Chapter 231: Sever Ties Completely

Liu Shangan hadn't expected him to give him not an inch of face, and he too grew angry: "Are you sure you want to say this here?"

Liu Shanliang's face turned cold: "We have already severed ties; is there anything we need to say in private?"

Liu Shangan's face immediately darkened: "Since we have severed ties, then you probably are not suitable to live in our Liu family's house anymore."

Liu Shanliang turned his head to look at him: "Is this your meaning, or the old couple's meaning?"

"Naturally it is the old couple's meaning; they are inconvenient to come now, so they entrusted this matter to me."

Liu Shanliang glanced at Liu Shanling, who was following behind the eldest: "You hold this meaning too, correct?"

Liu Shanling hadn't expected Liu Shanliang to ask him directly: "This is mother and father's meaning; we also find it hard to disobey, don't we?"

Chuxue stepped forward at this moment: "Father, since they intend to take things to the extreme, then let us grant their wish."

Having prepared oneself mentally was one thing; them actually coming was another; it was truly chilling to the bone: "Very well, I agree to this matter, but you must invite the Party Secretary, the Village Head, and the elders of the clan to bear witness."

The two brothers exchanged a glance; they probably hadn't expected it to go so smoothly.

Liu Shanling no longer pretended this time: "Very well, I will go find them and bring them over right now."

Not long after, the Party Secretary, the Village Head, and the elders of the clan arrived one after another; the Clan Head spoke first: "Regardless, Shanliang is still your brother; do you truly intend to do this?"

Liu Shangan, at this moment, did not hide or conceal anything: "My mother's condition is not very good; she might need to go to the city for treatment. Currently, we cannot spare a single cent, so naturally we cannot stand by and watch her suffer without doing anything."

"Even so, what does this have to do with Shanliang's house?"

"Ding Zhiqing wants to rent that house; once we take back this house, we will have an income, won't we? If we weren't forced to this point, we wouldn't do this."

The onlookers who had come to watch the spectacle were full of contempt in their eyes: "This Liu family is truly heartless; they have already severed ties and yet they come to demand the house; what were they doing earlier?"

"This is actually a good thing; since ties are severed, it is better to sever them more thoroughly."

Someone saw Ding Surong: "Ding Zhiqing, do you really intend to rent that house?"

Ding Surong hadn't expected to be dragged into this mess: "I wanted to rent it before because Comrade Chuxue promised me she would build a wall around the courtyard; whether I rent or not depends on whether that courtyard is a single gate and single house."

Once these words were spoken, everyone's gaze toward the Liu brothers carried schadenfreude.

With matters at this point, the two brothers no longer cared about anything else; they would just get the house first and deal with the rest later.

The Clan Head looked at Liu Shanliang with complex eyes: "Shanliang, what are you thinking?"

Liu Shanliang answered frankly: "Since they want to take it, then take it; severing ties thoroughly is good; however, please ask the Clan Head to bear witness for me; in the future, the Liu family must not approach me for any reason."

With words spoken to this extent, the Clan Head felt there was no need to persuade further.

Since the Clan Head had spoken, the Party Secretary and the Village Head did not wish to waste their breath; the handover time was set for six days later, and the document was quickly written out in four copies.

One copy for Liu Shanliang, one for the Liu family, one for the clan, and one for the village.

From now on, Liu Shanliang established his own branch and had no further connection with the Liu family.

This caused a murmur among the villagers, with everyone saying various things; immediately, the Liu family once again became a hot topic at the village information center.

What surprised everyone was that a day later, someone delivered quite a few bricks to the Liu family; the Liu family's eldest and third sons, along with the younger generation of the family, actually built the courtyard wall.

Upon asking, it turned out that Ding Zhiqing really intended to rent the few rooms Chuxue currently lived in; the materials and labor costs for building the wall were all paid by Ding Zhiqing.
