Chapter 8: Truly a Family of Ungrateful Bai Yanlang

The ones who spoke just now were not only Liu Chuxue, but also her brother-in-law Qiu Shaofeng and the Qiu family's great-grandmother, a small-footed old lady who had just come out of the kitchen.

The Qiu family great-grandmother shot a glare at her second daughter-in-law, who lacked common sense: "Even with food in your mouth, you can't shut it. What does your sister-in-law's maiden family matter to you? Behave yourself."

Liu Xiaqiu had no mood to deal with this sister-in-law who was showing off because of her pregnancy: "Chuxue, what exactly happened?"

Liu Chuxue quickly recounted the whole matter.

Hearing that her own father's leg injury was severe and required treatment in the city, Liu Xiaqiu's voice trembled: "How could this happen?"

Fearing her sister would get upset and angry, Liu Chuxue said: "Father's leg injury is indeed serious, but it is not untreatable. Since the matter has happened, we can only deal with it actively."

After hearing her sister's words, she raised her hand and wiped her face with her sleeve: Her sister was right; as long as Father's leg could be treated, it was good. Crying and wailing like this now was indeed unlucky.

The Qiu family great-grandmother leaned on her cane and approached: "Xiaqiu, your sister traveled all this way over the mountains; quickly let her sit down and have a bite."

Seeing kindness on the Qiu family great-grandmother's face, Liu Chuxue still could not bear the filthy words from those looking for trouble, nor did she want to cause unrest in the Qiu family over a single meal: "No need, Mother-in-law Great-Grandmother. I must hurry back to the commune health center to relieve my mother. I just came to deliver a message to my sister and brother-in-law."

After speaking, she looked at her own sister: "Sister, you settle things at home first; I will leave now."

Smelling the fragrance of food in the air, she struggled to hold back her rebellious stomach; if she didn't leave now, she would lose face.

Leaving the Northern Suburb Farm, as she passed the farm's reservoir, her stomach growled loudly.

Staring at the fish occasionally swimming by the reservoir, thinking of various cooking methods from the future, she drooled with craving.

A cold wind blew, and she could only sigh at the water as the fish swam far away.

Recalling her unfortunate fate, she couldn't help but sigh to the sky: She just wanted to try gliding, yet how did she end up in this era where one couldn't get enough to eat? It was truly outrageous; outrageous to the extreme.

Touching her stomach that kept growling, she soothed it: "Stop making noise. Once today is over, I promise I won't mistreat you again."

Thinking of her plan, she naturally quickened her pace.

Eldest Aunt Ge Xiulan's maiden home, Lizhuang, was separated from Liushu Village by only a river. Since she could not appear in Liujiazhuang now, she decided to go to Lizhuang first.

The original owner knew something about Ge Xiulan's nephew; fortunately, the Ge family lived on the edge of the village, which made it convenient for her to act. After all, only by knowing both the enemy and oneself could one win every battle; perhaps she could even find some clues from the Ge family.

When she arrived at the Ge house, the whistle for work in the village sounded just then, and the Ge family members left the courtyard one after another.

Hiding behind the firewood pile outside and watching for a long time, she still didn't see the culprit come out: Could that guy not be at home?

Just as she was wondering whether to continue staking out the Ge house or return to the town first, she heard from inside the Ge house: "Baocheng, why didn't you go to work?"

"Grandma, I have important business to do early tomorrow morning; did you forget?"

"I will go find the team leader to request leave for you. Before this matter is settled, we cannot show even a single slip. Once it succeeds, remember your eldest aunt's kindness."

"Grandma, rest assured. In the future, I will definitely take good care of my eldest aunt."

"But speaking of which, the Chen family is too vicious. They clearly wanted to break the engagement themselves, yet they set a trap for that Miss."

"You can't say that. If the Chen family hadn't wanted to break the engagement, how could this good thing have happened?"

Liu Chuxue heard the conversation between this grandmother and grandson clearly. She never expected the culprit to be the Chen family, who were engaged to the original owner. They were truly a family of ungrateful Bai Yanlang.
