Chapter 940: A Sun Nu Not to Be Underestimated

~4 min read 718 words

Liu Chuxue hadn't expected to meet Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Guo here either: "Grandpa Guo, you live here too?"

Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Guo waved his hand and said, "I live in the courtyard next door. I came today to visit an old friend, happened to meet your grandpa, and we chatted a bit right here."

Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Xiao was somewhat surprised: "You know each other well?"

Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Guo smiled: "Well, not exactly well, but we do have some acquaintance."

Having said that, he looked at Liu Chuxue: "Isn't that right, little girl?"

Liu Chuxue nodded with a smile and recounted the incident of meeting several old men while fishing at Shichahai before.

Xiao Fu and Xiao Mu quickly spoke up to express their thanks,

never expecting that the people their daughter had mentioned earlier were all high-ranking, powerful old commanders.

Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Guo smiled: "We exchanged goods for goods; you need not thank me. Rather, we old fellows often benefit from the little girl's favor."

Remembering something, he quickly added: "However, it's been quite a while since I saw this girl go to Shichahai."

Liu Chuxue smiled: "After starting work, I don't go often. I probably went at a time I just missed them, so I didn't see them."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Guo smiled: "Girl, it's cold out. You should hurry back with your grandpa. If you have time, come play at the neighboring compound. My home is in Courtyard No. 16, your Grandpa Xiao is in Courtyard No. 21, and Grandpa Qi is in Courtyard No. 13. Ask the gatekeeper to make a call, and I'll have someone come out to fetch you."

Liu Chuxue agreed, and only then did Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Guo leave.

Seeing Liu Chuxue handle the situation with composure, Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Xiao looked at this granddaughter with even higher regard.

He hadn't expected his own granddaughter to be so capable; not only did she have a deep friendship with Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Guo of the Guo family, but she also had connections with Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Xiao of the Xiao family and Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Qi of the Qi family. She truly could not be underestimated.

After all, the neighboring compound was several levels higher than theirs. Even he didn't have many connections with the leaders of that compound. His familiarity with Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Guo was because there were his former comrades in this compound; he often came over here to visit, which made them somewhat familiar.

When the family arrived at the Xiao residence, Miao Yiqiu heard the commotion and came out: "It's cold outside; come in quickly. Your eldest brother and sister-in-law should be arriving soon too."

Liu Chuxue and Chunxiao called out in unison: "Greetings, Auntie Grandma."

After acknowledging them, Miao Yiqiu hurriedly invited the sisters inside.

Just as Xiao Mu got off the cart, Xiao Dabo and his wife arrived, and after another round of pleasantries, they all went inside together.

They had come by bicycle, and the handlebars were loaded with big and small bundles.

Seeing the items Xiao Fu was carrying, Xiao Dabo's eyes widened instantly: "Second brother, where did you get such a big fish?"

Xiao Fu wore a proud expression: "Liu Chuxue brought it back yesterday afternoon. How about it? This was caught by Liu Chuxue herself. Impressive, right?"

Xiao Dabo looked at Liu Chuxue in shock: "Did you really catch this?"

Liu Chuxue nodded with a smile: "Yes. After returning from my cousin's house, there was nothing much to do, so I thought I'd try my luck. I didn't expect such a good harvest."

Xiao Dabo's wife looked at the fish she was carrying and sighed: "Yesterday, your cousin managed to snatch two fish, and I thought he was quite capable. Now seeing this big fish, ah, the fish in my hand are nothing to mention."

Xiao Wanpeng, who had arrived just a step behind them, happened to hear this: "Mom, your youngest son is still behind you."

Seeing his expression, everyone burst into laughter.

Liu Chuxue looked at Xiao Wanpeng: "Cousin, stop showing off and hurry to help carry the things inside."

Xiao Wanpeng, who already had a good relationship with Liu Chuxue, propped his bicycle aside: "Got it, coming right up."
