Chapter 129: Wouldn't it be more fun to let them fight like dogs then?

Chen Jiefang had just entered his own courtyard when he saw his eldest son rush out anxiously: "Dad, how did it go? Did you get the letter of forgiveness?"

Chen Jiefang's face darkened as he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Chen Weidong asked anxiously, "What happened?"

After parking his bicycle, Chen Jiefang said, "I didn't even get a chance to bring up the matter of the letter of forgiveness."

Chen Weidong looked completely baffled: "Why?"

Chen Jiefang, furious, slapped the handlebar of his bicycle. The force was so great that the pain made him unable to reply immediately; he grimaced and took a long time to recover before speaking: "Before I could even mention the letter of forgiveness, that madwoman from the Liu Shanliang family grabbed a broom and started beating me.

Afterwards, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family also claimed we harmed her and her nephew, refusing to let the matter drop. Moreover, that girl from the Liu family is no pushover; she called us ungrateful Bai Yanlangs in front of the whole village. Even if I spoke up, they probably wouldn't agree."

"People are saying all sorts of things outside; I don't even dare to go out anymore."

"If it really can't be helped, don't wait for your mother. Have your wife arrange a few simple tables to welcome your brother into the home, and that should shut the mouths of the busybodies in the neighborhood and at Weiping's workplace."

"We can only do that then."

Hearing the conversation outside, Miao Xiaohe looked unwilling, but she knew there was no way to shirk this matter. Thinking that Hu Liru was not someone easy to deal with, she felt inexplicably annoyed, thinking: This family probably won't have any peaceful days from now on.

In Liushu Village, after Liu's mother had calmed her anger, she asked: "Chuxue, are we just letting the Chen family off like this?"

Thinking of the Chen family's current situation, Chuxue couldn't help but smile: "I went to the county today and heard that Chen Weidong got into trouble..."

She told Liu's mother the whole story of Chen Weidong being arrested for molesting a woman.

Liu's mother cursed again in a fit of rage, finally concluding: "It's truly what they deserve. The Chen family is finally seeing evil repaid with evil. Let's see how arrogant they act from now on."

Seeing that Liu's mother had vented her anger, Chuxue said: "It's a good thing they didn't want me. If I had married into that family and they started causing trouble again, that would have been disgusting."

Anyway, she had already collected the compensation. Now, the old Chen patriarch had suffered a stroke and was hospitalized; even if Chen Weiping didn't lose his job, he probably had no room for promotion in the future; without her letter of forgiveness, Chen's mother definitely wouldn't get out, and no matter how long her sentence was, she would certainly have a criminal record; as for Chen's father who came to the village today, with such a thing happening in his family, his career was effectively over.

As for Chen Weiping and Hu Liru, after making such a spectacle of themselves, it would be strange if they could live well, and besides, she had kept a backup plan.

Calculating the time, the original book's heroine, Ding Surong, would soon be sent down to the countryside. At that time, wouldn't it be more fun to let them turn on each other like dogs?

Thanks to the bond formed over the bowl of stewed fish chunks at noon, the uncles and elders who were helping in the afternoon worked even more diligently.

When work ended in the evening, Uncle Liangzi came specially: "Shanliang, the stones for the foundation are almost ready. I ran into Old Yu just now on my way back. He said tomorrow is a good day. If you are willing, you might as well go over tonight."

Old Yu's ancestors were all feng shui masters, but now that superstition is being broken, he rarely reads such things for people anymore.

The Liu couple exchanged a glance and were just about to speak when they heard Chuxue say: "Alright, I'll go over tonight."

After chatting for a while about the house construction, Chuxue saw Uncle Liangzi out: "Uncle, we don't know much about building houses, so please take extra care."

"I've been friends with your father since we were kids running around naked, so of course I'll take care of it. Don't see me off; go back and get busy."

As Chuxue turned around, she saw a shadow flicker past the doorway of the third house and couldn't help but roll her eyes.
