Chapter 762: Truly Making Trouble Out of Nothing; Now Look at This

She casually picked up a piece of clothing, flung it into the water, pulled it back, and began scrubbing it on a stone: "Auntie, I only arrived at the factory not long ago, and most of us in the finance section are elderly. Even the few who are younger are mostly young Misses, so I really can't help."

How could Su Hongjuan let such an opportunity slip easily? "Liu Chuxue, if Auntie did anything wrong to you before, please don't hold it against me. You and Xiao Man are still close cousins after all. If your life is going well, you can't just watch hers go badly, can you? Just consider the fact that you grew up together and help her."

Auntie Liangzi kept glancing at Su Hongjuan: "Hongjuan, Liu Chuxue is still a child. If you want to find a city person for your daughter, go find the Matchmaker Su from the next village; she has arranged many matches for young Misses in the nearby villages."

Su Hongjuan rolled her eyes, thinking: What kind of matches does Matchmaker Su arrange? Either second marriages, older women, or those with defects. Did she really think I hadn't asked around?

She just couldn't say that. If it got back to Matchmaker Su, the reputation of her own children would be ruined; she feared Matchmaker Su would smear them within a few days.

She pretended not to hear, coughed lightly, and said: "Xiao Man won't turn seventeen for a few more days. Take your time finding someone for her; there's no rush."

Liu Chuxue looked at her as if she were a stubborn leech: "You seem to have forgotten what our relationship is now. Aren't you afraid I might deliberately harm Xiao Man?"

Hearing Liu Chuxue say this, Su Hongjuan's heart started pounding: "You, you..."

Before she could finish, Liu Chuxue turned to look at her: "How could I possibly let the people from the old house stick to our family again? You've got the wrong person."

Su Hongjuan didn't expect Liu Chuxue to be so direct.

She had originally planned to bring this up in front of outsiders so the young Miss would find it hard to refuse, but she hadn't expected to miscalculate like this.

Liu Chuxue had other matters to attend to and no time to argue with her here.

She naturally sped up her hand movements.

After washing her own clothes, Auntie Liangzi grabbed Liu Chuxue's: "Let me wash a few for you. We can go to your house together in a while; I haven't seen your mother in a long time."

Afterwards, the two of them chatted, leaving Su Hongjuan completely unable to interject.

Su Hongjuan, furious, could only vent her temper on the clothes.

A young bride who came by later kindly warned: "Auntie Hongjuan, if you keep scrubbing like that, you might as well throw the clothes away."

Su Hongjuan only then realized that the garment in her hands was a knitted sweater, and because she had used too much force, it was severely worn out.

A piece of clothing that could have been worn for several years was now completely ruined, causing a sharp pang of pain in her heart.

So angry was she that she stood up and vented her rage directly at Liu Chuxue: "Look at the mess you've made!"

How could Liu Chuxue let her off? She looked down at the stone under her feet and pressed down with a bit more force a few times.

Since she was strong, the stone naturally shifted position.

Before Su Hongjuan could react, her footing became unstable, and she fell straight into the river.

Now Su Hongjuan couldn't bother finding fault with Liu Chuxue anymore: "Oh my, oh my, oh my goodness, hurry and pull me up!"

The river water wasn't deep, but it was quite cold. After the young Misses and young brides pulled her up, a cold wind blew past.

Su Hongjuan didn't even care about the unfinished washing; she lifted her feet and ran straight home, constantly slapping her arms: "I'm freezing to death!"

After watching her run away, Auntie Liangzi whispered to Liu Chuxue: "Could this be Heaven opening its eyes and letting her reap what she sowed?"

Liu Chuxue chuckled softly: "Probably."

Auntie Liangzi let out a "Hmph!" at the person running far away: "Truly making trouble out of nothing. Now look at this; see if she dares to stick to your family again!"
