Chapter 773: News About the House
After seeing off the Xiao family, regardless of the village's reaction, Liu's father directly closed the door and refused all visitors, fearing that people from the old house would shamelessly come to their door and demand they let the old couple off.
While tidying up, Liu's mother asked, "Your father, don't you forget how the Liu family treated us. Do you truly not plan to change back to the surname Xiao?"
Liu's father also voiced his concerns once more. Liu's mother listened and fell into thought: "Indeed, that is a problem."
On the other side, sitting in the car returning to the city, Liu Chuxue was similarly asked by Grandfather Xiao about the surname change: "Chuxue, what are your thoughts on changing your surname?"
Liu Chuxue did not answer but instead passed the ball directly to Liu's father: "This matter depends on my father's decision; I have no objection."
Grandfather Xiao knew he had been too hasty: "That is true."
Along the way, Uncle Xiao Changjiang mentioned many things: "Chuxue, the people from Haishi should have already arrived. Do you want to come over tomorrow?"
Liu Chuxue thought for a moment: "I will not participate in this. With you all here, I believe nothing will go wrong."
Xiao Changjiang looked at Liu Chuxue: "You cannot say that. After all, tomorrow is not only about several parties facing each other to make things clear, but it also involves the issue of compensation."
Liu Chuxue asked in confusion: "Compensation?"
Xiao Changjiang nodded: "We have contacted your great-uncle. His view is that since Han Huaiming's wife's job was inherited from your great-grandmother, they naturally must provide compensation. It is best if you come tomorrow."
Since Uncle had said so, Liu Chuxue did not refuse again: "Alright, but I will probably arrive a bit later. I need to finish handling my current work first before going over."
Meanwhile, the old couple of the Liu family were now also at the Gongan Bureau in the city; this had been arranged by Grandfather Xiao.
Liu's mother did not expect they would not be taken to the county Gongan Bureau but instead brought back to the city: "Old man, we are already in the city. Even if the eldest and the third want to save us, it won't matter. What should we do?"
The old Liu man had been silent all along: "I have thought it over and over. The only one who can save us is probably that child we sent away, after all, we suffered this disaster for his sake."
"But we never raised that child for a single day. Can he help us?"
"We are his biological parents. If he does not help, that is unfilial. Now that the matter is exposed, do you think he can still treat him as before over there?"
As soon as Liu Chuxue reached the factory entrance, she saw the tall figure waiting there.
As the car stopped, Fu Yan Cheng turned around, spotted Liu Chuxue in the car at a glance, and walked straight over: "You're back?"
Grandfather Xiao, having naturally heard that Liu Chuxue was already engaged, upon seeing Fu Yan Cheng asked: "Are you the young master from the second branch of the Fu family?"
"Grandpa Xiao, it is me."
"Oh my, I never expected my well-behaved granddaughter would be snatched away by you rascal."
Fu Yan Cheng smiled as he looked at Liu Chuxue: "She is so good; naturally, one must strike first."
Hearing these words, Grandfather Xiao burst into laughter: "You rascal, you are truly just like your grandfather."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Grandfather Xiao and the others finally left.
Seeing the car drive away, Fu Yan Cheng did not ask about today's events but whispered to Liu Chuxue: "There is a household not far from my home that wants to sell a house. Although the courtyard is a bit small, the advantage is that it is an independent small courtyard."
Liu Chuxue suddenly became alert: "Really?"
Fu Yan Cheng nodded lightly: "Mm."
Liu Chuxue, excited, jumped straight up: "That is truly wonderful."
She thought to herself: Small is not a problem; as long as we can close the door and live our own lives, that is enough.
