Chapter 1478: They Say When Luck Comes, You Can't Stop It
The next morning, Tao Saozi came over to visit.
As soon as she entered, she spoke mysteriously: "Did you hear? The couple who came to cause trouble yesterday was taken away by the police station."
Hearing this, Chuxue stopped her needlework: "What happened?"
Tao Saozi leaned close to Chuxue and whispered: "I heard someone found their home, gave them money, and told them to come cause trouble."
Hearing this, Chuxue's first reaction was: This feels just like when Guo's instructor's sister-in-law, Wang Sangyu's former mother-in-law, came to cause trouble; both were deliberately stirred up by someone behind the scenes. Could the mastermind be the same person?
However, Chuxue did not say this directly.
Still, she kept the matter in mind, thinking that when Fu Yan Cheng returned, she would tell him her guess, just in case it really was the work of someone with ill intent.
Over the next few days, Chuxue first used the sewing machine to stitch the quilts and covers for the babies, and also learned from Tao Saozi how to make tiger-head shoes for children.
That day, Fu Yan Cheng remembered the time and went to pick up the cotton batting.
Tao Saozi happened to see him, called over Tang Saozi to help, and in one day they finished making two sets of quilts for each of the three babies.
Of course, Chuxue did not let them help for nothing; she gave each family two jin of red dates: "Take these red dates back, sisters. Put a few in your porridge to nourish your family's qi and blood."
The two sisters-in-law naturally tried to refuse, but Chuxue insisted repeatedly: "If you hadn't helped, I might have struggled for several days and still not finished. The date trees behind my natal home's house produced a lot this year, and I dried quite a few. It's a small token of my gratitude. If you don't accept it, how will I ever have the courage to ask for your help again in the future?"
Seeing that she had spoken to this extent, they could no longer refuse, and happily took the items and left.
People must have give and take for things to go well.
That day, Fu Yan Cheng returned: "Wife, Xiao Wan called."
Hearing this, Chuxue immediately understood what it was about: "How did it go? Did he pass?"
Fu Yan Cheng smiled: "He passed. Moreover, that guy was lucky; the clerical position in the office happened to be moving to another city with its previous holder's family."
Originally, the position had been sold; the person who came to take over held the diploma but lacked the ability—he simply could not handle the role. In anger, the leader chose someone from this group of newly hired individuals, and he was selected. The leader directly replaced the person who had bought the job with him.
The person who bought the job had been suffering terribly these past few days, getting scolded every day. Upon hearing they would swap, although that person was unwilling, he quickly completed the handover, letting Ren Jiangfeng that guy snatch an office position for free."
After listening, Chuxue's face was full of smiles: "They say when luck comes, you can't stop it. Now both of them have not only returned to the city, but their jobs are good too. Next, only applying for a house and holding the wedding banquet remain."
Fu Yan Cheng smiled: "Dad found an old comrade-in-arms; the housing matter should be resolved very soon. I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Mom will probably bring up the wedding plans soon."
Chuxue nodded lightly: "I actually hope we set the wedding date quickly; if we wait much longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to attend."
Fu Yan Cheng looked down at Chuxue's belly: "I will mention this to Mom."
Chuxue quickly waved her hands: "No, no, no, I was just joking. Please don't mention this to Mom."
Fu Yan Cheng knew what she was thinking: "Don't worry, I won't tell Mom directly. I'll just bring it up with an excuse then. It's not a big deal."
