Chapter 182: Making the Relationship Public

Liu's mother brought people back to the old house to move an old table over.

Many villagers who came to watch the spectacle followed along: "Ho, Shanliang, your house is built well, and the windows are the largest in our village. Are you installing glass in all of them?"

Liu's father's face was full of smiles: "My Chuxue said larger windows make it brighter."

"That glass must cost quite a bit, right?"

The person asking wore a face full of envy.

Liu's father looked at his second daughter not far away, his face full of pride: "I'm not too clear on that; it was all arranged by my Chuxue."

Didn't you always laugh at me for having no son?

I'll show you: I may have no son, but my daughter is capable, and you can't help but envy her to death.

Seeing Fu Yan Cheng busy back and forth, someone approached: "Shanliang, is that man Chuxue's partner?"

This left Liu's father at a loss.

Just as he didn't know how to reply, he saw Fu Yan Cheng smiling at the questioner: "Uncle, my name is Fu Yan Cheng, and I am Chuxue's partner."

Although Liu's father liked Fu Yan Cheng, Chuxue hadn't mentioned this to them, so he was momentarily unable to accept it.

Fu Yan Cheng had come this time specifically to find an opportunity to make their relationship public; after all, only then would he have fewer reservations and could come over whenever he had leave.

Of course, the main reason was that making the relationship public would make those who had spoken ill of Chuxue slap their own faces, so they wouldn't dare say those disgusting things again.

Chuxue was not a shy person; besides, being able to date someone as excellent as Fu Yan Cheng, what was there for her to be afraid to say out loud?

Let those who said she was jilted, had entanglements with a strange man on the mountain, and could only marry a divorced man or a fallen family take a good look.

She walked over to Liu's father with a smile and said in a voice only the two of them could hear: "We confirmed our relationship last time. I thought we should wait until it was more stable before telling you. I'll explain in detail when we get back tonight."

Liu's father also knew this wasn't the time to ask for details: "Your ideas are getting bigger and bigger."

After speaking, he looked up at the villager who had asked earlier: "These two children just confirmed their relationship and haven't had time to tell everyone yet."

Now everyone lost their composure, because most of the villagers recognized this male comrade as the officer the unit had sent to deliver the commendation that day.

In an instant, there were voices of congratulations, envy, and jealousy—every kind of sound.

Although everyone was discussing in low voices, Chuxue's hearing was so good she heard every word clearly.

She always repaid kindness with kindness and resentment with resentment; those with kind hearts would naturally remember it in their hearts, while those who spoke harshly would have no further dealings with her in the future.

Chuxue moved quickly; after calculating how many panes of glass were needed, Fu Yan Cheng began cutting the glass.

Some onlookers villagers stepped forward to help, and Chuxue did not refuse: "Thank you very much. When my family holds the house-warming banquet later, everyone must come."

Most villagers were still simple and honest; they all smiled and replied: "We will definitely come."

Naturally, there was no shortage of flattery directed at Liu's father: "Shanliang, your three daughters are each and every one beautiful, and these two sons-in-law are not bad either. Your eldest son-in-law has helped you a lot these past few days, and your second son-in-law is even more capable; you just wait and enjoy your fortune."

"Exactly, your house is the first of its kind in our village; who doesn't envy it?"

What happened here quickly spread to the old house.

Ge Xiulan was in the kitchen, smashing utensils with a clatter, muttering under her breath: "So what if they live in a house with green bricks and tiled roofs? They're still a family with no heir. I'll see how long you can keep laughing!"
