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

Chapter 1659 I'm not just saying sweet things, it comes from the bottom of my heart.

Duan Ruirui took a deep breath before saying, "It seems that her husband had an affair with her boss's daughter because of an accident."

Anyway, she meant well and tried to save someone, but somehow things got messed up. You know Kunlan's personality; she said she wanted to come back and stay for a while, to let everyone clear their heads.

Duan Ruirui glanced outside: "I overheard this. The day before yesterday afternoon, I went out on a special trip and called Kunlan. She said she would talk about it when she returned to Beijing."

Chu Xue hadn't expected this to happen, but since she hadn't seen the person, she couldn't offer any opinion: "Let's talk about it when we see her."

As the two were talking, Aunt Zhang Haitang walked in: "Freshly fried dough cakes, you should try them."

Duan Ruirui smiled and took the bowl: "Mom still loves me the most."

Chu Xue observed the interaction between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and exclaimed, "Look at those sweet words!"

Duan Ruirui rolled her eyes at her: "I'm not just being sweet-talking, it's from the bottom of my heart."

She wasn't lying. Her mother passed away early, and afterwards, various things happened in the family, making her relationship with her family quite delicate. After marrying into the Xiao family, her mother-in-law was a straightforward person who would say everything openly and treated her very well.

So, in return, she would occasionally give her mother-in-law a little surprise. Over time, the relationship between the two women became like that of a mother and daughter, which even made her cousin a little jealous.

Auntie Duan was a kind-hearted person. After learning about Duan Ruirui's family situation, she not only did not look down on her, but also thought of her in every way. With these two good people working together, their relationship was naturally very good.

After watching them each eat two, the aunt took her bowl and left, saying, "You two chat, I'll go help in the kitchen."

After watching her mother-in-law leave, Duan Ruirui said, "Chuxue, I am very happy now. And when I went back to my parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year, my father drank too much, and I realized how much he had suffered these past few years."

Chu Xue saw her eyes redden instantly and felt a pang of heartache as she pulled her hand over. She then heard her say, "My dad got drunk and talked about what happened to my mom back then. Apparently, my mom was on her way to buy ingredients to cook for me when the accident happened. My dad never told me about it, but he resented me."

"Don't you think I'm incredibly unfilial? It took me so long to find out that my mother's death was related to me. All these years, I've been so carefree and foolish, only knowing how to eat."

Chu Xue patted her hand: "This is not your fault. It's just that fate is playing tricks on you. Live your life well, and that's the best way to repay your mother."

Duan Ruirui choked up and said, "When my dad was drunk and talking nonsense, he said the same thing, but when he turned around and went back to his room, he burst into tears and cried until he fell asleep."

I'm probably the only one unaware of what happened to my mother. Otherwise, my older brothers wouldn't always try to cause me trouble. They probably resent me too. If I hadn't been so greedy, my mother wouldn't have gotten into this mess.

When Aunt Xiao came in, she saw her fourth daughter-in-law crying: "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

As she spoke, she quickly pulled a handkerchief from her pocket: "Stop crying, it's not over yet, we should be happy every day."

As she spoke, she began to wipe away Duan Ruirui's tears.

Thinking of something, she half-jokingly said, "This handkerchief is clean. I washed it but haven't used it yet. You don't have to worry that I used it to wipe my nose and now I'm wiping your tears."

Tears were welling up in her eyes, but her mother-in-law's words made her laugh.

Even Chu Xue couldn't help but shudder at the thought of that scene.
