Chapter 124: What a Beautiful Dream

Liu Chuxue went straight over the mountain back to the village. Near the foot of the mountain, she took a sack from her space, filled it with seven or eight stunned big fish, and hurried home.

Near the gate, she heard a commotion in the courtyard: "If you don't give me an explanation today, I won't leave."

Hearing that, Liu Chuxue knew who had arrived.

She hurried into the courtyard and saw Ge Pozi making a scene with the Liu family, thinking: With Ge Pozi's nature, she won't stop until the Liu family pays a heavy price; truly, they deserve it.

Seeing Liu Chuxue enter the courtyard carrying things, Ge Pozi's eyes were full of calculation.

But Liu Chuxue ignored her completely, walked straight into the west wing carrying the things, and said: "Mom, I'm back."

Liu's mother saw her daughter returning with a sack and asked: "What are you carrying?"

Liu Chuxue put the things down on the ground: "It's fish I brought back from the North Suburb Reservoir."

Hearing it was fish, Liu's mother didn't ask further; she was truly used to it: "Do you have any plans?"

Liu Chuxue nodded: "Today, Uncle Liangzi found people to level the site. He said he won't charge for work today, counting it as help; we'll only start counting wages once the blasting begins and work starts.

Those uncles and fathers are doing it to show respect to Uncle Liangzi, but we can't take it for granted. I thought I'd cook a pot of fish chunks and send a bowl to each family then; no matter how little, it's our gesture of goodwill."

Liu's mother didn't object, nodding and saying: "You're right. People are coming to help because of your Uncle Liangzi; we can't pretend not to know that."

Seeing her mother agree, she turned and walked out: "I'll go borrow a big basin from next door."

She left the main gate and walked toward the Li house. The second daughter-in-law of the Li family, who didn't get along with Ge Xiulan, saw Liu Chuxue approaching and came up: "Why did they come back?"

Liu Chuxue didn't hide it: "My grandparents signed a severance of kinship document with our second branch and made compensation to me."

Li Guizhi immediately gave Liu Chuxue a thumbs-up: "As expected of a child who went to school; this is much more practical than making them squat in a bamboo cage. Let's see what the Liu family clansmen can say."

Meanwhile, the commotion in the courtyard started again: "Mom, can't you just go back first?"

"If you don't get Baocheng out, I won't leave. How are you being an aunt? You came back and left him there. How can you be so cruel? If it weren't for your stupid idea, why would he have to suffer this? How will he ever find a partner after this?"

"Mom, I said I'll find a way. Please stop making a scene, okay?"

"Ge Xiulan, do you have any conscience? Am I the one making a scene?"

"Mom, I'm begging you, can you give us a little time?"

After great effort, Ge Pozi was finally tricked into leaving.

Afterwards, the people of the first branch returned to their rooms. Although separated by several rooms, who could blame Liu Chuxue for hearing everything clearly now that her hearing was so good? They said: "This matter was caused by the Chen family; naturally, we must find them to resolve it."

"The Chen family can barely take care of themselves now; do you think they'll pay attention to us?"

"If they don't care, don't blame me for making a scene at their workplace."

"Mom, if you go there to make a scene, my job will probably have no hope left."

"Then what do you suggest? We can't let your cousin stay in the bureau forever, can we?"

"Didn't my uncles already go to find a way? Better wait a bit longer. If they have connections to get him out, we'll save ourselves the trouble.

After such an incident, the Chen family naturally must compensate us. Then we'll just ask them to arrange a job for me; anyway, they promised that before, and we won't make any other excessive demands."

One had to admit, Liu Jian Dong really had beautiful thoughts.
