Chapter 95: What I Want is a Severing of Ties

After Ge Baocheng was brought back, Kong Yizhang and the others took everyone involved in the case back to the county.

Old Lady Liu wouldn't have it. When she failed to stop them, she launched into a tirade of accusations against Chuxue and even wanted Chuxue to step forward and get them released.

Chuxue didn't pay her any mind. She hadn't intended for them to go to jail, but she wouldn't let them off easily either; she had to make them suffer a bit before achieving her goal.

She pulled Xiao Mu directly and headed home: "Mom, Dad is waiting for us at home, and Little Sister will be back from school soon. Let's go home."

No matter how much Old Lady Liu kicked up a fuss, Chuxue left with great resolve.

The villagers had seen quite a show today: "Is Chuxue really going to send the eldest Liu couple to the Gongan Bureau?"

"Listen to yourself. Is it her wanting to send them in? Isn't it them asking for it?"

"But they are family after all. How are they supposed to get along in the future?"

"Things are already like this, what is there to get along with? They'll definitely never see each other again."

"But aren't the old Liu couple still there? Both palms and backs of the hands are flesh; how can they stand it?"

"I don't agree with that. Look at the life the eldest Liu family leads, and look at the life the second Liu family leads. Not to mention the distant past, just look at what the Liu family did after the second son's leg injury."

"That's true, they were indeed the ones who were heartless first."

"The main thing is that Ge Xiulan is just too damn wicked. No human being would do such a thing. Fortunately, Chuxue met a noble person and nothing happened. If something had really happened, her whole life would have been ruined by them."

As that person was speaking, someone nudged them.

"Why are you pushing me? You almost made me fall."

Seeing that person blinking at them incessantly: "What's wrong with your eyes?"

That person was furious and made them turn around. They saw Ge Xiulan's youngest daughter, Liu Ruhua, staring at them with an angry face: "You guys are too much!"

After saying this, she ran away crying.

"Oh, why is my luck so bad that Ruhua had to hear that?"

"After something like this happens, it's normal to hear such things. I'm afraid they'll be the talk of the town for a good while."

Even though Ge Xiulan hadn't mentioned what she did to her youngest daughter, Liu Ruhua had still overheard some of it. She didn't think her parents had done anything wrong, but she hadn't expected the plan to fail and drag their own family into it.

She was thirteen, not three; naturally, she understood what had happened.

By the time she was crying and nearing home, she heard her grandmother scolding: "Second son, I'm telling you, hurry up and get that dead girl Chuxue to fish your eldest brother and sister-in-law out, or I'll die right in front of you."

Liu Shanliang had heard the whole story from his wife as soon as she entered the door, and his eyes were red with rage.

He hadn't expected his own eldest brother and sister-in-law to be such beasts, actually daring to lay a hand on his second daughter. He truly wished he could beat them up right now.

Looking at his own leg, he was so angry he was about to punch it, but Liu Chuxue, who had just entered the room, reached out to stop him: "Are you trying to make this leg completely useless?"

The words made Liu Shanliang calm down: "Xue, I'm sorry. It's all because your dad is useless that the eldest branch thinks we're easy to bully. Don't worry, now that we've separated the family, I won't let them bully any of you ever again."

Chuxue, however, said: "What's the use of separating the family? What I want is a severing of ties."

After saying this, she looked at her parents sternly: "This time I want to sever ties. If Grandpa and Grandma want to protect the eldest uncle and aunt, then they must sever ties with us. The eldest branch must also compensate me, otherwise, there's nothing to talk about."

"I'll give you a warning: don't let the aunts and uncles talk you into being soft-hearted later."

"However, even if you defect, as long as I don't nod and don't issue a letter of forgiveness, they won't be able to get out. After all, they did break the law."
