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

Chapter 5: The Schemes of the First Wife

Looking at the simple, honest man on the hospital bed, perhaps due to the original owner's emotions, tears welled up in Liu Chuxue's eyes: "Dad, don't worry, we will raise the money as soon as possible and take you to the city for treatment."

Upon hearing this, Liu's father's eyes dimmed, and he resignedly said, "Xue, let the family decide how to handle this. Don't get involved. Just focus on your studies."

His parents were already unhappy about their three daughters' schooling, and now that he's injured like this, they're afraid his family won't be able to wait even a few months and will use his injury to force the children to drop out of school.

Liu Chuxue neither responded nor refuted: "Dad, Grandpa and Grandma went back and discussed it with the family. I'll go to the North Suburb Farm later to deliver a message to my sister and see if I can borrow some money from my brother-in-law."

Upon hearing this, Liu's father quickly raised his hand to stop him: "Don't mention borrowing money to your brother-in-law, don't make things difficult for your sister."

The eldest daughter's husband's family hasn't separated yet. If she were to ask her husband for a loan, she would likely face difficulties in his family. He can't be so selfish.

Liu Chuxue understood her father's thoughts: "Dad, don't worry, I won't make things difficult for my sister and brother-in-law."

The father and daughter chatted for a few more minutes. Fearing that she would give herself away, Liu Chuxue lied and said that she had to go to the North Suburb Farm earlier.

As for what Ge Xiulan and her niece had done, she hadn't told her parents yet. Being new to the area, she was using this opportunity to test the depths of the Liu family.

Anyway, the people at the school and the health center can testify for her. If Ge Xiulan dares to cause trouble, she will only end up shooting herself in the foot and becoming a clown.

Kong Yizhang would probably have to wait a while before arriving, so she found a secluded spot not far from the post office to sit down, which gave her time to carefully sort through the original owner's memories.

Ge Xiulan, who was working in the fields of Liushu Village, would occasionally glance up at the mountain, trying hard to suppress her excitement, afraid that others would notice her unusual behavior.

Just as she looked up at the mountain for the nth time, her second son, Liu Jiandong, came over and asked, "Mom, how did things go?"

Ge Xiulan looked around to make sure no one was watching, then lowered her voice and said, "Of course it will go very smoothly. You can just wait to go to the city to work as a laborer."

Liu Jiandong said with some concern, "What if that girl finds out the truth and makes a scene?"

Ge Xiulan rolled her eyes at her second son: "Don't worry about it. After tonight, she'll lose her reputation. Even if she knows the truth, what can she do? Besides, who would tell anyone about this?"

In the morning, she suggested that Chuxue go to the farm in the northern suburbs. To outsiders, it seemed like she was thinking of the second wife's best interests, and no one could bring it up.

When the news of Liu Chuxue not returning home at night comes out, it can only be said that she was unlucky.

After it's all done, the eldest son's family will really benefit. Their second son will get a job, their nephew will get a wife for free, and their maternal family can use this to control Liu Chuxue for the rest of their lives. It's a win-win situation, and just thinking about it is exciting.

As for whether that brat's bad reputation would affect her youngest daughter's future marriage prospects, she wasn't worried at all. After all, her youngest daughter's marriage was still four or five years away, and by then, who would remember this matter?

The thought that the second wife's daughters were better at studying than the first wife's children had caused her a lot of gossip in the village, and she had always held a grudge about it.

Now that her second son is injured and can't take care of himself, as long as she puts in a good word with the old couple, she doesn't believe that the two good-for-nothings from the second wife's side can continue their studies.
In this way, the family can not only save some money, but those two brats, Chuxue and Chunxiao, will also have to go home from school to earn work points. Let's see how the villagers will compare the second wife's children with her own children in the future.
