Chapter 1024: What Did I Do? Why Are They Scolding People Now?

After Liu Chuxue had already left, Liu Cunyi finally came to his senses: "Mom, where is Chuxue?"

Aunt Liangzi gave her own son a withering look, her face full of disappointment in his lack of progress: "With a brain like yours, you're so slow you'd miss hot shit."

"What did I do? Why are you scolding people now?"

Back when Chuxue's family was still scraping by under the Old Liu family, Aunt Liangzi had even entertained thoughts of becoming in-laws with Xiao Fu and Xiao Mu.

She had thought either to match her eldest son, Liu Cunren, with Xia Qiu, or if that failed, to match her younger son with Chuxue; she just never expected her eldest son and Xia Qiu to have no fate together.

As for Chuxue, who could have imagined that after the split, she would transform overnight, move to the city, and get a job, and moreover, a cadre position? She immediately extinguished her hopes of a marriage alliance and didn't hesitate to hint indirectly to her younger son.

Sure enough, not long after she moved to the city, she brought a partner back.

She knew her younger son had feelings for Chuxue, but she also knew better than to overreach; yet, regarding her younger son's sluggish temperament, she was furious.

At the very beginning, she regretted it no end; if her younger son had declared his feelings earlier, perhaps the two might have actually succeeded, but where in the world is there such a thing as a regret medicine? Thinking of the daughter-in-law she had favored flying away, she found her younger son very hard to look at.

However, this whole family were open-minded people; their attitude toward Chuxue was that while it was a pity, they still held blessings in their hearts.

As for Liu Cunyi, once he learned Chuxue had a job in the city, he understood he had no hope; after seeing Fu Yan Cheng, he completely gave up.

It's just that whenever the topic of matchmaking with a Miss came up at home, he would subconsciously refuse, giving the reason that he was still young and would wait until he turned twenty.

And so, Aunt Liangzi's marriage pressure came again: "Cunyi, in a few days you will turn twenty years old. I've asked someone to find a Miss for you; when the time comes, you must obediently go on the blind date, and don't pull any stunts on me again."

Liu Cunyi gave a soft "Hmm" and said no more.

But hearing his son agree, Aunt Liangzi finally put the stone in her heart down.

Then she heard her younger son say: "Don't say she already has a fiancé; even if she didn't, given the current situation between our two families, I know my own worth. Besides, it was my one-sided affection to begin with; I let it go long ago."

Aunt Liangzi felt a strange bitterness in her heart, but her face was all smiles: "Thinking that way is correct."

When Chuxue arrived home, the others had already finished processing the remaining wild boar and were preparing to take their leave.

Xiao Fu directly gave one strip of meat to each family and also prepared several large marrow bones for each household: "Here, take these back with you."

There were no scales at home, so the cutting was approximate; each family's share of meat must have been over ten jin.

Since the arrangement had been agreed upon in advance, no one was polite or hesitant to refuse; everyone beamed with joy and didn't forget to thank Xiao Fu and his daughter.

Uncle Liangzi saw that the strip of meat left for him was clearly the fattiest one and couldn't help but laugh: "You've sent the meat home, so don't dawdle; come straight to my place. There's a bottle of Erguotou at home; let's have a drink while we have good dishes."

Upon hearing there was alcohol to drink, the men stopped holding back.

After seeing the others off, Xiao Fu looked at the meat laid out on the ground: "How do you plan to arrange these?"

Chuxue glanced at the items on the ground: "My sister received about forty jin of meat today; tomorrow's banquet won't need that much meat, so I won't give her any more. Besides what remains for our own household, I'll give twenty jin to my grandfather, my eldest uncle, and my youngest aunt's family, and send five jin to Fu Yan Cheng's family to taste the freshness.

I'm thinking of dividing a few more portions to take to our Section Chief, and to Sister Hong who has always guided me in the section, and Sister Jiang from logistics to taste. Do you need to maintain relationships on your end?"
