Chapter 848: What Are You Making Such a Fuss About?

She had not been at the meeting place long before the meat-packing plant's cargo truck arrived.

This time, Aunt Wu was not on the truck; instead, a young Miss sat there, but the driver was someone she knew: "Master Dou, thank you for your trouble today."

Before she could finish speaking, the driver had not yet replied, but the young Miss spoke up: "Since you know it's trouble, why even ask, making Master Dou bear this burden?"

Liu Chuxue frowned at her: "Master Dou hasn't said a word; what are you making such a fuss about?"

Master Dou knew that Liu Chuxue's in-laws were no simple folk, and moreover, she always showed appreciation every time she rode with them; to be honest, they were quite willing, after all, it was just a press of the accelerator and a turn down a street. Last time, a part on his truck broke, and spare parts were unavailable for a while; it was the young Miss who found people at the Rolling Steel Mill to help: "Little Song, Comrade Liu Chuxue has helped me before. Besides, it's just a matter of going out of one's way; how could it be called a burden?"

The Miss, known as Little Song, did not expect that her attempt to stand up for Master Dou would result in her being lectured: "Master Dou..."

She wanted to say more, but Master Dou interrupted: "Enough, Little Song. Just do your own job well; you don't need to worry about other matters."

Little Song immediately felt ashamed, let out a small 'Hmph!', and turned her face away.

While driving, Master Dou explained to Liu Chuxue: "Liu Chuxue, she only joined the unit a few days ago; don't take it to heart."

Liu Chuxue was just borrowing a ride; as long as it wasn't excessive, she didn't want to cause trouble: "So she's a new employee; I see."

With just two simple sentences, Little Song felt slighted. She wanted to say something more, but seeing that Liu Chuxue had already turned her face to the other side and showed no intention of engaging further, she fell silent.

After all, as Master Dou said, she was just someone who had recently joined the factory and truly dared not cause any trouble.

All the way, Master Dou and Liu Chuxue chatted intermittently. From him, she learned that Aunt Wu had taken leave because her eldest son had fallen and been injured a few days ago, requiring hospitalization, which was why this newly arrived young Miss was accompanying the truck.

Aunt Wu was a good person, so she asked a few more questions. Knowing which hospital she was in, she thought she would find time later to go visit.

After all, people treat each other in kind. If she hadn't known, it would have been fine, but now that she knew, she naturally had to make the trip; after all, extra courtesy never offends, does it?

The truck happened to pass Guangming Village. Liu Chuxue got off at the intersection: "Master Dou, my sister is just behind. When you come out, honk the horn, and I'll hear it."

Master Dou replied: "Alright."

Liu Chuxue got off the truck carrying the prepared items and heard the Miss with the surname Song say: "We can't stay at the breeding farm for long; don't dawdle and affect our time returning to Huicheng."

Seeing the Miss's awkward demeanor, Liu Chuxue smiled: "Thanks for the reminder."

The Miss did not expect such a reaction from Liu Chuxue and immediately turned her head to the other side.

After the truck drove away, she also quickly left the spot; after all, the dust kicked up by the bicycle was too much, and if she didn't move faster, she would be affected by it.

What she did not expect was that, still some distance from the Qiu family, she saw a crowd gathered at the entrance of her eldest sister's courtyard. Worrying that something had happened to her own sister, she sprinted toward them.

Upon arriving, she pulled over a woman from the onlookers, handed her a piece of fruit candy, and asked: "Auntie, what happened?"

Seeing the candy in Liu Chuxue's hand, the woman immediately smiled: "Oh, it's nothing. It's just that Qiu Shaocheng's in-laws have an unreasonable sister-in-law. A few days ago, her younger brother got married, and she went back to help for a few days. She didn't bring the child, nor did she express milk or clear her ducts in time. After finishing helping with her brother's wedding and returning, she discovered her milk had dried up."
