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

Chapter 756 Why Can She Get Special Treatment?
As soon as she left, people started talking: "The Shanliang couple are really lucky. Not only is their second daughter doing well, but she's also pregnant again after so many years. It's truly rare."

"I couldn't get pregnant before because my body was too weak. After moving out and living separately, my mood improved, and I ate better, so my body naturally got better. It's not abnormal that I got pregnant."

"No matter what, it all comes down to those two old folks from the Liu family being utterly inhumane."

"That's true. The second branch of the family did most of the dirty and hard work in the Liu family before."

"That old hag Liu is really something. The Liang family isn't bad-looking either, so why doesn't she like them?"

"It's because she doesn't have a family to back her up. Plus, Granny Liu thought Shanliang's family wasn't good at working, so naturally she didn't agree to the marriage. But Shanliang is stubborn, and he'd rather be beaten than disobey in this matter."

"Is there still this?"

"Don't forget that our two old courtyards were right next to each other. It was only later that the Liu family's old courtyard became uninhabitable, so they asked the village to exchange their land for a new house and built the one they live in now."

"Do you think the baby in Shanliang's belly is a boy or a girl this time?"

"It's hard to say."

"She's already had three daughters, it's her turn to have a son now, otherwise she'll be the laughingstock of the village."

"Look at what you're saying. So what if you have a daughter? Your daughter-in-law has given birth to four sons, but none of them are as capable as Chuxue from Shanliang. She's a cadre now. She started working at the factory and was paid a regular salary. She was promoted within two months of joining and is now paid at level fourteen, which means she earns more than forty yuan a month."

"Really?"

"How could that be false? That day, I went up the back mountain to collect firewood and overheard the couple on the ridge talking in their private plot. I overheard a few words."

"My goodness, that's over forty a month, which adds up to almost five hundred a year."

"What do you mean by 'small five hundred yuan'? It's a full five hundred yuan."

"Oh dear, I'm afraid only the seventh brother's family and the Party Secretary's family in the village can rival each other." At this moment, someone whispered, "The seventh brother's son is an officer in the army, so his salary is naturally not low, but the eldest son and his wife in the Party Secretary's family are just ordinary workers. I'm afraid their combined salary is not even as much as Chu Xue's salary alone."

"It's true what they say, fortunes change every thirty years. Who would have thought that the Shanliang couple, who were considered the last of their kind in the village, would one day live a life better than most other families in the village?"

"That's fate; we can't envy it."

When the first snow fell, Liu's mother was busy in the kitchen.

Hearing the commotion in the yard, Chu Xue poked her head out and asked, "Why are you back so early today?"

"The truck that was supposed to pick up the goods at the North Suburb Farm left early today, so I told the section chief and left a little early after finishing my work."

"Oh, will this be okay?"

"It's okay, I haven't neglected my work."

"I'm afraid other people in the office will have opinions."

“I’ve finished all my work, so it’s pointless for them to have any complaints.”

Just as Liu's mother had predicted, Wan Xiaohui was the first to object after Chu Xue left: "It's not even time yet, why did she leave?"

No one in the office responded, so the person in charge raised their voice in frustration: "Why should she get special treatment?"

The section chief naturally heard her words and came out directly: "I agreed to it. She can leave a little early as long as she finishes her work. What, do you have a problem with that?"

Seeing that even the section chief was speaking up for Chu Xue, Wan Xiaohui naturally didn't dare to say anything else, but she still whispered, "She's getting special treatment, can't we even have a little objection?"
