Chapter 127: Since When Have You Been So Enthusiastic
Liu's mother saw determination on her daughter's face: "Rest assured, we will definitely stand on your side and won't rashly promise anything to others."
With Liu's mother's assurance, Liu Chuxue finally felt at ease.
She only feared that while she fought hard on the front lines, they would be turned against her; if that happened, she would never give her true heart again, helping them split the family or build a house would simply count as repaying the debt of giving her life.
Both were capable people; it didn't take long before everything was prepared.
Since the family had no large wok and relations with the Liu family had become awkward, they had to borrow the kitchen of the neighboring Li family to stew the fish.
After the fish went into the pot, Liu Chuxue specifically ran to the homestead site: "Uncle Liangzi, I caught a few fish, chopped them into pieces, and stewed them. At noon, everyone will get a bowl; it's our small token of gratitude."
Uncle Liangzi spoke polite words on his lips, but his heart was immensely pleased; after all, everyone had come to help today, which meant they were working for free. Liu Chuxue's arrangement not only gave him face but also meant that when construction officially began, the men would certainly put more effort into building the house.
County Town
After finishing his work, Fu Yan Cheng found his comrade: "What did you say?"
"You transferred out because of an arm injury, and now even your ears are having problems?"
"No, brother, what's going on? Why have you come to me asking for cement?"
"Stop talking nonsense; just say if you can help or not."
"Since you've asked, even if I couldn't, I must. Tell me, how much do you need?"
Fu Yan Cheng glanced outside, then wrote a number on the table; if Liu Chuxue were here, she would see that the quantity was significantly more than what she had requested: "I need it urgently, so contact them as soon as possible. Of course, pay whatever the price is; I can't let you violate regulations."
Wu Benwang lifted his large tea mug and took a sip: "Alright, I'll make the contact for you right away."
Just as he was about to dial the number, Fu Yan Cheng spoke up again: "One favor shouldn't burden two masters; simply contact the Baiye Commune for me and have them give a heads-up to the Blue Brick Factory."
"Since when have you been so enthusiastic?"
"What kind of look is that? I'm just helping a friend."
"Everyone knows what kind of person you, Fu Yan Cheng, are; if others don't, I certainly do. Spit it out, what's the situation?"
"You transferred out and even changed genders; why are you so gossipy?"
"Fine, fine, fine, I won't ask. I'll find out sooner or later anyway."
Fu Yan Cheng watched the person until the matter was settled: "I'll leave first. Once it's done, I'll treat you to a meal when I have time."
"You really are the type who won't let go of the eagle until you see the rabbit; then I'll be waiting."
When Fu Yan Cheng returned to the County Gongan Bureau, he happened to catch Chen's father forcing himself over to inquire about the situation, so he specifically stopped: "You're saying the Liu family members have already obtained the victim's letter of forgiveness and are out?"
"Yes."
"If we can also obtain the victim's letter of forgiveness, can we settle this?"
"If the victim is willing to issue a letter of forgiveness, it's not impossible, but Yan Qingshuang did indeed break the law. The specifics depend on the victim's attitude, after all, she was the mastermind who used improper means to lure the Liu family into committing crimes."
Disgust flashed in Fu Yan Cheng's eyes; having done something disgusting, she still wanted the victim to write a letter of forgiveness. What a delusion.
On the Chen family side, since only Chen's mother, Yan Qingshuang, had plotted and hired the Liu family's eldest branch to attack Liu Chuxue, Chen's father had been released early. However, the old man's hospitalization and the arrest of his youngest son for rape had left him overwhelmed, and only now did he have time to handle his wife's matter.
