Chapter 158: From now on, you are not to use any excuse to extort us

Liu Shangang felt he had no face to see anyone; he didn't even want to look for people anymore, and he bent down, wanting to pick up his son.

Only, Chuxue would not let him have his way: "Wait a moment."

The two elders of the Liu family, who had rushed over upon hearing the commotion, asked: "What else do you want to do?"

Chuxue said with a look that was not quite a smile: "I want the eldest branch to make it clear in front of everyone that Liu Jiandong's fall and injury has nothing to do with our second branch, and from now on, you are not to use any excuse to extort us."

Old Woman Liu was so angry she reached out to push Chuxue, but Chuxue nimbly dodged: "Liu Chuxue, you have gone too far."

Old Man Liu, fearing that if his grandson were delayed too long, there would truly be a problem, shouted at his son: "Getting Dongzi to the health center is what's important."

Liu Shangang, being pressured in public by a junior, felt the veins on his forehead bulge with rage. But his son was important now, and besides, with so many people watching, even if he wanted to extort them, he wouldn't be able to. He lowered his voice and said through gritted teeth: "Consider yourself ruthless."

He then gave a light cough and raised his voice slightly: "It was Jiandong himself who was being playful; it has nothing to do with your second branch, and we won't come looking for you in the future. Is that enough?"

Seeing him concede, Chuxue stopped blocking them. After all, the valuable items in the house had long since been put away by her.

She also didn't want to get entangled with these people from the eldest branch. Coming here today was just to make the eldest branch's reputation even more foul.

She just hadn't expected that the one paying for their stupidity would be the male lead. Very good. Liu Jiandong's reputation was ruined, and the relationship was so ugly; let's see how he would leverage influence in the future.

Now that the eldest branch family and the Chen family, who had harmed the original owner, were all living in dire straits, this was very good. After all, didn't they want to use rumors to destroy her purity?

She could consider this as paying them back in their own coin. First, let them experience the suffering the original owner endured in her past life. As for the future, she would spare no effort to frequently add to their troubles. They shouldn't even think about turning things around in this lifetime; after all, this is what they owed the second branch.

Seeing that Chuxue no longer blocked them, Liu Shangang didn't care if his son would be hurt again, and roared at Ge Xiulan, who was still glaring at Chuxue: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and give me a hand."

But when the two of them carried the wailing Liu Jiandong back to the front gate, they suddenly remembered that they didn't have a single cent in the house.

Liu Shangang was panicking severely; he was truly afraid that his youngest son would end up like his second younger brother: "Put him down here first. I'll go to the livestock yard to borrow a mule cart. You go see if the third sister-in-law is in her room and borrow some money from her."

Although Ge Xiulan was unwilling, thinking of her son, she couldn't care about previous unpleasantness. However, she wasn't stupid this time; she looked at Old Woman Liu, who had stumbled over behind them: "Mom, I'll stay here and support Dongzi. You help me check if the third branch has any money, and help us get through this immediate crisis first?"

She knew that the third branch's maternal family had used connections to take on a job dismantling old buildings, and the third brother had been called away for it these past few days.

Just now, she had seen the third sister-in-law in the crowd, but the moment she saw them wanting to send someone away, she had immediately run off.

She didn't need to ask to guess what she was thinking, but the more she hid, the more she was determined to find her.

Old Woman Liu was also in a difficult position. The third daughter-in-law looked quiet and unassuming, but she was the hardest to talk to. Looking at her grandson still howling there, she sighed and entered the courtyard: "Third branch's wife, don't hide. Such a big thing has happened; hiding is useless."

Su Hongjuan had returned early precisely to avoid trouble. She hadn't expected the eldest sister-in-law to be so shameless as to bring out this old immortal to disgust people. She couldn't help but curse inwardly: "Being in the same family as you is truly eight lifetimes of bad luck."
