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

Chapter 34 It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance.

She also took the opportunity to ask an elderly man in the back seat, who spoke with a strong Beijing accent, about the various hospitals in the city. The old man was a very kind person and answered all her questions without reservation. By the time the bus was almost at the station, she had basically gotten all the information she needed.

After thanking everyone and watching them all get off the bus, he said, "Dad, let me carry you off the bus."

Mr. Liu refused, saying, "No need, just support me and I'll move slowly."

At this moment, Liu's mother regretted it a little; she shouldn't have refused her son-in-law's offer to see her off.

Liu Chuxue ignored what he said and walked straight up to him: "That leg that wasn't broken is almost swollen like a bun, and you're still trying to be brave. You know our situation right now, we don't have any extra money."

She said that on purpose, otherwise her father probably wouldn't have listened obediently.

Father Liu raised his hand and lightly pounded his leg: "Lamei, help me up."

He sighed inwardly. His daughter was right. He shouldn't push himself too hard. If he made his leg, which wasn't broken, even worse, it would be a real loss.

Looking at his second daughter's frail body, he felt nothing but guilt.

Liu's mother felt even more sorry for her daughter: "Xue, let Mom do it."

Liu Chuxue quickly raised her hand to stop him: "Don't refuse, the driver will get impatient. Let's get out of the car first."

They were really lucky today. The driver was a very kind person: "Young lady, there are some drivers up ahead. You two sit still and I'll move the car forward a little, so you can save a lot of walking."

The three members of the Liu family thanked them in unison.

As soon as the car stopped, a number of people gathered around: "Do you need a hand?"

Looking around, some of the people waiting for work had handcarts parked next to them, while others had wheelbarrows parked next to them.

The driver, seeing Liu Chuxue carrying people to get out of the car, said, "Don't get ripped off. It'll only cost two cents to take you wherever you want to go."

Liu's mother quickly thanked them. These people had been working here for years and were bound to take advantage of newcomers, but Liu Chuxue didn't tolerate it: "Alright, two cents a day. Anyone else taking the job? If not, I'll just walk a little further."

Seeing that he was an expert, they dared not fool anyone anymore and raised their hands in unison, saying, "Me, me, me."

Liu Chuxue pointed to a middle-aged man standing behind her: "Uncle, you're the one."

The man seemed surprised, pointed to himself, and asked uncertainly, "You're calling me?"

"Yes, that's you."

Having received an affirmative answer, the man quickly pulled up his handcart: "Come on, everyone make way, let me pass."

The man was an honest fellow. After parking his car, he quickly came over to help the man up, saying, "Come on, buddy, put your arm around my shoulder and lend me your strength."

But Liu's father now has one leg broken, and although the other leg is not broken, it has also been affected and is now so swollen that it hurts terribly to take a step.

Seeing that this wouldn't work, Liu Chuxue simply said, "Uncle, you just hold the cart steady, I'll do it."

The man didn't object, assuming they were already skilled at it and were afraid he would get in the way.

Then the girl placed the person on the stone block in front, then bent down and picked the person up horizontally, placing them steadily onto the handcart.

He was so distracted that he almost dropped the carriage shaft. When he came to his senses, he blurted out, "My goodness!"

The other girls standing nearby exclaimed in surprise, "You can't judge a book by its cover! I never expected this little girl to be so strong!"

Not to mention these people, even Liu's parents were shocked: "Xue, you?"
