Chapter 147: She Really Has Been Given Too Much Face

Liu Chuxue still wanted to say something, but Ninth Uncle directly made the decision: "Just listen to your Ninth Aunt."

Liu Chuxue quickly spoke up: "Then it's settled, only for things before today. Those beds and cabinets that weren't delivered must be paid for, or what kind of person would I be?"

Ninth Aunt laughed: "Alright, alright, I'll listen to you."

After Liu Chuxue left, Ninth Aunt thought of something: "Husband, shouldn't we tell Shanliang and his wife about this? Chuxue is still a child after all."

Ninth Uncle Liu also felt it was somewhat thoughtless: "You're right. Tonight, the two of us will go over, and we can check on Shanliang while we're there."

After Ninth Aunt agreed: "I still have over a dozen eggs saved up. I'll take them along."

After Liu Chuxue left Ninth Uncle Liu's house, she hadn't walked a few steps before she ran into people from the County Gongan Bureau: "Comrade Liu, we were just on our way to your home to find you."

Hearing this, Liu Chuxue understood that the previous matter likely had a result: "Comrade, is there a result?"

One of the older Gongan officers said: "Yan Qingshuang from the Chen family has been sentenced to one year and six months. Ge Baocheng has been sentenced to one year and three months. They will be transferred to the prison in two days."

She had expected this result long ago; after all, the law was not yet perfect, and she had not suffered actual physical harm. As long as they were sentenced, her purpose was achieved: "Thank you so much. You even made a special trip. It's getting late; please stay for dinner before you go."

The older Gongan officer waved his hand: "No, no. We still need to inform your village cadres. In a while, we must go to Lizhuang. There are matters at the bureau; we must hurry back."

Liu Chuxue did not insist. She led them to the village committee office, then jogged back home: "Mom, do we have any oil paper?"

"What do you need oil paper for?"

"The Gongan officers came. Chen Weiping's mother and Ge Baocheng have been sentenced. I want to give those two officers some dry rations to tide them over, or else what time will they get back to the county?"

"Really? How long were they sentenced?"

"Mm, Yan Qingshuang for a year and a half, Ge Baocheng for one year and three months."

"By the way, Mom, after we eat, take Dad to the new room."

Upon hearing her daughter's words, Liu's mother understood: "Alright, I'll do as you say."

Since Ge Baocheng has been sentenced, the Ge family will surely come to cause a scene.

Thinking of how her daughter had almost been harmed by them, anger flashed across her face: "Just over a year? It's truly a bargain for them."

Then she thought that if Fu Yan Cheng had not saved Liu Chuxue, she didn't know how many idle rumors would have spread.

Even so, there were still people in the village saying all sorts of things. However, since Fu Yan Cheng was a soldier, they dared not go too far. Secondly, Liu Chuxue had been commended by the municipal Gongan Bureau and county leaders, so those idle words had not surfaced openly.

She had heard it yesterday while washing clothes in the river: they said Liu Chuxue had been broken off from her engagement and kidnapped; her reputation was ruined, and no one would want her in the future.

If it hadn't been for the fear of making a big scene that would truly affect her daughter's reputation, she would have beaten someone up.

Liu Chuxue saw her mother's expression was off: "Mom, are you hiding something from me?"

She quickly composed her emotions: "No. What could I possibly hide from you?"

"Your answer was too blunt. You are definitely hiding something from me."

Pressed continuously by Liu Chuxue, Liu's mother told her what she had heard by the riverside: "Just so you can be mentally prepared. Most villagers are kind, but there are inevitably some with loose tongues."

Liu Chuxue naturally understood: "Is it the accountant Peng's wife?"

Liu's mother nodded: "She is one of them."

Liu Chuxue's face darkened: "She really has been given too much face."
