1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 771 Shouldn't we get some compensation?

Seeing that there was only one dish left, Liu's father personally went to invite the Party Secretary and the Village Chief over.

After what the Liu family had done before, the two of them were actually reluctant to come. After all, the old couple from the Liu family had done such a thing back then, and they felt ashamed.

Since Liu Shanliang had personally invited them, they couldn't very well refuse.

Fortunately, the Xiao family members were all relatively mild-mannered and did not say anything unpleasant in front of them, nor did they mention the Liu family again.

It's obvious that everything happened as expected, and there was no need for the village to mediate.

After a long greeting, everyone picked up their chopsticks, but the Party Secretary and the Village Chief were hardly able to taste the food.

He wanted to plead for the elderly couple from the Liu family, but he just couldn't bring himself to speak.

Grandpa Xiao naturally saw their expressions, but the couple acted recklessly and selfishly, so they needed to be taught a lesson.

As for the final outcome, it will naturally depend on the youngest son's wishes.

Grandpa Xiao raised his glass to the Party Secretary and the Village Chief: "My son, Chang Sheng, has always told me that you have helped him a lot over the years. I am very grateful. I toast you with this glass."

Although the Party Secretary and the Village Chief felt unworthy of the toast, they still drank it with him.

While things were peaceful and harmonious on one side, chaos reigned on the other side of the old house.

First, Ding Surong lashed out at Liu Jiandong after the elderly couple were taken away by the police: "What kind of mess is this? What if they are sentenced? Wouldn't that affect the baby in my belly?"
"Liu Jiandong, your grandparents are such troublemakers! What are we supposed to do?"

Ding Surong did not tell Liu Jiandong about the trouble her family had encountered, which is why she took the initiative.

With such a big incident, the Liu family might send her back to her parents' home for help. To avoid being exposed, it's better for her to act crazy first, dissuading them from sending her back for help. Look at this woman's scheming! Qu Aihua, holding her daughter Liu Yingying, listened to her second brother and sister-in-law arguing next door: "Jianqiang, what my second sister-in-law said is true. If Grandpa and Grandma are really convicted, then anyone can kick them while they're down. The adults are fine, but what about our Yingying?"

She was almost unable to continue speaking.

Liu Jianqiang was also annoyed: "I'll go over and see Dad and Third Uncle in a bit, and see what they've come up with."

When he arrived, he heard his third aunt, Su Hongjuan, say, "Don't bother with all this nonsense. It's better to ask your second brother than anyone else."

Ge Xiulan said with a stern face: "You've seen their attitude these past few months, no wonder he wouldn't agree."

"Sister-in-law, how will we know if it will work if we don't try? Besides, isn't there a better way right now?"

Liu Shangang's mind was in turmoil as he chain-smoked: "Third brother, have your son Lidong keep an eye on things over there. Once Xunqin leaves, we'll all go and beg Second brother."

The thought of the 'second son' only fueled his frustration.

The mistakes my parents made in order to give their second child a better life are now being borne by them. It's heartbreaking to think about.

Then Liu Shanling said, "Since they say that the second brother was switched, what about my own second brother? They have to give an explanation. Since he benefited from it, shouldn't he be the one to come back and deal with this?"

Ge Xiulan perked up: "That's right, how could I forget about that? Judging from the demeanor of that family, they must be well-off. We were implicated because of them, so shouldn't they give us some compensation?"

Upon hearing this, Su Hongjuan said, "That's indeed the case."
