Chapter 116: What Nonsense Are You Talking, Child?

Liu Chuxue naturally understood her thoughts: "This depends on your decision."

Anyway, if the third branch does not want it, or the price she offers is unsatisfactory, she will sell it to other families in the village; by then, see if it doesn't irritate the Liu family to death.

Su Hongjuan quickly spoke up: "We want this house, but can the price be a bit lower?"

Liu Chuxue glanced at her: "Naturally, it is based on the current market price of this house. If you want it, prepare the money in advance; there is no such thing as credit at my place."

Having said that, she turned and went back into her own room.

Originally, she had thought about building a courtyard wall, but now it seems unnecessary; if things go quickly, the new house can be completed in a month. These days are not like the future; no decoration is needed, just a simple coat of white plaster and one can move in.

Liu Chuxue told her father everything: "Father, is there anything else you need to instruct?"

Her father's expression was somewhat desolate: "No, you have done very well. Since they cannot accommodate us, it is better to cut ties."

Liu Chuxue could roughly guess what this cheap father was thinking and spoke to comfort him: "Once we move, I will take my mother to find that National Medical Master to help her regulate her body properly; perhaps in the future, she can even bear us a little brother."

She said this not only to comfort her father, but mainly because her mother was not actually old; she had only fallen ill during her confinement. They must be given some hope, or they will have no motivation.

During this time, she had secretly given them space spring water to drink many times; she believed that with the aid of Chinese medicine for regulation, their bodies would recover health soon.

Her father did not expect his daughter to say such a thing: "What nonsense are you talking, child?"

Though he said this, his reddened ear tips betrayed his inner feelings; they were actually obsessed with having a son, but since his wife's body had problems, they had to accept their fate.

The thought that had originally been abandoned came alive again upon hearing his daughter's words.

In a government compound in the capital city, a woman was answering a phone call: "How is it? Have you found it?"

"I am sorry, Lady, we have turned the cave inside out several times but have not found the item you requested."

"Are you sure you searched the right place?"

"Yes, Lady, I am sure. We have turned it inside out several times, and indeed, we have not found the item you mentioned."

"I understand. Try to make contact with the Liu Dazhu family in Liujia Village at the foot of the mountain and see if you can find any clues."

"Understood, Lady."

After hanging up the phone, the woman fell into deep thought: Was that item really on the child at the time?

She felt somewhat regretful; why had she not carefully checked the swaddling clothes before sending the child away? If that item had not been left on the road or in the cave back then, perhaps it was now in the hands of the old Liu couple.

She had been so stupid back then; why had she gone far to find a near thing by sending the child to Haishi? Now, wanting to have the child recognized by the Xiao family, she never expected it to be so difficult.

The Xiao family insisted that the child had a jade plaque on him; only by finding that jade plaque could the child possibly be accepted by the Xiao family, but where could she go to find that jade plaque?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became; in a fit of rage, she smashed the tea cup beside her onto the floor.

Someone who heard the noise and came over asked: "Huiwen, what is wrong with you?"

"Nothing, I accidentally knocked the tea cup onto the floor."

She certainly would not reveal the hidden matters in her heart, but she knew clearly that the Xiao family side had probably already started investigating the events of that year. If they could not find that jade plaque, was it really going to let the child born by that lowly woman Han Chunyi return to the Xiao family?

It was really unbearable!
