Chapter 109: You just didn't give the clan leader face, isn't that bad?
Old Man Liu had a worried look on his face: "My wife and I did not consider the matter of the second son enough, but now that things have come to this, we don't have the ability to make amends even if we want to. But we can't ignore the eldest son, after all, we still count on him to support us in the future.
Chu Xue said that if she wanted her to give in, she had to break off the engagement and also pay her 500 yuan in compensation.
You must be aware of the situation in my family. Since the second brother has already left us because of his injury, and now the eldest brother and his wife have done something to let Chuxue down, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to get along well in the future, so why not give in to their wishes?"
The clan leader looked very unhappy: "Old Five, you have to think it over carefully."
Old Man Liu filled a pot of tobacco for himself, lit it and took a deep puff: "It's not that I want to break off the engagement, it's because the eldest couple has to choose to break off the engagement. As for the 500 yuan, my family really can't afford it, so I have to trouble you to help mediate."
Everyone understood. What Old Man Liu meant was that he could break off the engagement, but there would be no compensation. He was just dreaming.
It was the head of the Liu family who spoke up: "Old Fifth, it's no problem for us to go and help mediate the dispute, but if you want them to give in without paying a cent, we don't have that ability. It's better for you to go and negotiate in person."
Old Man Liu flashed an embarrassed look and said, "Patriarch, you misunderstood. What I meant is naturally the less the better."
In fact, the clan leader didn't want to care about his shit, but his status was there: "We understand what you mean."
After saying that, the head of the Liu family looked at the two village cadres and sought their opinions with his eyes.
Seeing them nod, several people stood up at the same time.
But they had just walked into the second room and exchanged a few words when they heard Liu Shanliang say, "I understand why you are here, but Chuxue has the final say in my house now. She has gone to school."
The clan leader was a little disappointed and said, "You injured your leg, not your brain. How can you let a girl be the head of the family?"
Father Liu sneered: "When I was injured and hospitalized, it was Chuxue who supported me. Without her, I would have lost my leg long ago."
This one sentence made the clan leader extremely embarrassed. After all, after Liu Shanliang got into trouble, the clan didn't give him any help at all.
Now that things have come to this, I can only exchange a few words of greeting and leave, waiting for Chuxue to come back.
After they left, Mother Liu said with a worried look on her face: "Shanliang, you just didn't give the clan leader face, isn't that bad?"
"I'm telling the truth, there's nothing wrong with that."
Mother Liu wanted to say something, but seeing her husband's sullen face, she just opened her mouth and said nothing.
As a husband, Liu Shanliang naturally knew what she was worried about, but his daughter had already said that everything would be discussed after she came back, so he would not undermine her.
He had naturally noticed the changes in Chuxue during this period of time. While he felt guilty, he also felt relieved. What he said just now was that Chuxue would have the final say in the family from now on, and it was not just talk.
At this time, the first snow had already arrived at the school.
She did not enter the classroom immediately, but went to the office to find the head teacher: "Teacher Xu."
Xu Shengli, who was reading the lesson plan, heard a voice: "Student Chuxue, are you here for class?"
As he said this, he waved for her to come in and asked about her family situation.
After talking for a while, Chu Xue said, "Teacher Xu, I came here today to discuss something with you."
"What is it, you say?"
Chu Xue explained the situation at home: "Teacher Xu, although I have taken leave during this period, I have been studying on my own. I was thinking if I could study at home and come over when the exam comes?"
