Chapter 930: Snatching Food from a Dog's Mouth
"By all rights, it shouldn't be so. The dog from the Shanliang family came from the army; it's fierce."
"If someone is after it, and they can't come at it openly, can't they strike in the dark?"
"That is indeed possible."
Everyone spoke up, one sentence after another, frightening the man sent by the Grain Station to find the dog no end.
If they can't find the dog, how can they explain it to the owner?
And in the Grain Station office: "What kind of thing have you done?"
"Station Chief, I had no choice. Several more mouths suddenly appeared in my family..."
The man hadn't finished speaking when the Station Chief cut him off: "How can your family having extra mouths be the Grain Station's fault? I was saying why Zhui Feng kept losing weight; turns out you were skimming his rations.
If that dog really meets with trouble, just wait and see you'll be ruined."
The man grew anxious: "Station Chief, it's just a dog. It might have run back home. I promise I won't skim its rations again."
"Even if the dog is found, do you think I'd dare let you feed it again?"
While they went mad searching for the dog, over there Liu Chuxue had finished lunch and was preparing to return to Huicheng.
Qiu Shaofeng borrowed the team's donkey cart to take Liu Chuxue and Zhui Feng to the main road outside the commune, preparing to wait for the bus there.
As soon as Qiu Shaofeng stopped the cart, Liu Chuxue said, "Brother-in-law, leave the things here and hurry back. My sister can't be left alone these past few days."
Qiu Shaofeng shook his head and said, "Your sister said I must see you onto the bus."
The couple feared the bus wouldn't let Zhui Feng ride.
Just as Liu Chuxue was about to say something, she saw a jeep that had already passed turn around and come back.
Looking up, she saw Kong Yizhang sticking his head out the window: "Brother Kong."
Kong Yizhang opened the car door and got down: "Are you returning to the village?"
"Yes, I went back for a spin and then visited my sister."
"I thought it looked like you. I told Xiao Zhang to stop the car immediately. Well then, let's go. Since we've met, it's perfect; I'll give you a ride back to Huicheng."
Liu Chuxue didn't make a fuss: "That would be truly wonderful. Thank you so much."
Kong Yizhang saw the dog behind her: "Zhui Feng is returning to Huicheng too."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Zhui Feng, as if afraid Kong Yizhang wouldn't take him, leaped onto the open back seat ahead of everyone.
Seeing its action, Kong Yizhang said, "Hey, so you're afraid I won't take you, huh? You got in the car first."
Qiu Shaofeng helped put the things in the trunk: "It probably understood what we were saying earlier. It was afraid you wouldn't take it, so it got in first."
After speaking, he even laughed.
What no one expected was that they saw Zhui Feng roll its eyes at them.
Kong Yizhang looked shocked and said, "Has this dog become a spirit?"
Only after speaking did he realize the words were inappropriate and quickly corrected himself: "It wouldn't be able to understand us talking, would it?"
Liu Chuxue didn't answer directly, only smiling: "It is indeed quite smart."
While they were talking over there, they didn't notice a tractor coming out of the commune. Sitting on it was none other than Chen Weiping, the one who had broken off his engagement with Liu Chuxue previously.
Watching the people talking and laughing over there, Chen Weiping tightened his grip on the handrail so hard his fingernails split without him even noticing. He had heard people say before that Liu Chuxue was engaged, and to someone from the city.
He didn't see Kong Yizhang's face clearly and mistakenly thought this was Liu Chuxue's fiancé, driving a jeep no less.
He never expected that after they broke the engagement, his own life had gone terribly wrong; he almost lost his job, and his days were filled with misery. In contrast, the other party was thriving, which made him feel resentful, convinced it shouldn't be this way.
