten business, would my grandson have any trouble?"

In an instant, the crowd outside the Liu family door swelled again: "What's going on? How has this become connected to the Ge family?"

"I heard Ge Xiulan's nephew was also taken away by the Public Security Bureau."

"What, there's such a thing?"

"Indeed, otherwise why would Ge Pozi come over to make a scene?"

"What exactly is Ge Xiulan trying to do? How did she drag her own nephew into this? If something really happens, she probably won't be able to enter her maiden family's gate anymore."

When Liu's grandfather 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 rotten business, would my grandson have been implicated? You Liu family must give me an explanation for this matter. If anything happens to my grandson, I will not let you off."

"Enough! Stop it all!"

"Jianqiang, go up and pull them apart!"

Liu's old man, his face dark and gloomy, said: "Invite your grandmother and your aunt-in-law to the main hall; whatever the matter is, we will discuss it inside."

Having been made a laughingstock for two consecutive days, the face was truly lost completely.

Just now, he had gone to find the clan elder again, but they had no good solution either, advising him to comply with the Second Branch's demands; if his son and daughter-in-law were detained in the bureau for too long, it would do no good for the family.

He did not expect that, just as he returned, he would see his in-laws making trouble at home, causing another headache.

He knew this matter could no longer be delayed.

How the Ge family was appeased, Liu Chuxue had no interest in knowing.

After the Ge family members were pulled into the house, she went to Uncle Liangzi's house again; this had been agreed upon when the homestead was measured earlier: "Uncle, help me calculate how many bricks are needed to build this house?"

After returning from the end of the village, Uncle Liangzi had already calculated it and handed the paper to Liu Chuxue: "Just prepare the materials according to the quantities on this."
