Chapter 804: Wanting to Take the White Wolf Empty-Handed

Not to mention Liushugang, even Liu Jianqiang and his brother were scared by the sight before them; after all, they weren't very popular in the village, and if a clash really broke out, probably no one would be willing to wade into these murky waters.

After all, the man before them was no longer the Liu Shanliang who had always been bullied and dared not speak up, but Xiao Changsheng, whose father and elder brother held high positions and great power in the city; not to mention he also had a good in-law family—probably no one would be willing to offend people on his behalf.

Seeing the situation, Liu Jianqiang, afraid his own father and younger brother might say something unpleasant and anger these people, said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, we're not here to cause trouble, we just want to see if there's a way to reconcile."

Qiu Shaofeng stepped directly in front of his father-in-law: "Reconcile what?"

Ever since his trip to the city, his confidence was now more than full—not only did he have an impressive brother-in-law, but now his wife had also acknowledged such formidable biological grandfather and biological uncle; how could he possibly cower before these people? After all, he still had more than a dozen childhood buddies behind him: "Speak up, what is there to reconcile?"

Seeing Qiu Shaofeng so unyielding, and thinking about what he was about to say next, Liu Jianqiang did feel a bit guilty: "I know these years, Second Uncle has indeed suffered a lot of grievances, but what's done is done, it has to be resolved. No matter how wrong my grandparents were, as their descendants, we can't just ignore them—wouldn't you say that's reasonable?"

Qiu Shaofeng swept a contemptuous glance at him: "Fine then, since you've put it that way, tell me how you want to reconcile. If I can accept it, then I'm willing to make a trip to the city and send word to Grandpa in-law. Go ahead, speak."

The moment these words came out, they pushed Liu Jianqiang right into the eye of the storm.

They hadn't even discussed it properly at home; how would he know how to reconcile? His face flushed red, yet he couldn't squeeze out a single word.

Just then, his wife pushed her way through the crowd, gave him a tug: "Such a big matter, with Father and Third Uncle as elders present, where does it fall to you to take the lead? Hurry up and give up your spot."

Saying so, she pulled him back several steps, directly exposing Third Uncle Liu Shanling.

Back in the city, Fu Yan Cheng had already pulled him aside and briefed him on quite a few things, including how to face the Liu family; so after receiving the call from his sister-in-law, he had directly gathered a bunch of brothers and crossed the mountains to get here.

His sister-in-law had guessed right—these Liu family members really were shameless, really thinking they could come empty-handed and try to take the White Wolf for nothing.

What a pretty dream.

This thoroughly infuriated Su Hongjuan behind the crowd—this Qu Aihua really was a sharp one. Even if you didn't want your husband to handle it, why not keep your father-in-law out of the public eye?

She squeezed over too, gave Liu Shanling a tug: "Now that the in-laws aren't here, naturally we have to listen to Eldest Brother; this matter still has to be Eldest Brother who negotiates."

Liushugang didn't want to be made a laughingstock; he clenched his fists, swallowed the resentment in his heart, and looked at Xiao Changsheng: "Then tell me, what would it take for you to let them go?"

Qiu Shaofeng made a little room for his father-in-law, wanting to see what he meant; as long as he didn't want to let them off, he would take the men and drive all these annoying pests away.

He only heard Xiao Changsheng say coldly: "I'll say it once more—I wasn't the one who called the police to have them arrested. You've got the wrong person. If you're not satisfied, go to the city and find my father. As for how the police will rule, that depends on how many years their crimes warrant.

As for you wanting me to go beg mercy for them—they ruined my entire life. If it were you, could you forgive? You'd probably wish they got an even heavier sentence, wouldn't you?"

The onlookers hearing this said: "That's true enough—they bullied the man and now want to force him to forgive. That really is going too far."

"Shan—no, Changsheng and his wife have really turned things around completely. Although they were worn down by the old Liu couple for half a lifetime here in the countryside, from now on their days will probably be nothing but sweet."

"The old Liu couple probably never imagined such a day would come. I wonder if that son they sent away is also hating them now?"

"That's really possible—after all, a perfectly good life was stirred up and ruined; how could there be no resentment?"

"You really can't blame Changsheng for being unfeeling and heartless. Anyone in his place probably couldn't accept it either."
