Chapter 958: Refusal

For dinner, they ate at the village secretary's house.

That night, not only were they there, but also the elders of the clan; Fu Yan Cheng was urged to drink so much he nearly got drunk, fortunately Xiao Fu protected him.

That night, Chunxiao and Chuxue shared a room, while Fu Yan Cheng and Xiao Fu shared another.

By the late night, after seeing Chunxiao fall asleep, Chuxue secretly slipped out.

Fu Yan Cheng seemed to sense something, but Chuxue was quite fast, and since he had indeed drunk quite a lot, hearing no further noise afterward, he simply assumed it was his imagination.

Taking advantage of the cover of night, Chuxue quickly arrived at the household where Chunxiao was married in the book.

She did not directly take a life; instead, after changing into a pair of rubber shoes sized for a man, she kicked the family's house room by room over a dozen times. Once she finished kicking, that family heard the commotion.

However, before they could rush out of the room, Chuxue had already slipped away.

By the time they rushed out to find the culprit, the house, which was already flimsy and had been damaged by Chuxue, simply could not bear the strain, collapsing right there into a pile of rubble.

The family rushing outside was terribly frightened; once they realized what happened, screams and wails rose up simultaneously.

Chuxue watched this scene from behind a woodpile not far away; she did not regret attacking this family, after all, the man Chunxiao married in the book had already tortured two previous wives to death, and not a single one in that family was any good.

Although with her intervention, Chunxiao would have no further connection with them, it did not stop her from dealing with them.

She did not take their lives, only left them homeless, considering it a lesson for them.

When Chuxue returned in the late night, Fu Yan Cheng, whose drunkenness had already faded, snapped his eyes open; he had been listening until Chuxue entered the room and the noise ceased, only then drifting off into a drowsy sleep.

Early the next morning, when they arrived at the village secretary's house, they heard that the Gou family's house in the neighboring village had collapsed overnight, and it was a collapse beyond any hope of rescue, shattered into rubble; the whole family cursed all night and, in their anger, ended up in the hospital.

Upon hearing this, Fu Yan Cheng specifically glanced over at Chuxue; seeing her chatting with others as if nothing had happened, he withdrew his gaze.

Chuxue followed the village girls and aunts into Liu Zhiyuan's room.

Xiao Man from the Liu Shanling family was among them; upon seeing the dowry gifts Chuxue gave, her eyes were filled with envy.

After the bride was sent out of the house, Liu Xiaoman found an opportunity to approach Chuxue: "Sister Chuxue, my mother has arranged a match for me; the wedding date is set for April. If you have time, come back for the wedding banquet."

Chuxue refused without a second thought: "I'm sorry, my wedding date is also set, on May Day, so I'm afraid I won't have time to come back."

Liu Xiaoman's face turned red: "Ah, I see. It's fine; come back if you have time, and if not, that's okay too."

Just as she wanted to say more, Chuxue was called over by Aunt Liangzi: "Chuxue, how is your mother lately? I was saying she might come back."

Chuxue smiled, looking at the group of aunts and older women following Aunt Liangzi: "It has been snowing these past few days; since she is pregnant, we didn't let her go out."

Someone thought of Xia Qiu and joked: "Your mother and your sister are having babies in the same year; later, the nephew and uncle will be the same age, how interesting."

Hearing this, Aunt Liangzi said: "That's right, I remember your sister's due date is just these few days, isn't it?"

Chuxue nodded: "Yes, after we eat, we will stop by on the way to see my sister."

Soon, not long after the bride left the house, the person in charge shouted: "Everyone find a seat, the banquet is about to begin."

Xiao Fu had also heard their conversation just now and was very concerned about his eldest daughter.

After the wedding banquet, after bidding farewell to the secretary's family, they hurriedly headed toward Guangming Village on the edge of the Northern Suburb Farm.
