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

Chapter 853: Consider it a way to calm Xia Qiu's nerves.
Grandma Qiu then spoke up at the opportune moment: "What happened today was indeed Shao Hu's fault. In order to teach her a lesson, I decided to have them bring out five catties of eggs as a way to calm Xia Qiu's nerves."

Chu Xue was naturally not foolish enough to refuse; it was rightfully her older sister's.

After saying this, Grandma Qiu looked at her great-granddaughter-in-law, who was acting like a quail: "Xiao Jing, I don't want this to happen again. If you have time, go back to your parents' home and take my words back with you."

These words were clearly a warning to her. While the matter was indeed the work of the second great-granddaughter-in-law, the younger great-granddaughter-in-law was probably not innocent either.

Hearing his great-grandmother's words, Qiu Shaocheng felt his face burning. Before his wife could speak, he went straight to his older brother and sister-in-law: "Brother, sister-in-law, I'm sorry."

The couple knew Qiu Shaocheng's personality perfectly well: "This has nothing to do with you, so don't blame yourself."

Zhang Shanmei then jumped in again: "This isn't just my fault. That's An Xiaojing's sister-in-law from her maternal family. Why should only our branch of the family be responsible for calming Xia Qiu down?"

An Xiaojing looked up to argue, but her husband beat her to it: "Second sister-in-law is right, we also bear some responsibility for this. We'll send her five catties of eggs to calm her nerves."

Xia Qiu raised her hand to refuse, but Qiu Shaofeng stopped her.

He also felt that his sister-in-law was involved in the matter. His wife had suffered such a great injustice today, so it was only right that she received some eggs to calm her nerves. Not to mention that his sister-in-law was still here. When she went back, she would definitely tell her family, and who knows how angry they would be.

The matter was settled.

Uncle Qiu and Father Qiu also spoke up, telling the onlookers to disperse.

Having been delayed for so long, Chu Xue quickly pulled her older sister into the house: "Sister, I came here today on the meat processing plant's bus, and I have to leave soon." As she spoke, she opened the package she had brought: "I brought you some cotton, which is perfect for making some quilts for your baby. Also, here's some food. Keep it safe for yourself. In the future, no matter what the family brings you, you don't need to share it anymore, so as not to make others envious."

She was giving her older sister a heads-up.

Some people are like that. They can't see things. They may be jealous, but they can only suffer in silence. Once they find out what you have that they don't, they'll think that since they don't have it, you shouldn't expect to have any peace either.

Xia Qiu never expected her second sister-in-law to be so selfish, going so far as to collude with outsiders to cause trouble just to make her unhappy.

Chu Xue saw that she had taken it to heart: "And your sister-in-law, don't let her gentle nature fool you, she's always jealous, you'd better be more careful in the future."

Xia Qiu also realized that today's incident was probably not only caused by her cousin-in-law stirring things up, but also by her sister-in-law An Xiaojing talking about family matters to her parents. She realized she had been too naive.

The sky outside was a bit overcast: "Sister, it looks like it's going to snow. If it snows, don't go any further. Let your husband take care of anything. Your due date is in about a month. I'll ask my workplace for leave to come over early."

Xia Qiu's eyes stung when she heard her sister's words, but she held back her tears for fear of worrying her sister: "Your brother-in-law is here, so don't worry about me. Just focus on your work and don't take any more time off because of me, understand?"

Chu Xue naturally knew what she was worried about: "I understand. At worst, I won't rest anymore. I'll work the weekends and then take a few days off in lieu of rest."

The two sisters were talking when they heard the sound of a loudspeaker.
