Chapter 1234: Liu Chuxue Really Said That

His shout startled Xia Qiu, who raised a hand and smacked his arm: "Keep your voice down; there are so many people helping in the yard."

Qiu Shaofeng glanced outside, then lowered his voice: "It's my fault; this matter is simply too big, and I got too excited for a moment."

He then said with a tense expression: "Did Liu Chuxue really say that?"

When Xia Qiu first learned that Liu Chuxue was transferring the job to her, she hadn't been much better than this man, but she still gave him a coquettish glare: "When has Liu Chuxue ever told a lie?"

The impact of this matter on Qiu Shaofeng was so great that even the sorrow over his great-grandmother's passing was diluted.

Today, besides Fu Yan Cheng, the one who came with Xiao Fu to pay respects to the Qiu family's great-grandmother was also Xiao Wancheng, the eldest from the Xiao family's first branch.

Originally, the fourth son, Xiao Wanpeng, had prepared to go along, but the eldest aunt stopped him: "You are getting married soon; let your eldest brother take leave and go with you instead."

Actually, as the natal family of the great-granddaughter-in-law, there was no need for many people to come today; it was just that the Qiu great-grandmother had a host of great-grandchildren below her, and he feared that if too few people came, it would make Xia Qiu lose face, so he called his nephew over to lend support.

Although they were far away, they set off early, so when they arrived it was not yet late; at least the natal families of the other great-granddaughter-in-laws had not arrived yet.

Fu Yan Cheng had already borrowed a car from Kong Yizhang for four days, which was convenient for them; fortunately, this car was a scrapped vehicle he had helped Kong Yizhang obtain, not a unit official car, otherwise he would have felt too embarrassed.

However, this meant that the several fuel coupons he had worked so hard to get were all used up this time.

As soon as their car stopped, someone who knew them ran into the yard: "Shaofeng, your wife's family has arrived."

Qiu Shaofeng hurriedly went out to greet them: "Father, brother-in-law, cousin, you have come."

Xiao Fu patted his shoulder, while Fu Yan Cheng and Xiao Wancheng said at the same time: "Accept our condolences."

Qiu Shaofeng led the group to the spirit hall, said a few words to the person in charge, and then heard that person shout loudly: "The natal family of the Qiu family great-granddaughter-in-law Xia Qiu has come to pay respects."

After they paid their respects, the other relatives of the Qiu family all crowded up: "So you are Shaofeng's wife's family, right?"

Xiao Fu had never seen this person before: "Who are you?"

That person pointed to the eldest of the first branch, Qiu Shaojiang: "I am Shaojiang's father-in-law; we haven't met before."

While speaking, he also nodded to Fu Yan Cheng and Xiao Wancheng.

Before long, Qiu Shaohu, the elder brother-in-law who worked at the shoe factory, also crowded over, holding a box of cigarettes in his hand and starting to distribute them, but except for Xiao Fu, both Fu Yan Cheng and Xiao Wancheng said they did not smoke.

Seeing that they did not take any, he felt they looked down on him: "In this day and age, there are still men who don't smoke; how rare."

Fu Yan Cheng's mood for chatting for a few days instantly vanished; he looked at Xiao Fu and said: "Father, my cousin and I will go out for a bit; we'll be back soon."

Thinking that Fu Yan Cheng's younger sister was working in the farm ahead, he knew he must be going to see her: "Alright, you go ahead."

The reason Fu Yan Cheng brought Xiao Wancheng along was that he saw he also did not want to stay here: "We'll be back soon."

After speaking, he also nodded to the several people present, as a greeting.

However, Qiu Shaohu's elder brother-in-law, seeing them leave, had a very unpleasant expression; he raised his hand and lightly pushed Xiao Fu: "Your son-in-law looks down on people a bit."

Xiao Fu had been chatting well with Qiu Shaojiang's father-in-law; hearing these words, his face immediately turned cold: "My son-in-law's sister is working in the farm ahead; he is just passing by to go see her, so he left. How did that become 'looking down on people' in your mouth? Can you even speak properly?"
