Chapter 23: It is the Liu family that is unrighteous, not the second branch that is unfilial

Old Man Liu looked up at Chuxue. He didn't expect that the calmest one at this time would be this granddaughter. Listen to what she said, it really is true that you can't judge a book by its cover.

Thinking of what the doctor said yesterday, he took a deep breath and made a choice in his heart: "Second branch's wife, you also know the situation of the family. We are indeed willing but lack the ability."

Liu Mu felt sorrow from her heart when she heard this: "Father, is Dongzi's job more important than my husband's leg?"

Old Man Liu's face sank: "You also heard the doctor's words. Even if you go to the city, it is impossible to recover as before. Since that's the case, the family can only look forward and look far. Only when Dongzi is well can our whole family be well."

Liu Chuxue suppressed the anger in her heart: "Since this is Grandpa's choice, we have no opinion. So we are self-reliant and find a way to solve it ourselves. But what did Grandma do? She chased after us and made a scene to stop us. Is this what a mother should do?

I really doubt if my father is your biological son."

She said this on purpose, and then stared at Old Man Liu's face without blinking.

This old man could really pretend. After a brief panic, he calmed down immediately: "Your grandma was confused for a moment and her brain didn't turn the corner. She was just afraid that your brother Dongzi's job would be ruined."

Liu Chuxue cursed in her heart: What an old fox.

Liu Chuxue wouldn't give him a chance to change the subject: "So Grandpa's meaning is that Grandpa agrees with us borrowing money from people who get along well, right?"

Old Man Liu didn't expect Chuxue to be so difficult: "Since you are willing to try, the family naturally shouldn't stop you."

Chuxue struck while the iron was hot and forced him: "Then the money my mother borrowed, will the public fund pay it back?"

She wanted him to make a choice in front of those who were climbing the wall to watch the joke. To put it bluntly, she was forcing him—no, she was forcing the Liu family to mention dividing the family.

Old Woman Liu was the first to be unhappy: "The money was borrowed by you, what does it have to do with the public fund?"

"So, Grandpa and Grandma really don't intend to take care of my father's leg and let him fend for himself?"

Ge Xiulan was afraid that her father-in-law would be pressured and agree to this debt for the sake of face: "Your father's leg will be a bottomless pit in the future. The family has old people and young people, so it's not good to ignore everything and focus on him, right?"

At this time, the third aunt, Su Hongjuan, who had been silent, reminded them seemingly kindly: "Second sister-in-law, second brother's leg cannot be delayed. Given the current situation, it would be better for you to divide out and live alone. That way you can do whatever you want and make your own decisions, saving time."

As soon as she said this, Old Woman Liu quickly gave her eldest daughter-in-law a wink.

Ge Xiulan immediately understood and said deliberately: "What is the third sister-in-law saying? If the second branch is divided out at this time, won't the villagers say our Liu family is unkind? Stop adding to the chaos."

Originally, she didn't want to divide the second branch out at this time. After all, her nephew's request hadn't been fulfilled yet.

But when she saw Chuxue and Xia Qiu appear together, she understood that they had worked in vain. Not to mention plotting for her nephew, she was afraid that the matter of ruining that girl's innocence would also be ruined. It seemed she had to think of another way.

Liu Mu heard the words of the two sisters-in-law and knew that the matter was done. The reason she didn't cut the Gordian knot was to let everyone see that it was the Liu family that was unrighteous, not their second branch that was unfilial.

Since the goal had been achieved, what were they waiting for?

Her daughter was right, they must take this opportunity to make things clear with the Liu family so they could live a peaceful life in the future.
