Chapter 137: Jeep Arrives in the Village to Deliver a Puppy

As the sky began to darken, a jeep arrived in the village.

The people chatting under the locust tree at the village entrance suddenly forgot to speak, staring straight at the vehicle.

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?"

The village physician, Physician Hu, who was closest to the car, pointed toward the Liu family's direction: "Go straight along this road, turn left at the largest poplar tree ahead, and the largest courtyard in that row is Seeing Liu Chuxue's home."

That person thanked him, and the car continued driving forward.

As soon as the car left: "Is this person looking for Shanliang's second daughter?"

"Yes."

"A big truck came just this morning, and now a jeep has arrived; a girl like that is simply not well-behaved."

"Uncle Eryin, what you say makes no sense; Seeing Liu Chuxue has received commendations, and county leaders have called her an outstanding youth of the new generation. To label her as ill-behaved right off the bat is going too far."

This Uncle Eryin was no one else but the father of village accountant Liu Quanwen and the grandfather of Liu Shuqin; his hostility toward Seeing Liu Chuxue stemmed from his granddaughter.

The grandfather and granddaughter shared the same thought: they believed their family's conditions in the village were among the best, so why should Seeing Liu Chuxue surpass their granddaughter? Thus arose this scene of an elder taking advantage of his age to speak nonsense.

With the Shanliang family 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 certain this year, and Seeing Liu Chuxue naturally deserved credit for that; besides, this old man was clearly envious of her yet insisted on saying such disgusting things, truly making him look contemptible.

Someone stood up and followed behind the jeep: "I must go see what these people want with Seeing Liu Chuxue."

Once one person led the way, others could not hold back either.

By the time the car reached the main gate of the Liu family, quite a few people were following behind.

When the car door opened, the eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest branch, Qu Aihua, happened to come out; the man who got off the car asked: "Comrade, may I ask, is this Seeing Liu Chuxue's house?"

Because of the matter regarding her in-laws, where the second branch had swindled five hundred yuan from them, she now hated the people of the second branch and naturally showed no friendly face to those looking for Seeing Liu Chuxue: "No."

The man who asked the question froze directly, turned his head to look at the people following behind the car, pointed with his finger, and said: "Isn't this Seeing Liu Chuxue Comrade's home?"

Physician Hu, who had given directions earlier: "Yes, it is this house."

After speaking, he stepped forward a few paces and shouted inside: "Shanliang's family, are you home?"

Seeing Liu Chuxue's mother had just heard the commotion inside the room and was preparing to come out to check the situation; she quickly responded: "Yes, who is it?"

As she spoke, she arrived at the main gate: "Physician Hu, is something wrong?"

But just after asking, she saw the jeep parked not far away: "What is this?"

Physician Hu pointed to the person beside him: "This young man is looking for your Seeing Liu Chuxue."

Seeing Liu Chuxue's mother did not recognize the visitor: "Who are you?"

That young man smiled: "Auntie, I am Zheng Yihong; Brother Fu sent me over to deliver the puppy."

As he spoke, he took a small dog down from the back seat of the car and handed it over.

Seeing that they had driven here, Seeing Liu Chuxue's mother felt very troubled: "This is truly too much trouble for you, coming all this way specifically."

"Auntie, it's nothing; we happened to have business in the county anyway, so it was on the way."

This statement was indeed true.

However, Seeing Liu Chuxue's mother did not think so, believing they were just being polite: "It is already mealtime, and my meal will be ready soon; come inside, eat, and then leave."

"No, Auntie, we still have to rush to the county; people are waiting for us there."
