Chapter 134: A Jeep came to the village to deliver a dog
At dusk, a Jeep came to the village.
The people chatting under the locust tree at the entrance of the village stopped talking for a moment and just stared straight at the car.
The Jeep stopped, and the person in the passenger seat rolled down the window: "Fellow villager, may I ask how to get to Liu Chuxue’s house?"
Dr. Hu, the village doctor who was closest to the car, pointed in the direction of the Liu family: "Follow this road straight ahead, turn left at the biggest poplar tree in front, and that row of the largest courtyards is Chuxue’s house."
The man thanked him, and the car continued to drive forward.
As soon as the car left: "Is this person looking for the second daughter of the Shanliang family?"
"Yes."
"A big truck came this morning, and now a Jeep is here. A young girl, not settling down at all."
"Uncle Eryin, what you’re saying makes no sense. Chuxue girl has been commended, and the county leaders even said she is an outstanding youth of the new generation. You’re labeling her as 'not settling down' as soon as you open your mouth; that’s going too far."
This Uncle Eryin wasn't anyone else; he was the father of the village accountant Liu Quanwen and the grandfather of Liu Shuqin. His hostility toward Chuxue was also because of his granddaughter.
The grandfather and granddaughter had the same thoughts; they both felt that their family was among the best in the village, so why should Liu Chuxue be above his granddaughter? Thus, this scene of relying on his age to sell his age and talking nonsense occurred.
Seeing that the Liu Shanliang family was about to rise, only a fool would agree with this old man’s words; wouldn't that be offending people?
The village head had already said that their advanced brigade was guaranteed this year, and Chuxue naturally had a hand in that. Besides, this old man was clearly envious of others but insisted on saying those disgusting things, which was truly contemptible.
Someone got up and followed the Jeep: "I have to go see what these people are looking for Chuxue for."
With one person leading, others couldn't sit still either.
By the time the car reached the Liu family’s gate, there were quite a few people following behind.
When the car door opened, Qu Aihua, the eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest branch, happened to come out. The man who got out of the car asked: "Comrade, may I ask if this is Liu Chuxue’s house?"
Because of her parents-in-law’s affairs, the second branch had extorted five hundred yuan from them, so she now hated the second branch and naturally didn't have a good face for people looking for Chuxue: "No."
The man who asked was stunned and turned to look at the people following the car, pointing: "Isn't this Comrade Liu Chuxue’s house?"
Dr. Hu, who had pointed the way earlier: "Yes, this is the house."
After saying this, he stepped forward a few steps and shouted inside: "Shanliang’s family, are you home?"
Liu Mu had also heard the commotion in the room and was just about to come out to see the situation, so she responded quickly: "Yes, who is it?"
As she spoke, she reached the gate: "Dr. Hu, is something the matter?"
Just after asking, she saw the Jeep parked not far away: "This is?"
Dr. Hu pointed to the person beside him: "This young man is looking for your Chuxue."
Liu Mu didn't recognize the visitor: "Who are you?"
The young man smiled: "Auntie, I’m Zheng Yihong. Brother Fu asked me to come and deliver a puppy."
As he spoke, he took a puppy from the back seat of the car and handed it over.
Seeing that they came by car, Liu Mu felt very embarrassed: "It’s really too much trouble for you, coming all this way."
"Auntie, it’s nothing. We happened to have business in the county, so it was on the way."
That was true.
However, Liu Mu didn't think so; she felt they were just being polite: "It’s mealtime, my food will be ready soon. Come into the house and have a meal before you go."
"No, Auntie, we still have to rush to the county. There are people waiting for us there."
