Chapter 598: Truly, You Are in a Fortunate Position But Do Not Know It

Liu Chuxue glanced at the sky; who would call her at this hour?

It couldn't be the workplace; although she had registered the village phone number with the section chief, the chief had granted the holiday personally. He wouldn't drag her back immediately after she returned, and she didn't consider herself important enough for that.

That left Fu Yan Cheng as a possibility; could she have called the workplace to look for her?

That was possible; after all, the section chief and Fu Yan Cheng were on good terms: "Wait while I wash my hands, then we'll go together."

While washing her hands: "Chunxiao, you roll out the noodles first and cook them for Mom and Dad to eat; I'll come back later and cook my own."

After drying her hands: "Mom, I'll go answer the phone first; I'll be right back."

Liu's mother handed each of her and the village secretary's little grandson a Guoguang apple: "Alright, I've washed these fruits; take them and eat."

The secretary's little grandson didn't stand on ceremony, but he thanked her while taking the apple.

As the two were about to walk out, Chunxiao didn't know what had gotten into her: "Hurry up, or we'll waste firewood waiting for you."

Liu Chuxue had been too lazy to pay her any mind, but the little girl only got more worked up, muttering another sentence immediately: "You haven't been back in so long, and as soon as you return, you just hide and laze around."

Liu Chuxue turned and walked back to her side: "Did I offend you or provoke you? From the moment I returned until now, you've been acting all sour-faced. I wasn't going to hold it against you, but you're just getting worse."

As she spoke, she dragged the person into the yard: "Come on, say it clearly in front of Mom and Dad."

Chunxiao hadn't expected Liu Chuxue's hearing to be so good; even though she had lowered her voice in the kitchen, her second sister had heard everything.

Liu's father and mother, hearing Liu Chuxue's words, also all turned to look at the youngest daughter.

Liu's mother spoke first: "Chunxiao, is what your second sister saying true?"

Chunxiao lowered her head and said nothing. Seeing this, Liu's mother, frustrated with her like iron that wouldn't turn to steel, said: "I think you've had too many good days; your head is filled with paste, and day after day you don't know right from wrong."

Hearing her own mother scold her, Chunxiao said: "You and Dad are just biased. Isn't it just because she found a good marriage? You're practically giving her your heart and soul. Look at what she's wearing now versus what I'm wearing. How is it that I don't know right from wrong?"

Liu's mother grew even angrier: "What she's wearing was bought by her future husband. What are you so jealous about?"

Liu Chuxue really couldn't bear to listen anymore and didn't want to delay answering the phone: "Liu Chunxiao, Mom is right. You really have had too many good days. Now you eat from the family and drink from the family; how can you compare with me?

You're truly a brainless thing."

Having finished speaking, she turned and walked out.

The secretary's little grandson looked at Chunxiao as if she were an idiot, and as he turned, he even shook his head and said: "Truly, you are in a fortunate position but do not know it."

How many girls in the village envied Liu Chunxiao's life? Living in such a good house, with a room that belonged solely to her. Her clothes, though not as stylish as those of city people, were far better than the rags patched upon rags worn by most girls in the village. Not to mention she could continue attending school, only returning home to help out occasionally, and sometimes she could be seen eating things like peach cakes and biscuits. How could she not be content?

Liu's mother, suppressing her anger, went into the kitchen first to take a look. Calculating that Liu Chuxue and the secretary's second little egg (Liu Zhili) had walked far enough away, she then said to Chunxiao: "If you don't give me a proper explanation today, don't bother going to school anymore."

"Why?"

"Because the more you study, the more you've learned it all into the dog's belly. Remember what kind of life you lived back at the old house, and what kind of life you live now. Don't forget; all of this was fought for by your second sister. Even this house was built with her rewards. What is there for you to feel aggrieved about?"
