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

Chapter 1038 A gift from the elders that cannot be declined
Upon hearing his son's words, Mr. Xiao put down his teacup: "I prepared this myself, how could I have made a mistake? A child's marriage is a major event in their life, but because of my selfishness, I left her with regrets. This is my compensation to her. Moreover, she deserves the most credit for enabling me to find your mother in my lifetime. It's fair to say that this is my reward to her. Let her accept it with peace of mind."

"Dad, does Aunt Miao know about this? Besides, isn't it too much?"

“This is something your Aunt Miao and I discussed. You don’t need to worry about it. Even if we bring this up in the open, no one will dare to say anything.”

Mr. Xiao sensed the old man's impatience: "Dad, I know. Chu Xue is here. Do you want to say a few words to her?"

Before the old man could respond, he handed the phone over.

Chu Xue took the phone: "Grandpa, I heard what you said to Dad. Since it's your kind gesture and my aunt knows about it, then I won't be polite."

Grandpa Xiao laughed: "That's right, you take after your grandmother."

As he spoke, the old man's thoughts drifted away, and he thought of his beloved from his youth.

Seeing his expression, Miao Yiqiu reached out and took the phone: "Chuxue, your aunt has also prepared a small gift, but since it was brought from out of town by someone, it will probably be delivered to you a few days later."

Even the thickest skin felt a little embarrassed at this moment: "Auntie, you've already given me enough, I can't be too greedy."

Miao Yiqiu on the other end of the phone looked appreciative: "It is a gift from an elder that should not be refused. You can accept it with peace of mind."

Miao Yiqiu cared so much about Chuxue because she had seen how good Chuxue had been to her own daughter during this time. This child was loyal and affectionate, so she naturally wanted to repay her.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao's father called out into the room, "Brother Cheng."

Then they heard from inside: "They're here, they're here."

As soon as the man came in, he smiled and asked, "Finished playing?" Mr. Xiao nodded with a smile, "Finished playing."

While handing over the phone bill, he said with a smile, "Chu Xue is getting married next Saturday. Come over for the wedding banquet."

The Cheng couple had heard their neighbors talking about this before, and when they heard the invitation, they said, "You must be there. Uncle, congratulations to Chuxue in advance."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the father and son headed back.

Thinking of his grandfather's words and his wife's actions today, Mr. Xiao was filled with self-reproach and guilt: "Chu Xue, Dad."

Chu Xue knew what he wanted to say: "I understand, you don't need to say anything more. But I want to add one more thing: you'd better not spoil my mom and Chunxiao too much in the future, and you'd better pay more attention to the baby who is due at the end of the month."

Father Xiao did not refute, knowing that Chu Xue was right. La Mei and Chun Xiao had indeed changed a lot after moving to the city, and their vanity was getting stronger and stronger. If they were left unchecked, this family would probably never have peace in the future.

Xiao's mother, who had just made herself a cup of malted milk powder at home to supplement her nutrition, sneezed several times in a row and almost spilled the malted milk powder in the bowl.

Little did she know that this very act had awakened her father, and even after she gave birth to a son, he no longer indulged her as before.

Of course, this is something.

Time flies, and soon it was time for Chuxue's wedding.

Chu Xue kept her word and invited Sister Jiang from the factory to help manage the situation. With the assistance of several good colleagues in the department, and thanks to their eloquence, no one could find fault with them.
