Chapter 119: Just consider it the dowry our family is supplementing for you

Once she said this, the amount of information was huge.

Xiaqiu asked first: "Building a house? Who is building a house?"

Chuxue didn't hide it: "Although Dad’s leg is fine, the doctor said he needs to come back and rest quietly. You know the situation at home; living together inevitably leads to friction, which isn't good for Dad’s recovery."

Xiaqiu asked with a puzzled face: "You mean our family is building a house?"

Chuxue found her expression somewhat funny and nodded: "Yes."

Xiaqiu blurted out: "Where did the money come from?"

The people in the Qiu family courtyard heard Xiaqiu’s question and also stared at Chuxue. This was also what they were thinking.

Chuxue knew that the news of her getting a reward wouldn't take long to spread: "I accidentally helped the public with something before and got some rewards, which I’m using to build the house."

The courtyard immediately exploded: "Really? You helped with a little thing and got enough reward to build a house?"

Someone without boundaries even leaned in: "Xiaqiu’s eldest sister, how much reward did you get? Tell your aunt, let us be happy too."

Chuxue said lightly: "Auntie, I won't say how much reward I got, but it’s more than enough to build a brick-and-tile house."

At this time, Qiu Shaofeng heard the news and ran back: "Chuxue, how is Father-in-law?"

"The surgery was very successful. He’ll go to the hospital to have the steel pins removed in half a year. But even if he’s better, he’ll have to take it easy in the future."

"That’s good, that’s good. Your sister and I were thinking of going over after we finished these few days."

Chuxue asked curiously: "Why isn't everyone working today?"

Qiu Shaofeng laughed: "Two families in the clan are marrying off daughters-in-law today, so many people are helping out at both families. They’re all waiting to eat the feast."

Hearing this, Chuxue thought it was fortunate she hadn't accepted the great-grandmother’s invitation. If she had really stayed for lunch, that would have been awkward.

Seeing it was getting late, she didn't stay any longer: "Sister, Brother-in-law, I’m leaving. I have to rush back to help Mom cook."

After saying this, she greeted everyone in the Qiu family courtyard and left.

Xiaqiu walked her all the way to the main road: "Sister, was what you said before true?"

"What?"

"About getting the reward."

"Yes, and I got quite a lot."

As she said this, she released her spiritual sense to scan the surroundings and took fifty yuan out of her pocket—in reality, she took it from the space: "Sister, take this money. Just consider it the dowry our family is supplementing for you."

Xiaqiu reached out to push it away: "What are you doing? How can I take this money? Put it away quickly, don't let anyone see."

Chuxue stuffed the money directly into Xiaqiu’s pants pocket: "Take it if I give it to you. I really got quite a lot of money, a very large sum. Even after building the house, I won't be able to spend it all. Just take it with peace of mind so you won't be caught off guard if something happens in the future."

Xiaqiu felt guilty. When Dad went to the city for medical treatment, she couldn't even take out half a cent. If it weren't for her sister’s boldness in finding the construction site manager, Dad’s leg injury might have been delayed: "Sister, I... how can I be so embarrassed?"

Chuxue patted her hand: "Before, the family hadn't split up, and the power was in the hands of Grandpa and Grandma. Being able to prepare those two quilts for you was also because Cousin Ruxiang had set a standard. Dad originally wanted to scrape together fifty yuan for your dowry, but he didn't expect the accident to happen. But it’s not too late now. Keep this money safe, don't let anyone know, and you can use it for emergencies in the future."

Xiaqiu felt warm inside: "Xue, thank you."
