Seeing that the family only followed the Yu family's lead and didn't think about protecting themselves or fighting back, and even wanted to push her mother out, Liu Yiyue really looked down on her father.

"Grandpa, Father, our family hasn't done anything wrong. The Yu family came to our house to cause trouble. We should ask the village chief and clan chief to uphold justice for us. We can't let outsiders bully our family."

Even if we have to give them money, we can't just give them whatever amount they ask for.

"The eldest girl is right. In that case, you go and invite the village chief, and Huang Shi, you go and invite the clan chief."

Liu Yiyue helped Huang Lanhua out of the main room. They saw the Yu family members squatting in the courtyard. The mother and daughter didn't talk to them and went straight out of the courtyard.

The Yu family was very happy to see the mother and daughter leave the courtyard, assuming they were going to get the money.

"My dear daughter, it seems I won't be able to keep the things you gave me. I'm so sorry!"

You absolutely mustn't let your grandmother know about this. You gave it to your mother, so even if someone needs to take it out, it should be you who takes it out, understand?

"Mother, I know. Once we've discussed it, just give me the things, and I'll hand them over."

"My dear daughter! My life is so bitter. Look at your father, he's such a heartless and ungrateful man. I served him, bore him children, and he actually wants to use me to pay off his debts. It's truly heartbreaking!"

"Mom, our family's matter is settled. You don't need to worry about Grandma's family's matter. Let the Yu family make a fuss over their own."

"The Yu family is really ruthless. I'm really afraid they'll cause a big scene at your maternal grandmother's house. If we go after them, they'll definitely come after us too."

"Mother, we really can't handle this. If you insist on intervening, then there's nothing I can do. Mother, go and reason with the Yu family!"

Huang Lanhua sighed and stopped talking. After walking for a while, the mother and daughter parted ways to ask for help.

The Yu family stormed into the Liu family's old house, causing a commotion in the courtyard that attracted many villagers to watch. Liu Daniu and Liu Bayue also learned about the matter, but neither of them intervened, knowing that it was a difficult and unmanageable situation.

When Liu Yiyue arrived at the village chief's house, she explained her purpose. Liu Jinsheng had also heard from the villagers about his decision to return to the old Liu family house. He strongly disagreed with Liu Yiyue's actions, feeling that he had escaped one trap only to fall into another.

For April's sake, I'll go with her. "January, why did you go back to the old house? Isn't your second uncle's place nice enough?"

"I was staying at my second uncle's house very well. But something happened at his house, so I went home to help them."

"Oh, I see!"

Huang Lanhua went to the old clan chief's house and knelt on the ground, pleading bitterly. The old clan chief saw that her face was covered in wounds and felt sorry for her. After all, she was a member of the Liu clan and could not be bullied by outsiders. So he followed her to the old Liu family residence.

The village chief had only been at the Liu family's old house for a short while when the clan chief arrived as well. When the Yu family saw that they had invited the village chief and the clan chief, they knew that getting money wouldn't be so easy, and they were about to start haggling again.

When Grandpa Liu saw the village chief and clan chief arrive, he immediately felt more confident. The clan chief disliked Grandpa Liu and didn't give him a friendly look.

"Village chief, clan chief, let's invite the Yu family to sit down in the main room and discuss this."

"No need, there are so many people talking in the courtyard."

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and get a stool."

So the three parties sat down in the Liu family courtyard to begin negotiations. The old clan patriarch spoke first, "I heard that your Yu family is asking the Liu family for 50 taels of silver in compensation. Is that true?"

Mr. Yu put on a smiling face, "Elder Chief, it's true. Look what the Liu family has done to our daughter! Can't you ask for some compensation?"

"You have no problem with compensation, but you also need to understand one thing: your daughter is a daughter-in-law of the Liu family, and a member of the Liu family."

Moreover, I've heard the whole story. It was the Huang family who hurt your daughter, and the Liu family was also a victim.

As her family, it's only right that you seek justice for your daughter and demand compensation.

"You need to consider the actual situation before demanding compensation. Do you think the Liu family can come up with 50 taels of silver?"

"Why can't they produce it? They don't have it, but their daughter doesn't have it either?"

"So that's what you were planning. Well, you've miscalculated. They have three daughters. The eldest daughter has already severed ties with the Liu family. She's here today just like any other villager."

The second daughter has long since severed ties with them; you all probably already know that.

The young lady got married a couple of days ago. Once a daughter is married, she's like water spilled from a bowl. Do you think she can still bring money back to her parents' home?

If you ask me, you shouldn't ask the Liu family for the money. You should join forces with the Liu family to go to Huangjia Village and demand an explanation and compensation from the Huang family. That's what you should be doing.

Instead of focusing on a victim and letting the real perpetrator go unpunished.

"Elder Chief, that's not how it works. Doesn't the Liu family bear any responsibility?"

"I didn't say the Liu family had no responsibility, I just said their responsibility was small because they didn't stand up for the Yu family immediately. But look at the Liu family, the old are old, the young are young, some are injured and some are disabled, how could they possibly deal with the Huang family?"

The responsibility for seeking justice ultimately rests with you, the Yu family.

"You love your daughter and your sister dearly, so Madam Yu must be very happy. She's even waiting for you to ask the Huang family for compensation so she can recover her health."

Upon hearing this, the Yu family exclaimed, "This won't do! They've worked so hard for nothing, and even if they do manage to get the money, they'll have to give it to the Liu family!"

"Elder, the Liu family can't leave us without any compensation, after all, my sister was hurt."

"Even if there is compensation, it will be given to your sister, right?"

I'll have the Liu family give you one tael of silver as compensation for your trouble in seeking justice from the Huang family. Once you're at the Huang family, you can have as much silver as you want. Of the silver you get, you'll take 60%, and the Liu family will take 40%. All of this silver will be used to help Madam Yu recover."

The Yu family was speechless after hearing the old clan chief's words and silently agreed.

"What are you standing there for? Your in-laws are going to seek justice for you, so go and get the money!"

Old Master Liu quickly told his wife to fetch the silver. Old Mrs. Liu took one tael of silver and handed it to Mr. Yu, saying, "Father-in-law, you've really gone to so much trouble."

Liu Jinsheng casually remarked, "Uncle Yu, you must think things through before you do anything, and don't mistake the wrong person for the right one."

Although the Liu family isn't well-liked or has a bad reputation in the village, they are still people from Liujia Village and members of the Liu clan. Not just anyone can bully them.

"Village Chief Liu is right. If it weren't for the old clan chief's explanation, we would have really made a mistake."

We won't stay here any longer; let's go straight to the Huang family's place.

"It's good that things have been discussed openly. You can handle the rest yourselves."

The village chief and the old clan chief left. Huang Lanhua looked constipated. "Old clan chief, what does this mean? Are you trying to get the Yu family to deal with her family? I want to stop you, but I don't dare."

Seeing that the village chief and the old clan elder had left, the Yu family members were all indignant. "Listen up, Liu family! My sister lost her child and is in poor health. She needs to be well-nourished. She needs to drink chicken soup every day and eat white rice and white flour. If you neglect my sister's diet, don't blame me for smashing your pots and pans!"

"Don't worry, Uncle, we will definitely take good care of our granddaughter-in-law during her postpartum period and make sure she is not mistreated."

"You must keep your word. We will come to check on you often. If you dare to be perfunctory, I will show you what regret is."

"Let's go find the Huang family now!"
