Chapter 276: As Long As Their Days Are Thrown Into Chaos, She Is Happy

Zhui Feng tilted his little head and looked at her with an adorable gaze: "That little expression of yours is really hard to take."

She reached out and patted the dog's head: "Let's go."

This made Zhui Feng happy; he trotted cheerfully, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, sometimes ahead, sometimes behind. When he ran ahead, he would stop and wait up front until he caught up with Liu Chuxue. When something caught his attention and he realized he had wandered too far from her, he would speed up and dash back.

When he reached Liu Chuxue's side, he would not forget to let out two "woof woofs" to remind her.

He really was very amusing.

Not far after leaving the village, she spotted Xue Meijuan waiting at the road junction: "How long have you been waiting?"

Xue Meijuan smiled and looped her arm through Liu Chuxue's: "I just got here too."

Thinking of something, she leaned close to Liu Chuxue's ear and whispered: "I heard the Ge family is going to look for your eldest uncle and the others today."

Hearing this, Liu Chuxue wasn't surprised. Even though they had extorted compensation before, this time Ge Baocheng had been beaten up in prison, and she knew very well how precious Ge Baocheng was to the Ge family, so naturally they wouldn't swallow this grievance easily.

This was precisely why she hadn't sent Ge Xiulan to the police station.

They couldn't let people say the second branch was heartless about blood ties. Although they really had no blood relation, outsiders didn't know that, so even if it was just for show, they had to put on the act.

Liu Chuxue feigned surprise: "It's already been several days, why are they only thinking of going to make trouble now?"

"Well, they just brought him back. I heard two of his ribs were broken, and his left leg was also fractured by the beating. The prison side already helped set them, but the family has to cover that cost. Although Ge Baocheng is the victim, the whole thing started because his mouth was being cheap, so the family has to shoulder half of it.

I heard Ge family's eldest sister-in-law say that just the trip to pick him up cost over a hundred and sixty yuan. Given how much the Ge family dotes on Ge Baocheng, who knows how much more they'll have to spend while he stays home recovering."

Liu Chuxue understood now. The Ge family going to Willow Village today was surely the doing of the Ge family's eldest grandson's wife. She was rather looking forward to it.

Though this dog-eat-dog routine was cliché, as long as their days were thrown into utter chaos, she was happy.

After all, in her previous life, their evil had destroyed the entire second branch family.

Seeing Liu Chuxue didn't pick up her thread, Xue Meijuan steered the conversation elsewhere: "Chuxue, after today's exam, we'll only need to come back to school one more time to pick up our diplomas. Have you figured out what you want to do?"

Liu Chuxue shook her head: "Haven't thought about it yet. But a few days ago our branch secretary did mention that the village primary school was looking to hire teachers. But you know, lots of people have their eyes on that position, so it's not certain it'll be my turn."

She knew this couldn't be kept secret; even if she didn't say it, in a few days it would get out. After all, children from the four surrounding villages all attend Willow Village Primary School. The village school's principal had originally arranged with the central school to recruit only from Willow Village, so he could earn some goodwill.

But things didn't go as planned. Cadres from the other villages all went to the township and the central school, and the final result was that men and women from the four surrounding villages plus Willow Village who met the requirements could all sign up.

Xue Meijuan looked up at her: "That's a good thing. If you really can get into the village school, it's actually not bad."

Liu Chuxue thought so too. After all, city jobs were one carrot one hole, with so many city kids unable to find work, even with foreknowledge she'd probably have to put in quite some effort.

Chatting as they went, they arrived at the school. During this time Zhui Feng was hardly idle, seizing every chance to make his presence felt.

Seeing they had arrived, he no longer ran ahead but sat at the school gate and let out two "woof woofs" toward the front.

Xue Meijuan smiled at him: "Your dog here is really smart."
