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

Chapter 19 Just Make a Scene!

But even after the village chief had organized the manpower, Ge Xiulan still hadn't seen her nephew Ge Baocheng. She couldn't help but feel anxious: Could it be that the boy couldn't wait and went up the mountain first?

On the way up the mountain, Ge Xiulan kept ruining Liu Chuxue's reputation: what, a young lady not returning home all night; what, we were confused because of the second son's matter; what, how could we let a young lady climb the mountain by herself; what, if something really happened, how would we explain it to the second wife, what if her future in-laws found out?

The village chief couldn't take it anymore and roared, "Shan Gang's family, can't you shut up? Is this the time to talk about this?"

Seeing that she had achieved the desired effect, Ge Xiulan decided to stop while she was ahead: "Yes, yes, yes, village chief, you're right. Finding people is the most important thing now."

The village chief led the villagers he had gathered up the mountain, but even after they had almost crossed halfway up the mountain and were looking down at the North Suburb Farm, they still hadn't noticed anything unusual.

Now, not only the village chief, but even Ge Xiulan started to get anxious.

Along the way, Ge Xiulan had been searching for her nephew. If he didn't appear soon, she wouldn't know how to explain herself. It wouldn't be right for her to lead people towards the cave.

By then, Liu Chuxue's reputation will be ruined, but getting her to become his niece-in-law will probably take a lot of effort.

While she was still racking her brains for a solution, the village was already in an uproar.

Granny Liu, accompanied by her third daughter-in-law and several grandchildren, stopped her second daughter-in-law, who was going door to door borrowing money: "Zhao Lamei, you shameless thing, you've really been given a lot of face all these years. You can't even have a son, and now you dare to disobey your elders. Who allowed you to come out and embarrass yourself?"

Before returning to the village, Chu Xue had already instructed Liu's mother to just ignore everything and that today's task was to borrow money, divide the family property, and if possible, sever ties with relatives. She was told to make a big fuss.

Rarely do people get to watch a spectacle, so the villagers aren't in a hurry to go to work; they're all gathered around watching the Liu family make a fool of themselves. Meanwhile, Chu Xue, with Xia Qiu's help, finally managed to find the construction site manager and explain their purpose: "Leaders, I know what you're saying is true, but my father's accident happened on the construction site. We understand your difficulties, but my father's leg really can't be delayed any longer."

I believe the leaders are aware of my family's situation. We earnestly request your assistance in helping my father; we will forever remember your immense kindness.

The leaders were somewhat perplexed, but the young woman was right: "How do you want us to help?"

Upon hearing that there was a chance, Liu Chuxue quickly said, "The health center suggested that my father go to a higher-level hospital for treatment of his leg injury. Several leaders should have also received the news."

The people in charge exchanged glances and nodded to the Chuxue sisters.

Liu Chuxue continued, "Yesterday I also went to the county hospital to ask acquaintances for help. After reviewing the medical records, the doctor suggested that we go directly to a large hospital in the city for treatment. However, my grandparents said that the family is in financial difficulty and they are afraid that they cannot afford to pay too much money. If they want to save my father, they can only find a way themselves."

I know that construction sites have their own rules and regulations, but we really don't have a better solution right now. I would like to ask the leaders to be accommodating and see if they can give us a partial advance so that we can take my father to a major hospital in the city for hospitalization.

We'll figure out how to cover the expenses incurred during the treatment period. Once the advance payment from the construction site is used up, we'll bring the receipts to settle the accounts. Is that alright with you?

After hearing Liu Chuxue's words, the leaders huddled together and discussed: "This girl is no ordinary person; she's truly fearless like a newborn calf."
