Chapter 102: So as Not to Be Targeted

If it weren't for the fact that this era wasn't as free as later generations, she would have wanted to take her dad, mom, and sister to live in the city.

But let's take it one step at a time. In a few months, she would be graduating from high school, and since she couldn't take the college entrance exam for the time being, she would inevitably have to think of other ways out.

Liu Mu saw that things were settled: "I'll go cook first. After we eat, we'll go pay back the money we borrowed."

Her daughter was right; this money was a troublemaker in their hands.

They say the children of poor families take charge early, and this was absolutely true. Look at how this house was organized by Chunxiao; she even knew to ask Aunt Cuihong's family to help rebuild a small stove in the side room, which saved them the trouble.

Liu Mu moved quickly. After eating, she let Chunxiao clean up, and then she and Chuxue went out together.

This caused the Liu family, who had been paying attention to the second branch and waiting for them to clean up so they could block them, to miss them: "Chunxiao, where are your mom and second sister?"

Chunxiao naturally guarded against them. Seeing it was the eldest sister-in-law: "It's not that my second sister got some rewards, so they went to pay back the external debts borrowed for my dad's medical treatment."

When these words were spoken, it almost made Old Lady Liu, who had been following quietly, burst into a curse. She was pulled back by Liu Jianqiang, who was following her: "Grandma, if you don't want my mom and dad to be well, make a scene now."

Qu Aihua hadn't expected the second aunt and Chuxue to move so quickly. They had clearly just seen them eating, and in this short time, they had gone out.

But since she had already come: "Oh, you're busy. I'll go in and see Second Uncle."

But just as she finished speaking, she heard a voice from the door: "Coming to see Second Uncle empty-handed? Truly worthy of being Ge Xiulan's daughter-in-law, not even a hair is pulled out."

Qu Aihua hadn't expected someone to come at this time. Seeing the person who entered carrying a basket, her face turned pale.

She cursed Old Lady Liu dozens of times in her heart. It had been agreed that she would bring a few eggs, but at the last minute, she said it was better to keep them for themselves to eat. This face was lost completely.

The person who came was none other than Aunt Cuihong, who had been helping take care of Chunxiao these days. Chunxiao shook the water off her hands: "Auntie, you're here. Come in quickly."

"Where's your mom?"

"My mom and second sister went to Uncle Liang's and the other families to pay back money."

"Oh my, they just got back. Why be afraid of paying it back a day late? I don't know why they don't rest."

Thinking of something, she glanced toward the Liu family side: "That's true. It's not peaceful leaving it there. It's better to pay it back early and be at ease, so as not to be targeted by others."

She knew about the Liu family being stolen from. It was possible that those shameless people would target Chuxue's rewards.

Aunt Cuihong took out a bottle of canned food and twenty eggs she had brought: "Shanliang, this time you had an accident, and it really put Lamei and the children through a lot. Since the family has separated, you should take more care of your own small family in the future. Lamei hasn't had it easy all these years."

Liu Fu naturally knew this was someone standing up for his wife: "Sister-in-law, I know. These years, it's been thanks to you taking care of my Lamei."

"Lamei and I have a bond of life and death. Isn't it only right to be good to her?"

This wasn't false. A few years ago, the two of them went up the mountain together to look for mountain goods, and they ran into a lone wild boar. There were constant situations while running away, and they supported each other all the way to escape. Since then, their relationship had been ironclad.

Because Liu Mu wasn't there, she didn't stay long: "Alright, you rest well. I should go back too."

Chunxiao thanked her like a little adult and sent her to the main gate: "Aunt Cuihong, take it slow. Come over to play when you have time."

"Alright, go back."

Chunxiao watched her walk away. As soon as she turned around, she saw Old Lady Liu heading toward the second branch's room, and she ran in to catch up.
