Chapter 120: Better to Take a Step Back and Find a Broad Horizon

The three members of the eldest branch family now didn't want to stay here for even a moment, so when they saw the severance document, although furious, they quickly accepted it, signed and pressed their fingerprints without a second thought.

To be safe, Liu Chuxue also asked the Gongan Bureau officer in charge of this case to witness it, and he signed as a guarantor on it as well.

Liu Jianqiang handed the five hundred yuan he had scraped together from borrowing last night to Liu Chuxue: "We have fulfilled all your requests, now bring your letter of forgiveness."

After confirming the money was correct, Liu Chuxue borrowed paper and a brush, wrote a letter of forgiveness on the spot, and handed it to Liu Jianqiang: "From now on, we are strangers. Never let them come jumping in front of our second branch again, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Having spoken, she turned and left the Gongan Bureau.

The current laws are not yet perfect; even if she clung to the case and refused to let go, they probably wouldn't be sentenced for very long anyway.

Her family still has to live in the village, so there are things she must consider; after all, public opinion is fearsome. This is not the future era where one can ignore everything; it is better to gain some practical benefit and take a step back to find a broad horizon.

She had not walked far after leaving the Gongan Bureau when she met Fu Yan Cheng: "Why are you here?"

Fu Yan Cheng looked at Liu Chuxue with a smile: "Is it all handled?"

"How did you know?"

Thinking of the attitudes of those people in the Gongan Bureau today, she suddenly understood: "Have you been paying attention to my affairs?"

Fu Yan Cheng nodded: "Yes, it is appropriate to care a bit about the matters of my savior."

"Why do you appear here now?"

"There are still some loose ends from the previous matter; I happen to be in this area these few days."

"Oh, then you get busy; I have things to do as well, so I'll take my leave first."

"I'll see you off."

"No need, no need; I have things to attend to and don't plan to return for a while."

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Liu Chuxue thought for a moment; since he had saved her life, she might as well consider this his repayment: "Do you have any connections to buy cement?"

Fu Yan Cheng did not answer immediately; after thinking for a moment, he asked: "How much do you need?"

Liu Chuxue took out that piece of paper and handed it to Fu Yan Cheng.

After seeing the content written on it: "Are you planning to build a house?"

"Yes."

Fu Yan Cheng looked at it: "When do you need it?"

"Naturally the sooner the better; although few in the village use cement to pour foundations, I thought if we could get some, pouring some mortar in later would make it more solid."

"You understand these things?"

She naturally would not say she had seen it in the future: "I don't understand; I just thought those would be more solid."

"Alright, leave this matter to me; you don't need to worry about it. I'll have someone deliver it to you tomorrow."

Remembering something, he added: "Coincidentally, I have a classmate at the glass factory; I'll get a few panes of glass installed for you later."

Liu Chuxue did not expect such good news: "Really? That's wonderful; I was just worrying about it."

Only after speaking did she belatedly feel she might have gone too far; perhaps he was just being polite, yet she had taken it seriously: "Um, if it's too much trouble, then forget it."

Seeing her expression, Fu Yan Cheng could guess what she was thinking; with a good-natured smile he said: "It's no trouble; I will definitely get it done properly for you."

Seeing that Liu Chuxue did not think he was lying, she agreed: "Then thank you very much."

Fu Yan Cheng glanced at the watch on his wrist: "Is there anything else? If not, I'll see you back first."

He feared the little girl might run into those from the Liu family again and suffer losses later.

Liu Chuxue thought about adding a dish for the people who helped at noon, so she said: "There's nothing else, but you don't need to see me off; I'll go back myself."

She didn't want someone to see her off, otherwise how could she cheat: "If you have time, you might as well help me check on the cement matter first."

Fu Yan Cheng thought it was indeed so; since he had promised, he naturally couldn't drop the ball: "Alright, then, be safe on your way."

After the two parted, Fu Yan Cheng turned and returned to the Gongan Bureau; he wanted to check the follow-up on the Liu family members to have a clear picture in his mind, and he also needed to borrow the Gongan Bureau's telephone.

As for Liu Chuxue, she caught the shuttle bus to the Northern Suburb Farm, thinking to send a message to her sister, and also to catch a few fish in the reservoir, which she could use to add a dish for those uncles and elders who helped.
