Chapter 873: Business Trip to Inner Mongolia

Qi Shufang had something weighing on her heart and simply couldn't hold it back: "Auntie, I have something I want to say to you."

Seeing her state, it was clear she did not want outsiders to overhear.

Her aunt was also clever; she squatted down and leaned close to Qi Shufang: "Say whatever you need to say, I'm listening."

Qi Shufang saw that the few people inside the house were not looking their way: "Auntie, don't tell my mother about the child. As for what to do later, we can discuss it once I get home."

Her aunt sighed lightly and finally nodded, saying: "Alright."

However, what happened to Qi Shufang here did not escape Qi Xiuyan; when he received the news, he remained silent for a long time.

Only when a shout came from the other end of the phone did he reply: "I understand. Thanks for keeping an eye on her for me."

He raised his hand and lightly tapped the table, wondering if this was an accident or if Qi Shufang had done it on purpose?

Without this child, if that madman Yao Qidong ever returned one day, would he retaliate against the Qi family?

Since the other side had not notified the family, he did not intend to interfere with the matter either; he would just wait and see what his cousin would do.

The Qi couple arrived at the door the next day with gifts; they had already agreed that regardless of whether the Fu family forgave them or not, they had to make this trip, hoping to show the Fu family their sincerity.

Seeing them arrive, Fu Yanwan's expression was truly hard to describe; the two families had originally been on good terms, and she and Qi Shufang had played together often when they were young. Initially, she had been happy about Shufang's affection for her fourth brother, but after seeing her fourth brother's displeasure and receiving his warning, she gradually reduced her contact with Shufang.

She never expected Qi Shufang to hold a grudge against her, and even worse, wanted to ruin her, making her as wretched as herself; where could she go to seek justice?

Today, the Fu parents, fearing their daughter would feel unwell, had both taken leave to stay home and accompany her.

Seeing the Qi couple arrive with gifts, Fu's mother directly refused to let them in: "My daughter was severely frightened and does not wish to see outsiders; you should go back."

Qi's mother, hearing these words, was filled with anxiety and stepped forward, intending to kneel.

Fu's mother shouted directly: "What are you doing? Do you intend to force us to forgive?"

Qi's mother quickly explained: "No, no, we do not mean that."

Ruizhi, considering that she committed this foolish act only because she developed a heart demon from unrequited love, and considering the years of friendship between our two families, please forgive her one more time, will you?"

Fu's mother's face immediately turned cold: "We are both mothers. Your daughter did such a shameless thing, yet you still want to protect her. Do you think I would disregard my daughter's feelings for the sake of social propriety? You should go back. As for the friendship between our two families, you have already exhausted it; do not mention it again in the future."

How the Fu family would vent their anger on Fu Yanwan, Liu Chuxue did not know, but she did receive a mission to travel to Inner Mongolia for business: "Section Chief, when do we depart?"

Section Chief Li did not expect Liu Chuxue to agree so readily; after all, traveling to Inner Mongolia for business in such cold weather was a bitter task that everyone avoided.

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Liu Chuxue could guess what they were thinking; for others, a business trip was a bitter task, but for her, it was a good thing. After all, she had always been looking for opportunities to travel to various places to stock up on special goods. Going to Inner Mongolia was perfect; she would definitely find a chance to get a few lambs and calves into her space, then toss them onto the mountain behind the house to let them breed freely.

There were still several years before the Reform and Opening Up, and she would need meat during these intervening years, so she never expected this opportunity to actually arrive.

Seeing her like this, Section Chief Li finally felt completely at ease: "After this business trip, I will apply for a reward for you."
