Chapter Twenty-Eight: Fu Qingye Returns to Xinchuan County to Save People!
Uncle?
She actually agreed to acknowledge him?
"You Rong family members are all a bunch of despicable scoundrels! If it weren't for your Rong family members switching me out, how could things have turned out like this!"
"I am ashamed to be associated with you! I may change my surname to Rong, but I will never be the Rong of your Rong family! I will never return to the Rong family in this lifetime!"
The words he spoke so confidently back then still seemed to echo in his ears. The eldest son of the Rong family never imagined that Rong Nanxi would one day call him uncle.
The eldest son of the Rong family was stunned.
Rong Nanxi noticed the gaze of the eldest son of the Rong family and touched her nose somewhat uncomfortably.
In her past life, she couldn't accept the Rong family, firstly because the gap between the Rong and Lu families was too great, and secondly because Rong Nanxi couldn't accept that her biological parents were the culprits who switched her babies!
Even if she were the beneficiary, she couldn't accept it!
With parents like this, what good people can the Rong family possibly have?
That was Rong Nanxi's idea back then.
But after being reborn, Rong Nanxi's thoughts changed.
If the Rong family members were like one's own parents, why would the Rong grandparents feel so guilty about their mistakes that they committed suicide by poisoning themselves to atone for their sins against the Fu family?
After Grandpa and Grandma died, the eldest and second uncles would not say that they blamed them for killing Grandpa and Grandma, but they would still secretly send them a lot of money to keep them safe.
The Rong family, apart from their biological parents, are all good people!
"Uncle? Can I charter the entire oxcart?"
Without the slightest hesitation, the uncle immediately agreed: "Sure, sure!"
After saying that, he stuffed two yuan into Rong Nanxi's hand: "No need to charter a car, you can take a ride!"
Then, hesitantly, he added, "My own car!"
Seeing that Rong Nanxi's expression remained unchanged, the unease in Uncle Rong's eyes dissipated considerably. It was a good thing that Xi'er was less resistant to the Rong family!
When my parents come back in a few days, I'll have to have a good talk with them.
Rong Nanxi didn't answer. "I need to charter a car! Even brothers should keep clear accounts! How can I take advantage of my uncle? Besides, I'm going to kick her out!"
Rong Nanxi pointed at Liu Shuhua, her voice cold and stern.
Liu Shuhua immediately objected, "Why should I get off the bus? I got here first! Besides, Rong family eldest son, I gave you two cents! You should be the one chasing away that little bitch Rong Nanxi!"
A hint of displeasure flashed in Uncle Rong's eyes. No matter how bad Rong Nanxi was, she was still a member of the Rong family. This widow Liu was really going too far!
Thinking it over, Uncle Rong immediately took out three mao (0.3 yuan) and returned it to Liu Shuhua, saying, "Including the mao you paid for the bus fare, that's three mao in total. Keep it safe! Get off the bus!"
"Hey, here's another dime for you!" Uncle Rong handed Liu Shuhua another dime and told her to find a ride herself.
Liu Shuhua was displeased and started yelling at the top of her lungs: "You, Rong Datie, we're from the same village, and you made me wait for ages. You just say you won't take me anymore, what gives you the right?"
Normally, these private oxcarts are enough to carry enough people. Liu Shuhua and the others had been waiting for half an hour, but they were about to be kicked off the cart, so they were naturally indignant.
Rong Nanxi sneered: "That's right, we're all from the same village. You think my uncle won't pull me if I say I can't?"
Rong Nanxi leaned closer, staring into her sharp eyes, and curled her lips: "Aunt Liu, have you ever heard of 'you reap what you sow'? You deserve it!"
"What's with all this talk about whether I'm convinced or not? I'm not one of you cultured people with so many tricks up your sleeves! Anyway, if you, Rong Datie, dare not pull me away today, I'll go and complain to the village chief!"
As Liu Shuhua spoke, she reached out and pulled at Rong Datie, "Did you hear me?"
Uncle Rong, being a grown man, naturally couldn't act like a shrew and get entangled with Liu Shuhua, so he just tried his best to move his body backward.
Rong Nanxi stepped forward and grabbed Liu Shuhua, forcibly prying her fingers apart.
"If Aunt Liu wants to keep riding, it's simple. Just pay two yuan to charter the oxcart, and I won't fight you for it!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Shuhua immediately broke down.
"What? Two yuan for a chartered car? You're a thug!" she said, turning to the others in the car. "Aren't you going to say anything? Aren't you afraid this bitch will kick you all off the bus after chartering it?"
Before anyone else in the car could speak, Rong Nanxi said, "No! I chartered this car just to target you! Everyone else can still ride!"
With just one sentence, everyone else instantly returned to their spectator mode.
Liu Shuhua looked at Rong Nanxi incredulously: "You spent two yuan just to make me walk back? You're such a spendthrift! The Fu family is really unlucky to have a daughter-in-law like you!"
Fu Qingchen, who had been watching the show, was slightly on guard.
"I'd like to, Aunt Liu. Don't waste any more time, go downstairs!"
Rong Nanxi pulled Liu Shuhua off the bus.
Along with it came Liu Shuhua's luggage.
Liu Shuhua glared angrily at Rong Nanxi, but Rong Nanxi ignored her. After loading a large bag of clothes into the car, she immediately told her uncle to start driving once Fu Qingchen got in.
Once the vehicle had driven far away, Liu Shuhua reluctantly turned her gaze away, preparing to take another oxcart back. Even an oxcart from a nearby village would be better than carrying her own two legs back, since she had bought so many things!
But when I turned around, the yard that used to have several oxcarts was now empty.
The vast open space was left with only a few scattered people and herself.
“Um, Comrade Rong, isn’t it a bit inappropriate to leave Aunt Liu alone? It’s getting dark, what if something happens to her on the way…”
Liu Huaxue looked worried.
Rong Nanxi immediately understood. "Does Liu Zhiqing want to go down and keep Aunt Liu company? Liu Zhiqing is truly kind. Here's what we'll do: I'll have Uncle stop the car, and you can get off and go keep Aunt Liu company!"
As she spoke, Rong Nanxi was about to call him "Uncle".
Liu Huaxue panicked and quickly stopped him, saying, "Comrade Rong is joking. I was just asking, just asking..."
Rong Nanxi's smile faded. "It's better for Liu Zhiqing not to meddle in things that aren't her business!"
Liu Huaxue smiled, lowered her head, and didn't say anything more, but her clenched fists revealed her turbulent emotions.
Rong Nanxi glanced at Liu Huaxue indifferently.
If Liu Shuhua could charter a car so Rong Nanxi could walk back by herself, then she could naturally charter a car so Liu Shuhua could walk back too!
If something really happens on the road, it's Liu Shuhua's own fault!
Because that was probably what Rong Nanxi was supposed to go through!
Fu Qingchen glanced at Rong Nanxi, then at Liu Huaxue, a lazy smile playing on her lips as she sat with her arms crossed.
Meanwhile, the county public security bureau.
Fu Qingye was fidgeting, and Zhang Chenggong quickly handed him a bottle of mineral water: "Brother Ye, are you thirsty?"
Fu Qingye didn't take it, but Zhang Chenggong forced it into Fu Qingye's hand.
"Brother Ye, don't worry, they'll let us go once they've finished their business here!"
Fu Qingye knew this, but seeing that it was getting dark outside, he felt inexplicably anxious.
"Brother Ye, what kind of punishment do you think we'll face if we can't get back on time? We can't go to a military court, can we?" As he spoke, Zhang Chenggong suddenly grabbed Fu Qingye's hand, his face full of affection.
"Brother Ye, promise me, if we really have to go to a military court, you have to pin the blame on me! Just say that I kidnapped you, which prevented you from taking the train back on time!"
Fu Qingye sighed and shoved Zhang Chenggong aside, saying, "There was a reason for what happened today, so the higher-ups won't blame us too harshly."
Zhang Chenggong scoffed and sat down next to him. "Brother Ye, you're so boring. Can't you cooperate with me?"
He knew, of course, that there was a reason for it and that the higher-ups wouldn't blame him, but... Ye Ge was just too boring.
Just then, Li Yuting, the captain of the public security brigade, walked in and gave the two men a standard military salute.
"Battalion Commander Fu! Deputy Company Commander Zhang! We've kept you waiting! Your identities and statements have been verified. You may leave now!"
"Oh, thank you so much, both of you! This group of robbers is extremely mobile and has been rampant along that passenger route for quite some time. Thanks to you, they've finally been caught!"
Before he could finish speaking, Li Yuting felt a blur before his eyes. When he looked back inside, all that was left was Zhang Chenggong staring at him with a bewildered expression.
Li Yuting: "Where's Battalion Commander Fu? Wasn't he just here a moment ago?"
Zhang Chenggong: "That's right, you said it yourself, just now!"
Li Yuting: "..."
