Chapter 241: Those Who Were Waiting to See Them Make a Fool of Themselves Before, Aren't They Getting Slapped in the Face Now?

Recalling what her mother-in-law had said earlier, she spoke: "The chicken you took that day, I truly felt too embarrassed to eat alone, so I gave it to Great-Grandma to stew for everyone to nourish themselves. After the meal, I and my mother-in-law washed dishes in the kitchen; she said that once the family divides in the future, we can simply keep our own things."

Liu Chuxue heard this and laughed too: "Your mother-in-law seems open-minded at a glance. If the Miss your younger brother-in-law is eyeing turns out to be good, sister, your days ahead will surely be smooth."

Xia Qiu's eyes sparkled with light: "Xue, let me tell you, the Miss my younger brother-in-law has engaged has a particularly good temper. We worked together before, and most importantly, her family's reputation on the farm is excellent, so there won't be those messy troubles when we get along in the future."

As the two sisters were talking, they saw the secretary's little grandson run in: "Uncle Soldier, someone is looking for you outside."

Fu Yan Cheng patted the child's head and, smiling, followed him out of the courtyard gate.

Before long, Fu Yan Cheng was seen walking in carrying a large piece of premium pork belly.

Liu Chuxue heard people outside murmuring: "Whoa, that's premium pork belly; it must weigh around ten jin, right?"

"I just heard the person delivering the meat say it was thirteen jin and a bit more. Tomorrow's housewarming banquet won't be lacking; it's almost as grand as the feast for the secretary's son's wedding."

"The Liu Shanliang couple has truly turned their fortunes around. The eldest son-in-law went straight to help with work upon arriving, and Chuxue's partner is even more capable, managing to get thirteen jin of meat in one go—truly a grand gesture."

"Those who were waiting to see them make a fool of themselves before, aren't they getting slapped in the face now?"

Someone replied in a low voice: "Ever since the Liu Shanliang family split from the old house, their life has grown increasingly prosperous; the rest of the Liu family must be regretting it to death."

"That family truly has no character. You probably don't know, but they actually took back the house allocated to Liu Shanliang, saying that since they cut ties, it's inappropriate for them to keep occupying the house."

"They probably wanted to manipulate the second son and the others, but the latter agreed readily."

Of course, some spoke up for the people in the Liu family's old house: "People often say poverty shortens ambition; given how hard their life is now, it's understandable."

"True, who would have thought that in such a short time, the Liu family would have completely divided the household."

"I heard Dongzi and his wife also split from Shan Gang?"

"That's no one else's fault; it's the sin their parents created. If they had been honest and decent people, how could they have ended up here?"

Just as they were discussing enthusiastically, they unexpectedly heard Qu Aihua's voice: "Uncles and elders, busy?"

Once they saw who it was, each felt extremely awkward, casually replied with a sound, and quickly found tasks to busy themselves with.

Liu Chuxue happened to come out and witnessed this scene.

Qu Aihua saw Liu Chuxue and smiled at her: "Chuxue, I heard there's a housewarming banquet tomorrow; I came to see if there's anything I can help with."

At this moment, Liu's mother also walked over: "Aihua is here, come in and sit."

People often say one doesn't strike a smiling face; although they had cut ties with the Liu family, since Qu Aihua married into the Liu family, she never bullied their second branch, so it was hard to put on a cold face toward her.

Liu's mother looked at her belly: "Aihua, you'll be due in about two months, right?"

Qu Aihua touched her belly, her face full of tenderness: "Yes, around the end of the seventh lunar month."

After speaking, she looked at the newly built house: "Elders often say that treading on the birthplace makes delivery smoother; secondly, I wanted to come and share in your joy. Second Aunt, I shouldn't comment on the matters between you and my in-laws, but since we had no grievances before, can we just move around as ordinary villagers?"
