Chapter 464: Wanting to Walk Away Clean — Don't Even Think About It

After Peng Ailan finished speaking, as if belatedly realizing something: "Right, right, right, my daughter was harmed by someone, they really should compensate."

She looked at her own man: "Let the Liu family and the Cheng family pay up. We can't take this loss. They ruined our daughter's whole life. If they pay too little, we won't agree."

Liu Quanwen rolled his eyes a few times, felt the words made sense too, and turned to look at the branch secretary.

The branch secretary rolled her eyes at her: Really good at climbing up the pole, but if they have the ability to get money out of Hearing Liu Jiandong, that's their own skill.

At this moment Liu Chuxue spoke: "Branch Secretary Grandpa, Village Head."

Then she looked at the village cadres of Huaihua Village: "Although I didn't suffer any substantial harm, the matter is now very clear. Those few of them wanted to harm me — that is a fact.

So here come my demands too. Choose to settle privately, then pay up. Choose to settle publicly, then report to the authorities. If you don't want to choose either, then let me beat you once to vent my anger. Let them choose for themselves."

Seeing Seeing Seeing Ge Xiulan flared up first: "Liu Chuxue, don't go too far. What harm did you suffer? Why must you be so relentless? Are you trying to force us to death?"

"Heh, relentless? How dare you say that with a straight face. I still want to ask you all — what exactly have I done to get in your way? You tried to harm me, and your son wants to harm me too. Go on, explain it to me clearly."

Without waiting for Seeing Seeing Seeing Ge Xiulan to reply, Liu Chuxue turned to the village cadres and said: "To prevent everyone from spreading rumors later, it's better to lay this matter out clearly in front of everyone. After all, starting a rumor takes one mouth, but refuting it wears out a pair of legs."

The cadres saw firmness in Liu Chuxue's eyes and knew she was serious.

Liu Chuxue was no saint — she couldn't keep indulging them again and again. They were already trying to harm her, so why cover for their shame?

Ignoring whatever the village cadres were thinking, she walked straight out and opened the courtyard gate of the village committee. The few people clinging to the gate tumbled in like a human pyramid, all of them wearing embarrassed expressions.

Liu Chuxue hadn't expected such a scene and simply couldn't hold it in — she burst out laughing.

But she didn't forget her purpose: "Anyone who wants to know the whole story, come in and listen. You can also bear witness."

When the crowd heard they could go in, what was there to wait for? Were climbing walls, climbing trees, clinging to the gate not tiring?

They couldn't hear the words inside clearly, and were so anxious they were scratching at their hearts and livers. Now it was perfect — they could go in and listen openly and legitimately.

The village cadres were very helpless. They feared the situation spiraling out of control, yet they couldn't refute Liu Chuxue's words. After all, both families involved had bad reputations. If they said all sorts of things outside, given this girl Liu Chuxue's temperament, the follow-up would only be more troublesome.

After the people who poured in heard the whole story once, someone spoke up: "Since Hearing Liu Jiandong was the one who signed off on this, how did Ding Zhiqing get dragged into it?"

With such a thing happening, no matter how scheming Ding Surong was, she was now so scared her brain couldn't keep up. She blurted out in panic: "This has nothing to do with me — I'm a victim too."

Liu Chuxue let out a cold laugh: "Where do you live, and where is this? You weren't home at night — what are you doing here? Explain it to everyone."

Since you took part, now you want to walk away clean — don't even think about it.

At this, the way the villagers looked at Hearing Liu Jiandong was as disgusted as could be: "Truly, like father like son, like mother like daughter — a mouse's child knows how to burrow. Seeing Seeing Seeing Ge Xiulan and Hearing Liu Jiandong really are mother and son, equally shameless. This is a crime."

Someone chimed in: "Looks like last time we shouldn't have let Seeing Seeing Seeing Ge Xiulan off for anyone's sake. See, her son has come out to cause trouble again. What did Miss Liu Chuxue ever do to provoke you? Relentlessly going after a young girl like this."

Now it wasn't only Hearing Liu Jiandong who panicked — even Liu Shanliang and his wife were scared. After all, with Ge Baoguo and Yan Qingshuang as a cautionary tale, they didn't dare gamble.

Sending their son to the station was out of the question, but they didn't have money to pay either. The couple simultaneously looked at Hearing Liu Jiandong, the calculation in their eyes plain as day.

Hearing Liu Jiandong shrank back: "I'm covered in injuries right now — you're not thinking of letting me take a beating, are you?"

Dear readers, that's it for today's chapter. Good night, everyone.
