Chapter 235: Heard Your Fourth Found a Country Girl as a Partner

Liu Chuxue feared her brother-in-law would risk entering the deep mountains for a few wild apricots, so she quickly spoke up: "Brother-in-law, I discovered a small wild apricot tree before. That place is very hidden and not easy for others to find. I will make another trip in a few days; I guarantee my sister will have food."

Qiu Shaofeng was happy but also worried about his sister-in-law's safety: "Is it dangerous? How about you show me roughly where it is, and I will go pick them."

Liu Chuxue waved her hand and said: "Rest assured, you know my strength. The apricots on that small tree are still too astringent; they will be edible in a few days. I will pick them and bring them over then."

At this moment, Qiu Mu also walked over: "Chuxue, stay and have a meal before you leave."

"Auntie, no. The house-warming is scheduled for the sixth of the month, and there are many things to do at home. I just came to deliver a message and bring some snacks for my sister."

Seeing that the women of the Qiu family were all in the courtyard, Liu Chuxue said: "Everyone, please come over when you have time."

Zhang Shanmei, that troublemaker, popped up again: "In-law sister, you are not being honest. I am heavily pregnant, so I definitely cannot go. If you sincerely invite us, why not..."

Before she could finish speaking, Qiu's Great-Grandmother glared at her: "Why are you everywhere?"

After speaking, she looked at Liu Chuxue: "She is just a fool. Chuxue, do not pay attention to her."

Liu Chuxue nodded in response: "Every time she comes, she puts on a show. I am indeed used to it. Rest assured, Great-Grandmother, I will not take it to heart."

Upon hearing this, the eldest uncle's wife of the Qiu family looked very ugly; it was truly too embarrassing.

Zhang Shanmei wanted to say something else, but Liu Chuxue said: "I have other matters, so I will leave first."

She did not want to stay and listen to Zhang Shanmei spew her foul language.

Capital City

Jiang Huiwen looked at her subordinate, whose face was bruised and swollen from the beating: "You really have made something of yourself. Not only did someone use dirty tricks on you, but you also got beaten into this state."

Thinking of her upcoming plans, she was too lazy to nag further. Since things had changed, her plans must change accordingly: "Find a way to have someone spread the news of **** to the Fu family. I do not believe the Fu family would let their son marry a daughter-in-law with a rural household registration."

After the man nodded and responded, he turned and left.

This matter could not be handled by a big man like him, especially one in such a state, so he paid a woman to do it for him while he supervised from a distance the whole time.

That woman, having taken the money, naturally worked very hard.

Living in the same courtyard, naturally some people wanted to see the Fu family make a fool of themselves. Sure enough, a gossip-monger ran to the Fu family and saw the Fu family's eldest daughter-in-law in the courtyard: "Wenjing, is your mother-in-law at home?"

Guo Wenjing looked at Xu Dazui in the courtyard: "Auntie Xu, my mother is in the room. Why do you have time to come over today?"

She thought to herself: If she is not gossiping at the small square outside, coming to our home can only mean bad news.

Fu Mu heard the voices outside and walked out: "Sister Xu is here. Come in quickly and sit."

Although Fu Mu did not like Xu Dazui talking about this family and that family every day, this person had no bad intentions: "Sister Xu, is there something you came for today?"

Xu Dazui looked outside: "Ruzhi, I heard your fourth son found a country girl as a partner. Is it true or false?"

These words completely stunned Fu Mu and the Fu family's eldest daughter-in-law. Both said in unison: "Who did you hear this from?"

Seeing the expression on the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Xu Dazui knew they did not know about this yet, which made her perk up: "Oh my, so you didn't know. It has spread all over the courtyard. I only came to ask about the situation because I see the good relationship between our two families."

You say everyone's ration is so limited. If your Yan Cheng brings back a daughter-in-law with a rural household registration, the children will register under the mother's name now. In the future, can they all eat priced grain? How will your family live then?"
