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

Chapter 1149 Return
The first snowflake mimicked the locals' tone: "It's all thanks to Mazu's protection."

Grandpa Afu paused for a moment, then laughed. After all, although everyone thought that, no one dared to say it out loud.

Thinking of the little girl who fell into the water today, and then thinking of Qi Shufang, Chu Xue asked seemingly casually, "Grandpa Fu, what's the situation with that little girl who fell into the water today?"

Before Grandpa Afu could speak, his grandson, who was sitting at the bow of the boat, said, "Xiang Bao'er is Aunt Shuying's daughter, and that wicked woman is her stepmother."

Grandpa Afu glared at his grandson but did not refute: "Xiang Bao'er is the granddaughter of Grandma Qi in the village. Her mother is the daughter of Grandma Qi, who was pregnant with a pearl. She has four older brothers and was pampered by her family since she was a child. Later, she married into the town. It's just that Shuying was unlucky. Last winter, she went to the city on business and had an accident."

In early spring, Grandma Qi's son-in-law came over and said that someone had introduced him to a girl so that someone could take care of Xiangbao'er. Sigh, you probably saw that girl today; just looking at her, you knew she wasn't an honest person.

At this moment, Grandpa Afu's grandson interjected, "Xiang Bao'er fell into the sea today. Wasn't it that woman's scheme? Ali and the others saw it clearly. That woman threw Xiang Bao'er's most treasured glass bead onto the beach where the waves had just receded, and told Xiang Bao'er to go and pick it up herself. That's how Xiang Bao'er got swept into the water by the waves."

Before they could finish speaking, the boat had already docked. After what had happened that morning, Chuxue didn't dare delay their return journey, fearing that the sea might become unpredictable again.

Grandpa Afu asked his grandson to help Chuxue move her things to the corner of the building in front of the dock. Chuxue's reason was that she shouldn't get in the way of others, as someone would be coming to pick her up soon.

After watching Grandpa Fu and his grandson leave the shore by boat, he threw a paper bag containing two ounces of White Rabbit milk candy onto the boat. Two ounces of White Rabbit candy is only about twenty pieces: "Thank you for bringing me here. These candies will sweeten your mouths on the way."

Afu saw his grandson's eyes light up at the mention of candy, and not wanting to say no or return it, he said, "Young lady, come again next time you have the chance, and I'll have the women in the family make you something delicious." Chuxue smiled and waved to them, "Okay."

Watching the ship sail away, she hurried back to where she had left her things. Although she had been watching the area closely and no one had appeared there, people not far away had been glancing in her direction quite often. In this day and age, it's always better to be cautious.

She avoided the staff in the distance and quickly walked towards the corner where things were piled up. After confirming that it was safe, she put everything except the woven bag of dried seafood and the small basket of fresh seafood that she had prepared in advance into her space.

Taking advantage of the staff leaving, she quickly picked up her things and left, afraid that people would come to check out out of curiosity and cause her trouble.

The pier is not far from the bus station. She had already asked before she arrived, and there was another bus at 3:15. If she went now, she could catch it.

She was strong and carried all the things to the destination in one go. When she arrived, there were already quite a few people in the car. The driver was tying luggage to the roof. When he saw her about to carry her things onto the car, he stopped her and said, "Hand over your luggage. It takes up too much space in the car."

She naturally had no objections, but still reminded him, "Master, the basket is filled with fresh seafood, could you please arrange a suitable spot for it?"

The driver, probably used to this, said, "Don't worry, I'll make sure you put it away properly."
