Chapter 131: Harboring Selfish Motives

After thinking it through, Chuxue looked up at Fu Yancheng: "Forget about borrowing the dogs. I’m also afraid that big dogs aren't easy to tame, and if they really bite someone, it won't be good. I’ll see who in the village has puppies later and get one. If there’s any movement at night, it can alert whoever is watching the site."

Fu Yancheng saw her say this: "Then we’ll do as you say. But you don't need to look for puppies; I’ll have someone send you one."

The retired military dog adopted by Kong Yizhang’s cousin had just had a litter, and they were already a month old. He thought he would go to the commune to make a phone call when he went to the brick factory to pull bricks later.

Chuxue felt a bit embarrassed and was about to refuse when she heard Fu Yancheng say: "Don't rush to refuse. The puppy I’m talking about is the descendant of a military dog. I’ll help you train it later, and it will definitely be fine for guarding the house."

He was harboring selfish motives; this way, he would have another opportunity to come over.

Since he had put it that way, she really couldn't refuse again: "Then thank you."

Fu Yancheng saw it was getting late. He had seen the budget paper Chuxue had taken before and knew how many bricks were needed: "Then I’ll go pull the bricks."

Chuxue spoke up quickly: "I’ll go with you."

Although Fu Yancheng wanted to be alone with Chuxue, a brick factory wasn't a suitable place for a girl: "The brick factory is full of dust, you’d better stay home and busy yourself with other things."

How could Chuxue listen? She already owed enough favors; how could she let him go alone? After all, they had to load the truck and pay: "Wait for me a moment."

She turned and went into the house to get a patched crossbody bag: "Let’s go, I’ll go pay."

After all, it wasn't a small amount of money; it wouldn't be right to let him pay for it. Besides, who would carry that much money when going out?

Fu Yancheng saw her persistence and didn't say anything more. Actually, he really had prepared the money, but he couldn't ask for more than being able to spend time alone with her. At worst, he could just let her stay in the truck when they arrived.

Fu Yancheng greeted Liu Fu and Liu Mu and walked outside, but Chuxue was pulled back by Liu Mu: "Xue, go call Cunyi from Uncle Liangzi’s family to go with you."

At first, Chuxue didn't react, but seeing her mother holding her and not letting go, she remembered that in this day and age, if she went out alone with Fu Yancheng, rumors would probably be flying everywhere before she even returned: "I know."

Just as she finished speaking, she happened to hear Liu Cunyi’s voice: "Auntie, I’m here to pull cement, preparing to pour the foundation."

Liu Mu saw the person pushing the cart: "Cunyi, I’ll go deliver the cement later. You go to the brick factory with Chuxue."

Liu Cunyi smiled: "Auntie, you don't need to run. I’ll come over after I deliver the cement; it won't take long."

Liu Mu stopped him: "The truck is still waiting there, it’s not good to keep people waiting too long. Besides, I need to go tell your father where to put the bricks when they are pulled back."

Liu Cunyi looked at the Jiefang truck outside, his face full of excitement: "Auntie, are you saying this big Jiefang truck is going to pull bricks?"

Liu Mu nodded: "Yes."

Liu Cunyi was delighted, almost jumping three feet high: "Alright, I’ll go with you."

He had grown up and never sat in such a big truck; his excitement was impossible to hide.

As soon as they left, the villagers gathered together again: "I remember now, that man, yes, that’s right."

"Remember what? You said a bunch of things that amounted to nothing; didn't understand a thing."

"I’m saying that man who drove the truck, he was among the people who came to deliver the commendation to Chuxue that day."

"You know, it really seems like it."

"Why did this person come again, and even help the Shanliang family with such a big favor?"

"Don't know, should we go ask?"

"Let’s go, let’s go. If I don't find out, I’ll be itching with curiosity."
