Chapter 1263 If you think it sounds awful, then don't do things that are annoying.
After exchanging pleasantries, there was a back-and-forth of polite refusals, and naturally all the gifts were kept.
Before leaving, the woman left a note for Chuxue: "Comrade Chuxue, our family will always remember this kindness. If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, as long as you don't violate the rules and as long as it's within our capabilities, we will definitely do our best to help you."
After another round of pleasantries, they finally saw the person off.
Chu Xue then realized that appearances can be deceiving; the little girl she rescued from the sea was actually from an extraordinary family.
Thinking of Qi Shufang, I couldn't help but twitch my lips. She really knew how to court death.
Meanwhile, Qi Shufang, looking utterly dejected, was riding in a dilapidated Liberation truck to a frontier farm. Even Qi's mother had given up on saving her this time, because the Qi family had also been implicated in the incident. If it weren't for Old Master Qi swallowing his pride and begging, the whole family would probably have been exiled to a remote place.
This time, Qi Xiuyan, Qi's cousin, was not spared either. After all, he had interfered in Qi Shufang's affairs before, and his promotion, which was about to be in his grasp, fell through, causing the two branches of the Qi family to fall out completely because of this.
Suddenly, the Qi family became the laughing stock in the compound. Everyone used Qi Shufang as a negative example to warn their children to think twice before acting.
Because of this incident, the Qi family also moved out of the compound and into a tenement.
What Chu Xue didn't know was that Qi Shufang and the Qi family's affairs, as well as the schemes of Chu Hengyue, who had come to the Fu family a few days ago to deliver a reward and met the Jiao family's daughter-in-law who was staying in the courtyard, were all related to this. Qi Shufang was the Hong family's cousin who had stolen food from the Jiao family's silly girl. Because of Qi Shufang's theft, Chu Hengyue's sister, who had married into the Hong family, was blamed. Not only was she beaten by her mother-in-law, but she also miscarried within a few days. This grudge was no small matter.
Before he even got back, he called to investigate Qi Shufang's background. After learning about her situation, he intervened and sent Qi Shufang directly to the northern frontier, thus avenging his sister. He really brought trouble upon himself.
After Fu's mother and Chu Xue saw the person off and entered the courtyard, they saw Hao Yanhong circling around the gifts.
Madam Fu's face darkened immediately: "These were all given to the fourth son's wife by others. Don't you dare try to take them."
Hao Yanhong, however, said with a grin, "There's so much food, even Fourth Sister-in-law can't finish it all. My Jinze..."
Before she could finish speaking, Chu Xue said bluntly, "I'm pregnant now, and these things are just right for me to nourish my body. They're really timely."
Upon hearing this, Hao Yanhong muttered, "How can you, an adult, eat alone? You're getting more and more stingy."
Chu Xue didn't respond to her words. They had already separated their households, and she wouldn't give away anything just because of her words. Besides, even if she gave away her things, she probably wouldn't be satisfied and wouldn't be indulged.
He handed some of the food to Fu's mother, saying, "Mom, keep these for you and Dad to eat; they'll help you recover."
Fu's mother quickly reached out to stop them: "You're pregnant now, how can we take things from the baby? Besides, this is a thank-you gift for you risking your life to save someone, I don't want anyone to have the nerve to covet it."
Hao Yanhong couldn't listen anymore: "Mom, what you're saying is too awful."
Fu's mother didn't care what she thought; "If you think it sounds awful, then don't do things that are annoying."
Hao Yanhong was still concerned about Chuxue's job and didn't want to continue talking to her mother-in-law, so she changed the subject: "Fourth sister-in-law, that woman just said you resigned. Is that true? Do our parents-in-law know about this?"
Chu Xue laughed directly: "Second sister-in-law, we have already separated our households."
