Chapter 61 Going to Huangjia Village
Zhao Fengxiu noticed this, but pretended not to care and continued eating.
Liu Xiangqian said, "Second sister-in-law, since our family and the Huang family have not become in-laws, let's consider this money as compensation for you for now."
Please be magnanimous and forget about what happened back then.
It was indeed wrong of me to burn your wedding dress, and I only managed to get out of this mess today thanks to your family's help.
"Regardless of what you say, you must accept the money for these two things."
Liu Xiangqian gritted his teeth and handed the small package to Zhao Fengxiu, thinking that his second sister-in-law would refuse it.
Who would have thought?
Liu Xiangqian had barely finished speaking when he said, "Second Sister-in-law! Please don't be so polite!"
Suddenly, his hands were empty.
"???"
Zhao Fengxiu opened the small bag and counted the money; it was indeed a thousand yuan.
"You said it yourself, so I'll accept it for now." Zhao Fengxiu spoke shamelessly and without any scruples, counting the money in front of everyone!
This scene is so enviable!
Liu Caiping's two sons, Liu Xiangqian's children, and Zhao Fengxiu's children all stared blankly at them.
Wow! They've collected money again!
Liu Jiancheng and Liu Jiangong, in particular, swallowed hard.
The two exchanged a glance, thinking it best to let the other speak first.
Helpless, Liu Jiancheng said nervously, "Mom, even if Lao Wu and I didn't do anything special, we still put in a lot of effort..."
Zhao Fengxiu gave her a cold look. "What hard work? These past few days, just because your eldest sister came into the house, do you think I'm senile and don't know anything?"
I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, and you're already trying to claim credit and hard work!
Liu Jiancheng, Liu Jiangong...
They didn't say anything; they just wanted to say that the household payment would be delayed a little.
But it looks like it's hopeless.
Seeing his wife happily counting the money, Liu Shiping felt gratified and fortunate.
As long as there's no more distance between you and your wife!
He glanced at Liu Xiangqian and gave him a look of affirmation and gratitude!
Liu Xiangqian nodded, "Of course, Second Brother."
Seeing his third brother like this, Liu Shiping couldn't help but ask, "Wife, has this matter concerning our third brother been settled?"
Zhao Fengxiu continued counting the money, ignoring everything else.
Grandma Yang and Sun Afang...
Sun Afang didn't have any objections. Her mother and Liu Xiangqian were the ones who made the decisions in this family, and she had no say in it.
They could only look at Zhao Fengxiu with envy!
Grandma Yang hesitated, but her heart broke the moment she saw Liu Xiangqian take out his money!
But remembering how Zhao Fengxiu had almost made her breathless, Old Lady Yang held back!
Forget it, I won't bother arguing with this shrew.
After Zhao Fengxiu finished counting, she didn't look up, but just gave a relaxed "hmm" and breathed a sigh of relief.
There was no mention of the past, nor of what could not be said.
Whether she approves or not depends on her mood later!
After reading it, Liu Jianmei continued to comfort Liu Zhenyu.
Liu Zhenyu looked at his father, Liu Xiangqian, who had given him the money, and remained calm, as if he had suddenly become enlightened.
"It's nothing serious! Auntie is right, we should be happy to have escaped the thieves' den! Dad, I'll listen to you from now on!"
Looking at his three children's filial and respectful manners, Liu Xiangqian smiled with a mixture of relief and helplessness.
Only Old Lady Yang couldn't help but mutter, "My third son's children are still the best, so much better than someone else's children."
The children all voluntarily contributed money without hesitation or objection.
Zhao Fengxiu understood, but this time, for the first time ever, she didn't refute it.
Because she had received the money, she was in an exceptionally good mood and couldn't be bothered to argue with the old man!
She can't change what her children are born with.
But whatever changes happen the day after tomorrow, she has the power to change them!
The food on the table was almost gone.
"Getting back to the main topic, I have something to tell you after we finish eating."
As soon as Zhao Fengxiu spoke, everyone at the square table perked up immediately, as if it were a conditioned reflex.
Seeing that they were all paying attention, Zhao Fengxiu coughed lightly and said, "I won't talk about Third Uncle's matter for now."
But the Huang family cannot escape their guilt; we must confront them directly to convince the police! Besides, it was indeed Huang Weifeng who committed the crime back then.
Liu Zhendong said, "Auntie, aren't they at the police station, handed over to the police officers?"
Zhao Fengxiu said, "That was the execution by the police, not ours. Besides, think about it, we've been on the run for so long, have the police ever come after us?"
This is a private matter between our two families; a simple mediation would suffice.
If everyone agrees, that's about it. These days, everyone struggles to make ends meet. How much public grain can the police possibly provide for those two good-for-nothings from the Huang family to eat and drink for free?
Upon hearing this, the three Liu brothers, Liu Jianbang, Liu Jiancheng, and Liu Jiangong, suddenly looked up!
Zhao Fengxiu waved her hand, "I wasn't talking about you, don't make assumptions."
The three of them lowered their heads again.
"Do you understand what I mean?" Zhao Fengxiu glanced around.
They lowered their heads, not daring to utter a sound.
Liu Shiping asked, "Wife, what do you mean?"
Zhao Fengxiu rolled her eyes. "Go to their door demanding justice and an explanation! If you have money, give them money; if you don't, badmouth them!"
"I wasn't doing well back then, do you think they can expect to be doing well now? If we don't take advantage of their misfortune now, when will we? Wait until they recover?"
"Great!" Liu Shiping and Liu Xiangqian both agreed.
There's no time to lose.
Zhao Fengxiu sent out her three good-for-nothing sons, but she didn't bother with Liu Jianguo.
Including Liu Xiangqian's youngest son!
Liu Zhendong also wanted to go, but Zhao Fengxiu noticed that her nephew's wife had a bad look in her eyes and seemed a little resentful.
Zhao Fengxiu said, "Let's take your family back to rest! You've already exhausted yourself dealing with the Huang family for your sister, you don't need to do anything."
Liu Zhendong had no choice but to leave.
Zhao Fengxiu then took Liu Jianguo and Liu Jianmei home.
Liu Shiping and Liu Xiangqian, along with Liu Jianbang and his three brothers, set off for the Huang family!
...
Grandma Yang and her eldest grandson were on their way home.
The eldest granddaughter-in-law, Qiao Qiaomei, asked curiously, "Why did you give Auntie so much money? A thousand yuan just went out like that."
Grandma Yang sighed, "What can we do? Your father is so indebted, and none of you can make the decision. I can't go against the third son's wishes either."
The third brother bore all the blame back then, and his relationship with the second brother remained strained for thirty years because of it! He felt guilty…”
Grandma Yang sighed repeatedly.
She not only felt sorry for the money, but also for her youngest son who had to bear the infamy of being the mastermind and had been disliked and resented by his second daughter-in-law for so long!
"Anyway, it's all in the past. As long as the third son is happy," said Grandma Yang.
The third brother had always longed to reconcile with his brothers, and he finally achieved his wish before he died.
...
Meanwhile, the two brothers, each with their son, rushed to Huangjia Village as instructed by Zhao Fengxiu!
On the way, Liu Jianbang sighed, "If the police officer wasn't mistaken, then what about Huang Zhijian's biological mother? She didn't give him any money?"
Liu Xiangqian's face darkened.
"Yes, even the job is fake now."
Liu Xiangqian looked at Liu Shiping and said, "Thank you so much, Second Brother! If it weren't for you, our family might really be related to the Huang family by marriage today."
Liu Xiangqian was deeply moved and grateful, with tears welling up in his eyes.
On one hand, she can reconcile with her second brother, whom she hasn't spoken to in thirty years; on the other hand, she can free her daughter from her misery!
What's wrong with giving my second sister-in-law a thousand yuan? It's worth it!
Liu Shiping also felt it was all so unreal, and put his arm around Liu Xiangqian's shoulder to comfort him, "Hey! It's all in the past, we'll all be family from now on."
"So, trust me! My wife took this thousand, and she definitely won't bother you much anymore."
Liu Xiangqian laughed, "Second Brother, would you dare say that to your sister-in-law's face?"
Liu Jianbang and his friends laughed heartily.
Liu Shiping naturally dared not, so he could only purse his lips and remain silent.
The group arrived at Huangjia Village.
What comes into view is desolate and sparse, with few people coming and going, and the roads are dilapidated.
Liu Xiangqian quickly followed his memory and led them to Huang Weifeng's house!
The scene that came into view startled them!
There were bloodstains along the roadside weeds!
The three Liu brothers immediately became alert and shielded their elder behind them.
"Dad! Third Uncle, be careful behind us!" Liu Jianbang and Liu Jiancheng exchanged a glance, understood each other, and gradually moved forward.
With a thud!
