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

Chapter 717 Why did you change your mind now?

Chu Xue saw that she was still trying to dodge the question: "Chunxiao, I'm not your mother. I know your situation very well. If you had listened attentively in class, would you need someone to tutor you?"

"Second sister, what do you mean by that?"

"Whether you actually go to tutoring or not, you know in your heart. I told you last time, you need to use your own brain to think about what others say, don't let others lead you by the nose."

Seeing that Chunxiao didn't speak, she continued, "You know what's wrong with Mom right now, so why did she come back so late?"

"Second sister, what you're saying doesn't make sense. Eldest sister is married and you work in the city, so it's my right to come back and do all the housework."

"Liu Chunxiao, I really don't know if your brain is just for show. Can't you see that the people who instigated you have bad intentions?"

"Don't talk nonsense, who started this instigation?"

"Fine, since you won't admit it, you'll regret it one day."

The argument between the two sisters was naturally overheard by Liu's father and Fu Yancheng, who were outside the gate.

Suppressing his anger, Liu's father said, "Sit here for a while, I'm going to see your seventh grandfather."

Fu Yancheng nodded at him: "Okay."

Liu's mother kept talking to Dujuan in the main room, and she would shed tears from time to time.

Chu Xue didn't want to continue talking to Chun Xiao, so she went into the main room: "Mom, you must be tired after a long day. Get some rest. I just finished tidying up my sister's room. My cousin can stay in her room."

Mother Liu was indeed a little sleepy, so she personally took Dujuan to the room reserved for her eldest daughter and took a new towel from the cabinet: "I'll fetch some water later and wash her up so she can sleep more comfortably."

Just then, Chuxue brought over some diluted water: "Dujuan, let me scoop some water into the basin for you. After you wash your face, pour the water into the basin below to wash your feet. Then splash the water against the base of the courtyard wall." After taking Liu's mother back into the house and helping her fetch water, she left the courtyard.

Fu Yancheng had stayed at the Liu family's house before, and there were his belongings in the house, so Chuxue didn't need to bother with them. After cuddling for a while, the two of them went back to their respective rooms to fetch water.

After everything was packed up and everyone was about to go back to their rooms, Liu's father entered the courtyard: "I asked the team for leave, and I'll go up the mountain with you tomorrow to collect firewood. I've also borrowed a cart from the village, so everyone can have an easier time."

Chu Xue glanced at Fu Yancheng: "You have a lot of influence. It's really not easy to get someone who always earns full work points to take leave."

These words made Liu's father feel embarrassed: "We have to get up early tomorrow, you should all go and get some rest."

While they were enjoying themselves, things were far from peaceful at the old house: "Old man, are you tossing and turning like this, not letting anyone get any sleep?"

"I heard that the second brother's first snow has returned, and I'm thinking I should go see her tomorrow."

"No matter what I said before, you wouldn't listen. Why have you changed your mind now?"

"It hasn't always been calm. We're probably wrong. Those people weren't there to protect them on purpose. It could be a coincidence, or we might be scaring ourselves."

Granny Liu was no longer sleepy and sat up abruptly: "Your words are not without reason. That brat will probably leave tomorrow afternoon. If you want to find her, you should do so as soon as possible, lest you miss her."

Thinking of something, he added, "After all, we've separated from the family and cut off all ties. I wonder if that brat will listen to me?"

Old Man Liu took a long time to say, "Even if the kinship is severed, that status is still there. Even if she is unwilling, isn't the second son's wife pregnant? I don't believe they don't plan for that."
