Chapter 935: A Girl and Her Dog Became the Street's Most Striking Sight

Since the sky had been overcast since early morning, with snowflakes already drifting down now and then, Liu Chuxue didn't ride her bicycle over.

But bringing Zhui Feng along made it hard to squeeze onto the bus, so she took the dog and strolled toward her aunt's house.

Since transmigrating, she'd been busy making a living the whole time and hadn't really taken in the capital city at this time of year.

Using the old method, she loaded the New Year goods for her aunt into two cloth sacks, then tied a knot and slung them onto the dog's back.

Zhui Feng had come to a new place, and everything looked fresh and exciting. Maybe it also knew Liu Chuxue wouldn't send it back to the grain station to go hungry, so its lively nature had returned. Carrying the load, it kept running ahead, and when it got too far from Liu Chuxue, it would stop and wait.

Sometimes when the mood struck, it would run back and nuzzle against Liu Chuxue; sometimes, growing impatient from waiting, it would bark "Woof woof" at her, and once it saw her catching up, it would dash off again in high spirits.

The girl and her dog became a beautiful sight on the street, and many people stopped to watch.

Seeing everyone talking about it, Zhui Feng got even more of a stage fever and started putting on a show.

Liu Chuxue hadn't expected this side of Zhui Feng. She thought, if this were the later era, it'd definitely trend on the hot search. Seeing the snow falling thicker, she said, "Zhui Feng, that's enough, let's get moving."

When she arrived at her aunt's house, the people in the courtyard were busy covering each household's coal briquettes with straw mats. Seeing her come in with a dog, someone called out, "Oh my, such a big dog — it won't bite anyone, will it?"

"Look, that dog's carrying stuff on its back."

When entering the alley, Liu Chuxue had already put a leash on Zhui Feng. Hearing the courtyard folks, she held up the leash in her hand and said, "Don't worry, everyone, I've got it leashed. It won't run around, and as long as no one goes up to tease it, it won't act up."

Someone recognized Liu Chuxue: "You're Nianchun's niece, you came by a while back, right?"

Liu Chuxue nodded: "Yes, it's almost New Year, so I came to see my aunt and the rest of the family."

"Go on in, I just saw your uncle come back from outside."

Liu Chuxue thanked them and headed inside.

The moment she left, someone started gossiping: "Looks like the Qiu family isn't planning to go back for New Year this year."

"After all that fuss before, how could they go back — unless they want the marriage over."

"Still, that Qiu family's eldest daughter-in-law is really a troublemaker. With a perfectly good life right there, she just had to be black-hearted and harm people."

"Right you are, mother and daughter, neither one's good. They harmed Nianchun twice in a row — that's a grave lack of virtue."

"Harming others only harms themselves; their lives are done for."

Someone leaned in: "I heard the Qiu family's eldest daughter-in-law's mother got mixed up with some spies — she was just being used."

"Really?"

"Mm, I only heard it too."

"Once you get tangled up with those people, how can things end well? She's had too many good days, that's the trouble."

"Enough said, here come the Qiu elders."

"Why are they here?"

"Tomorrow's New Year's Eve — they must want their family to come back and spend it together."

"The in-laws have come in person themselves — what do you think Nianchun will do?"

Liu Chuxue had just stepped inside: "Aunt, Uncle."

Then she called out to her cousin brother and sister: "Yiming, Yilin, your big sister brought you something good to eat."

No sooner had she spoken than someone outside called out: "Jinzhou, Nianchun, look who's here."

All of them looked out through the window.

But Xiao Nianchun's face quickly darkened: "Jinzhou, take the guests to Yiming's room. I need to talk with Chuxue."

If her niece hadn't been there, Xiao Nianchun probably wouldn't have wanted to let her in-laws through the door.

It wasn't that the previous matters had been done on purpose, but if they hadn't indulged Wu Tianxiang, she wouldn't have dared to be so vicious as to harm her child.
