Chapter 99: I Advise You to Think Twice

"The Shanliang family has turned things around this time. Even if that leg doesn't heal, they won't have to worry about not having a good life."

"Fifth Uncle Liu is probably regretting it so much his intestines are turning green. If they hadn't separated the family, all that money would have had to be turned over to the public."

"By the way, we've only been talking about the eldest Liu branch. How is the second Liu son's leg? Can it really be cured?"

"I don't know. I heard from my old man that there's a cast on his leg."

"Didn't they say it couldn't be cured before?"

"That was the doctor at the commune hospital who couldn't cure it, not that all doctors can't."

"Isn't that Chuxue?"

Everyone looked in the direction the person was pointing: "It really is."

As soon as Chuxue approached, those people surrounded her: "Girl Chuxue, how is your dad's leg treatment going?"

"Thank you all for your concern, uncles and aunts. I was lucky; it wasn't too late, and I met a good physician. However, I'm afraid it will take half a year of rest to recover. In the future, just try to do less heavy physical labor, and it won't affect normal life."

"That's good, that's good."

"Girl Chuxue, how much reward did those people give you today? Tell us all about it."

"You might not believe it if I told you, but I haven't had a chance to look yet. I had urgent matters, so I came out first."

Some didn't believe it, but thinking about it, they had just heard Old Lady Liu scolding, so it was likely she really hadn't had a chance.

Whether they believed it or not didn't matter to Chuxue: "Uncles and aunts, I have things to do, so I'll be going first."

Before they could try to keep her, she was already far away.

Chuxue went straight to the village committee. At this time, those village cadres were likely still there.

Sure enough, the two were inside puffing away, not even bothered by the smoke: "By the way, the city, county, and township have all given rewards. Shouldn't our village also show something?"

"Hmm, you're right. No matter how much, we have to show some gesture. After all, she brought honor to the village."

The village chief sighed, thinking of something: "If the Shangang couple hadn't caused trouble, this 'Advanced Brigade' title would have been ours for sure."

At this time, the branch secretary noticed Chuxue walking in: "Chuxue, why are you here?"

"Grandpa Branch Secretary, Uncle Village Chief, I came to talk to you about something."

"Go ahead, as long as it's something we can help with, we definitely will."

"You also know that our relationship with my grandparents and eldest uncle is very tense now. In order for my dad to rest well, I want to ask if you can re-allocate a piece of foundation for us?"

The branch secretary frowned upon hearing this: "Have you discussed this with your dad and mom?"

Chuxue knew they meant well: "Grandpa Branch Secretary, I'm the one in charge of my family now, and my dad and mom support me."

After thinking for a moment, she decided to tell the truth: "You also know that I received some rewards today. Of course, I haven't had a chance to see exactly how much, but this money is both a joy and a worry for us. I don't know how much trouble it will stir up later."

"I'm thinking it's better to spend the money, so everyone can be at ease."

The branch secretary and the village chief looked at each other, not expecting this girl to be so clear-headed, even thinking of this.

The village chief spoke first: "Do you have a place in mind?"

Chuxue thought for a while: "Is the dirt slope at the end of the village okay?"

The branch secretary and the village chief looked at each other again, both somewhat disapproving.

This time it was the branch secretary who spoke first: "Chuxue, to be honest, you have a good eye, but have you thought about it? To build a house there, just leveling the ground will cost a lot of money. And the slope in front will face soil erosion after rain. If you want to live securely, stabilizing the slope is a big project. I advise you to think twice."
