Chapter 230: Not Wanting the Least Bit of Connection with Them

What they didn't know was that as soon as the village head returned to the village, he went straight to the new house of Liu Chuxue: "Shanliang, are you busy?"

Liu Shanliang saw the village head had arrived and thought, surely nothing happens without a reason: "Village head, why have you come over?"

He thought in his heart that the village head had probably come to act as a mediator.

Instead, the village head glanced around, pulled him aside, and said: "Shanliang, I just came back from the health station and came specifically to give you a warning. Although Old Man Liu's injuries are not light, they haven't damaged his internal organs; resting will heal him. But Old Woman Liu is quite troublesome. The Physician said her lumbar vertebrae are dislocated. If things go wrong, she might have to go to the city hospital for surgery.

You know the situations of the eldest and third branches. Even if they don't go to the city hospital, it will likely cost a huge sum. You must be careful; they might act desperately when cornered."

Liu's father actually didn't quite understand: "We have already severed ties. Do they still want to shamelessly drag us into their affairs?"

Liu Chuxue, who had been listening to the whole thing nearby, understood the subtext: "Uncle Village Head, thank you for making the trip. When we heat the room later, you must come to lend us your presence. At that time, let my father treat you to a few more drinks."

Hearing these words, the village head's face was full of smiles. Finally, there was someone who understood; his trip was not in vain.

After seeing the village head off, Liu's father was somewhat confused: "Xue, what riddle are you two playing?"

Liu Chuxue pulled him into the room where Liu's mother was sewing a quilt: "Who just came?"

Liu Chuxue had Liu's father sit down before speaking: "It was Uncle Village Head."

Liu's mother was somewhat surprised: "Why did he come? Could it be that those two families sent him to act as a mediator?"

Liu Chuxue waved her hand: "No, but you must be mentally prepared."

Liu's mother looked puzzled: "What mental preparation?"

Liu's father also looked at his daughter.

Seeing they hadn't figured it out, Liu Chuxue said: "Before, they might have had some reservations. But now, since they can barely get by, they will definitely cause trouble. Think carefully: what desperate move will they make?"

Hearing this, Liu's father frowned continuously. Suddenly, he thought of something and raised his head sharply: "The house?"

Liu's mother widened her eyes: "Are you talking about the house we were allocated?"

Liu Chuxue nodded: "That is my thought. If they don't mention it, we will sell it to Ding Zhiqing as originally planned. If they want the house, give it to them quickly. From then on, we go our separate ways."

It was not fear of them, but simply having no desire whatsoever to have any connection with them.

As for the male and female leads, she would think of another way to ensure they remained bound together.

Liu's mother wanted to say something, but Liu Chuxue interrupted: "That house is only worth fifty yuan. Compared to living peacefully in the future, which is more valuable?"

Liu's father took a deep breath: "Liu Chuxue is right. Since we are severing ties, let us do it cleanly."

Thinking of the chaotic days at the old house with chickens flying and dogs jumping, Liu's mother had no desire whatsoever to be involved: "Fine, I will listen to you."

As expected, in the afternoon, the brothers Liu Shangan and Liu Shanling came over.

Liu Shangan was probably afraid of losing face and was too embarrassed to state his purpose in front of the workers: "Shanliang, we have come to talk to you about something."

Liu Shanliang had already prepared himself mentally, but he could not grant their wish: "What could there be between us?"

Liu Shangan coughed lightly: "Shanliang, let us go over there to talk."

As he spoke, he pointed to the locust tree not far away.

Liu Shanliang spoke firmly for the first time: "Say whatever you have to say right here. Don't you see I am still busy?"
