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

Chapter 1577 Daily Life in the Family Compound

Chu Xue knew what Xiao's mother was thinking without even having to guess.

She wanted people to say that she was generous as an aunt, but she was also reluctant to part with the money she had. So she called her sisters back, just to make them bleed a little.

Although she looked down on what she did, Du Juan was indeed extraordinary to Chu Xue.

Even though she knew her mother was scheming, she couldn't be bothered to argue with her. Even if her mother didn't say anything, she would still do her best to help her cousin.

Besides, my cousin may be young, but she's very shrewd. She already has the compensation she received from her mother, and given her personality, she probably won't accept too much.

Tao's wife came over early in the morning: "Chuxue, I see you still have some bean seedlings left. Are you going to plant them or not?"

Chu Xue pointed to the pond on one side of the yard: "There's only a little left. This morning, Deputy Regiment Commander Gong's wife came over and asked for a few seeds. Do you think that's enough?"

Tao's wife glanced over there and said, "Enough, enough, enough! The bean seedlings I planted today didn't grow well. I transplanted them the day before yesterday, but when I went over to check today, several of them had already died. It's too late to plant more now."

Chu Xue brought over a shovel: "Dig them all up. My seedlings will survive, and this will free up this pond. I'll also sow some spinach. Now that the weather's warmer, we'll be able to eat them in a few days."

Tao's sister-in-law was delighted: "Then I won't stand on ceremony with you."

Taking the shovel from Chuxue, he said as he worked, "It's really strange. No matter what kind of seedlings you grow, they all grow exceptionally well. These seedlings look strong. Yesterday, we were even saying at the edge of the field that if things didn't work out, we would just swindle you out of the seeds. We could just provide the seeds and you could help us grow the seedlings."

Chu Xue laughed: "Sure, it's no big deal. If you're okay with it, I'll help you raise them next year."

As the two were talking, they heard someone call out from outside the gate: "Sister-in-law Fu".

The two turned around and saw Hao Sulan, the wife of the newly promoted Deputy Battalion Commander Su, standing outside. Chu Xue smiled and asked, "Sulan, is something wrong?"

As she spoke, she waved, "Come in quickly." Hao Sulan was a little embarrassed, "Sister-in-law Fu, I need to talk to you about something."

Actually, Hao Sulan was older than her, but because of Fu Yancheng's high position, when Company Commander Su introduced them, he directly asked his wife to call him sister-in-law, and that's how it was. Fortunately, they weren't that far apart in age, so Chuxue just called her by her name.

Hao Sulan, noticing the presence of outsiders, said, "Um, me..."

Tao's wife had already dug up all the rice seedlings: "I need to transplant the seedlings quickly, you guys chat."

After seeing Tao's sister-in-law leave, Hao Sulan spoke up, "Sister-in-law Fu, I heard that your sister-in-law works at the train station?"

Chu Xue didn't know why she asked this: "Yes."

Hao Sulan coughed lightly: "It's like this, my mother came to stay with me for a while a few days ago. We originally agreed that she would go back next month, but I just received a call from my eldest brother saying that my fourth uncle's son is getting married in a few days."

When my mother heard this, she couldn't wait even a day longer and insisted on going back the next day so she could help my aunt sew the quilt for her wedding.

My mom injured her back and can't sit for long periods, so I wanted to buy her a sleeper ticket. But my husband is away on a mission, and when I went to buy tickets today, they said they couldn't buy sleeper tickets without a letter of introduction. I was thinking of seeing if my sister-in-law could help me.

They're all military wives, so it's just a matter of asking a question. However, she didn't take on too much responsibility: "I can call and ask, but I can't guarantee whether it will work out."

Upon hearing this, Hao Sulan quickly thanked her and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, sister-in-law."

After saying goodbye to Aunt Wei, Chu Xue and the two of them went out and headed towards the public phone at the gate.
