1960s: The crazy life after the alchemy furnace became a spirit

Chapter 56 Night Talk
"Okay, stop laughing like that. It's annoying to hear."

Chen Hongxia rolled her eyes. She used to give money to her parents' family, but it was only when they really had problems. However, she said that it was all loans and she would ask them to pay it back after two years. If they didn't pay it back, they would still not pay it back. But there must be an IOU at that time. If her parents wanted to take advantage of her, it depended on whether she agreed.

"Wife, I didn't say anything about you. You are different from others."

Mu Weidong actually doesn't mind his wife helping her family, but if her family is greedy, he really doesn't like it.

"You can go ask Xiao Qin's wife tomorrow what she wants."

When Mu Weidong saw that his wife's face was getting uglier and uglier, he quickly changed the subject.

Chen Hongxia also immediately perked up. Indeed, she would go and ask tomorrow.

"You should also keep an eye on the family compound. If anyone takes the opportunity to stir up trouble, tell me directly."

The army has not been very stable recently. Although they have captured many people, it does not necessarily mean that they are really safe. It can only be said that among the people they captured this time, only these people have given evidence.

Mu Weidong was a little worried, wondering who would be there to pick him up at the family compound.

I hope their family members can withstand the test, otherwise, their men may not be able to stay.

"I know."

Chen Hongxia also noticed that the atmosphere in the army was not right recently. Even several families in the family compound were taken away. Although she didn't know the reason, she didn't go to the hall to hear the news. She knew that there were some things that one couldn't ask about at all, and even couldn't even look at them. Caring too much about them would only cause trouble.

"If there's anyone in the family compound talking nonsense, tell me to send someone to investigate."

Mu Weidong sighed and said that he still trusted his own wife. Others would despise the wives they married from their hometown after getting promoted, but he did not. In his opinion, if a man could not even control his own flesh, it would be better to cut him off directly.

He looked down on those who exchanged their wives for promotion. If those people were under his command, he would not promote them no matter how capable they were.

Chen Hongxia also knew Mu Weidong's personality. He was the kind of person who would not tolerate any injustice. Since he said so, there must be something she didn't know, and this matter was very important.

……

"sister in law?"

When Gu Qingwu saw Chen Hongxia coming to her house again, she didn't know what expression to make for a moment. How could she not know that Chen Hongxia was so free during this period?
"Are you annoyed that I come here too often?"

When Chen Hongxia saw Gu Qingwu's helpless expression, she joked that she didn't take the fact that Gu Qingwu disliked her to heart. Through spending some time together, she also knew that Gu Qingwu was the type of person who didn't like to have too many interactions with others. The main reason she came today was out of curiosity, curious about Gu Qingwu's choice.

"No."

Gu Qingwu came into the room, moved a stool for Chen Hongxia, and poured her a glass of water, sugar water. Seeing Gu Qingwu's performance, Chen Hongxia smiled and sat down and drank the glass of water.

"I came here today because I'm curious about what choice you made when the quartermaster came to see you yesterday?"

After seeing Gu Qingwu sitting down, Chen Hongxia asked directly.

Gu Qingwu looked at Chen Hongxia with surprised eyes, which meant, Sister-in-law, are you really so boring?

Chen Hongxia smiled and nodded, meaning that she was just that boring.

"Nothing much. I asked the quartermaster to give me a certificate and a towel, teacup, washbasin and other rewards."

Gu Qingwu said helplessly. She only realized now that Chen Hongxia didn't dislike gossip, she just showed that she didn't like gossip. Chen Hongxia raised her eyebrows. Her husband was right. Gu Qingwu was smart. The couple were both successful. That was good. Such a couple would not be bullied.

She was relieved.

"Do you know that last night, because the quartermaster came to your house, Ma Chunzhi couldn't stand it again and quarreled with her husband?"

Chen Hongxia knew that Gu Qingwu was not the talkative type, so she lowered her voice and spoke to Gu Qingwu mysteriously. Gu Qingwu raised her eyebrows when she heard the news. She was a little surprised. She thought Ma Chunzhi would directly send someone to the army to make trouble with the leaders.

Unexpectedly, Ma Chunzhi went straight to her man to make trouble.

"She's just a fool. Regardless of whether this job is yours or not, even if it is yours, you earned it with your own abilities. I don't know why she's jealous."

Chen Hongxia said with disdain.

"Sister-in-law, I thought she would go and make trouble with the people in the family compound."

Gu Qingwu did not respond to Chen Hongxia's words, but instead asked about his own doubts.

Chen Hongxia curled her lips.

"If the people in the family compound dare to go to the leaders to make trouble, then their men will not have any good experience. At most, they will just whisper in their men's ears."

Chen Hongxia said with disdain that if they had the courage, she would really look up to them.

They are all bullies at home. I don’t know what they are thinking. They think they are incompetent and don’t want to see others living better than them.

A bunch of idiots.

She was too lazy to deal with these guys.

"In fact, there are still some people who have jobs in the family compound. Some are nurses in hospitals, some are teachers in schools, and some work in supply and marketing cooperatives. But these are either people who are given special care, or they have their own abilities to pass the exams."

Chen Hongxia lowered her voice and said that the family members in the family compound nowadays basically have no ability. They only know how to gossip about family matters all day long and have no abilities at all.

Of course, some girls from the city who got married here also thought about finding jobs, but there were only so many jobs, so they had no choice but to stay at home.

But those people are not good people either.

The only difference between them and the wives of soldiers from the countryside is that they gossip behind their backs or they attack their men. After all, city girls marry soldiers, and those men should have high positions, otherwise they would look down on them, right?

"Sister-in-law, if we dislike you, just don't be so obvious about it, okay?"

What if one day she accidentally lets it slip?
"Hey, what's this?"

Chen Hongxia looked at Gu Qingwu and said with a smile, she never concealed her dislike for someone, and those people knew her temper, so they didn't dare to approach her.

"I'm telling you, you should be careful when you interact with people in the family compound."

Chen Hongxia gave Gu Qingwu some advice. She had seen some people from the city instigating people from the countryside to fight with those people from the city whom they looked down upon or could not get along with.

She's dealt with it a few times.
