Chapter 467 Compromise Settled
Cheng Laizi was very anxious and pulled his mother along, saying, "Our current task is my marriage with Liu Shuqin."

His eyes were fixed on Liu Shuqin. Thinking of the pleasure he had felt earlier, he felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He thought that Liu Shuqin would be his wife in the future, so he didn't care about anything else.

Liu Shuqin was now filled with regret. She shouldn't have gone to watch the commotion; now she had become the laughingstock of the whole village, and she was so angry that she wanted to tear apart the people she hated most.

Liu Quanwen reiterated that if he wanted his daughter to agree to the relationship between her and Cheng Laizi, Cheng Laizi would have to marry into the family; nothing else was acceptable. He also stated that if the relationship didn't work out, the Cheng family would only have two options: either send them to a labor camp or pay them off.

He beat up Cheng Laizi without hesitation, fearing he might be extorted.

The reason for letting Cheng Laizi marry into the family was naturally because they had heard a little about the Cheng family's affairs. In fact, Cheng Laizi was not that unruly. It was his sister-in-law who was a scoundrel and ruined her brother-in-law's reputation.

Rather than letting their daughter marry into the family and be bullied, it's better to let Cheng Laizi marry into the family. Anyway, their son is practically married into the family now, and the couple will probably have to rely on their daughter to take care of them in the future.

Cheng Laizi's mother naturally disagreed: "I don't agree. How can my son, whom I raised with so much effort, become someone else's live-in son-in-law?"

But Cheng Laizi thought about his relationship with his family: "Mom, you know that my older brother and sister-in-law can't tolerate me. Rather than having you stuck in the middle, it's better for you to be the one who married into the family and be more comfortable. Consider the 150 yuan compensation as a share of the family property, okay?"

Considering the family's situation, she couldn't bear to make things difficult for her youngest son, so she had no choice but to compromise: "Okay, Mom agrees."

Chu Xue, seeing things unfolding as she had anticipated, approached the Party Secretary and the Village Chief: "Let them hand over the compensation money directly to the village. The village didn't have enough money to buy a tractor before, so consider this my contribution to the village."

The Party Secretary and the Village Chief were deeply moved by Chu Xue's words, saying, "Such a big thing, didn't you discuss it with your family?"

Chu Xue waved her hand and said, "No need, my parents will agree."

Thinking of something, he added, "But let's forget about Cunyi's money. After all, he knew nothing about it, and his intentions were good. Just give him a few words of advice so he'll be more careful in the future." They had no reason not to agree, but they still called Liu Shanliang and his wife over and explained the situation.

After listening, the couple exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Let Chuxue decide this matter herself."

Of course they wanted to.

The reason Chu Xue did this was because the money was too hot to handle, but giving it to the village would be a different story.

With that, the matter was considered resolved. In front of everyone, the village chief said, "You must hand over the compensation to the village committee before noon tomorrow. Otherwise, we will have to send you to your destination."

Only when the money goes to the village will the village officials pay more attention to it.

Moreover, those people have been punished; let's see if they dare to have any more crooked thoughts in the future.

Most importantly, she didn't believe Ding Surong had that much money and would definitely take some action.

Upon hearing that the money had to be paid to the village, Cheng Laizi's mother's other plans were ruined. She could only grit her teeth and ask Cheng Laizi, "Have you thought this through? Are you sure you want to marry into the family?"

"Mom, given my situation, it's probably going to be difficult for me to find a wife. Besides, you know my sister-in-law's attitude. This decision is better for everyone."

Upon hearing her son's words, the mother resignedly closed her eyes and nodded, saying, "I agree to this."

I'm heading back tomorrow, and will resume regular updates. Goodnight everyone.
