Chapter 601: Plastic Sisters Part Ways on the Spot

When Fu Yan Cheng learned those two still dared to bother Liu Chuxue, his face darkened: "Company Commander Qiu, your company's ideological education has a serious problem."

After dropping that one line, he lifted his foot and walked over.

Ignoring Company Commander Qiu's expression, he walked straight past.

The sound of his footsteps startled the two who had been arguing; the moment they saw it was Fu Yan Cheng, both of them went pale in an instant.

Company Commander Qiu took a deep breath and glared fiercely at the two ahead: Truly stupid enough — on a road full of people coming and going, they still dared to argue here; they really had it coming.

Jiang Xiaoya's intentions — who in their communications company didn't know? Let alone the fact that Deputy Battalion Commander Fu already had a fiancée; even if he didn't, after today's scene there would never be any possibility.

And what Deputy Battalion Commander Fu had just said was clearly pointing at him, the company commander: "You two are really embarrassing yourselves out here on the main road. Go back and write a thousand-word self-criticism, then attend a week of ideological education classes with the new recruit company."

After saying that, he too strode off.

Watching the company commander walk away, Jiang Xiaoya exploded: "Happy now? You've truly harmed others and yourself — from now on, don't ever use 'for my own good' as your banner to stir up trouble."

Zhang Haizhen was quite riled up by those words: "You — you — you really can't tell a good heart from a bad one. Don't ever count on me to help you again."

The plastic sisters thus parted ways on the spot.

Coming out of the village committee, just as she had parted from Grandpa Secretary and his grandson, she saw Liu's father waiting not far ahead: "Dad, why did you come over?"

Liu's father still had a hand-rolled tobacco pinched between his fingers: "Came to meet you on the way."

Whether Liu's father came out of guilt over today's trouble caused by Chunxiao, or out of concern for her seeing it was getting dark — one had to admit, at this moment Liu Chuxue's heart felt warm: "Let's go, head home."

"How many days did you spend in the Northeast? Which day did you get back?"

"Ten days in total. I got back the night before last."

Thinking of something, she continued: "Our section chief took pity on me for the hardship of the business trip and gave me two days off. Add in tomorrow being the weekend, and if nothing unexpected comes up, I can stay home a few extra days — just right to go visit my sister."

At this point, Liu Niang thought of the matter involving Qiu family's eldest uncle's wife's maternal relatives: "Right, how did things turn out with your brother-in-law's eldest uncle's wife's family?"

"Today on my way back I ran into the Qiu family's eldest uncle's wife's younger sister's husband's eldest sister-in-law on the bus. She said the person has been released — it really was a case of deliberate framing."

In truth, they really ought to thank Liu Chuxue. If she hadn't gotten Kong Yizhang to step in, the framing might well have succeeded. Today on the bus she had also mentioned it briefly to Zhang Taohua; as for what they did about it, that was up to them.

Thinking about it, although it was just a few words on his part, they did owe Kong Yizhang a favor.

Chatting as they went, they arrived home. Liu's mother had just put noodles into the pot: "Chuxue, the noodles are in the pot — do you want to rinse them in cold water?"

"No need, just ladle the topping straight on."

After dinner, Liu Chuxue carried the bag she'd brought back into the main hall: "Mom, I brought some things back from the Northeast for you this time."

Chunxiao, hearing Liu Chuxue's words, kept glancing over from time to time. Too bad Liu Chuxue wasn't going to indulge her — if she was always looking for trouble, then naturally her gift was gone.

Originally she had prepared a piece of flawed fabric for each of them, but when she took them out, only Liu's father and Liu's mother's were there: "Keep this fabric to make clothes for the New Year."

Then she took out some dried goods: "These are all dried specialties from over there — try them for something fresh."

After that came the blood sausage: "This has to be eaten tomorrow; if kept any longer it might go bad. Just right — I'll send some over to my sister tomorrow too."

In fact, going bad was impossible — she had put it into her space right after buying it.

Only after she had taken out the baby's bottles, the nipples, and the flawed cotton cloth for making diaper wraps did Chunxiao still not see anything for herself: "Where's mine?"
