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

Chapter 157 Overhearing the Conspiracy
After Liu's mother finished speaking, she pointed to Fu Yancheng and said, "Comrade Fu is going back to the city anyway, so he can give you a ride."

This is what Chu Xue just said: once he finishes his business, Fu Yancheng doesn't need to go back; he can just return to the city.

Upon hearing that he could ride in a grand car again, Liu Cunyi's expression was truly unbearable to look at: "Okay, when do we leave?"

Chu Xue dusted off the corner of her clothes and said, "I'll go back and get the reimbursement voucher. You guys wait for me at the village entrance."

After saying that, he instructed Liu's father and mother, "Don't go back to the old house before I return."

Mr. Liu knew his daughter's worries, and he also knew that if something really happened, he couldn't protect his wife: "Don't worry, we'll wait for you to come back and pick us up, and then we'll go back to the old house together."

Liu's mother nodded in agreement.

Seeing that they had taken his words to heart, he exchanged a glance with Fu Yancheng before running towards the old house.

Actually, the items were in the space, but she wanted to go back and check on the situation at the old house.

Liu Shangang had been mistreated here, and she didn't know what kind of trouble the old house was going to cause. She was thinking of going back to find out.

Unexpectedly, she actually overheard the eldest son's conversation: "You two grew up together as brothers, and the second son really wants to cut ties with you forever? That's really heartless of him!"

Chu Xue couldn't help but purse her lips. "Listen to what you're saying. No normal person would say something like that."

Just as she was about to enter the courtyard, she heard Ge Xiulan continue, "What do we do now? You know my sister-in-law; she won't give up until she gets the money."

As he spoke, the hand he used to treat Liu Shangang's injury became a little heavier.

Then there was a 'smack' sound: 'Could you fucking go a little easier on me?'

After the first snowfall, Chu Xue went into her house and walked around, putting away all the important things before locking the door and leaving.

Just as they reached the door and were about to head towards the village entrance, they heard Ge Xiulan say, "There's something wrong with the windows in the second house. The third brother and his family never fixed them when they lived there. Since they're so heartless, don't blame us for being ruthless too." Chu Xue naturally understood what she meant; she had been on guard against them for a long time.

However, if they actually dare to do that, they shouldn't blame her for ruining their reputation even more.

After walking for a while, she made a special trip to the village secretary's house: "Secretary, are you home?"

"First Snow, what brings you here?"

"I need your help with something."

"What's the matter, you say?"

"Here's the thing, over at the new house, the main house is going to be tiled, but as a farming family, we inevitably need to dry some grain in the autumn, so we're thinking of using coal ash to roof the side rooms and the south room."

But we didn't know there would be a division of the family and the severing of ties before, and we never thought about building a house, so we were completely unprepared. These four side rooms and two south-facing rooms will probably require a lot of coal ash, so we'll have to trouble the Party Secretary to talk to everyone and see if any family has any coal ash they've saved up before, so we can use it first.

After that, it's fine if my family saves it up and pays it back, or you can just calculate it as money directly.

"It's not a difficult matter. I'll go out and ask for you in a bit."

"Thank you so much! I'll buy you some wine later."

The village secretary had no other hobbies but loved to have a drink or two: "Alright, then Third Grandpa will be waiting."

He and Chu Xue's grandfather, Liu Dazhu, were still within the five degrees of kinship. He could even drink the wine offered by his granddaughter. In fact, Chu Xue and the others should call him Third Grandfather. However, most of the villagers in Liushu have the surname Liu, and there are quite a few Third Grandfathers in the village. To distinguish them, the younger generation calls him Secretary Grandfather.
