Back to 1984: Let's Work Hard Together to Raise The Kids!-Chapter 288: The Liu Family Aftermath

Xu Manzhi looked smugly at Liu Yongguo and reminded him in a huffy tone, "Tomorrow, take the documents to the street office to get the proof and transfer the house to your name. Once the paperwork is done, sell the house. We don’t want this worn-out yard."

Now that An City is vigorously developing real estate, Xu Manzhi, who had lived a lifetime in a small rural courtyard, had long had enough. All she had in mind was moving into a commercial apartment, even if it was smaller, and it would provide a wedding house for her son.

Liu Yongguo thought of Liu Li and hesitated for a moment.

Seeing his reluctance to express himself, Xu Manzhi immediately darkened her face, "Liu Yongguo, I’m telling you, if you dare to help someone as worthless as Liu Li, I’ll fight you! Just look at how much your mom’s funeral and medical expenses cost this time! The gift money we collected was nowhere near enough to cover it. If this house deal doesn’t go well, I’m not finished with you!"

Liu Yongguo let out a long, turbid sigh, his aged face full of fatigue, "Got it, I’ll take care of it tomorrow."

"That’s more like it!" Xu Manzhi said with satisfaction, entering their room.

Their room had not been lived in for years and was full of dust.

Xu Manzhi was too lazy to clean and took Liu Yongguo to stay in Liu Li’s room for a few days.

Early the next morning, Liu Yongguo took the materials to the street office.

Because the Liu family’s matters had caused quite a stir back then, everyone knew Ma Cuihua did have a document to allocate the house to Liu Yongguo, so they helped him get the proof.

Liu Yongguo took a bunch of stuff to the police station, and it took two days of running around for the paperwork to be approved.

Once the property certificate was obtained, the sale could proceed.

While waiting for the certificate, he began looking for buyers.

Although the Liu family courtyard was old, it was in a good location, still a school district house, and had a residential household registration, so it wouldn’t be hard to sell.

After putting the word out for a few days, someone indeed came to inquire. There were quite a few people in this family, and just by listening, it was clear they came from the county.

In the face of interests, Xu Manzhi could absolutely lower her status, showing one hundred percent sincerity, quickly charming the buyers into not knowing east from west, and they agreed to buy the house.

After transferring ownership and completing the payment, Liu Yongguo and Xu Manzhi disappeared as quickly as possible.

When the buyers started renovating the Liu house, Liu Li came storming back furiously with some people, and upon learning the Liu family courtyard had been sold, Liu Li was so furious that she fainted on the spot.

Upon waking up and finding herself in the hospital, she promptly called Liu Yongguo, arguing intensely, and even threatened to sue them. Liu Yongguo didn’t care at all.

By this time, the couple had already boarded a vehicle heading out of province, uncertain if they would ever return in this lifetime.

Liu Li was left without a home, without family, and even An Meihua and Liu Jiajia were nowhere to be found. She finally started to feel scared. She went to Anshan Community to look for An Meihua but learned that An Meihua hadn’t gone back to her family, and she had no idea where Liu Jiajia was. She could only grit her teeth and stay at some shady friends’ houses for a while.

Other people weren’t going to support her for no reason, so they advised her to go to the red-light district to solicit clients.

Having no other options, Liu Li had no choice but to do just that, dragging herself further into the mud.

A brilliant firework blossomed in the sky.

The spirit of the Spring Festival spread across all corners of the city, except for those dark corners hidden from the light. The whole city was bustling, lively, and radiant.

Chen Xinyue and Xiao Jinlin stayed in Nanyu until the fourth day of the Lunar New Year before flying back to the capital to prepare for their upcoming wedding.

Having not returned for a while, both of them somewhat missed their uniquely owned courtyard alley.

Xiao Jinlin held her as they admired the snow falling outside the window and asked, "Where do you want to live after the wedding?"

He owned quite a few properties, whether a large flat in the city center, or villas a bit further out, or even a courtyard house. If he contacted the construction team now, renovations could still be completed in time.

Chen Xinyue pondered for a moment and turned to look at him, "Isn’t it fine to live here?"

Xiao Jinlin chuckled, "Fine! Wherever you want to live is fine, but we can also have the villa tidied up. There’s a large garden there, and more rooms for you to arrange as you like."

Chen Xinyue had no objections, as she didn’t want to move away from here for the time being.

With the bustle, the New Year passed in the blink of an eye.

A week before the wedding, a big group from the Chen family arrived, even Lin Ying’s family came along.

Xiao Jinlin arranged accommodations for them at a hotel.

Chen Xinyue helped with the arrangements.

Lin Ying, all unwilling to let her go, held her hand, "It seems like just the other day you were so young, and now you’re about to get married in the blink of an eye! Xinyi is about to take her college entrance exam and couldn’t take leave. She said she’d come to see you after finishing the exam."

"Great!" Chen Xinyue replied with great enthusiasm.

Thinking about Xu Xinyi’s college entrance exams inevitably led to thoughts of Liu Jiajia, who was still studying. Chen Xinyue looked at Lin Qin and quietly asked, "Mom, has Aunt Ge been in touch with you recently?"

Lin Qin nodded casually, "We were roommates for many years. Even without Liu Jiajia’s matter, we would have kept in touch. She said after the school term started, Liu Jiajia lived on campus and hasn’t gone out again. In fact, Liu Li went to school to find Liu Jiajia a few times but was blocked by Ge Qiuyue.

Since Liu Jiajia didn’t leave the school, Liu Li staked out for half a month with no success and finally gave up. As for An Meihua, she went to the school to see Liu Jiajia, saying she was going out of town for work and that if she met the right person, she would remarry, telling Liu Jiajia not to worry about her and to focus on her studies."

Chen Xinyue raised an eyebrow slightly, "I thought she would continue causing trouble in Nanyu."

Everyone knew about Lin Qin’s tactic of confronting Ma Cuihua at the hospital, and given An Meihua’s unstable mind, there would surely be no end to it if she found out.

Everyone was prepared to deal with An Meihua, but nothing happened? 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Lin Qin nodded, "She probably guessed we are sponsoring Liu Jiajia and feared causing trouble might anger us, affecting Liu Jiajia’s future."

Chen Xinyue snorted, "She’s quite clear-headed now, isn’t she!"

Lin Qin shook her head with a sigh, "Recently, your Aunt Liu Ling had tea with me and talked about the Liu family. After Ma Cuihua passed, Liu Yongguo and Liu Li ignored her, and An Meihua, having no money, fled after one trip to the hospital.

The funeral was particularly shabby, and people on the street cursed, saying their siblings were outrageous. As soon as Ma Cuihua’s funeral was over, Liu Yongguo kicked Liu Li out of the house, sold the house, and ran away. Liu Li was left homeless with nowhere to go, and I heard she ended up soliciting clients in the red-light district.

Your Aunt Liu Ling’s husband works at the Public Security Bureau, and Liu Li got arrested several times. It can’t be hidden. I reported the situation directly to your Aunt Ge, who was already concerned about Liu Jiajia. After learning about Liu Li’s situation, she definitely wouldn’t let them meet.

Let it be.....

With the passing of individuals, grievances and feelings fade away. She can let go now.

Chen Xinyue patted Lin Qin’s shoulder, "Mom, you are truly magnanimous! By the way, take a look at these. Jinlin ordered a batch of jewelry from abroad for me, including gemstones, diamonds, jade, pearls, and agates, as well as top-grade Hetian jade from our country. The pictures are all here."
