1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 1027 But she wouldn't take the bait, and there was nothing I could do.

Just as Chu Xue had predicted, as soon as Liu Jiandong returned home, Ge Xiulan greeted him: "How did it go? Did it work out?"

Liu Jiandong said with a stern face, "That brat wasn't tempted at all."

"What? You don't even want small yellow croaker?"

"I was originally thinking of asking her to help me find the Ding family and get the little yellow fish back, but that little bitch won't fall for it, and it will be difficult to find another opportunity."

"But she won't take the bait, and there's nothing I can do."

"Since the scheme won't work, let's just have her help us find Ding Surong."

"You think I didn't think about it? But that brat won't listen to reason, and I even said some harsh words in a fit of anger just now."

Ge Xiulan said with exasperation, "The matter isn't even settled yet, and you've already lost your mind, spouting such harsh words?"

After cursing, he suddenly remembered something: "Go and beg the Party Secretary."

"what?"

"I said I'd go ask the Party Secretary."

"Mom, what do you mean? You know perfectly well that the Party Secretary's family and that brat's family get along well, yet you still want me to go and beg the Party Secretary?"

"What do you know? Just because their two families are on good terms, as long as we can persuade the Party Secretary to speak on our behalf, I don't believe that girl won't help us."

"The Party Secretary doesn't even respect us, how could he possibly help me?"

"It's man-made."

Ge Xiulan glanced outside: "Son, right now, this is the only way we can find Ding Surong. We could have asked Chen's second daughter-in-law, but she's undergoing reform in the Northwest, and even her own father doesn't know her address. It's too far for us to find her now. We can only turn to that brat." "But Secretary, well, let's try anything, even if it's a last resort. Have you thought of a solution yet?"

“The old Party Secretary is a stubborn man, we can’t play tricks on him. We should just tell him the truth. We really want to find someone, but we can’t say what our real purpose is. We should just say that we don’t want to keep dragging this on, and that we need to get to the bottom of things, whether we stay together or leave.”

After thinking about it, Liu Jiandong thought that, given the old Party Secretary's temperament, this method was worth a try.

As they wished, the old Party Secretary, seeing the sincerity in their words, did not directly refuse, but looked at Liu Jiandong with a hint of disappointment: "Since you got married, you have never accompanied your wife back to her parents' home?"

Liu Jiandong's face was grim: "It's not that I don't want to go back to her parents' home with her, it's just that she always makes one excuse or another, so we've never gone."

When the old Party Secretary heard Liu Jiandong say this, a complicated expression flashed across his face: "Alright, I can try to mediate for you, but I can't guarantee whether it will work out."

Ge Xiulan said with a fawning expression, "Thank you, thank you. We are already very grateful for your help. Besides, I believe that as long as you are willing to help us, there is nothing that cannot be done. We may not give face to others, but Chu Xue cannot refuse to give face to you, sir."

Seeing that the old Party Secretary had agreed, Ge Xiulan said anxiously, "Then let's go now."

The old Party Secretary didn't move: "Don't you know what day it is today?"

Ge Xiulan then remembered why the Xiao family father and daughter had returned to the village: "But if we don't go now, how will we see her when we get back?"

The old Party Secretary had heard from his son last night that the Xiao family was going to pay respects to their grandmother, Chu Xue, today, but he naturally wouldn't tell anyone: "I said I'd help you, and I won't go back on my word. You should go back first."

Liu Jiandong wanted to say something, but Ge Xiulan stopped him.

As soon as the mother and son left the old Party Secretary's house, Liu Jiandong said impatiently, "Mom, why did you stop me just now?"

Ge Xiulan glanced back and said, "I know the old Party Secretary's personality. Since he agreed, he will definitely take it to heart. I'm just afraid that you might say something unpleasant in your haste and offend someone. Then you really won't be able to find anyone to help you."
