Chapter 296: Why Can't This Matter Be Put to Rest?

Ge Xiulan, fearing her natal family would cause a scene again and make people laugh, quickly rose to greet them: "Big Brother, Big Sister-in-law, what is this?"

Du Erya stepped forward a few paces and slapped Ge Xiulan across the face: "You troublemakers! If Baocheng suffers any harm, I will fight you to the death."

Ge Xiulan was somewhat confused: "Big Sister-in-law, if you have something to say, say it. I am about to become a grandmother; even if you are my elder sister-in-law, you cannot just hit people upon arrival."

Du Erya put her hands on her hips and scolded: "If you hadn't harmed my son, would I have the time to come here and hit you?"

Ge Xiulan looked at Ge Shuanhu behind her: "Big Brother, our matter was settled; why have you come over to cause trouble again?"

Ge Shuanhu's face darkened severely: "We did not want to come, but Baocheng was beaten in prison and seriously injured. We just brought him back. Although the previous matter was settled, if you had not caused him to be imprisoned, this would not have happened; therefore, you must take responsibility for his injury."

Hearing these words, Ge Xiulan felt terrible: "Big Brother, this is too unreasonable. According to your logic, does every misfortune Baocheng suffers from now on have to be blamed on me?"

Ge Shuanhu looked at her coldly: "Should it not be?"

Liu Shangan, seeing the situation, had to step forward: "Big Brother, Big Sister-in-law, then why have you come?"

Du Erya did not want to waste words: "We have brought Baocheng back, but you must provide the money for his treatment and the supplements for his body. After all, if his aunt had not deceived him, this would not have happened."

After taking a deep breath, Liu Shangan said: "The money we paid you before was borrowed from villagers. Even if we wanted to give, our family has no money; if you don't believe us, search the house."

Du Erya did not care what he said: "Don't talk about useless things. If you don't pay, we won't leave; we will just wear you down."

When Liu Chuxue arrived upon hearing the commotion, Du Erya was sitting on the ground slapping her thighs and wailing: "He is your own nephew! For the sake of your son's future, you have a black heart to harm your nephew."

As she wailed vigorously, the Party Secretary and the Village Head walked in: "People of Lizhuang, do you think there is no one left in Willow Tree Village? You caused trouble a few days ago, and now you are at it again; will you never stop?"

Ge Shuanhu quickly stepped forward and explained the situation.

Although the Party Secretary sympathized with them, he still had to say: "When we paid that sum before, it was agreed that once the money was taken, the matter was over. If you come to cause trouble again today, then it is truly over."

The Village Head then added: "Besides, you know the situation of your sister's family. Even if you drive them to death, they cannot produce money now. Do you really want to make relations so bad that we never see each other again?"

Originally, they had just come to vent their anger; of course, getting compensation would be better. Since the Party Secretary and the Village Head had intervened, they had to restrain themselves; they absolutely could not escalate the matter into a conflict between two villages, which would be serious.

With the mediation of the Village Head and the Party Secretary, plus Ge Xiulan borrowing a basket of eggs from one household and then another to serve as nutritional supplements for her nephew, the Ge family finally left.

Liu Chuxue watched the good show and then happily returned home; as long as they lived in chaos, that was fine.

Since the protagonist had left, the onlookers naturally dispersed.

As soon as Ge Xiulan entered the room, she collapsed onto the kang table and cried: "What sin have I committed? Why can this matter not be put to rest?"
