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

Chapter 301 I'm not taking sides, I'm just stating the facts.

Liu Shuqin blushed and said, "I was worried about you, so I came to check on you."

"So, did the stuff I gave you come in handy?"

Upon hearing her words, Xiang Qianjin was so frightened that he quickly looked around and pulled her to a tree not far away: "Don't say these things to anyone else. If someone hears them, not only will I be in trouble, but your family will also suffer."

Although Liu Shuqin felt uncomfortable, she still nodded and said, "I remember, and I won't mention that matter again."

Xiang Qian originally intended to go find Liu Shuqin, but he didn't expect her to come first. After mentally rehearsing his words a few times, he looked around to make sure no one was nearby and said, "Shuqin, there's something I want to tell you."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

After considering it carefully, he said, "There were a lot of people taking the exam today, and I was a little nervous. I forgot most of what I had memorized before, so I'm afraid I didn't perform well."

Liu Shuqin was somewhat stunned, and couldn't help but raise her voice: "What did you say?"

Xiang Qianjin was nearly killed by her shout: "Why are you shouting so loudly?"

Liu Shuqin's mind went blank: Oh no! She'd been bragging to everyone these past few days. If she really didn't pass the exam, wouldn't she be laughed at to death?
Moreover, her father went to such great lengths to help him, yet he said he didn't perform well today?

Looking at Liu Shuqin's expression, Xiang Qian knew what he was thinking: "Shuqin, I really didn't mean to. If Liu Chuxue from the village hadn't handed in her paper early, I wouldn't have panicked. And in that panic, I inevitably made a mistake."

When Liu Shuqin heard that it was because of the first snow, she was furious.

She already didn't get along with Chu Xue, and now the feud was even bigger: "I'm not done with her yet."

Seeing her like this, Xiang Qian breathed a sigh of relief: "She finished the test so quickly, could it be that she also found someone to help her, like us?"

Liu Shuqin was even angrier now: "If it's really as you guessed, if she gets selected, I'll ruin it for her."

Looking ahead, he realized he had achieved his goal, a triumphant glint in his eyes.

Time flew by and it was afternoon. Urged on by her mother, Chu Xue arrived early at the village school to wait for the results. She had said she wasn't in a hurry, but it turned out she couldn't escape it.

But Liu's mother disagreed, saying, "That's not the same. If the principal sees that you don't take this exam seriously, he might have a bad impression of you. Anyway, you don't have anything to do at home, so you might as well go there early and wait for the results."

Unable to resist her mother's urging, Chu Xue simply went out.

As soon as she stepped outside, she bumped into Liu Zhiyuan, who was preparing to go up the mountain: "Yuanyuan, are you going up the mountain?"

Liu Zhi jogged a few steps to Chu Xue and asked, "How did your exam go this morning?"

Chu Xue smiled lightly and said, "I think it's alright. I was just about to go to the village school to wait for the results."

Liu Zhi glanced towards the village school and said, "My grandpa went there after dinner. You studied so well before, you're sure to get in."

"Then I'll lend you some good advice."

They chatted for a few more minutes before parting ways.

When the first snow arrived at the village school, there were already quite a few people waiting there.

Upon seeing her, some people whispered among themselves, "I heard she's not dating anymore, she's about to get married, and she's still competing with us for a teaching position at the village school."

“Watch your words. We educated youth from other places can participate, let alone the locals.”

"Why are you siding with outsiders? Whose side are you on?"

"I'm not taking sides; I'm just stating the facts."
