Going to the police for these kinds of family conflicts is useless. At most, the police can only let the family members discuss it among themselves. After all, even an upright official can't settle family disputes!

After thinking it over, she decided to take Li Xiulan to the courtyard house she had acquired first.

Fortunately, after she acquired the courtyard house, she hired workers to rebuild it. One of the courtyard houses has already been built, and all that's left is to lay the red bricks in the courtyard.

Li Xiyue led Li Xiulan into the bustling courtyard. When the workers saw Li Xiyue arrive, they all greeted her with smiles.

"Boss, you're here. How's our progress? Are we on track?"

It has to be said that this boss was the most generous they had ever met. Not only did he pay a lot of wages, but he also provided good meals. He hired two neighbor ladies to cook for them, and every meal included meat and vegetables!

With such a great boss, they worked even harder and built such exquisite houses!

Li Xiyue said with a smile, "Great! I think it's perfect, we can open in a couple of days!"

Li Xiulan looked at the entire courtyard in disbelief. She asked Li Xiyue in confusion, "What did they just call you? Boss?"

This word is so new in this day and age, she's never even heard of it!

Li Xiyue said, "Yes, they call me boss. I hired them to build houses. This is the factory I run."

This place will become a bed sheet and mattress factory in the future, and a large batch of sewing machines will be delivered in a couple of days.

This factory may not be big, but it can easily fit fifty or sixty sewing machines!

Li Xiulan was dumbfounded. Li Xiyue actually owned a courtyard house and even ran a factory...

What does this mean? In this day and age, they are absolutely unimaginably rich!

In that instant, she suddenly felt that her son was marrying above his station...

Li Xiyue led the uneasy Li Xiulan into the room next to the factory.

The factory building faces the main gate of the courtyard, with three rooms built on each of the left and right sides.

One room serves as the kitchen, two rooms as the dining hall, and the other three rooms as offices.

She said to Li Xiulan, "Auntie, you can stay in this house. The whitewash has been applied and the cement floor is dry."

"I'll have someone buy another bed and a wardrobe in a little while, and once the washbasin and washbasin stand are ready, it'll be ready to live in."

Li Xiulan quickly waved her hand, "No... this is too much of a waste..."

Li Xiyue said, "It's no expense. We'll need these things sooner or later, and the factory staff on duty will be able to use them in the future."

She opened the window and called over a worker, told him what she wanted to buy, and then took out money and bills from her pocket and handed them to the worker.

The worker ran off quickly to buy things for Li Xiyue.

Although there weren't many things available these days, as long as you had money and ration coupons, you could still buy them as long as the items weren't in short supply.

Soon the bed, wardrobe, and daily necessities were all bought.

Looking at the room Li Xiyue had arranged for her, Li Chunlan kept wiping away tears. At least she had a place to stay now, and the wardrobe and bed were even better than those in her own home...

She cried and said, "Yue'er, how can I thank you? How can I thank you..."

Li Xiyue said, "Don't cry, now is not the time to cry. We need to find a way to get your house back!"

Li Xiulan nodded. "You're right! I want the house back! So what do we do now?"

Li Xiyue said, "Auntie, do you really want to break ties with your two daughters, or do you want to get the house back and then reconcile with them?"

Li Xiulan shook her head and said, "I don't want to make up with those two troublemakers anymore. Even if they are my own children, I won't acknowledge them!"

What terrible things have I done to deserve these two scourges! They're worse than my own children…”

She quickly shut her mouth before she could finish speaking; how could she have blurted out the truth in her excitement...?

Li Xiyue asked in surprise, "What do you mean by 'raised later'?"

Li Xiulan barely managed to say, "It's nothing, it's nothing, I was just saying it casually... Anyway, I won't acknowledge them anymore!"

"I want the house back, and I'll cut all ties with them. They're not my daughters, and I'm not their mother!"

Li Xiyue said, "If you've made up your mind, then things will be easy. I'll find a newspaper reporter and get you an exclusive interview. I'll expose your family's affairs!"

I don't believe they'll still dare to occupy your house after this gets exposed. The neighbors will be able to tear them apart, and the neighborhood committee director will kick down the doorstep during his home visit!

This matter must be blown out of proportion. If it gets blown out of proportion, the neighborhood director and neighbors will gossip about them behind their backs and condemn them to death!

Mi Bao said in the space, "Will this work? What if they're like pigs that don't fear boiling water?"

Li Xiyue said, "You have no idea how terrifying the power of public opinion can be in this era!"

Don't underestimate the speed of communication in this era, even with limited tools. The speed at which we can exchange messages about our wives is just as fast as in the future. Just wait and see!

After settling Li Xiulan in and letting her rest in her room, she walked out of the courtyard, turned into an empty alley, and immediately asked Mi Bao to set up a spatial passage for her.

She went directly to the newspaper office through the spatial passage to find a reporter in the news department.

Mi Bao said in her online space, "Why look for a newspaper reporter? Wouldn't it be better to look for a TV reporter?"

Li Xiyue said, "Do you see so many families with televisions? Televisions haven't become so common that every household has one."

However, newspapers are something every household buys every day, and newspapers spread information faster than television.

Furthermore, television stations no longer report on such trivial family matters; they only report on national affairs and imported drama series.

Li Xiyue walked into the press office and explained the situation to the reporters, whose eyes lit up!

This is big news! If this kind of news is published in the newspaper, the newspaper sales will definitely be high!

Their newspaper just had a meeting yesterday to introduce a new performance bonus system. If they can get this news, their performance bonus for this month will be a sure thing.

Several reporters were vying for the prize, and in the end, the office director had to step in to quell the dispute.

The office director's idea was good: one reporter interviewed Li Xiulan, another reporter interviewed Li Xiulan's neighbors, and yet another reporter interviewed the two sisters at their workplaces.

Let's have a reporter interview passersby to get their opinions on this matter.

He assigned all the reporters at the newspaper who were currently idle and had no interview assignments to work, and everyone happily went off to conduct interviews!

Li Xiyue had to admit that the office director was really good at smoothing things over; even the bricklayers praised him as an expert!

Li Xiyue took a reporter to find Li Xiulan, and just as she had expected, when the newspaper was printed that evening, it instantly caused a sensation among everyone in the streets and alleys!

Mu Jiuchun and Mu Jiuhong were celebrating their victory at home when reporters blocked their doorway and began interviewing them.

The shouts and curses from their neighbors reached their ears clearly; the insults were incredibly vile...

As soon as Li Yan stepped out the door, she ran back crying, "Mom, what should I do? I can't even leave the house anymore, everyone's scolding me..."
