Chapter 224: The Person Behind

She had helped feed the child for a while, so she naturally knew there was a triangular red birthmark on the child's side.

But she was gambling; if the person who came to take the child discovered it, they could simply swap the child back, and at worst, offer an apology.

Yet that person asked nothing, simply came to take the child away, saw the child was lively, and took the child away.

In fact, Jiang Huiwen, who had entrusted her to the elderly couple of the Liu family, knew nothing about the triangular birthmark on the child's side, so when she sent the message out, she naturally did not mention these details.

Liu Chuxue was furious; the consequence was that she directly kicked Ge Pozi in the leg. The force used was not small; only a crisp "Crack!" was heard. Just as Ge Pozi was about to scream, Liu Chuxue struck her with a knife-hand chop, knocking her unconscious again.

After swapping with the old man Liu inside the space, Liu Chuxue continued to interrogate the old man Liu using the same method.

Unexpectedly, this person was even more cowardly than Ge Pozi; as soon as Liu Chuxue placed the blade against his neck, he immediately begged for mercy.

Liu Chuxue asked the old man Liu the same questions; what he said matched what Ge Pozi had confessed, with basically no discrepancies.

It seemed that to uncover the identity of Liu's father, she would still have to meet the old woman named Jiang Huiwen.

Seeing there was nothing more to ask, she raised her hand and knocked the man unconscious, then pulled the sleeping Ge Pozi out of the space, and directly threw both of them into that small cave, ensuring that wild beasts in the mountains would not discover them immediately.

As for whether they could return in one piece, it was still that same saying: it depended on fate. For such selfish people, Liu Chuxue considered not taking their lives directly to be kindness, after all, they had caused Liu's father to waste half his life here; she could not remain indifferent.

With the matter settled, she increased her speed and headed down the mountain; she really kept thinking of ghosts and monsters, feeling eerie.

After returning home, she entered the space to wash up first, and only then exited the space to rest.

The next day, she was woken by the sound of arguing outside: "Big Brother, if I have no external debts, I must be responsible for Mom and Dad's medical expenses. What kind of talk is this? Are you trying to fool a fool?"

"Shanling, you know my family's situation. I didn't say you must manage it forever; I just really have nowhere to borrow money right now, so I ask you to manage it temporarily for once."

It turned out that someone had gone up the mountain in the morning and found the old man Liu and the old woman Liu lying by the roadside, and had been so frightened that they immediately ran back to the village to call for help.

The old man Liu had been beaten quite badly by the man who went back to report the news; Ge Pozi had a dislocated lumbar spine. Both were now unable to move and could only beg their two sons to take them to the commune.

But the eldest son and the third son could not reach an agreement, and now it had escalated into a quarrel.

Now the Liu family's courtyard gate was surrounded by people: "Whoever the elderly couple of the Liu family offended, we don't know, but they struck so viciously."

"Shangang and Shanling are really something; if they keep arguing, these two might die of pain. These sons were raised for nothing."

"One cannot say that. Before, the Liu family was robbed clean; later, the eldest branch had that incident, and they borrowed so much external debt. Now, probably no one dares to lend them money again. As for Shanling's family, they have no external debts, but when the family split, they received not a single penny. If he stepped forward to borrow from the villagers, he should be able to borrow some, but did you see the look in Shanling's wife's eyes? How could she let Shanling go borrow?"

Su Hongjuan now hated her in-laws and the eldest branch to death; if it weren't for their acting up, their own daughter would not have gone to the neighboring county for a blind date. How could she possibly agree?"

"Instead of arguing here, the two brothers should go find Liu Shanliang. I don't believe that even if they cut ties, he would really let them die without saving them. Before, he took so much compensation from the eldest branch; if he doesn't care, he will probably be talked to death by the villagers."

Happy New Year, good fortune in the Year of the Snake!
