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

Chapter 163 Dongzi's reputation is ruined.

The Party Secretary's wife, who followed him out, looked displeased: "You just got back, and he comes to borrow money right after. How can he have the nerve?"

"Alright, Dongzi is injured like that, how can he not be taken to the clinic?"

"If you ask me, he deserved it. Would he have gotten into trouble if he hadn't had those crooked thoughts?"

The Party Secretary fell silent. What his wife said was indeed true. Everyone knew what Dongzi wanted to do today. He didn't believe that the eldest son and his wife wouldn't know about it, yet they let him do it. It was truly despicable.

When Old Man Liu returned to the gate, Liu Jiandong had already been lifted onto the mule cart. He handed the borrowed money to his eldest son and said, "Don't delay, hurry up and go."

Liu Shangang had previously driven a mule cart to the county to collect manure, but he didn't cherish the animals, so Liu the One-Eyed from the animal husbandry farm came along, fearing that he might hurt the mules again in his haste.

Even after the mule cart left the village, the crowd of onlookers had not dispersed: "That Liu Jiandong really deserved it. If he had actually succeeded, the second wife would have been furious."

"Indeed, not only did he harm his own cousin, but he also tried to steal her money. This kind of person is truly heartless."

"Let's stay away from them from now on, so we don't get tricked by them one day."

"Dongzi's reputation is ruined. He could say it had nothing to do with Chuxue before, but this time, he stole something. He seemed like a good kid, how could he do such a thing?"

"It was all because of the Ge family that they forced us to do it."

“You’re not right either. If the Shan Gang family hadn’t schemed against others first, the Ge family wouldn’t have come to cause trouble. Speaking of which, Ge Baoyang is quite wronged. He was just following his aunt’s orders, but now he’s become a criminal.”

"That's true. Ge Xiulan has really caused a lot of trouble. Don't blame Du Erya for coming to make trouble. No one would be magnanimous in this situation."

"That's right, Ge Baocheng already had a hard time finding a wife, and now he's probably going to be a bachelor forever."

While they were still discussing it, the first snow had already arrived at the new house.

When Liu's mother saw her coming, she asked, "What exactly happened?" Chu Xue took the basket from Liu's father's hands and asked, "It's finished weaving so quickly?"

Mother Liu said impatiently, "Why don't you tell me already?"

"It's nothing, it's just that the eldest son's family wanted to steal money from your room, but Liu Jiandong was unlucky and fell out of the back window, knocking out two front teeth and injuring his leg as well."

My grandfather disregarded his pride and borrowed money from the village secretary, but I don't know how much he borrowed.

When Mr. and Mrs. Liu heard this, they felt terrible. They had clearly been wealthy, yet their parents had said such disheartening things.

Now that Dongzi is in trouble, he can go out and borrow money from people?
"Alright, don't overthink it. Now that we've separated, and you're both so reliable and capable, things are bound to be good for you in the future."

"If it weren't for their ruthlessness, you probably wouldn't have had the chance to live in this brick house. You should be content; after all, you can't have it all in one life."

Mr. Liu nodded: "My daughter is right."

He figured it out: if he wasn't destined to have a son, he would find a son-in-law in the future, and he was sure he would live a good life.

Then Liu's mother remembered the important matter: "Have you finished your business?"

Chu Xue nodded: "It's all taken care of. They even gave me a hundred yuan as compensation because of Comrade Fu. So the matter of my father's injury is considered settled."

When Liu's mother heard that she was given a hundred for free, her face was full of smiles: "Is there really such a good thing?"

Seeing that she was happy, Chu Xue didn't say anything to spoil her mood: "I'll give you the money when we get back."
