Grandpa Gu added, "There's something even more important: his household registration is now with your family."
During the land reform a few years ago, your Liu family received an extra person's worth of land.
Now that they're divorced, he can't take the land with him; it's still registered under your Liu family's name.
Add the land to the mix, and tell me, is it worth the money?
Liu Dequan and his wife's minds raced, and a sense of powerlessness welled up inside them.
These incidents, one by one, completely crushed them.
It seems the Gu family came prepared today!
They won't be able to refute it at all!
They originally thought that kicking Gu Yansong out would be the end of it; after all, he was a son-in-law who had married into the family, so they could just get rid of him.
Who knew the Gu family would come knocking on our door?
Seeing that they remained silent, Old Master Gu continued,
"Of course, if you don't want this part of the land, I'll sell it right now."
"Alright, village chief, these are our Gu family's requests."
The village where the Liu family lives has a large population, so naturally they received less land.
Many families work hard all year and still can't fill their stomachs. Old Master Gu is willing to bet that someone will definitely want this part of the land.
Surprisingly, some villagers were actually interested.
After all, the Liu family's land is fertile, and Gu Yansong is diligent, so the land is kept so well that there isn't a single weed.
But we also know that it's unrealistic to try and take land from the Liu family, who only takes in and never gives out.
The Liu couple immediately fell silent; it seemed they really couldn't refute this.
That's a whole thousand yuan! I'm not just heartbroken, my liver is aching.
The village chief nodded and turned his gaze to the Liu family.
"The Gu family has finished speaking."
Now, let's hear your opinions!
After thinking it over, Liu Dequan and his wife realized that given the current situation, they probably had no choice but to pay compensation.
But this money...
“Village chief, we agree to compensation, but this thousand yuan is too much.”
"Where would we get that kind of money?"
Most people in the village agree with this statement.
A thousand yuan is no small amount; there are very few families in the village who can afford that much money.
The village chief, aware of their predicament, looked at the Gu family and said, "Grandpa Gu, what do you think..."
"Then borrow it from the village, and pay it back slowly later."
"My brother has suffered so much over the years, I feel that a thousand yuan is too little!" Gu Yanbai suddenly interjected.
The Liu family wants to get away with this? Don't they even know who he is?
He can't let them get away with this so easily?
village head……
This kid is dark-skinned!
It must be said that there is some truth to what he said.
It's tough being the mediator!
But this was indeed his duty as the village chief; he had no choice but to come.
"The Liu family, what do you think?"
"Gu family, are you trying to force us to our deaths?"
We're all old and we still have to pay off debts every year. How can you be so heartless?
Isn't this driving us to our doom?
Liu Dequan's wife immediately started complaining. The thought of having to pay off debts every year made her feel like she couldn't breathe properly.
Liu Dequan also looked pained and pleaded.
"Old Master Gu, please let us off the hook!"
I know that what our family did was not ethical.
But children are a burden!
My daughter ran away. Will she ever come back?
When he will come back is still unknown.
"How are we, the two old folks, supposed to pay you back?"
"When you were exploiting my older brother, you didn't think about this issue."
I didn't even think about this when I kicked him out.
"Now you feel the pain of being stabbed?" Gu Yanliu said angrily.
The Liu couple looked away; they hadn't really thought about this issue.
I thought that kicking him out would be the end of it, but who knew there would be this turn of events?
Gu Yanbai's dark eyes shifted slightly, a mocking smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. Did they think that complaining would make them helpless?
Then all those years of his life have been for nothing.
To deal with this kind of shrew, you have to be even more cunning than him.
"Since you say Liu Yuanyuan won't be coming back, and you're all getting old."
Okay then!
We are not unreasonable people. Your family should keep the land for your livelihood.
Let's sell all the land owned by my older brother, Liu Yuanyuan, and Liu Huihui!
This will save you some trouble!
What do you think?
Grandpa Gu nodded in agreement, saying that the rascal was quick-witted.
This demonstrates the ability to apply knowledge to new situations effectively; it's a very good approach.
He naturally gave his full support, saying, "Yes, my second son is right."
Didn't you say you didn't have money?
"Then let's use the land as collateral!"
Liu Dequan and his wife's expressions changed drastically. Both of them had experienced hunger before, and in their eyes, this land was their lifeblood!
It's very precious; how can it be sold so easily?
"Village chief, don't listen to them. How can they force debtors to pay like this?"
How can that land be sold?
Isn't this forcing us to die?
If you keep pushing us like this, my wife and I won't live anymore.
"If something happens to us, let's see how you explain yourselves!"
Liu Dequan's wife was about to go inside to get pesticides when she spoke.
The village chief panicked. If this really caused a big problem, he wouldn't be able to escape responsibility.
He immediately stopped him, saying, "Nonsense, who would want to kill themselves so easily?"
"The old saying goes, 'As soon as you ask for an exorbitant price, you settle for less.' This is negotiable!"
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the Gu family, "Old Master Gu, what do you think...?"
