Chapter 101: I Advise You to Think It Over Carefully

"The Shan family has finally turned things around; even if that leg never heals, they won't worry about lacking a good life."

"Uncle Liu Wu must be regretting it so much his intestines have turned green; if the family hadn't split, all that money would have been turned over to the public."

"By the way, we've only been talking about the Liu family's eldest branch; how is Old Liu the Second's leg? Can it really be cured?"

"I don't know. My husband said his leg is in a cast."

"Didn't they say before that it was incurable?"

"The doctors at the Commune Hospital couldn't cure it, not that all doctors are unable to."

"Isn't that Liu Chuxue?"

Everyone looked simultaneously in the direction that person was facing: "It really is her."

As Liu Chuxue approached, those people crowded around: "Girl Liu Chuxue, how is your father's leg treatment going?"

"Thank you, uncles, aunts, and mothers-in-law, for your concern. Fortunately, we didn't go too late, and we met a good Physician. However, it will probably take over half a year of rest to recover, and he should avoid heavy physical labor as much as possible in the future, but it won't affect normal life."

"That's good, that's good."

"Girl Liu Chuxue, tell us how much reward those people gave you today."

"You might not believe it if I say it, but I haven't even had time to look yet; I came out early because of an urgent matter."

Some didn't believe it, but thinking about it, it made sense; they had just heard Ge Pozi scolding people, so she probably really hadn't had time to look.

Whether they believed it or not didn't matter to Liu Chuxue: "Uncles, aunts, and mothers-in-law, I have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."

Before they could try to keep her, she was already far away.

Liu Chuxue went straight to the Village Committee; at this time, those few village cadres must still be there.

As expected, two people were puffing away in the room, not minding the choking smoke: "By the way, the city, the county, and the township have all given rewards; shouldn't our village show some appreciation too?"

"Hmm, you're right. No matter how little, we must show some gesture, after all, they brought honor to the village."

The Village Chief thought of something and sighed: "If the Shan Gang couple hadn't caused trouble, this Advanced Brigade would surely have been ours."

At this moment, the Party Secretary noticed Liu Chuxue walking in: "Liu Chuxue, why have you come here?"

"Party Secretary Grandpa, Village Chief Uncle, I came to talk to you about something."

"Speak; as long as we can help, we certainly will."

"You know that the relationship between us and my grandparents and my eldest uncle is very strained. For my father to rest properly, I want to ask if we can be allocated a new foundation plot?"

Hearing this, the Party Secretary frowned: "Have you discussed this matter with your parents?"

Liu Chuxue knew they meant well: "Party Secretary Grandpa, I am the head of my household now, and my parents also support me."

After thinking for a moment, she spoke the truth: "You know, I received some rewards today; of course, I haven't had time to see the exact amount yet, but this money is both a joy and a worry for us. We don't know how much trouble it might cause later."

"I thought it would be better to spend the money, so that everyone can rest easy."

The Party Secretary and the Village Chief exchanged a glance; they didn't expect this Miss to be so clear-headed, even thinking of all these things.

The Village Chief spoke first: "Have you found a suitable place?"

Liu Chuxue thought for a moment: "Is the earthen slope at the end of the village okay?"

The Party Secretary and the Village Chief exchanged another glance; both were somewhat disapproving.

This time, the Party Secretary spoke first: "Liu Chuxue, to be honest, your choice is good, but have you thought about it? To build a house there, leveling the ground alone will cost a lot more money. Moreover, the slope in front will face soil erosion after rain in the future. To live securely, reinforcing the slope is a major project. I advise you to think it over carefully."
