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

Chapter 852 Backing Up My Sister
Qiu Shaomei's words showed absolutely no mercy to Qiu Shaohu and his wife.

Grandma Qiu also felt extremely embarrassed, but she couldn't let outsiders laugh at her forever. She walked up to Chuxue and took the cookie box: "Since it was Shaohu's family who caused trouble, let her clean up the mess."

He forcefully opened the biscuit box and saw the money notes tied with a rubber band inside. He pulled out a ten-yuan bill and walked up to Sister-in-law An Xiaojing: "Since Zhang Shanmei pities your child, let her clean up the mess herself. Consider this money a loan to you, and remember to pay it back later."

Sister-in-law An came to borrow milk powder without any intention of paying it back, but since the money was already handed to her, she naturally took it first: "Then I thank Grandma Qiu, but having money without milk powder coupons is no good."

Grandma Qiu's face darkened: "You're putting me in a difficult position. These milk powder coupons are so precious, how could they possibly have them? You need to go home and ask your family to figure something out. After all, they are An family children, and the An family can't just abandon them, can they?"

As he said this, he looked at An Xiaojing, who had been silent the whole time, and gave her a cold look. His own sister-in-law had come to make trouble, and he hadn't said a word. He really had the nerve to do that.

Doesn't she realize that with her sister-in-law causing such a scene, how is she supposed to get along with her husband's family in the future? She's really brainless.

Ultimately, it was a petty act. She probably wanted her sister-in-law to get a good deal when she returned home, but unexpectedly, she ran into Xia Qiu's sister from her own family.

I'm getting old and can't manage so much anymore, but it's good to teach them a lesson today so they won't become more and more reckless and cause trouble for the family.

Sister-in-law An is a shrewd person, so she naturally knows when to stop while she's ahead.

He thanked Grandma Qiu, took the money, and left with a big smile, forgetting to even say goodbye to his sister-in-law.

Grandma Qiu glanced at her great-granddaughter-in-law and shook her head. Zhang Shanmei saw that Grandma Qiu had really given away the money that the family had worked so hard to save: "Grandma Qiu, that's my private savings, how could you lend it out?"

Grandma Qiu turned her head and looked at her coldly: "Your sister-in-law's milk powder wasn't bought with money, and you still let people come to your door to borrow it. Now that we've lent you money, you feel uncomfortable and heartbroken?"

Zhang Shanmei wanted to say something, but her mother-in-law pulled her back: "Shut up, you shameful thing."

Aunt Qiu realized that Grandma's stunt today was intentional, meant to make an example of someone and deter others from targeting Shao Feng's family.

Considering Xia Qiu's family background now, Qiu's aunt, being a shrewd and calculating person, also felt that she shouldn't have schemed against Shao Feng's wife.

Today, her sister happened to run into them, and she wasn't even allowed to stand up for her sister. So her second daughter-in-law deserved it.

However, given how things have escalated, she, as the mother-in-law, naturally couldn't ignore it: "Chuxue, it's true that Shaohu's wife was in the wrong today. It's not wrong for you to help your sister vent her anger, but now that you've vented, please forgive her this time for the sake of our in-law relationship. Is that alright?"

Hearing what Aunt Qiu said, Chu Xue didn't intend to keep pressing the matter. After all, she was in a position of power, but her sister still had to live here: "Since my aunt has said so, I can't refuse her. But let me make this clear: my sister may not have a younger brother to back her up, but she has cousins, and if all else fails, she has me, her sister. Anyone who dares to scheme against my sister should not blame me for being ruthless."
