Chapter 359: Miss This Village, Miss This Shop

Kong Yizhang turned and said to Fu's father and mother in the courtyard, "Uncle, Aunt, it's not easy for us to make this trip. Why not take a stroll through the village?"

Fu's father and mother were busy with work all day and indeed rarely went out to relax.

Today's proposal between the two families went very smoothly, and there was still some time before noon, so they might as well follow Kong Yizhang's suggestion: "Alright, then let's go look around."

Originally, Liu's mother had feared they wouldn't be used to the villagers, so she had only kept them at the main gate for a while before returning; now, hearing they wanted to tour the village, she said, "As long as you don't mind, let's go."

Liu's father naturally had no objections.

When they came out, the village informants had not yet left; they had simply moved their chatting spot to where the jeep was parked down the slope: "Do you think the Fifth Uncle Liu's family is now regretting it so much their intestines have turned green?"

"What's there to say? They're probably at home, anxious and furious."

"They probably never dreamed in their wildest dreams that the daughter of the Second Branch could marry into the city."

"Speaking of people, if they hadn't tried to harm others, Miss Chuxue probably wouldn't have had this good fortune; Ge Xiulan is probably dead from anger."

"In the future, with a son-in-law from the city supporting the Shanliang family, see who dares to bully them."

"It's strange to say, but since the Shanliang branch split off, hasn't the Fifth Uncle Liu's family been too well-behaved? It's almost unlike them."

"The kinship is severed; even if they wanted to come knocking, they probably wouldn't have the face to do so."

Meanwhile, the Liu family members being discussed were gathered together: "Father, please help Dongzi."

The Old Man Liu had been smoking his pipe tobacco; it wasn't that he didn't want to help his grandson, but he couldn't. Compared to his grandson's future, his own life was more important.

To this day, he still hadn't figured out who those people were that night; he truly dared not act rashly, fearing he would anger them again, and if it happened once more, his old life probably wouldn't be safe.

So much time had passed, and his body still hadn't fully recovered; he dared not gamble again.

The Liu Pozi nearby was rather eager: "Old man, can't we just go try?"

The Old Man Liu 'slapped' the tobacco pipe stem onto the table: "Try what? We made such a scene back then; how can we have the face to go knocking now?"

Ge Xiulan looked extremely anxious: "Father, how much is face worth? With Dongzi in his current state, if he stays in the village, he probably won't even be able to find a wife. If he goes to work in the city, the situation will be different. Don't you agree?"

The Third Branch members didn't speak, but Liu Xiaoman's face looked very unpleasant.

She had just finalized her engagement, and Seeing Liu Chuxue had followed closely behind with hers, but her own fiancé couldn't compare to Seeing Liu Chuxue's, which made her feel very ashamed.

Seeing the old man was unyielding, Liu Shanggan also got angry: "Father, what exactly are you worried about? Once you miss this village, there won't be this shop."

Ge Xiulan immediately added: "Father, you know the family's situation better than anyone. If we rely solely on scraping a living from the fields, when will that money ever be paid back? If the debt isn't paid, which young lady would be willing to marry in?"

The Old Man Liu was annoyed by their words: "Enough, all of you go back and let me think it over."

Although Liu Shanggan was dissatisfied with this response, he could do nothing but accept it, after all, they were the ones asking for a favor.

After the First and Third Branch families left, the Liu Pozi asked, "Old man, what are you thinking? He, Liu Er, is capable now; what's wrong with helping a nephew?"

The Old Man Liu tilted his head and glared: "What do you know?"
