Chapter 219: It's Not a Big Matter, Just Annoying

Liu Chuxue naturally did not recognize what kind of seeds these were; she simply sorted them and planted them in sections. By the end, three slightly larger, dark brown seeds remained, looking a bit withered. She had intended to throw them away, but seeing a small patch of land left by the field's edge, she dug three small holes and, seeing they fit perfectly, simply planted them.

The vegetables planted earlier could be harvested and eaten a few days ago; when she cooked, she would occasionally sneak some out to mix in.

There were not many vegetables left in the private plot that could be eaten, so not many from the space could be brought out. She thought that after moving house and obtaining her high school diploma, she would go into the city again. Taking advantage of the fact that the countryside vegetables had not yet grown, she would sell off the vegetables she had accumulated in the space during this period; it was better than hoarding them in the warehouse.

After harvesting all the vegetables that could be gathered, she prepared to leave the space.

She thought the two people hiding in the shadows must be about to take action; she wanted to see what they intended to do.

After leaving the space, she first checked the situation in the courtyard. Except for the Third Branch's room, all other rooms had already extinguished their lights.

She was somewhat curious; why was the oil lamp still lit at this hour, given that Third Aunt was such a frugal person?

Speaking of which, this was also the reason she wanted to move to the new house as soon as possible.

Benefiting from the Northern Suburb Farm, the nearby villages received electricity a few years ago, but now there are no electricity meters; fees are charged based on the number of lamp sockets in each household. A few days ago, the Liu family actually tried to force the electrician to charge them money, wanting him to make them pay for the lamp sockets in their room as well. What a beautiful dream.

It was not a big matter, just annoying.

Extending her spiritual sense to look outside the main gate, she surprisingly saw that the two people had already moved to outside the Liu family's south room.

Liu Chuxue frowned slightly; it seemed they were indeed coming for the Liu family, but who in the family were they targeting?

She could not help but look toward the Third Branch's room and unconsciously spread her spiritual sense: "Xiao Man, tomorrow Mom will send you off at the vehicle. When you arrive, your Third Aunt will pick you up at the station. You don't need to be afraid. If not for the First Branch ruining the Liu family's reputation, Mom would not have resorted to this desperate measure."

"Mom, what if I don't like him?"

Su Hongjuan, who was sewing a new piece of clothing, finished the final stitch and bit the thread off with her teeth: "Not liking him is no problem; just tell your Third Aunt directly. At that time, ask your Third Aunt to find someone else for you. Come, try on this clothes."

Liu Xiaoman took the clothes: "Mom, I heard my Second Uncle is going to sell the house to Ding Zhiqing from the Educated Youth Compound."

"Who did you hear that from?"

"Today when I returned from the fields, I heard several educated youth talking about this matter."

Su Hongjuan could not help but frown: "The Second Branch is too unscrupulous. Even if they have cut ties with the family, they should have asked us first. If the house is sold to someone else, wouldn't anyone be able to enter this courtyard?"

After a long while, she reached out and woke the already sleeping Liu Shanling: "Stop sleeping quickly."

Liu Shanling, half-asleep, said: "What matter is so urgent that it must be said in the middle of the night? Can it not wait until tomorrow?"

Su Hongjuan said in a bad mood: "The house is about to be gone, and you can still sleep."

Liu Shanling, half-awake upon hearing his wife mention the house, woke up halfway: "What house? What do you mean?"

Seeing he was awake, Su Hongjuan said: "Just now Xiao Man said the Second Branch is going to sell the house to an educated youth."

"What? How dare they?"

Saying this, he tried to climb down from the kang: "No, this matter absolutely cannot happen. Letting an outsider move into the Liu family, wouldn't the villagers laugh us to death?"

As he spoke, he tried to get off the kang.

But Su Hongjuan held him back: "Don't you see what time it is? The Second Branch people are already asleep. If you go to their door now, will they give you a good face?"
