Chapter 788: Once Again, Chaos Erupted

While this side was harmonious and joyful, Liu Tree Village once again erupted into chaos.

Under the big tree at the village entrance, many people squatted with bowls in hand: "Shanliang and his wife went into the city yesterday and didn't return; today a jeep came and took Chunxiao away too. Do you think their whole family will live in the city from now on?"

"It's not impossible. Last time they came to claim kinship, they drove a small car; this time they came to take them into the city in a small car too. Shanliang's biological family must be quite formidable."

"Still no news from the old couple of the Liu family?"

"Liu Laosan ran to the county the day before yesterday. Guess what?"

"Well, say it already?"

"The county Gongan Bureau has no record of these two people."

"What does that mean?"

"It means the people who came to handle the case that day were likely not from the county Gongan Bureau."

"Then who were they?"

Only after asking this did he realize belatedly: "Do you mean the police came directly from the city?"

"That's very possible."

Meanwhile, the old Liu family house was in utter disarray: "Big Brother, what do we do now? We can't really just ignore our own son, can we?"

Liu Shanggan's face turned cold: "Then tell me how we should handle it? You saw it yourself; Second Brother and his wife were taken away yesterday and haven't returned yet. Even if we wanted to ask for help, we wouldn't know where to go!"

Ge Xiulan slapped her thigh: "This life is truly unlivable. Every single day brings nothing but trouble, making it impossible to catch a breath."

Liu Shanggan, extremely annoyed, shouted at Ge Xiulan: "Stop adding to the chaos here. Aren't you annoyed enough already?"

Seeing that he was truly angry, Ge Xiulan quickly fell silent.

After a long while, Liu Shanling spoke up: "Then we just wait for them to return. I don't believe they would really watch the old couple die!"

This implied they should extort Second Brother and his wife no matter what.

Next door, Ding Surong's face was terrifyingly dark: "My luck truly has no equal. Ever since I volunteered to go down to the countryside, not a single thing has gone smoothly. I originally thought to just make do for now, but now I truly can't stand it anymore. This family keeps predicting doom; I'm truly afraid one day I'll even lose my own life."

Suddenly thinking of Hu Liru, she felt her misfortune began when Hu Liru impersonated her name to get a medical checkup. She cursed Hu Liru ten thousand times in her heart: "You've ruined me like this; just you wait."

Meanwhile, the Qiu family in Guangming Village, closest to the Northern Suburb Farm, was also discussing today's events: "Second Sister-in-law, what exactly happened with that small car today? Why did they take Xia Qiu and his wife into the city?"

Qiu Mu knew it was good news, but since she hadn't gotten a definite answer from her son or daughter-in-law, she dared not speak nonsense: "Eldest Sister-in-law, you saw it too. The phone call had barely arrived when someone came to take the couple away. I truly don't know the specifics."

"Second Sister-in-law, you really should have asked for clarification no matter what, leaving us at home worrying for nothing."

Qiu Shaocheng saw his eldest uncle's wife putting his mother in a difficult position: "Eldest Aunt, whether it's good news or bad, my older brother and sister-in-law will handle it. Please don't worry about that idle matter. Besides, since they sent a car to pick them up, I believe it's not bad news. What do you say?"

Qiu Shaomei, returning from washing clothes outside, was also stopped: "Shaomei, what did your older brother and sister-in-law get taken away by the small car to do?"

Qiu Shaomei was nearly driven crazy. The trip that usually took ten-odd minutes had taken her nearly half an hour today, and she still hadn't entered the house: "Don't ask me; I truly don't know. If you want to know, wait until my older brother and sister-in-law return and ask them directly."

Back in her own room, Qiu Bo Niang pushed her husband: "Husband, I always feel that dividing the household was a blunder. If Xia Qiu truly has good fortune, will Shaofeng help lift up our eldest branch?"
