Chapter 1244: In-Law, Do Not Misunderstand

~4 min read 765 words

What could be done? Factory Director Yang could only assign Secretary Jiang to handle it.

Secretary Jiang naturally did not know where Liu Chuxue's family lived, so he had to go to the Personnel Department; the address registered there was the Xiao family's.

By the time he arrived with people, he happened to meet Deputy Factory Director Gu, who was also there with officers from the Gongan Bureau.

Xiao Fu happened to be home today; seeing the two groups arriving one after the other, he asked, "You say Liu Chuxue has resigned?"

Deputy Factory Director Gu reacted first; they might have caused trouble.

Fearing Liu Chuxue would face blame, Deputy Factory Director Gu quickly explained, "Liu Chuxue said she was going to join the army, so she handed over her work."

Xiao Fu knew Deputy Factory Director Gu; after all, when he had been hospitalized in the city before, Liu Chuxue had saved Deputy Factory Director Gu's grandson, and the man had even visited his ward: "If you are looking for her, go to her in-laws' place."

Seeing the two groups only say they came to deliver rewards to Liu Chuxue and said nothing more, he quickly gave the Fu family's address: "Although Liu Chuxue's in-laws have split the household, the courtyard she lives in is not far from her in-laws' home. I have never actually been to the new house; you will probably have to ask at her in-laws' place."

Actually, it was just a matter of making a phone call, but Xiao Fu, out of showing off, did not mention the phone call.

After giving a few instructions to Aunt Miao in the courtyard, he said, "Let's go; I will accompany you on this trip."

Deputy Factory Director Gu naturally would not refuse. Both groups had arrived in vehicles; watching them leave, the neighbors who had stuck their heads out to watch the commotion all gathered together: "What has happened to the Xiao family?"

"I don't know; I only heard they came looking for Liu Chuxue."

"Judging by those people's attitude, it should be good news."

Xiao Fu boarded the jeep where Deputy Factory Director Gu was seated and directed the driver toward the Fu family.

Actually, Xiao Fu had never been to the Fu family before either; however, once when he went there on business, he happened to meet Fu's father standing at the street corner. After they exchanged greetings, Fu's father invited him in to sit, but at that time, because he was wearing his work clothes and had work to do, he politely declined.

Otherwise, today they might have had to make a phone call.

After the car arrived at the place, they asked around slightly and reached the Fu family.

Today, Fu's mother happened to be resting at home; seeing Xiao Fu and Deputy Factory Director Gu enter the courtyard, she was stunned for a moment: "In-law, why have you come? Is it because of Liu Chuxue..."

Xiao Fu quickly spoke up: "Liu Chuxue is fine; in-law, do not misunderstand."

Saying this, he pointed to Deputy Factory Director Gu behind him: "This is Deputy Factory Director Gu of the Rolling Steel Factory."

Actually, Fu's mother had seen Deputy Factory Director Gu before when she went to the factory to find her eldest son: "Why have you come here?"

Deputy Factory Director Gu quickly spoke up: "Comrade, it is good news."

Xiao Fu said somewhat embarrassedly: "I have not yet been to Liu Chuxue and her family's new home, so I had to come here first."

Hearing it was good news, and seeing that those people did not intend to speak further, Fu's mother did not ask more: "Did she not go to work today?"

As soon as she said this, Deputy Factory Director Gu bitterly groaned inwardly; it seemed Liu Chuxue had not told her natal family about her resignation, and even her in-laws did not know. But if this matter came out of his mouth, he feared it would cause trouble for Liu Chuxue: "She did go to the factory today, but left again. These comrades traveled from far away, so I could only bring them here."

Hearing this, Fu's mother could not help but think: Could it be that Liu Chuxue is experiencing morning sickness, so she took leave?

Not daring to delay further, she said: "So that is how it is; I will take you there right now."

Saying this, she also called out toward the side room: "Wang Shuhui, I am going out; if anyone comes looking, tell her to wait for me a while."
