Chapter 331: Relations Cut, Don't Go Looking for Trouble

Xia Qiu was also worried about her own father's legs: "Mom, in a few days when my pregnancy stabilizes, I'll go home and stay for a few more days. Although my father's legs can now do without crutches, he still needs to take it easy. It's just right for Fu Yan Cheng to take you back, and I can rest assured."

When they left, Qiu Shaocheng and the newly arrived An Xiaojing also came out to see them off.

An Xiaojing specially took out a small packet of candy and a piece of red cloth and handed them to Xia Qiu: "Sister-in-law, this is a thank-you gift for Comrade Fu."

Xia Qiu passed it along, smiling as she stepped forward a few paces and gave it to Fu Yan Cheng standing beside Liu Chuxue: "This is a small token from Shaocheng and Xiaojing. You keep it."

An Xiaojing said somewhat shyly: "There isn't much, please don't dislike it, Comrade Fu."

Fu Yan Cheng originally didn't want to take it, but then he heard Liu Chuxue whisper: "This is a custom; just take it."

Fu Yan Cheng nodded to Qiu Shaocheng and An Xiaojing and reached out to take it.

At this time, Qiu Mu also walked out carrying a package: "In-laws, this is two portions of red date cake. One portion for you to take back, and one for Comrade Fu. Today, you have truly given us the Qiu family great honor."

After some polite refusal, the items went into the car along with the people.

The jeep's speed was naturally much faster than walking. Since Fu Yan Cheng had already come to the village in the morning, as soon as the informants under the tree at the village entrance saw the car entering, they began to discuss: "Didn't this car come once this morning? Why has it come again?"

"I know, I know. It must be to bring the Shanliang family back."

"What do you mean?"

"Today Xia Qiu's younger brother-in-law got married. The Shanliang family went over the mountains early to the Northern Suburb Farm. This morning, Liu Chuxue's partner came to an empty house; he must have gone over there to find them."

"It really is. The one sitting in the front is that girl Liu Chuxue, right?"

When the car was nearly at the information center under the tree, Fu Yan Cheng deliberately slowed down. Everyone could clearly see the people inside through the open car windows: "Oh my, Shanliang, back from the banquet, and you're even riding in a small car now."

Liu Shanliang had never seen such a scene, his face full of awkwardness.

Liu Mu and Chunxiao were different; they waved to the window: "Fifth Aunt, we'll go home first. Come visit when you have time."

This scene was seen by Seeing Seeing Seeing Ge Xiulan, who had just returned from washing clothes in the river, and her eyes turned red with anger.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she started complaining: "This is truly thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Now that life is good, they don't even stretch out a hand to help their own brothers, nor do they come to see their parents. Truly ungrateful."

At this moment, Liu Pozi, who had gone to the back to use the toilet and was returning, heard her words: "What are you saying over there?"

Seeing Seeing Seeing Ge Xiulan didn't stop her hands: "I heard that today Xia Qiu's younger brother-in-law got married. Your second son's family is returning in a jeep. Even though they have separated the household and cut off relations, isn't her Liu Shanliang also the one you carried for ten months? Now he eats well and drinks well, yet he doesn't think of you at all. Truly ungrateful."

As soon as she said this, Liu Pozi's face was full of guilt: "We've already cut off relations; don't go looking for trouble when there is none."

After speaking, she hurried into the house.

If one were to say she didn't want to go to their door, how could that be possible? But ever since that night when she was beaten, she and her old husband feared that person would expose the matter, so how could they dare to go to their door and cause trouble?

They were just terrified that the person from that night would come again; whether their lives could be saved was uncertain. Even if they had the thief's heart now, they didn't have the thief's courage; it was better to just endure and hide.

Unintentionally, this saved Liu Chuxue and the others a lot of trouble.

As for the eldest and third branches, the old couple hadn't gone to their door. Even if they had thoughts, they had to hold them in. This was also the point the two branches found most incomprehensible, not knowing what exactly had happened to the old couple.
