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

Chapter 55 was truly terrifying!

Although Liu's mother somewhat disagreed, she didn't want her daughter to suffer in the hospital with her, so she could only harden her heart and say, "You decide what to do."

Liu Chuxue finished drinking the water in the rough porcelain bowl, tidied herself up, and prepared to go out to run errands.

As soon as he arrived at the ward door, he saw the husband of the beautiful woman from before walk in carrying a bag. He glanced coldly at the man on the bed near the door, handed over the bag in his hand, and then handed over two receipts in his other hand: "One is a receipt for the fabric purchased from the Friendship Store, and the other is a receipt for the processing fee and accessories fee from the state-owned tailor shop. Together, it costs forty-eight yuan and sixty cents."

These words immediately made the man called Geng Ernian's face darken. He was a level four fitter with a monthly salary of 52.9 yuan. Even if he compensated according to the invoice, he would only have a few yuan left from his monthly salary. Not to mention, he had boasted that he would compensate double. This was really going to kill him.

But in front of so many people, he couldn't go back on his word, so he tentatively said, "Comrade, no one can wear these clothes if I take them back. How about this, I'll have my family wash and dry them and send them to Deputy Factory Director Gu, and I'll also compensate him for the amount on the receipt, as a way to calm that lady down."

The man didn't respond, but instead placed the bag on the hospital bed: "Just pay according to the receipt, no need for double compensation. Since we've taken the money, the clothes are yours. It's your right to do what you want with them, we won't interfere."

He could easily see that this man wanted to use the clothes to curry favor with his brother-in-law; he was really dreaming.

Believe it or not, that's exactly what Geng Ernian thought, it's just a pity that others didn't give him the chance.

Liu Chuxue didn't stay to watch the show anymore. Just looking at the identities of those people, if Geng Ernian were any smart person, he wouldn't dare to delay paying.

She hurried out of the hospital, took the letter of introduction, and went to the state-run guesthouse across the street: "Sister, are there any rooms available?"

The woman was busy with her needlework and didn't even look up: "Single room or dormitory-style bed?"

Without hesitation, Liu Chuxue replied, "A private room."

The woman continued, "A regular single room on the first floor costs 80 cents a night, and the one upstairs costs 1 yuan a night. Which one do you want to stay in?"

Since she had space to back her up, she didn't hesitate: "I want the one upstairs."

The older woman stopped her needlework: "Give me the letter of introduction for registration." Liu Chuxue handed over the letter of introduction, and the older woman glanced at it: "Oh, you're from Willow Tree Village?"

Liu Chuxue was somewhat surprised: "Big sister knows about Willow Tree Village?"

The older woman's attitude improved considerably: "My second brother-in-law is from Gelizhuang, which is next door to you. A few years ago, when his mother was sick, I accompanied my family to visit her."

After registering the information, the woman handed the letter of introduction back to the person in charge, and kindly reminded them, "Keep it safe, it would be a hassle if you lost it while traveling."

Liu Chuxue thanked her and, using her pocket as cover, put the items into her spatial study.

Then the woman continued to ask, "How many nights?"

Liu Chuxue thought for a moment and said, "Sister, please register us for three nights first. If needed, I can extend the fee."

She had other uses for the money in her hand, and she didn't dare to pay for more than ten days' worth of accommodation at once; she didn't want to cause herself any trouble.

After making the arrangements here, she hurriedly returned to the hospital.

When Liu's mother saw her come in, she asked, "Xue, how is it?"

Liu Chuxue nodded to her: "Let's open it for three days first, and then see how it goes."

When Liu's mother heard that it would be three days, she could accept it. She thought that after three days, her husband's condition should be stable. If there were no special circumstances, she would let her second daughter go back to school. The main reason was that she was worried about her youngest daughter at home.
