Chapter 265: The Wicked Landlord
"In the future, they will leave the county and live in the neighboring one. As long as they have skills, they can earn money, albeit with more hardship. But at least, they'll be alive."
"But Aunt, when finding someone to buy Wang Chuan's family's shop, that person must have more influence than the Wang family. In fact, Wang Chuan and I suspect that if the shop can't be sold, it's related to not daring to offend the Wang family, who has connections with most people in the county."
"If Aunt is willing to help me, please be cautious and make sure not to let the Wang family discover your involvement."
"In case the mad dogs under the Wang family's third young master go crazy and bite you, it will be my fault for implicating Aunt." Liu Jiao didn't mince her words, expressing her strong aversion to the Wang family.
Seeing her speak this way, even using the term 'mad dogs,' couldn't help but pat her head gently. "You child, you even know how to curse. Don't say such things and corrupt the ears of your aunt's family."
Although Chu Liushi thought that using coarse language wasn't good, in the countryside, who didn't use a bit of rough language? It wasn't a big deal.
Seeing that her emphasis was still on this matter, she found her attitude somewhat strange.
However, the following conversation was not suitable for the child to hear.
Chu Liushi gently patted Liu Jiao's hand "Child, go downstairs with Qingxiang. Play for a while. Aunt will talk to your mother."
"Aunt..." Liu Jiao didn't want to leave. She still wanted to know Aunt's stance on the matter involving the Wang family.
Chu Liushi looked at her and expressed comfort "Don't you trust your aunt?"
Immediately, Liu Jiao hugged her aunt's arm and coquettishly said, "Aunt, how could Jiao'er not trust you? Then, Jiao'er will go downstairs with Qingxiang."
Chu Qingxiang had been listening on the side. She was thinking about Song Lu and whether her mother had notified him.
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw her grandmother assigning tasks to her. It seemed that the conversation about the Wang family matter was about to take place.
She hurriedly got up and grabbed Liu Jiao, softly saying, "Cousin, go talk with Sister. I'll go with you."
Chu Qingxiang led Liu Jiao away.
The other children in the room were also taken out.
Chu Ziluo was no exception. Ye Muyu patted her head telling her to take care of her little brother and not to go out.
Chu Ziluo nodded obediently and whispered, "Mom, I will take good care of my little brother."
Ye Muyu nodded gently and watched the two children leave.
Once the children were gone, the room became quiet.
Chu Liushi no longer delayed and directly asked Luo Shi "Sister, with the situation at the Wang family, what are your thoughts? Jiao'er has already expressed her stance."
The unspoken words were there. Luo Shi, as the mother of the family, seemed to have obvious other thoughts.
Luo Shi's face changed slightly. For a moment, she hesitated to speak. However, seeing Chu Liushi's gaze penetrating like a torch, it was evident that she had already guessed something. She felt somewhat embarrassed, bit her lip and eventually said, "Sister, you know our family is just a group of peasants who eat, drink, and farm in the mountain nest. If the Wang family finds out that we've helped them, and they decide to retaliate, our lives won't be livable anymore."
"It will not only affect the children but also implicate our parents. Our parents are old now and can't withstand any turmoil."
"I... I want to find a new match for Jiao'er."
"No!" As soon as Luo Shi finished speaking, before Chu Liushi could say anything, Liu Cheng interrupted.
"Husband..." Luo Shi was shocked and her face turned a bit pale. She explained with a somewhat weak voice "I just don't want to be implicated..."
"I can't allow it!" Liu Cheng's voice was firm. "You must not make such a decision without discussing it with me."
