“After that, he used the name of Landlord Wang family’s Third Young Master to extort Wang Chuan and his father.” As soon as Lu Chuan finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

Liu Hanlai pounded his chest, afraid that he would be angered to death by this shock.

Liu Jiao slammed the table angrily. “I’m so angry. So it was the lackeys who acted on their own accord and almost killed Uncle Wang!”

Madam Liu heaved a sigh of relief. “Fortunately, it’s not Landlord Wang’s family’s Third Young Master’s intention. Otherwise, this matter would not be easy to resolve.”

“Then why don’t the people in the county dare to buy the Wang family’s shop?” Chu Lin asked in confusion.

Madam Zhang raised her head confidently. “Isn’t that simple? Lu Hu just went to the broker and worked together with him. In order not to offend Landlord Wang, he naturally would not even hang up the news of the Wang family selling the shop. Naturally, no one would buy it.”

“Now that the matter is clear, what should we do?”

“Lu Hu is still Young Master Wang’s subordinate. We are just ordinary people. If we don’t handle this well and embarrass Young Master Wang, I’m afraid this matter won’t be resolved.” Although Chu Lin had never done business before, he often went to the county. How could he not understand the ways of the world?

“Since it’s just Lu Hu’s personal matter, it’s much simpler.”

“Yu’er, son-in-law, you and your wife don’t have to worry about this anymore.

I’ll tell your Uncle Wang about this. He’s been in the county for so many years. It should not be a problem for him to deal with a hooligan.” Liu Hanlai voiced his stance.

He heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he felt a little powerless.

They did not expect that the scheme of a little local ruffian could make the descendants of their friends go bankrupt. If their daughter’s son, Chu Heng, had not been admitted to the scholar examination, they would probably never have known the truth for the rest of their lives.

They could only suffer a hidden loss, ruining his path for a lifetime, and even implicating his juniors.

One really needed to study!

Liu Hanlai qritted his teeth.

Back then, he did not teach his son, but he did let his daughter recognize some words and gain some knowledge. Only after they gave birth to their own children would they let their children study.

The fact that Chu Heng could study proved that he did not do anything wrong back then.

As long as there were children who could study at home, the money they had spent previously would not be wasted.

“Father, why are you saying this? I’m your daughter. How can I watch my family get into trouble and not care?” Madam Liu said helplessly.

Liu Hanlai subconsciously glanced at Chu Zhiwen. Seeing that he was not angry at his daughter’s words, he was relieved.

“Yu’er, I know you’re filial,” he told his daughter patiently. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I can feel your and the children’s feelings.”

“I don’t have anything valuable at home. Since you like to eat mountain products, I brought some for you. Hope you won’t dislike them.”

“Great-grandfather, why would we dislike it? We couldn’t be happier. Coincidentally, the cooking test is in the afternoon. I was worried that there wouldn’t be any fresh wild mushrooms. Great-grandfather sent them just in time.” Chu Qingxiang giggled and said.

“Great-grandfather, I also like the pears you sent over. It’s sweet and delicious. We don’t have it at home.” Chu Ziluo felt her mother pinching her hand and said sincerely.

“Oh right, great-grandpa, pears can also help relieve cough. You can boil chunks of pears with rock sugar. It’s the most comfortable to drink in autumn.”

When Liu Hanlai heard this, he nodded and said, “That’s right. According to the Compendium of Materia Medica, pears are beneficial. They can moisten the lungs, cool the heart, eliminate phlegm, reduce fire, and detoxify the body..”
