The day of action has arrived.

Shen Luxi got up earlier than usual, and when the sky was dark, he called Liu Qiaoniang and Shen Dashan.

"Mom, put all the valuable things away and keep them close to you. Dad, no matter what happens today, just stand behind me. Don't argue with grandma. Don't make any moves. I'll tell you."

Shen Dashan responded and nodded.

Liu Qiao Niang's fingers were trembling a little, and Shen Luxi shook her hand: "Mom, after today, we will be free."

Liu Qiaoniang took a deep breath and stuffed the cloth bag with the copper plate into her pocket.

Shen Xiaoman rubbed his eyes and sat up from the kang: "Sister, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, just stay in the house today and don't go anywhere."

Just after midnight, laughter came from outside the courtyard gate.

Matchmaker Zhang took the lead, followed by a fat old man, wearing a satin gown and an jade ring on his hand, walking with a swagger.

Zhou Yuanwai.

He is in his early fifties, with a round face and small eyes. When he smiles, his eyes narrow into slits. He looks friendly, but his eyes are rolling and very shrewd.

It was this face in the previous life. He handed the money to Wang Guihua with a smile, and then had people put her into a sedan and carry her away.

Shen Luxi stood behind the window of his hut, watching Mr. Zhou walk out of the courtyard door without any emotion on his face.

Wang Guihua rarely wore decent clothes today, and she even had an extra copper hairpin on her head. She welcomed her into the main room with a smile on her face.

Zhao Cuiping followed behind with tea and waited on him. His mouth was as sweet as honey: "Mr. Zhou, please sit down and drink tea."

Shen Daniu also came out. It was rare that he did not lie on the kang and stood in the main room to talk with him.

Shen Jinbao didn't show up, probably because he felt guilty and hid.

Shen Luxi waited for about a quarter of an hour.

Wang Guihua's voice came from the main room, full of anger: "Second brother! Everyone from the second brother's family! Come here!"

Shen Luxi didn't move, she was waiting for someone.

After a while, footsteps were heard outside the courtyard door.

It sounded like it belonged to several people.

Father Liu walked in the front, his body straight and a hunting knife on his waist.

Behind him were his eldest uncle Liu Qingshan and his second uncle Liu Qinghe. Both of them were sturdy farmers with broad shoulders and round arms, and the expressions on their faces were not very good-looking.

Behind him is Fang Bingwen, still wearing the white washed gown, with the family separation documents in his sleeves, walking leisurely,

At the end is Shen Dehou, who is standing upright, with his hands behind his back and a look on his face that says, "Let me take a look."

Many villagers have gathered at the entrance of the courtyard.

One house in the village is next to the other, and the news spreads quickly. Early in the morning, someone saw someone coming from Liujia Village, and saw the lawyer and Li Zheng walking towards Shen's house, so they all knew there was something going on.
