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

Chapter 837 Discharged After the Matter Was Over
The next morning, when Xiao Changjiang came to replace Chu Xue, he saw Qiu Jinzhou, who was unshaven.

Knowing that he had cut off ties with his family, I felt that there was still hope for him.

To be honest, although he treats his sister well, he has his grievances because his family has caused her physical and mental suffering time and time again. If he is treated leniently again this time, he really wants to advise his sister to get a divorce.

Although Granny Wu was ignorant, she did have connections with enemy agents. In addition, given the relationship between the Xiao family and Fu Yancheng, Granny Wu was sentenced to ten years and sent to the Northwest. It would be difficult for her to come back alive. This was also a way to give an explanation to the two innocent children who lost their lives.

Wu's son and those who came to cause trouble were all sentenced according to their primary and secondary responsibilities. From then on, Qiu Jinzhou and his elder brother Qiu Fengtian became complete strangers.

Xiao Nianchun stayed in the hospital for seven days before being discharged and returning home after the doctor confirmed that there was nothing seriously wrong.

Fortunately, ten-year-old Qiu Yiming and seven-year-old Qiu Yilin are both very sensible. When they see that their mother is in a bad mood, they rush around to take care of her and ask her how she is doing. Looking at her two well-behaved children, she thinks that maybe some things cannot be forced, and she gradually lets go of her worries.

Everyone is right. I can't keep wallowing in self-blame and self-pity. I have to look forward. After all, I still have two children to take care of, and I can't let my parents worry about me.

With her aunt's affairs settled, Chu Xue began to busy herself with household matters.

I had warned my mom beforehand that a colleague had connections to get cotton, so I brought back the cotton I had stored in my storage space after work that day.

As Zhao Lamei stepped out of her room, she saw Chu Xue's bicycle with a large bag on the back: "This is..."

Just as I was about to ask what it was, I suddenly remembered the cotton my daughter had mentioned, so I quickly closed the door: "This isn't the cotton you were talking about, is it?"

As Chu Xue unloaded the cotton from the truck, she replied, "Yes, it's cotton." Zhao Lamei slapped Chu Xue on the shoulder, her face full of worry, and said, "You just brought it back like that, what if someone's watching you? How could you be so reckless?"

Chu Xue quickly explained, "Mom, I brought her back without anyone noticing, so don't worry."

Zhao Lamei reached out to help her daughter carry the things into the house, but Chuxue stopped her: "There looks like a lot of stuff, but it's not much, so don't get involved."

Chuxue went straight into her parents' room: "Mom, there are twelve pounds of cotton in here. You can decide how to distribute it. My grandpa has prepared new quilts, so we'll definitely have no problem getting through the winter. The main thing is that we each need to make a new cotton-padded coat. Once we reach the coldest period of winter, our current cotton-padded coats won't keep us warm anymore. We didn't have that kind of money before, so we made do. I don't want to freeze again this year."

In the past, when I worked for Granny Liu, she was two-faced. She would speak with absolute fairness in front of outsiders, but behind their backs, she would still show favoritism.

She used to think that her mother-in-law disliked her because she hadn't given birth to a son, but now that she knows her husband isn't a member of the Liu family at all, she understands everything.

Looking at the snow-white cotton, Zhao Lamei felt a pang of sadness: "Alright, I'll make one for each of your father and sister, and one for your dad."

Before she could finish speaking, Chuxue said, "Don't just look after us, make yourself a set too. I've prepared enough cotton."

Then Zhao Lamei said, "It's alright, I can still wear my cotton-padded clothes. Besides, I don't get cold at home every day. I was thinking of using some of them to make a cotton quilt for the baby in my belly. We didn't have this when you sisters were born. I was thinking of this."

As she spoke, her voice choked with emotion.
