Chapter 130: Visiting, Thank-you Gift

Seeing them finish unloading the cement, Liu Mu quickly brought water into the courtyard: "You’ve all worked so hard, come wash your hands and have a bowl of water."

Liangzi and the others washed their hands, drank some water, and hurried back to the new house site. They had to get the foundation dug today and watch the stonemasons carve out all the stones for the foundation; there was a lot to do.

Fu Yancheng didn't leave after drinking the water. He got up, went to the driver’s cab, and brought in two net bags of items: "Uncle, Auntie, last time it was thanks to Chuxue’s rescue. I should have come to thank you sooner, but first I was recovering, and then I had a mission. I’m only coming now, I hope you don't mind."

As he spoke, he looked at Chuxue, who had just come out of the west side room.

Chuxue naturally heard what he said: "What are you doing? According to that logic, should I also send you a thank-you gift? Didn't I say before that we saved each other and it’s even?"

Fu Yancheng smiled when he heard her say this: "Our situations are different. Without me, you could have saved yourself, but it’s different for me. Without your help, I might have lost my life."

Actually, that wasn't entirely true. Without Fu Yancheng, she would have just spent more time, but regardless, she had only sent a message and received such great honor, indirectly solving the predicament for his family.

Just as she was about to say something, Fu Yancheng interrupted quickly: "I’ve already brought the things, it wouldn't be right to take them back. Besides, there’s a lot to do today, let’s not waste time on this."

Chuxue was stunned: "What things?"

Fu Yancheng handed the net bags to Liu Mu: "Auntie, there are many supplements inside, which are perfect for Uncle. Please accept them."

Liu Mu was at a loss and turned to look at her daughter.

Chuxue wasn't the type to be indecisive: "Since he brought them, just accept them."

Seeing Chuxue relent, Fu Yancheng felt a surge of joy: "By the way, I specifically borrowed a big truck today, which can help you pull back the bricks for building the house."

Hearing this, Chuxue didn't know what to say for a moment.

Fu Yancheng saw her silence: "What’s wrong? Haven't you made arrangements?"

Chuxue waved her hand quickly: "I had already entrusted the village cadres. Since the village isn't too far from the brick factory, I was planning to go pull them as needed, so we wouldn't have to watch the site at night."

That consideration wasn't wrong. Her father’s leg wasn't healed yet, so they couldn't have the women go watch the site at night. If they didn't watch it, they were afraid everything would be stolen in one night.

Fu Yancheng hadn't thought of that level: "How long will it take to build the house once work starts?"

Liu Fu took over the conversation: "With four skilled workers, the walls can go up in five or six days. If it’s fully completed, it will probably take more than ten days, at most half a month to get it all tidied up."

Fu Yancheng looked at Chuxue: "I’ll help you pull all the bricks and tiles back today, which will save a lot of labor. I’ll also help you borrow two dogs, and you can let the dogs watch the site for you, so you don't need people to go over."

Before Chuxue could speak, Liu Mu refused resolutely: "We wouldn't dare. The dogs won't be familiar with us, and if they bite someone, that would be bad."

But Chuxue didn't rush to refuse. She thought Fu Yancheng was right. Although it wasn't too far, having people go pull bricks every day was a waste of time. It would be better to pull them all back at once. If it really didn't work, she could find someone in the village to help watch the site, and the house could be built as quickly as possible.
