Chapter 6: Please Keep Today's Matters Confidential

Thinking of the glory to come, the corner of her mouth couldn't help but curl into a proud smile, but she quickly suppressed it; with her younger brother-in-law in trouble, she couldn't let anyone seize on a pretext at this moment.

She glanced around and urged her second son: "Hurry back and 'properly' get to work."

She deliberately stressed the word 'properly'; success or failure hinged on today, and she couldn't let anyone notice anything amiss.

On the other side, Liu Chuxue, thinking of how her original self's eldest uncle's wife had plotted against the original owner, felt a flash of disgust in her eyes.

She was not the original owner who would have scruples about the Liu family; on the contrary, she was someone who repaid every slight, and since that aunt and niece had killed the original self for their own selfish gain, she would certainly collect this debt on behalf of the original self.

Before Kong Yizhang arrived with people, Liu Chuxue had sorted through the original self's memories.

The Liu family grandparents had given birth to three sons and two daughters in total, all of whom were already married.

As for what the eldest branch was plotting, there was likely more to it behind the scenes; otherwise, Ge Xiulan wouldn't have gone to such great lengths, after all, the eldest branch's two daughters, the older cousin was already married and the younger cousin was still young, so even if the original self's marriage arrangement fell through, it wouldn't fall on the eldest branch.

But why would she do this, taking such a huge risk, just to secure a wife for her nephew? She felt it couldn't be that simple.

No matter what schemes she had, or what schemes the entire eldest branch family had, meeting Liu Chuxue was their bad luck; she would certainly repay them a thousand or a hundred times over.

Just as she withdrew her thoughts, she heard the sound of a car stopping; looking up, she saw a jeep stop right opposite the post and telegraph office.

A man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, his expression serious, got out of the car and was scanning the surroundings alertly.

Liu Chuxue stood up and walked over; as she got close, the man looked over too.

Liu Chuxue nodded slightly to him: "Are you Comrade Kong?"

She did not use a polite form of address.

A flash of urgency passed through Kong Yizhang's eyes, but he didn't show it on his face: "Is it you who called me?"

After confirming identities, the two didn't exchange many pleasantries; after all, the man's condition wasn't good, and they feared further changes if they were late.

Liushu Village was already not far from the commune, and with Kong Yizhang constantly urging the driver to go faster, they soon arrived at the place where Liu Chuxue had previously left the mountains.

Once the car stopped steadily, the group didn't dare delay even a moment, hurrying towards the direction of the cave.

Along the way, Liu Chuxue had already recounted the whole story from beginning to end.

When they arrived, the man had already fainted and showed signs of fever.

Seeing the man, Kong Yizhang rushed forward with a look of urgency: "Fu Yan Cheng, Fu Yan Cheng, wake up."

The man only opened his eyes slightly before fainting again.

Seeing this situation, Kong Yizhang dared not delay any longer; he quickly ordered someone to bring the simple stretcher they had brought: "Move him onto the stretcher, handle him gently."

On the way over, he had already learned Liu Chuxue's basic information: "Comrade Liu, I am deeply grateful for today's matter; I will certainly send a token of thanks another day. Please keep today's events confidential."

Liu Chuxue naturally understood the seriousness of the situation: "As long as he is safe, that is enough; no thanks are needed, and I will certainly keep today's matter under lock and key."

Because she was going to the Northern Suburb Farm, she did not go down the mountain with them.

Kong Yizhang had originally disagreed; after all, they had reached the boundary between the inner and outer perimeters, and leaving a girl alone in the mountains, if something happened, wouldn't that make him a Bai Yanlang?

Liu Chuxue glanced at the cave: "His condition isn't good; you go first, I will clean up here, then head to the Northern Suburb Farm; a few hundred meters ahead is the logging team, so rest assured."
