Chapter 154: Overheard a conspiracy

After Mother Liu finished speaking, she also pointed at Fu Yan Cheng: "Comrade Fu happens to be going back to the city, so he can give you a ride."

This was what Chuxue had said earlier—after finishing the business, Fu Yan Cheng wouldn't have to return, but could go straight back to the city.

When Liu Cunyi heard he could sit in the majestic car again, his expression was truly something to behold: "Fine, when are we leaving?"

Chuxue patted the dust off her clothes: "I’ll go back to get the reimbursement vouchers. You wait for me at the village entrance."

After saying this, she instructed Father and Mother Liu: "Before I return, don't go back to the old house."

Father Liu knew his daughter’s worry and also knew that if something really happened, he couldn't protect his wife: "Don't worry. We’ll wait for you to come back and pick us up, and then we’ll go back to the old house together."

Mother Liu also nodded.

Seeing they had listened, she exchanged a look with Fu Yan Cheng and then ran toward the old house.

Actually, the things were in the space, but she wanted to go back and see the situation at the old house.

Liu Shangang had been humiliated here, and she didn't know what kind of tricks the old house would pull. She wanted to go back and scout it out.

Unexpectedly, she really heard the conversation of the main branch: "You two are brothers who grew up together. Is the second brother really going to have no contact with you for the rest of his life? He really has no conscience, does he?"

Chuxue couldn't help but curl her lips. Listen to what you’re saying—a normal person wouldn't say such things.

She was about to enter the courtyard when she heard Ge Xiulan continue: "What should we do now? You know what my sister-in-law is like. She won't give up until she gets the money."

As she spoke, she treated Liu Shangang’s wound with a bit too much force.

Then there was a "slap": "Can you be a bit gentler, you bitch?"

Chuxue entered the courtyard, went around her room, collected all the important things, and then locked the door and walked out.

Just as she reached the entrance and was about to go to the village entrance, she heard Ge Xiulan say: "The windows in the second branch’s room have some problems. They weren't repaired when the third branch lived there. Since they are unkind, don't blame us for being unrighteous."

Chuxue naturally understood what this meant. She had been guarding against them for a long time.

However, if they really dared to do that, don't blame her for ruining their reputation even more.

After walking for a distance, she specifically went to the secretary’s house: "Secretary Grandpa, are you home?"

"Chuxue, why did you come over?"

"There’s something I want to ask for your help with."

"What is it? Tell me."

"It’s like this: at the new house, the main room is ready to be tiled, but as farmers, we inevitably have to dry some grain in the autumn, so we want to use coal ash to roof the two side rooms and the south room."

"But before, we didn't know about the separation and severance, and we didn't think about building a house, so we didn't prepare at all. These four side rooms and two south rooms will probably need a lot of coal ash. I have to trouble the secretary to tell everyone and see who has some saved up that they can share with us first."

"We can pay it back later, or just pay for it directly."

"That’s not a difficult matter. I’ll go out and ask for you later."

"Then thank you so much. I’ll buy you some wine to drink later."

The secretary had no other hobbies except for drinking a little: "Fine, then Third Grandpa will wait."

He wasn't even five generations removed from Chuxue’s grandfather, Liu Dazhu, so it was acceptable for him to drink the wine offered by his granddaughter. Actually, Chuxue and the others should call him "Third Grandpa," but most people in the village were surnamed Liu, and there were many "Third Grandpas" in the village. To distinguish them, the younger generation called him "Secretary Grandpa."
