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

Chapter 231: Completely Cut Off
Liu Shangang was furious that he would show such disrespect: "Are you sure you want to say this here?"

Liu Shanliang's face turned cold: "We've severed ties, is there anything we need to say in private?"

Liu Shangang's face darkened immediately: "Since we've severed ties, it's probably not suitable for you to continue living in our Liu family's house."

Liu Shanliang turned to look at him: "Is this your idea, or the old couple's idea?"

"Naturally, it was the old couple's idea. They're not available to come right now, so they've entrusted this matter to me."

Liu Shanliang glanced at Liu Shanling, who was following behind the boss: "You mean the same thing, right?"

Liu Shanling didn't expect Liu Shanliang to ask him: "This is what our parents want, and we can't disobey them."

Chu Xue then stepped forward: "Father, since they are determined to go to extremes, let's give in to their wishes."

Being mentally prepared is one thing, but when they actually come, it's another. It's truly chilling: "Okay, I agree to this, but you have to invite the Party Secretary, the Village Chief, and the elders of the clan to be witnesses."

The two brothers exchanged a glance, probably not expecting things to go so smoothly.

Liu Shanling dropped the pretense: "Okay, I'll go find them right now."

Before long, the Party Secretary, the village chief, and the elders of the clan arrived one after another. The clan chief spoke first: "No matter what, Shanliang is your brother. Do you really want to do this?"

Liu Shangang didn't hide anything this time: "My mother's condition is not very good. She may have to go to the city for treatment. We don't have a penny to spare right now, so we can't just watch her suffer."

"Even so, what does that have to do with the houses on the mountain ridge?"

“Ding Zhiqing wants to rent that house. If we take this house back, we can have some income, right? We wouldn’t have done this if we hadn’t been forced into this situation.”

The onlookers looked at them with disdain: "The Liu family is really heartless. They've already severed ties, and they're still asking for the house. What were they thinking before?"

"That's a good thing. Since we've already severed ties, we might as well do it thoroughly." Someone saw Ding Surong and asked, "Ding Zhiqing, are you really going to rent that house?"

Ding Surong never expected to get involved in this mess; "I wanted to rent it before because Comrade Chuxue promised me that she would build a wall around the courtyard. Whether I rented it or not depended on whether the courtyard was a detached house."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the Liu brothers with schadenfreude.

With things having come to this point, the two brothers couldn't care less about anything else; their priority was getting the house.

The clan chief looked at Liu Shanliang with a complicated expression: "Shanliang, what are you thinking?"

Liu Shanliang answered frankly: "Since they want to take it, then let them take it. It's better to cut ties completely. However, I would like to ask the clan leader to bear witness that the Liu family must not come to me for any reason in the future."

Having said all that, the clan chief felt there was no need to persuade them any further.

Since the clan chief had spoken, the Party Secretary and the village chief didn't want to waste their breath. Six days after the handover date was set, the documents were quickly written in four copies.

One portion for Liushanliang, one portion for the Liu family, one portion for the clan, and one portion for the village.

From then on, Liushanliang became a separate branch, and had no further connection with the Liu family.

The villagers were all sighing and saying all sorts of things, and the Liu family suddenly became a hot topic in the village's intelligence center again.

To everyone's surprise, a day later, someone delivered a lot of bricks to the Liu family, and the eldest and third sons of the Liu family actually built a courtyard wall with the help of the younger generation.

Only after asking did I learn that Ding Zhiqing really wanted to rent the rooms where Chuxue was currently living, and that Ding Zhiqing would pay for the materials and labor costs for building the walls.
