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

Chapter 761 Only someone who's too full would meddle in this kind of business.

Liu's mother glanced at her youngest daughter, somewhat disappointed, and said, "You can't blame your second sister for this. Your eldest and second sisters were both washing clothes for the whole family before they were even ten years old. You're already twelve."

The youngest daughter has indeed been a bit unreliable lately. Even her parents have to give way to their second daughter, but she seems to have gone crazy and always wants to go against her second sister.

It's unlikely that Chuxue would indulge her.

Ignoring her little girl's expression, she turned and went back into the house.

She was already incredibly nervous, so there was no time to waste arguing with her.

After entering the house, he shouted at her, "If you don't wash today, take your dirty clothes back to your room."

Chunxiao snorted angrily, rolled up her clothes, and threw them back into her room.

Then he jogged towards the village entrance.

The first snow didn't care what Chunxiao was up to and went straight to the river.

When she arrived, she was surprised to find that someone had already started washing.

Aunt Liangzi saw her and said, "Chuxue is back. Come on, come over here. I can make room for you."

Chu Xue walked over with a smile: "Auntie, you're really early."

Aunt Liangzi tidied up her clothes to the side: "It's getting cold soon, so I took apart and washed the bedding to avoid having to wash it in the freezing cold."

As Chu Xue took clothes out of her basket, she replied, "That's true."

"How is your mother? She hasn't been going out much lately."

"I have some morning sickness, but it's not severe."

"Oh dear, after the autumn harvest comes the task of delivering grain to the government, and I've been so busy that I haven't had a chance to visit her."

“After the snow falls in a few days, we’ll be hibernating for the rest of the year. I’ll just have to go over and talk to her more then.” “That’s true. Ever since we started paying our taxes, we’ve been stockpiling firewood for winter and pickling vegetables. We haven’t had a moment to spare.”

"It's the same for all of them, except that my mom is pregnant now and can't rest for a moment."

As they were talking, more people came to the riverbank: "Is the first snow back?"

Chu Xue turned her head and saw that it was Aunt Liu's third wife.

After the two families severed ties, Su Hongjuan had always acted as if she didn't see them. This was the first time she had taken the initiative to greet her: "Auntie, are you here to do laundry too?"

"Yes, there's not much to do in the fields now, and the weather's nice today, so I thought I'd come over and wash up. In a few days, I won't be able to do without rubber gloves."

She deliberately squatted down next to the first snow: "First Snow, you've been engaged for a while now, have you set a wedding date yet?"

"not yet."

"Chu Xue, it's not that your third aunt is criticizing you, but it's better to get married sooner rather than later, to avoid any unforeseen complications."

“We are in a military marriage, and we can’t get a marriage certificate until I turn eighteen. Auntie, you should worry more about Xiaoman and his marriage.”

“Speaking of which, Xiaoman is seventeen weeks along now. Do you have any suitable young men in your factory who you could introduce to her? That way, if anything happens in the future, you sisters can look out for each other.”

Hearing her say that, Chu Xue immediately understood that coming to the river to wash clothes today was probably premeditated: "Didn't I hear before that Xiaoman's third aunt found her a family in the next county? Why do you still need to find someone else?"

Su Hongjuan was immediately a little embarrassed: "It's not that I feel it's not suitable, it's just that my wedding fell through a while ago, so I thought I'd ask you to help me introduce someone."

Chu Xue thought to herself: What a wishful thinking. Even if there is a suitable person for me, they won't go looking for trouble to take me on. If things don't go well, they might come to my door to complain.

Only someone who's too full would meddle in other people's business.
