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

Chapter 162 He knew this family was disunited.
Su Hongjuan knew that staying out was not an option: "Mom, what are you saying? What do I have to hide from? Shanling has been helping the government demolish houses with Dad these past few days, as you all know. He's not here, and I, a woman, can't help much."

Granny Liu suppressed her anger: "Alright, how much money do you have? Lend it to your elder brother and sister-in-law to tide them over."

"Mom, what you're saying is interesting. We haven't separated the family yet, so where are we going to get the money?"

“Your mother came over a few days ago, and I saw her secretly leave you money. What time is it now? Don’t be so naive.”

"You said it yourself, that money was given to me by my mother, so why should I take it out?"

Old Man Liu, seeing his grandson covered in sweat, couldn't bear to listen to the conversation in the yard any longer: "Alright, Third Sister-in-law, don't you see what the situation is like? You watched Dongzi grow up. As an elder, can't you feel sorry for your nephew?"

Unlike Liu's mother, Su Hongjuan had her son to rely on, so she wasn't afraid of her in-laws causing trouble: "I do want to feel sorry for him, but I have to have the ability to do so. My mother left me a few dollars, but I bought a piece of cloth for Xiaoman yesterday. After all, she's sixteen now, and it's time for her to find someone to marry."

After hearing this, Old Man Liu couldn't say anything more, but Old Woman Liu started cursing: "Such a big thing happened in the family, and instead of thinking about helping each other, you only think about your own little family. You have no conscience at all."

"Sharing the same boat? How can we share the same boat? When there were job openings, did you ever think about the third branch of the family?"

Granny Liu was furious that her third daughter-in-law was becoming more and more difficult to manage: "Your son Lidong is only seven years old. Even if he wanted to, could he do it?"

"If he can't do it, can't our mountain range? But have you ever considered his feelings?"

"Wasn't that something your older brother and sister-in-law did through connections?"

"It's still all about using family money to bribe officials. How come Jiandong is your grandson but Shanling isn't your son? You're really biased to the core. Now you think of sharing the burden with us, but when there are good things to do, you never think of our third branch."

Granny Liu wanted to say something more, but Old Man Liu stopped her: "Alright, say less, I'm going out to borrow money."

Old Liu felt a chill run through him; he knew the family's spirits had broken. He dared not go anywhere else and went straight to the Party Secretary's house: "Third Brother."

When the Party Secretary saw him coming over, he probably guessed why he had come to the house: "Fifth Brother is here, come in quickly."

Old Liu's expression was very unpleasant: "Third Brother, could you lend me thirty yuan?"

The Party Secretary hesitated for a moment: "Wait a minute."

He got up and went inside: "Old woman, give me thirty yuan."

The village secretary's wife naturally overheard the conversation outside: "Honestly, don't you know their situation? When are they going to pay back this thirty yuan?"

That's what she said, but she still took out the key she always carried with her and opened the cabinet: "Why did you have to cause trouble instead of living a good life? Now look what's happened, the family is no longer a family, and the people are no longer human?"

The Party Secretary took the money: "Alright, just say less."

He didn't think his wife was wrong, but it was someone else's business after all. Even if they were from the same clan, they couldn't interfere too much. If they reminded them and they didn't listen, there was nothing he could do.

He went outside and said, "Fifth brother, here you go."

"Third Brother, thanks. I'll pay you back when I've recovered."

"Okay, let's go."
