Chapter 100: Do Whatever You Want to Do

With matters resolved on this end, Kong Yizhang and Fu Yan Cheng dropped a few hints to the public security officers in charge of the case before departing.

As soon as they got in the car, Kong Yizhang spoke up: "What's wrong with you today? Why didn't you deliver the prepared gift of gratitude?"

Fu Yan Cheng looked out the window: "I'll deliver my gift of gratitude at another time; that way it will show more sincerity."

Kong Yizhang's expression froze instantly: "Damn, brother, what do you mean by that?"

A smile curved Fu Yan Cheng's lips: "Just what you think."

Kong Yizhang's eyes widened directly: "They saved you, and you actually want to... are you even human?"

The two bickered all the way.

Willow Tree Village

No matter how much Ge Pozi caused trouble, the Second Branch treated her like air.

After all, if you engaged her in conversation, she would only get more energetic.

After those people left, Liu Chuxue didn't sit idle: "Mom, Dad, no matter how Grandma causes a scene, just don't say a word. I've already told Kong Yizhang and the others to let them suffer a bit inside; when the time is right, they'll be released."

Liu's father had already cooled toward his parents and older brother and sister-in-law, and he knew that if not for his daughter's capability, his leg would likely have been crippled; thus, from now on, his daughter would be the backbone of the family: "Do whatever you want to do, go ahead and do it."

Liu Chuxue nodded: "Mom, Dad, we definitely can't move away from here for now. You know Grandma's temper; even after the First Branch's matter is resolved, clashes are still inevitable in the future. Now everyone knows we have money; I was thinking of hiring people to build the courtyard wall first. What do you think?"

Liu's mother thought it over and agreed; with a courtyard wall blocking the view, even if something happened, they wouldn't have to see it, and it would be less distressing at least: "Fine, just do as you think."

Just as they finished discussing, Liu Chunxiao rushed in hurriedly: "Dad, Mom, you're back."

Her voice arrived before she did, full of excitement: "You've finally returned."

But as soon as she entered the room and saw them, she choked up: "Dad, how is your leg?"

She didn't even bother putting down her schoolbag, rushed straight to Liu's father's side, tears suddenly streaming down, and reached out to touch the leg cast in plaster: "My eldest sister came by yesterday."

Liu's mother feared she might accidentally hurt Liu's father's leg again with her recklessness: "You girl, be careful."

Liu Chunxiao wiped the tears from her face: "Mom, will Dad's leg get better?"

Liu's mother looked at Liu Chuxue: "I can't remember what the doctor said; you tell her."

Liu Chuxue reached out and took Chunxiao's schoolbag: "Dad's leg injury was a bit severe, but the treatment was timely, plus the operating surgeon was skilled; a period of rest will suffice. However, it's best not to do heavy labor in the future; even after the leg heals, it can't be used as carelessly as before."

"That's truly wonderful."

But thinking of something, her mood suddenly dropped again: "Maybe I shouldn't go to school after all; I'll go back to the fields to earn work points."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then realized what she meant and couldn't help but feel a pang of pity for her.

Liu Chuxue patted her younger sister's hair: "Don't worry; our family will get better and better. Don't think about all that nonsense; Mom, Dad, and I will handle the family matters; you just focus on your studies."

Chunxiao wanted to say something else, but Liu Chuxue cut her off: "Alright, help take care of Dad; I'm going out for a bit."

Having said that, she hurried out the door.

Ge Pozi might have been tired from scolding; she was no longer in the courtyard by now.

As she walked through the village, she heard people discussing: "Tell me, how much reward did that girl Chuxue get today?"

"It must be a lot; that envelope was bulging; it's truly enviable."
