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

Chapter 1093 You're really talking nonsense without understanding the situation. How dare you?
Upon hearing that his daughter was going on a business trip, Mr. Xiao asked anxiously, "How long will you be gone?"

Chu Xue wasn't too sure about this either: "I'm not sure exactly when I'll be back."

Thinking of Xiao's mother's due date at the end of the month: "My mother can't be left alone right now, so please make arrangements in advance."

She didn't suggest either informing her grandfather beforehand to see if they could delay their return to the clan's territory, nor did she mention calling Xia Qiu to ask her to come and lend a hand. In the future, the Xiao family would still have to rely on Xiao's father as the head of the family, so it was best for her to stay out of it.

Mr. Xiao had originally thought that with Chu Xue around, there would be someone to help him with his wife's delivery at the end of the month. But now that Chu Xue suddenly had to go on a business trip, he was a little flustered. However, he knew he couldn't let Chu Xue be uneasy while she was away on her business trip: "I know. You can focus on your work and be sure to be careful when you're out there."

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Xiao looked worried. He thought that he had just been promoted to team leader and there were already some people who were dissatisfied. If he asked for leave now, his boss would probably be in a difficult position.

But Chunxiao is young and inexperienced, and besides, she has to go to school, so it's impossible for her to be with her mother all the time. And her due date is approaching, so someone at home needs to be with her.

On the way back, head down, someone nearby muttered, "Where did he come from? He looks so down, did he get scolded?"

"Why do you care so much? We've gotten scolded a lot because of him. By the way, have you thought of a way to deal with him?"

"You know what, I actually came up with a good idea."

"Come and tell me."

“I know a few guys who run a casino in the south of the city. We’ll find some time to lure him there, let him taste the sweetness of victory, and then we’ll have leverage over him. Let’s see how we manage to destroy him.”

"Will this work? He's never gotten along with us, how could he possibly listen to us and go with us?"

"Don't worry about that, we just won't get involved."

"Then this matter is entrusted to you. I've been eyeing this position for so long, how can I let him take it so easily?"

"Don't worry, once he has a bad record, not only will he lose his position as team leader, we can also kick him out of the team. He'll be in for it then." When Xiao's father returned home from get off work, he saw Xiao's mother scolding their youngest daughter as soon as he entered the yard: "What's wrong?"

Xiao's mother's face darkened considerably. She pointed at Chunxiao and said, "Ask her."

Mr. Xiao frowned and looked at his little daughter: "Chunxiao, what's wrong? Why is your mother so angry?"

Chunxiao looked aggrieved: "All I did was give away some salted fish that my family had pickled, and my mom treated me like a jerk as soon as she got back."

Mr. Xiao frowned even more deeply: "Given away? To whom?"

Chunxiao glanced at Xiao's mother and said, "He's just a classmate."

"Why would a man or a woman give someone a gift for no reason?"

Upon hearing this, Chunxiao became somewhat displeased: "It's a female classmate. Her family's situation is really dire. Her grandmother fell ill a few days ago and just wanted to eat some meat. I, I, I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao's mother turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Mr. Xiao immediately understood what she was going to do and quickly followed her inside: "My meat."

Turning around angrily, she said, "Xiao Chunxiao, do you want to die? Where's my meat? Did you give it away too?"

Chunxiao was genuinely scared at this point, but she still argued, "Your meat is only two ounces, there's no need to get so angry, is there?"

Mother Xiao was furious at her words: "Erliang, you really have the nerve to talk like that! How dare you? It's one thing to give away the salted fish, but at least let your second sister have time to go fishing in Houhai again. That meat was saved up by me. We're out of meat coupons this month. Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
