Chapter 1262 Xiang Bao'er's family comes to express their gratitude
Mr. Xiao wasn't quite aware of these things before, but his elder brother told him that the old man could have moved to the retirement home now, but he was determined to return to his ancestral home. That's why they went to great lengths to renovate the old house, all to make the old man happy: "Alright, what my elder brother says is true."
After a long pause, Xiao's mother said, "Then we should try to get closer to them in the future. We can't let them give all their good things to my brother and your sister."
Mr. Xiao said with disapproval, "The old man sends money and goods to his old comrades who are not doing well every year. In addition, he gave us a lot when we came to the city, and he also renovated the old house on the clan land. Now he probably has very little left. Don't mention such things again."
Before Mrs. Xiao could say anything more, Mr. Xiao had already turned and left.
Chu Xue saw that Xia Qiu had already made arrangements: "Sister, do you need me to go with you this afternoon to handle the household registration and grain ration matters?"
Xia Qiu waved her hand and said, "No need, no need, I've already asked and I know for sure."
Seeing that she was very confident, Chu Xue didn't insist on taking on everything: "Okay, then I'll go back to my mother-in-law's place this afternoon. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to the military family compound."
I bought most of the things this morning, and I'll go back to my in-laws' house this afternoon. Tomorrow I'll go straight back to the military family compound.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the Fu family home, she saw her mother-in-law talking animatedly to someone, gesturing with her hands from time to time.
As Madam Fu was speaking happily, she saw Chu Xue and exclaimed, "Oh dear, it's just like that! My fourth son's wife is here right now!"
Chu Xue was surprised that these people were related to her: "You are Comrade Xiao Chu Xue?"
Chu Xue nodded, looking bewildered, and said, "Yes, it's me."
One of the women, who had a very elegant demeanor, extended her hand warmly: "Hello, Comrade Xiao, I am Xiang Bao'er's aunt. Oh, the aunt of the little girl you rescued in the fishing village before, a close relative."
Chu Xue realized what she meant when she heard her say that: "What's going on here?"
The woman held Chu Xue's hand tightly: "Thank you so much for your daring rescue that day. My family was terrified. By the time we realized what was happening and went to look for you, you were already gone. If it weren't for the newspaper report, we probably wouldn't know where to look for you. After seeing the newspaper, my mother-in-law called us and told us that we must find you and thank you properly."
We found out you had already resigned from the steel rolling mill and were going to join your husband's family in the military. When we got to your house, the gate was locked, so we eventually found your in-laws' house.
But no sooner had he finished speaking than his second sister-in-law, Hao Yanhong, said, "Fourth sister-in-law, you've resigned. You're no longer working at the steel rolling mill?"
Madam Fu frowned slightly and stepped forward to stop the person: "Whatever it is, we can talk about it later."
Although Hao Yanhong was anxious, she could only suppress her excitement and say, "Mom, I understand."
The woman who had spoken earlier realized she might have caused trouble for her benefactor: "Um..."
Chu Xue naturally noticed her unease and nodded with a smile, saying, "It's alright."
After this incident, the woman looked embarrassed and asked the person accompanying her to place all the things she had brought next to Chu Xue: "I am really grateful to you for saving Xiang Bao'er. She is my sister-in-law's only child. On behalf of my whole family, I sincerely thank you for saving her life."
He then bowed deeply to the first snow.
Chu Xue was caught off guard and accepted the bow. She quickly reached out to help the person up, saying, "In that situation, no one could stand idly by. Saving people is an instinct. It's good that the child is alright."
These words deeply moved the visitor, who then showered the person with compliments.
