Chapter 19: Just Make as Much of a Scene as Possible

She had simply waited until the village head organized the manpower, but Ge Xiulan still hadn't seen her nephew Ge Baocheng; she couldn't help but grow anxious: Could that brat have grown tired of waiting and gone up the mountain first?

All the way up the mountain, Ge Xiulan had been smearing Liu Chuxue's reputation: What a young miss who didn't return home all night; how they were just confused by the urgency of the second son's matter; how she was allowed to cross the mountain alone as a young miss; if something truly happened, how could they explain it to the second branch, and what if the future in-laws found out?

The village head simply couldn't listen anymore and roared: "Shan Gang's family, can you just shut up? Is this the time for this?"

Seeing that she had achieved the effect she wanted, Ge Xiulan also knew when to stop: "Yes, yes, yes, Village Head, you are right; finding people is the most important thing now."

The village head led the villagers he had gathered all the way up the mountain, but even after almost crossing the halfway point and seeing the Northern Suburb Farm below, they found nothing abnormal.

Now, not to mention the village head, even Ge Xiulan began to grow anxious.

All the way here, Ge Xiulan had been searching for her nephew's figure; if he didn't appear again, she didn't know how to smooth things over; it wouldn't do for her to lead people toward the cave.

By then, Liu Chuxue's reputation would be ruined, but thinking of pulling that person into their family as a niece-in-law would probably still require a great deal of effort.

While she was still trying hard to think of a way, the village had already turned upside down.

Old Lady Liu, bringing the third daughter-in-law and several grandchildren, blocked the second daughter-in-law who was going door-to-door borrowing money: "Zhao Lamei, you shameless thing, we've really given you face these years; you can't even produce a son, and now you dare to disobey your elders? Who allowed you to come out and make a scene?"

Before returning to the village, Chuxue had already instructed Mother Liu: just go ahead and make a scene regardless of anything; today's task was to borrow money and split the household; if possible, cutting off ties would be good too; just make as much of a scene as possible.

Since there was rarely such a spectacle to watch, the villagers in the village were no longer in a hurry to go to work and all gathered around to watch the Liu family's joke.

On the other side, Chuxue and Xia Qiu had spent a lot of words before finding the construction site person in charge to explain their purpose: "Leaders, I know what you say is the truth, but my father did have an accident at the construction site; we can understand your difficulties, but my father's leg truly cannot be delayed any longer."

"I believe the leaders know my family's situation; please extend a helping hand to help my father; we will certainly remember your great kindness in our hearts."

The several leaders felt somewhat troubled, but the young girl was not wrong: "How do you want us to help?"

Hearing there was a chance, Liu Chuxue quickly spoke up: "The health center suggested my father go to a higher-level hospital to treat his leg injury; the leaders should have received the news as well."

The several persons in charge glanced at each other and nodded to the Chuxue sisters.

Liu Chuxue continued: "Yesterday I also went to the county hospital and asked acquaintances to help inquire; after reviewing the medical records, the doctors suggested we go directly to a big hospital in the city for treatment, but my grandparents said the family is in financial difficulty and probably can't afford too much money; to save my father, we can only think of a way ourselves."

"I know the construction site has its rules and regulations, but right now we really have no better way; please, leaders, be flexible and see if you can advance us a portion of the money at once so we can take my father to the big hospital in the city to register for hospitalization."

"As for the expenses incurred during the subsequent treatment period, we will think of a way; after the money advanced by the construction site is used up, we will bring the receipts to clear the account; do you think that is acceptable?"

Hearing Liu Chuxue's words, the several leaders gathered together to discuss: "This girl is not simple; she really is a young calf unafraid of tigers."
