Chapter 147 really gave her face.

Before Chu Xue could say anything more, Uncle Jiu made the decision: "We'll listen to your Aunt Jiu."

Chu Xue quickly spoke up, "That's settled then. It only applies to orders placed before today. Any beds and cabinets that haven't been made yet will have to be charged. Otherwise, what kind of person would I be?"

Aunt Jiu laughed and said, "Alright, alright, I'll listen to you."

After Chuxue left, Aunt Jiu thought of something: "Dad, shouldn't we also tell Shanliang and his wife about this? Chuxue is still just a child."

Uncle Liu also felt that it was a bit ill-considered: "You're right, then let's go over there tonight and take a look at the ridge."

After Aunt Jiu agreed, she said, "I still have more than a dozen eggs saved up, so I can take them with me."

After leaving Uncle Liu's house, Chu Xue ran into people from the county public security bureau after walking only a few steps: "Comrade Liu, we were just about to go to your house to look for you."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xue understood that the matter had likely been resolved: "Comrade, has there been a resolution?"

One of the older police officers said, "Yan Qingshuang from the Chen family was sentenced to one year and six months, and Ge Baocheng was sentenced to one year and three months. They will be transferred to the prison in two days."

She had expected this outcome. After all, the law is not perfect, and she had not suffered any real harm. As long as she was sentenced, her goal would be achieved: "Thank you so much for making this special trip. It's getting late. Have dinner at home before you go."

The older policeman waved his hand and said, "No, no, we still need to tell your village officials that we have to go to Gelizhuang in a while. We have things to do at the bureau and need to hurry back."

Chu Xue didn't insist. She took them to the village committee and then ran home: "Mom, do we have any oil paper at home?"

What do you need oil paper for?

“The police are here. Chen Weiping’s mother and Ge Baocheng have been sentenced. I’ll give those two policemen some dry food so they can have something to eat, otherwise it will be a while before we get back to the county.”

"Really? How long was the sentence?"

"Yes, Yan Qingshuang got a year and a half, and Ge Baocheng got a year and three months."

"Oh, right, Mom, after dinner, take Dad to the new house." As soon as her daughter said this, Liu's mother understood: "Okay, whatever you say."

Now that Ge Baocheng has been sentenced, his family will definitely come and cause trouble.

Thinking of how her daughter was almost harmed by them, anger flashed across her face: "It's only been a little over a year, they really got off easy."

Then I thought about how, if Fu Yancheng hadn't saved Chuxue, who knows how many rumors would have spread.

Even so, it wasn't that no one in the village was talking nonsense. It's just that Fu Yancheng was a soldier, so they didn't dare to go too far. Also, Chu Xue had been commended by the city public security bureau and county leaders, so those rumors didn't spread openly.

She overheard something while washing clothes in the river yesterday: that Chu Xue had been jilted and kidnapped, her reputation was ruined, and no one would want her anymore.

If she weren't afraid of making a scene and really damaging her daughter's reputation, she would have wanted to hit someone.

Chu Xue noticed her mother's expression was off: "Mom, are you hiding something from me?"

She quickly composed herself: "No, what could I possibly be hiding from you?"

"You answered too readily; you must have been hiding something from me."

When Chuxue kept asking, Liu's mother told Chuxue what she had heard by the river: "It's good that you're mentally prepared. Most people in the village are kind, but there are bound to be some gossipy ones."

Chu Xue immediately understood: "Is she Accountant Peng's wife?"

Mother Liu nodded and said, "She's here."

Chu Xue's face darkened: "You're really giving her too much credit."
