Chapter 8 What an ungrateful family!

The people who spoke just now were not only Liu Chuxue, but also her brother-in-law Qiu Shaofeng and Qiu's great-grandmother, an old lady with bound feet, who had just come out of the kitchen.

Grandma Qiu glared at her clueless second granddaughter-in-law: "Even having food to eat can't shut you up. What business is it of yours what your sister-in-law's family is? You better behave yourself."

Liu Xiaqiu had no time to care about her sister-in-law who was swaggering around because of her pregnancy: "Chuxue, what exactly happened?"

Liu Chuxue quickly recounted the events.

Upon hearing that her father's leg injury was serious and he needed to go to the city for treatment, Liu Xiaqiu's voice trembled: "How could this happen?"

Liu Chuxue was afraid that she would get anxious and upset: "Dad's leg injury is quite serious, but it's not incurable. Since it has already happened, we can only deal with it actively."

After listening to her sister's words, she raised her hand and wiped her face with her sleeve: her sister is right, as long as Dad's leg can be cured, it is indeed a bit unlucky for her to be crying like this.

Grandma Qiu came over, leaning on her cane: "Xia Qiu, your sister has come all the way over the mountain, quickly let her sit down and have a bite to eat."

Seeing the goodwill on Qiu's great-grandmother's face, Liu Chuxue couldn't stand the foul words spoken by those troublemakers, nor did she want to cause trouble for the Qiu family because of this meal: "No need, great-grandmother, I have to rush back to the commune health center to replace my mother. I just came to deliver a message to my sister and brother-in-law."

After saying that, he looked at his older sister and said, "Sis, you take care of things at home first, I'm leaving now."

Smelling the aroma of food in the air, and trying to suppress my rumbling stomach, I knew I'd be embarrassing myself if I didn't leave soon.

After leaving the North Suburb Farm, my stomach started growling loudly as I passed the farm's reservoir.

Staring at the fish that occasionally swam by the reservoir, and thinking about the various ways to cook them in later generations, she swallowed hard, her mouth watering.

A cold wind blew by, and she could only sigh longingly at the fish swimming far away.

Thinking of my unfortunate experience, I couldn't help but sigh to the heavens: I just wanted to try gliding, how did I end up in this era of food shortages? It's outrageous, utterly outrageous. I patted my rumbling stomach and comforted it, "Stop rumbling, get through today, and I promise you won't be so badly treated."

Thinking about his plans, he quickened his pace.

Aunt Ge Xiulan's maternal home, Gelizhuang, is separated from Liushu Village by only a river. Since she cannot appear in Liujiazhuang now, she wants to go to Gelizhuang first.

The original owner knew a bit about Ge Xiulan's nephew. It just so happened that the Ge family lived on the edge of the village, which made it convenient for her to act. After all, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle. Perhaps she could find some clues from the Ge family.

When she arrived at the Ge family's house, the village's work whistle blew, and the Ge family members came out of the yard one after another.

I hid behind the woodpile outside and stared for a long time, but I didn't see the culprit come out: Could it be that the guy wasn't home?
Just as he was wondering whether to continue staking out the Ge family's place or go back to town, he heard a voice from the Ge family's house: "Baocheng, why didn't you go to work?"

"Grandma, I have important business to attend to first thing tomorrow morning, have you forgotten?"

"I'll go ask the captain for leave for you later. We can't give anything away before this is done. And once it's done, remember how good your aunt is to you."

"Don't worry, Grandma, I will definitely take good care of my aunt in the future."

"But then again, the Chen family is too ruthless. They clearly wanted to break off the engagement, but they still set a trap for the girl."

"That's not how it works. If the Chen family hadn't wanted to break off the engagement, how could this good thing have happened?"

Liu Chuxue overheard the conversation between the grandmother and grandson and never expected that the culprit was the Chen family, who were engaged to the original owner of the body. They were truly an ungrateful and heartless family.
