Chapter 1446: Then I Will Take You Up on Your Auspicious Words

~4 min read 763 words

Inside the red walls, several leaders listened to the report from below, each wearing a look of joy on their face: "Can it be confirmed?"

That person smiled between his brows and eyes: "They have already arranged people to go search. If all goes smoothly, good news will arrive soon. Please, all leaders, wait for the good tidings."

The several leaders exchanged glances, one after another cheering: "If that place can truly be found, it would count as solving our immediate crisis."

"Yes, although we received an early warning this time and prepared in advance, so casualties were not too great, the entire city has basically been flattened; reconstruction requires a massive investment of funds."

"The weather is slowly getting colder. How is the resettlement work over there?"

"We have already organized manpower to build simple houses, striving to get everyone moved in before the New Year so they won't suffer from the cold."

"Regardless, we must still thank the person who gave the early warning; otherwise, the consequences are unthinkable. As long as people are still here, nothing else matters. As long as everyone works together, there is no obstacle we cannot cross."

The military unit also organized donations of money and goods; every household was very enthusiastic, but later a notice came stating that the disaster area would only accept material donations, not monetary ones.

After holding a meeting overnight, they used various connections to convert everyone's donated money into supplies and sent them to the disaster area.

Liu Chuxue, a person from a future era, naturally responded even more actively.

By the time this matter concluded, several days had already passed.

That day, she received a phone call from Xia Qiu: "Liu Chuxue, your brother-in-law has already started work at the new workshop, and the master responsible for training him is a very good person. This matter is all thanks to you."

"That's good. Tell your brother-in-law to work hard. With his talent in electrical work, plus his own interest in it, he might even achieve great things in the future."

"Then I will take you up on your auspicious words. However, I am already very satisfied with life as it is now. Sister, I truly thank you very much."

Remembering something, she quickly added: "By the way, I made a few sets of small clothes for the baby in your belly these past few days. Later, I will wash them, dry them, and wrap them up. When you come to the city, remember to tell me in advance so I can bring them back for you."

"Then I will thank Auntie on behalf of the babies. I haven't been idle these past few days either; I learned to sew quilts from the sisters-in-law in the family compound. I have already finished three sets, and I also made small pillows for them."

The two sisters chatted briefly before hanging up the phone.

As she hung up the phone and walked back, she happened to meet Tang Xinrui: "Sister-in-law, where are you going?"

Tang Xinrui smiled at Liu Chuxue: "Today is my son's birthday. Isn't it that I want to go check the service station to see if there is any meat, so I can make dumplings for him? Where are you going?"

Liu Chuxue smiled: "I just came back from taking my sister's phone call."

The two exchanged pleasantries: "Sister-in-law, you go quickly; meat doesn't wait for people."

After the two parted, Liu Chuxue walked toward her home.

When she was nearly at her own door, she heard Cui Pozi cursing quietly inside her own courtyard: "Pah! Neither of the couple is any good. They are clearly so wealthy, yet they are still so stingy. Every day the scent wafts through the courtyard, yet they don't say a word about sharing a bit with my good grandson. Let's see what kind of thing you can give birth to. Old woman here curses them all to have no anus."

She could let other things go without holding a grudge, but when it came to the baby in her belly, Liu Chuxue could not tolerate even a bit. She released her spiritual power, lifted her foot, and kicked a small-to-medium stone on the ground with force. The closed gate of the Cui family was directly knocked over by the stone and fell to the ground.

Terrified, Cui Pozi, who was still cursing in the courtyard, let out an "Aaaah!" and screamed.

Her hand lost its stability, and all the sorted soybeans she had picked in the basin were scattered onto the ground.
