Chapter 88: I'll Tear That Mouth of Hers Apart When I Get Back

Liu's father was helped onto the cart by his daughter-in-law and daughter: "The surgery is done, but he still needs to rest at home for half a year before we see."

Old Quan Tou kept looking at Liu's father's leg and even reached out to touch it: "Can he walk?"

Liu's father shook his head with a smile: "Not for now, it'll take a while."

Seeing they were all on the cart, Old Quan Tou said: "Hold on tight, we're leaving now."

He sat on the front cart shaft, casually flicked the whip, and the ox cart moved forward slowly.

Liu's father started chatting with Old Quan Tou on the cart shaft: "Old Uncle Quan, has anything happened in the village lately?"

Actually, he wanted to inquire about the Liu family's situation.

Old Quan Tou was asked the question and for a moment didn't know how to respond.

The three of them weren't fools; seeing Old Quan Tou's reaction, they knew something was definitely wrong.

Liu's mother, somewhat impatient, said: "Old Uncle Quan, is there anything you can't say?"

Old Quan Tou sighed, thinking that even if he didn't say it, they would find out once they returned to the village, so he might as well give them a heads-up: "Well, some things have happened, but if I tell you, you must keep your cool."

Hearing this, the three of them were completely baffled, their hearts filled with unease.

Liu's father rubbed his face: "Old Uncle Quan, just say it. I'm already like this; what could be harder than this?"

He thought it was about himself, but he didn't expect Old Quan Tou to say: "Your eldest sister-in-law, that wicked thing, I don't know what's gotten into her, but she actually said your second daughter didn't come home last night. You know how the villagers are; they believe rumors the moment they hear them, and now the gossip is getting worse and worse."

Liu's mother immediately burst into tears in anger: "She won't stop until she ruins my daughter, right? I'm going back later and I'll tear that mouth of hers apart."

Liu's father's face also darkened with anger.

Liu Chuxue, however, wore an expression as if everything was expected; she hadn't exposed it earlier because she was waiting for this day.

After all, what she wanted was never just to split the household; what she wanted was to sever ties.

Even if they split the household, the old couple of the Liu family wouldn't easily let them go; they'd probably still exploit them from time to time. But if the Old Liu family made the mistake of severing ties first, they could never use family bonds or past favors to make demands in the future.

Not to mention, what the Old Liu couple did behind the scenes to her father might have been a conspiracy.

So she had to plan step by step, ensuring the Liu family members wouldn't benefit even a little from her own father. As for Liu Jiandong, the original male lead, if he thought he could ride her coattails, he could forget it.

When the ox cart entered the village, the village gate's old locust tree was occupied by the indispensable intelligence personnel of every village.

Upon seeing clearly who was on the ox cart, they all swarmed over: "Shanliang is back! How's your leg?"

"Shanliang's wife, has your man's leg healed?"

"Has your leg healed?"

In an instant, the ox cart was stopped. Old Quan Tou had to get off and walk to the front to hold the ox's head, fearing these people would startle the ox and cause another incident.

Liu's mother quickly spoke up: "Aunties, mothers, uncles, and sisters-in-law, my husband just had surgery on his leg. He needs to recover at home for half a year. Whether he gets better depends entirely on his recovery over these six months."

"So he can't do anything for half a year?"

"Yes, he can't do heavy labor."

Before entering the village, Liu Chuxue had told them to just speak the truth.

The couple didn't know what their daughter was planning, but they knew she certainly had her reasons.

"Oh dear, they just split the household. In the future, relying solely on Shanliang's family's woman to work, how will they survive?"

Seeing it was enough, Liu Chuxue cleared her throat and spoke loudly: "Grandpas, grandmas, aunts, and mothers, I thank you all here for your concern for my father. However, he's been on the cart for the whole journey and needs to go back and rest. Please make way for us. We can chat another time when I have a moment, okay?"
