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

Chapter 924 This is pure sophistry.

Chu Xue listened for a while from behind and finally understood that her brother-in-law, Qiu Shaofeng, had caught two pheasants on the mountain, intending to eat one during the New Year and give the other to her family as a New Year's gift.

When he returned, he was seen by his sister-in-law's nephew.

An's sister-in-law brought some cabbages and carrots to the door, saying that her sister-in-law was currently pregnant and unable to go back to her parents' home, so she was here on behalf of the family to visit.

But before the younger sister-in-law could even see the person, she spotted the two pheasants tied up in the yard. She handed the cabbage and carrots she had brought to Qiu's mother, then stared at the two pheasants with shining eyes: "Oh my, this is perfect, one for each family, just right."

Before Qiu's mother and son could react, An Xiaojing, who was inside the house, heard her sister-in-law's loud voice and quickly came out of the house: "Sister-in-law, why did you come here?"

An Jia's sister-in-law turned to look at her sister-in-law: "Xiao Jing, I heard everything. Your mother-in-law said that this chicken was given as a gift to the in-laws back then, and your nephew was craving meat."

Before An Xiaojing could explain, she heard her sister-in-law say to herself, "Our family is large, so we want the one with the red crest. That one looks very fat."

An Xiaojing looked up at her mother-in-law and brother-in-law, her face flushed with embarrassment: "Sister-in-law, please stop talking. It was my brother-in-law who hunted it in the mountains. It has nothing to do with us."

Sister-in-law An didn't care about any of that: "No matter who hunted it, you haven't separated your families yet. Besides, when I first came to the house, your mother-in-law said that it would be delivered to the in-laws' house tomorrow. So our An family is also in-laws, and naturally we should have a share too."

This is pure sophistry.

Qiu Shaocheng was in his great-grandmother's house when he heard the noise and quickly ran out: "What's going on?"

An Xiaojing was too embarrassed to say anything. But her sister-in-law spoke up, saying, "I just came into the yard and overheard your mother saying that she'd be sending chickens to our in-laws tomorrow. I was so happy about that, but then this brat Xiaojing said that your older brother hunted the chickens and that it had nothing to do with you. What kind of talk is that?"

At this moment, Qiu's mother spoke up: "Xiaojing's sister-in-law, this chicken was hunted by Shaofeng on the mountain. Although we haven't separated our households, ever since you came to our house and made a scene last time, we've agreed that apart from the work points earned from working together, everything else will be separate. Your in-laws know about this. I even mentioned it to them when I ran into them last time."

Hearing her mother-in-law's words, An Xiaojing felt a burning pain on her face: "Sister-in-law, what my mother-in-law said is true, so please stop making trouble."

Sister-in-law An was not about to accept this: "I'm telling you, what's wrong with your brain? You two haven't separated your households, so why are you treating each other differently?"

Zhang Shanmei, from the eldest branch of the family, then stepped forward to stir up trouble, saying, "They're all daughters-in-law, so it's fine on ordinary days, but we can't divide them into different classes during the New Year, can we?"

Mother Qiu's face immediately turned cold as she looked at Aunt Qiu's eldest son in the courtyard: "Sister-in-law, we don't need Shao Hu's wife to worry about our second branch's affairs."

Grandma Qiu had fallen a few days ago, and her health had been deteriorating ever since. She was already feeling quite unwell, and when she heard that An's daughter-in-law had come to the house to cause trouble again, she was furious. This had happened several times already, turning the Qiu family into a complete mess.

He propped himself up and sat up, struggled to get off the kang (heated brick bed), put on his shoes, and, leaning on the cane prepared for him by the younger generation, moved outside.

It took quite a bit of effort to get over there.

When Qiu's mother saw the person, she was startled and quickly stepped forward to support her: "Grandma, you've only just recovered, why did you come out of the house?"
