Chapter 153: I didn't expect it was him overthinking

~4 min read 726 words

After Liu Jianqiang roared, he didn't care about the expressions of the few people in the courtyard and walked straight out.

Old Man Liu saw his eldest grandson was leaving: "Qiangzi, where are you going?"

Liu Jianqiang said with anger: "To pick up my wife."

He had made up his mind. Whoever wanted to manage this matter could do it; he wouldn't get involved again.

Liu Ruxiang was also frightened by the scene today. She had never seen her family members fight like this since she was born. Holding her frightened son, she said: "Mom, Maidong is scared. I’ll take him back first."

But just as she finished speaking, she heard Liu Shangang say: "You’ve seen the situation at home. We can't gather the three hundred yuan to compensate your uncle’s family, and there’s no peace at home. See if you can borrow some money from your husband’s family."

Liu Ruxiang hadn't expected the fire to burn her: "Dad, the Zhang family hasn't separated, and my husband isn't the eldest son. He doesn't have much say in the Zhang family, so I’m afraid borrowing money won't work."

Ge Xiulan was furious when she heard this: "You haven't even tried, how do you know it won't work?"

Old Man Liu looked at his eldest granddaughter: "If there were any other way, we wouldn't give you a hard time. If it really doesn't work, ask Xiaoguang to borrow some from families he’s close with. We’ll pay it back when the family has money. Just ask him to help us turn it around."

Since her grandfather had spoken, Liu Ruxiang had to agree: "Grandpa, I know. I’ll tell Xiaoguang when I go back and ask him to think of a way. But I can't guarantee whether he can borrow it."

Ge Xiulan glared at her daughter: "Liu Ruxiang, can't you be more capable? The family is in difficulty now. As a son-in-law of the Liu family, shouldn't Zhang Xiaoguang lend a hand?"

"Mom, you’re also a daughter-in-law. Why don't you consider me?"

"My second uncle had such a big incident before, didn't Xiaqiu also not bring a cent home?"

"She’s been married for half a year and still hasn't had any movement in her belly. It’s no wonder her husband’s family doesn't value her. Why are you comparing yourself to her?"

"Besides, are the situations of the two families the same? You better think clearly. Only when your mother’s family is well can you be well. Only when your two brothers are well can you have a strong backbone."

"Xiaqiu doesn't even have a brother to stand up for her. It’s no wonder she doesn't dare to ask her husband’s family to borrow money."

When she said this, her face still carried mockery.

Fortunately, Chuxue didn't hear this, or she would have slapped her directly.

At the new house, Chuxue also just remembered that she hadn't gone to the construction site to get reimbursed.

She hadn't had a peaceful day since she came back these past few days, and she had actually forgotten about this.

Seeing it was still early: "Dad, since there’s nothing to do now, I’ll go to the reservoir construction site."

Mother Liu, who was on the side, slapped her thigh: "That’s right, I almost forgot about this. We should go, to avoid any complications if we wait too long."

If it weren't for the money from the rewards, she would have gone long ago.

Fu Yan Cheng saw she was going to handle business: "I’ll drive you. In case something happens, I can lend a hand."

Father Liu originally wanted to refuse, but Mother Liu spoke first: "That’s good. With Comrade Fu going with you, we can be at ease."

However, after she finished speaking, she beckoned to Liu Cunyi on the roof: "Cunyi, come down for a moment."

Liu Cunyi was like a monkey and slid down from the roof quickly: "Auntie, what’s the matter?"

Mother Liu pointed at Chuxue: "Accompany Chuxue to the reservoir construction site."

Fu Yan Cheng had thought he could spend some time alone with the little girl, but he didn't expect it was him overthinking.

However, he was also quite happy to accompany Chuxue. After all, he would have to go on a mission after returning today, and it might be a long time before he could come back.
