Chapter 122: Consider It Our Family's Supplement to Your Dowry

With those words, the amount of information revealed was huge.

Xia Qiu spoke first: "Building a house? Who is building a house?"

Liu Chuxue did not hide it: "Although Father's leg is nothing serious, the doctor said he must return to rest at home. You know our family's situation; living together inevitably leads to bumps and bruises, which is not conducive to Father's recovery."

Xia Qiu asked with a puzzled expression: "Do you mean our family is going to build a house?"

Seeing her expression, Liu Chuxue smiled slightly and nodded: "Yes."

Xia Qiu blurted out: "Where did the money come from?"

Hearing Xia Qiu's question, the people in the Qiu family courtyard also stared at Liu Chuxue; this was what they were all thinking.

Liu Chuxue knew that news of her reward would spread before long: "I accidentally helped the public a little bit before and received some rewards, which are just right for building a house."

Immediately, the courtyard erupted: "Really? Helping a little bit and getting enough reward to build a house?"

One without boundaries even stepped forward: "Sister Xia Qiu, tell Auntie how much reward you got, let us share in your joy."

Liu Chuxue smiled faintly: "Auntie, I won't say how much the reward was, but it is more than enough to build a brick-and-tile house."

Just then, Qiu Shaofeng received the news and ran back: "Chuxue, how is Father-in-law?"

"The surgery was very successful. Go to the hospital to remove the steel pins in half a year, but even after recovery, you must be careful in the future."

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

Liu Chuxue then asked curiously: "Why didn't everyone go to work today?"

Qiu Shaofeng smiled: "Two families in the main branch are getting their daughters-in-law today on the same day. Many people are helping at both houses, and we are all waiting to eat the banquet."

Hearing this, Liu Chuxue thought that fortunately she had not agreed to Qiu family Great Grandmother's invitation; if she had really stayed for lunch, it would have been truly awkward.

Seeing it was late, she did not stay longer: "Sister, Brother-in-law, then I'm leaving. I still have to rush back to help Mother cook."

After speaking, she greeted the crowd in the Qiu family courtyard and then left.

Xia Qiu walked her all the way to the main road: "Sister, was what you said earlier true?"

"What?"

"About getting the reward."

"Yes, and I got quite a lot."

Saying this, she released her spiritual sense to scan the surroundings, took fifty yuan from her pocket—actually retrieved from her space—and said: "Sister, take this money. Consider it our family's supplement to your dowry."

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

Liu Chuxue simply stuffed the money directly into Xia Qiu's trouser pocket: "If I give it to you, take it. I really got a lot of money, and it's a very large sum. Even after building the house, there will be plenty left. Just take it peacefully; you won't be at a loss if something happens later."

Xia Qiu's face was full of guilt. When Father went to the city for treatment before, she couldn't come up with a single cent. If not for her sister's boldness in finding the construction site manager, Father's leg injury would have been delayed: "Sister, I... how can I accept this."

Liu Chuxue patted her hand: "Before the family split, the power was held by Grandfather and Grandmother. Being able to prepare those two quilts for you was only because Cousin Liu Ruxiang set an example. Originally, Father wanted to gather fifty yuan for you to keep in your dowry box, but we didn't expect things to happen."

But it is not too late now. Keep this money well, don't let anyone know. If something happens in the future, it can be used for an emergency."

Xia Qiu's heart felt warm: "Xue, thank you."
