Chapter 1430: The Second Daughter Hasn't Cared About Her Like This in a Long Time

Fu Yan Cheng and Liu Chuxue didn't stay long at the staff hospital; once they came out, the two of them walked together toward the office building.

Director Zheng had just come out of the meeting room when he spotted them: "Deputy Head Fu, Chuxue..."

He was about to ask, 'What brings you here?' when he suddenly thought of what had happened before: "Come, come, come, sit in my office."

Once in the office, Liu Chuxue naturally thanked Director Zheng first.

Seeing his wife finish speaking, Fu Yan Cheng went straight ahead and told Director Zheng about the morning's incident: "I think those people probably didn't realize what they did wrong, otherwise they wouldn't have let their family members go over to morally blackmail the victim."

Director Zheng hadn't expected those families to be so foolish, and he understood they were here to demand justice: "I can understand their concerns, but this really was their oversight.

Since they can't keep their family members in line, they have to bear the consequences. I'll discuss it with the factory leadership in a bit."

Seeing their purpose achieved, they didn't linger.

Director Zheng stood up and walked out of the office with them, then had his secretary call over the deputy directors.

This time there was no broadcast; after they discussed it, they had the secretary go directly to the workshop to notify them.

Those people learned that, because they hadn't restrained their family members, they themselves would be additionally punished by sweeping the public restrooms for three days after work, with logistics staff assigned to supervise.

The logistics clerk who received the assignment knew he'd have to work overtime — what good mood could he possibly have?

With his foul mood, naturally those three people didn't get off easy either.

In the hospital room. After consulting the doctor, Qiu Shaofeng looked at Xia Qiu: "Wife, I'm thinking we'll stay on an IV for one more day, then check out. When the time comes, let's have the doctor prescribe two more days — five days of IVs should be about enough."

Xia Qiu also knew that too much of a good thing was no good: "Mm, Chuxue said the same thing when she left."

The husband and wife exchanged a glance, both understanding what was on each other's minds. Xia Qiu laughed: "Debts don't crush you when there are many of them — we'll pay them back slowly in time."

Meanwhile, Liu Chuxue and Fu Yan Cheng had returned to the Xiao family home at this point: "Mom, where's Chunxiao? Isn't today a school holiday?"

Xiao Mu looked at the grandson in her arms and the son sleeping soundly on the bed: "She said there's a performance today."

Mentioning this, Liu Chuxue also recalled what Chunxiao had said before: "Once today's performance is over, can the costume be returned?"

Xiao Mu really didn't know about this: "I'm not too clear on that. I'll ask her when she gets back."

Fu Yan Cheng picked up the thread: "It's been borrowed for quite a while now, it really should be returned."

Liu Chuxue reached out wanting to hold her nephew, but the moment she extended her hand, Xiao Mu stopped her: "You've got a big belly now, you can't hold him anymore. This little one's not well-behaved — what if he kicks your belly?"

On second thought, that was true. Liu Chuxue turned and took a pack of biscuits from the net bag Fu Yan Cheng was carrying: "Junjun, call me auntie, and I'll give you biscuits."

Xiao Mu laughed: "He's still so little, he can't call anyone yet."

It was rare for her to be back, so Liu Chuxue had no plans to leave at noon.

After all, Xiao Mu was watching two children by herself and still had to cook for them — she really was a bit overwhelmed.

When the two of them came, they had gone to the supply cooperative and the non-staple food store to buy some ingredients.

Seeing them chatting, Fu Yan Cheng said: "Mom, wife, you two talk — I'll go to the kitchen and cook. Later I'll take the meal to the hospital."

Xiao Mu had originally wanted to go herself, but Liu Chuxue stopped her: "Let him cook. You take a rest today."

It was just a perfectly ordinary remark, yet somehow Xiao Mu's eyes reddened: her second daughter hadn't cared about her like this in a long time.
