Chapter 155: Enough — Are You Two Ever Going to Stop?
Liu Shangang's veins bulged with anger: "You really don't see me as your big brother anymore, do you?"
Liu Chuxue, who had walked over from the side, let out a snicker: "What a funny thing to say — you've already cut ties, so where does this 'big brother' come from?"
Liu Shangang saw Liu Chuxue stirring up trouble again: "What right do you have to speak here?"
Liu Mother, hearing this, would not stand for it: "This is my family's territory — why can't my daughter speak her mind? Besides, isn't what she said the truth? The severance document has your own signature on it. Don't you think it's a bit ridiculous coming here now to claim kinship?"
Hearing the commotion, the people working nearby all stopped what they were doing and looked over.
This made Liu Shangang even more furious: "Second Brother, you're really not going to do anything about it?"
Liu Shanliang pulled a thorn branch out of the ashes: "What they said isn't wrong — what would I manage?"
Liu Shangang wiped his face: "Second Brother, even if we've cut ties, we're still villagers of the same village, aren't we?"
Liu Shanliang, out of patience: "We're all busy here — no time to listen to you lecturing us. What exactly do you want?"
Liu Shangang took a deep breath: "I want to borrow some money from you."
Fearing Liu Shanliang would refuse, he quickly added: "Not much — three hundred will do."
The moment those words left his mouth, the men around let out a collective hiss: "Three hundred and you say it's not much? You've got some nerve saying that out loud."
Before Liu Shanliang could say anything, Liu Mother exploded first: "Your whole family almost ruined my daughter, and now you want to borrow money from us? Have you no shame left?"
As she spoke, she grabbed the shovel beside her.
Liu Shangang stepped back: "What are you doing?"
Liu Mother snatched up the shovel and swung it at him: "Shameless lot, the whole family of you — how dare you open your mouth to ask?"
Liu Shangang was truly terrified this time — Liu Mother was holding a shovel, and he valued his life dearly. He immediately took off running toward the village: "You crazy woman — if you dare hurt me, I'll make sure you end up behind bars!"
Liu Chuxue, also afraid Liu Mother might actually hurt him badly by accident, quickly shot a look at Fu Yan Cheng standing nearby.
Fu Yan Cheng caught up in a few strides. Just then Liu Mother had also worn herself out, and with a few words he took the shovel from her hands: "Auntie, why bother arguing with a man of no character — don't let it hurt your own health."
That's what he said, but the shovel in his hands flew off the moment it reached him.
The shovel handle happened to land squarely on Liu Shangang's back, and the thud of the shovel hitting the ground scared him so badly he didn't dare stop running.
Liu Mother's eyes went wide — she had seen it clearly: the shovel handle had struck him hard. The fire in her heart instantly died down quite a bit, and her good impression of Fu Yan Cheng grew even stronger than before.
The Liu family, who had been waiting anxiously, asked the moment they saw Liu Shangang: "How did it go? Did Second Brother agree?"
Liu Shangang hadn't even caught his breath: "Don't even think about it. Second Brother hates us to the bone now — he won't go soft."
Seeing Seeing Seeing Ge Xiulan reached out and shoved him: "How can you be so useless?"
Liu Shangang had already been bottling up his anger, and now he finally exploded — he raised his hand and slapped her: "I've given you too much face, haven't I? If you hadn't insisted on doing things that way, would we have ended up like this?"
Seeing Seeing Seeing Ge Xiulan hadn't expected her husband to hit her: "Liu Shangang — you dare hit me!"
In an instant, the couple were brawling in the yard.
Liu Jianqiang, already in a foul mood, thought of how his wife had packed up and gone back to her parents' home, and roared directly: "Enough! Are you two ever going to stop?"
After the shout, he turned around and went straight into Liu Jiandong's room, dragging him out: "This whole thing started because of you, and yet you sit there acting like it has nothing to do with you — how shameless can you be? Since the trouble was caused by you, you step up and settle it."
