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

Chapter 1086 An unexpected surprise
Upon hearing his wife's words, Mr. Xiao's face darkened immediately: "The most important thing for a person is to have self-awareness. Stop thinking about such trivial matters in the future."

After saying that, he walked straight into the house.

He had a lot of work to do today, and he's very tired now.

Thinking about what his older brother had said to him yesterday, he felt much better.

Unbeknownst to him, people were gossiping about him behind his back: "What's going on? Why was he promoted to team leader?"

"That goes without saying, he must have connections in higher places. Otherwise, how long has he been here? Who among us is less senior than him?"

"So, let's just leave it at that?"

"How can it be."

"Have you made a plan?"

"They can always find something to use against you."

"By the way, you're just angry. Is your information reliable? Or did you mishear it?"

"How could that be? I heard it clearly. Besides, it should be announced in the next few days."

Mr. Xiao was happy to think that if he were promoted to team leader, he would earn an extra 3.6 yuan per month.

Then, thinking back to what the team leader had told him that morning, he realized that he had earned his position as team leader not because of his older brother, but because of his hard work and dedication every day since he started working.

He initially thought he shouldn't embarrass his older brother, but he didn't expect this unexpected surprise. However, he was not allowed to tell his family before the matter was finalized.

When Chunxiao returned, Zhuifeng was lying at the gate. For some unknown reason, she kicked Zhuifeng.

Zhui Feng, in pain, leaped up and knocked her to the ground before dashing away.

Chunxiao's cry of pain startled her parents inside the house. Her father rushed out first, asking, "What happened? What's wrong?"

Chunxiao was thrown quite hard: "Dad, it was Zhuifeng, it knocked me to the ground."

As Mr. Xiao stepped forward to help the man, he looked around and asked, "Where's Zhuifeng?"

Chunxiao winced in pain and said, "It ran away, knocked me over, and then darted out of the alley."

Mr. Xiao didn't believe that Zhuifeng would bump into someone for no reason: "How did you provoke it?"

Since dogs can't talk anyway, and no one had passed by just now, he still argued, though feeling guilty, "How could I possibly provoke it?"

At this moment, Xiao's mother came over: "What did you just say? That Zhui Feng knocked you over?"

Chunxiao saw Xiao's mother coming over and said, "Mom, we kept a dog in the village because our house was in a remote area. It was there to guard the house. Now that we live in the city, why do we still keep it? Besides, it's lucky that it was me who got hit today. What if it had hit you or someone else passing by?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao's mother felt a chill run down her spine: "What you said does make some sense."

Chunxiao initially liked Zhuifeng, but although the dog was a family pet, it listened to her second sister the most. When she had a conflict with her second sister that day, it even barked at her and bared its teeth.

Listening to their conversation, Xiao's father had a very serious expression on his face: "Zhuifeng has always been well-behaved and has never attacked anyone on his own initiative, let alone his own family."

Chunxiao became anxious: "Dad, what do you mean by that?"

Xiao's mother was afraid that the father and daughter would start arguing again; "Alright, alright, it's really not suitable to keep Zhuifeng in the city. If it were to hit or bite someone one day, it would cause trouble for the family. We should find some time to take it back to the village and see if anyone wants to give it away."

Chunxiao disagreed: "We raised it all these years, how can we just give it away for nothing? We'll ask Grandpa to help us find a family that will at least compensate us. If all else fails, we can sell it as dog meat; someone will definitely buy it."
