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

Chapter 59 Since I have no way to survive, you won't have it easy either.
As soon as I entered the ward, I saw Mr. Liu struggling to move onto the bed. I quickly put down the steamed buns I was holding and went over to lend a hand: "Mom, I bought steamed buns. Could you wipe Dad's hands? You two can eat first."

When Liu's mother heard that she had bought steamed buns, she frowned and tugged at her daughter's sleeve: "Xue, just give your father steamed buns to help him recover. I'll go to the cafeteria and buy some cornbread later."

Liu Chuxue couldn't agree to that, and deliberately said, "We've already bought them, so it's not good to spend money on more. Besides, we usually don't get to eat the big meat buns even if we buy them at home. It's a good opportunity for us to try them out and see what they taste like."

Hearing this, Mr. Liu felt extremely sad: "Honey, our daughter's kindness deserves our indulgence today. From now on, I'll just eat cornbread like you. We'll share this good fortune together, otherwise I won't be able to eat it."

Liu's mother originally planned to leave the bag there, heat it up for Liu's father to eat later, and then go to the canteen to buy a few steamed buns.

But the father and daughter had such a smooth-talking way of putting it that if she were to voice her objections again, it would be rather ungrateful: "Xue, given our situation, from now on..."

Liu Chuxue quickly interrupted, "Mom, I know what you're worried about."

As he spoke, he turned around to cover his tracks and took out the tickets he had exchanged for fish with people yesterday: "Look, these are all the tickets I exchanged yesterday."

I only heard my daughter describe it once yesterday, but seeing it in person now still shocked me: "So much?"

How many fish did her daughter catch to get so many tickets?
Liu Chuxue casually mentioned her thoughts: "If my father doesn't have any special circumstances this morning, I'd like to go to the moat this afternoon. Now that I have the right fishing gear, I might earn even more than yesterday."

Liu's mother had a complicated expression: "How could you possibly have such good luck every day?"

Liu Chuxue didn't explain, because without any external help, what she said was indeed true: "I know, but given our current situation, we can't just wait around."

These words filled the couple with guilt again, and they tacitly agreed with Chuxue's words. As expected, when Chuxue took her own rough porcelain bowl to the boiler room on the first floor to fetch water, Liu's mother quickly found an opportunity to share with Liu's father what Chuxue had said the night before.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu looked on in disbelief: "My second daughter has really struck it lucky."

Just as Liu's mother was about to say something more, she heard a child crying in the corridor outside, followed by a man's voice: "Don't be impulsive, we can talk things over."

Immediately, another woman cried out, "Please don't hurt my son!"

Seeing that her daughter hadn't returned yet, Liu's mother became a little anxious and handed a steamed bun to Liu's father: "You eat first, I'll go to the door and take a look to see why our daughter hasn't come back yet."

Mr. Liu naturally heard the commotion outside and glanced toward the door. Even though he was holding a fragrant steamed bun, he had no appetite at the moment: "Don't go out rashly. Check the situation outside first."

Unfortunately, while the two were talking, the doorway was already completely blocked.

At that moment, Chu Xue was carrying two bowls of water up the stairs. She saw many heads sticking out of the doors of each ward, and in the middle of the corridor, a man was holding a little boy hostage.

Perhaps provoked by something, he retreated while pointing a knife at the people chasing him, saying, "Since I have no way to survive, you won't have it easy either."

Chu Xue recognized the man who had chased after her as Deputy Factory Director Gu from last night. She heard him say, "Cao Xiangguang, you need to think about your family. How did you end up like this? You can't be so stubborn."
