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

Chapter 845 He's caused trouble for the family again.

Xiao's mother wanted to say a few words in Chunxiao's defense, feeling that no matter how wrong she was, she shouldn't hit her. But thinking about Chunxiao's recent changes, she said, "Whether you forgot or deliberately didn't say it, you know in your heart that you deserved this slap."

Chunxiao never expected that even after being beaten, her own mother wouldn't stand up for her: "Mom, how could you do this to me?"

Xiao's mother's face also turned cold: "As soon as you came back, I mentioned your second sister to you, but I don't believe you can forget about it just because you came in from the alley entrance."

Chunxiao felt a burning sensation on her face when she heard her mother's words, and didn't dare to utter another sound for a long time.

Seeing that she had calmed down, Xiao's mother said, "Apologize to your sister."

They were still too young, and probably felt too embarrassed: "I'm sorry."

After saying that, she covered her face and ran back to her room.

Seeing her run away, Chuxue went into the main room: "Mom, don't blame me for hitting her today. With her personality, if we don't control her, she might cause trouble for the family one day."

Although Xiao's mother still didn't quite approve of physical discipline, she knew that Chu Xue was right.

She nodded slightly: "She's a grown woman now, so we mustn't embarrass her again."

Chu Xue didn't refute, but gave a soft "hmm" and carried the thermos back to her room.

But before this matter was over, Chunxiao caused trouble for her family again.

Looking at the neighbor who had come to plead with her, Xiao's mother asked, "No, Sister-in-law Cao, who told you I have cotton here?"

Sister-in-law Cao's eyes were full of calculation: "Sister Liu, your Chunxiao said that your second son brought back a lot of cotton, and that your second daughter has connections, so it's just a matter of a word." Mother Xiao greeted the neighbors who came to visit, but in her heart she thought: The first snow that day hit Chunxiao too lightly.

When I returned home after the first snow, I found that there were guests at home. After entering the house, I realized that they were all my neighbors from the neighborhood: "Hello, aunties and uncles."

The neighbor surnamed Cao said with a smile, "We heard that you have connections and can get cotton, so we were wondering if you could help us get some back?"

Chu Xue glanced at her mother and said casually, "To be honest, I did manage to get some cotton through connections, but it's definitely not as exaggerated as Chun Xiao said. As you all know, my family just moved to the city, and the cotton batting inside our cotton-padded jackets back in our hometown was all knotted up, so I thought I'd add some more."

I understand everyone's feelings; after all, it's getting cold, and everyone's life is tough. Since Chunxiao is kind-hearted, I'm sure she's willing to help others.

After clearing his throat, he went to the next room and took out three catties of cotton: "I don't have any more. This is Chunxiao's share. I'll give it to each of you three families."

They had only come to ask around, but they were surprised by the unexpected surprise. They all thanked Chu Xue.

Then Chu Xue said, "If you want to thank someone, thank Chunxiao. The cotton you received was meant to make thicker cotton clothes and quilts for her. You should thank her."

The men were overjoyed to have received the cotton.

Of course, the price was based on the black market price, but instead of money, they were asked to exchange tickets. Chuxue didn't want to be a good person, nor did she want to give others any leverage, but she still wanted to teach Chunxiao a lesson, so she did it this way.

Even getting a pound would be good; those people practically ran home to get their tickets.

Xiao's mother hesitated several times before stopping herself, but ultimately did not interrupt her second son.

After those people brought the tickets, took the cotton, and left, she finally spoke up: "Chuxue, it would have been better to refuse them. Why did you exchange the cotton? I'm afraid there won't be enough for the family to go around."
