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

Chapter 940 A Granddaughter Not to Be Underestimated

Chu Xue never expected to run into Grandpa Guo here: "Grandpa Guo, you live here too?"

Grandpa Guo waved his hand and said, "I live in the next courtyard. I came to visit an old friend today and happened to run into your grandfather, so we chatted for a bit here."

Grandpa Xiao was somewhat surprised: "You two are very familiar with each other?"

Grandpa Guo smiled and said, "I wouldn't say we're very close, but we do have some acquaintance."

After saying that, he looked at Chuxue and said, "Don't you think so, little girl?"

Chu Xue smiled and nodded, then recounted how she had met several old men while fishing at Shichahai.

Mr. and Mrs. Xiao quickly expressed their gratitude.

I never imagined that the people my daughter mentioned before were all high-ranking and powerful senior officials.

Grandpa Guo laughed and said, "We are exchanging goods, so you don't need to thank me. It's us old folks who often benefit from the young girl's kindness."

Thinking of something, he quickly added, "But I haven't seen this girl go to Shichahai for quite a while."

Chu Xue smiled and said, "After I started working, I didn't go there often. I guess I just missed it when I went, which is why I didn't see it."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Grandpa Guo smiled and said, "Girl, it's cold outside. You should go back with your grandpa. If you have time, you can visit the neighboring compound. My house is number sixteen, your grandpa Xiao's is number twenty-one, and grandpa Qi's is number thirteen. Have the gatekeeper make a call, and I'll send someone out to pick you up."

After Chu Xue agreed, Grandpa Guo left.

Seeing Chu Xue handle the situation calmly, Grandpa Xiao thought even more highly of his granddaughter.

He hadn't expected his granddaughter to be so capable. Not only did she have a close relationship with the Guo family patriarch, but she also had connections with the Xiao family patriarch and the Qi family patriarch. She was truly not to be underestimated.

After all, the neighboring compound was several levels higher than theirs. Even though he didn't have much of a relationship with the leaders there, he was familiar with Old Master Guo because his former comrades-in-arms lived in this compound, and he often visited, which was why they were somewhat acquainted. When the family arrived at the Xiao family's house, Miao Yiqiu came out as soon as she heard the noise: "It's cold outside, come inside quickly. Your older brother and sister-in-law should be here soon."

Chu Xue and Chun Xiao greeted in unison, "Hello, Auntie."

After responding, Miao Yiqiu quickly invited the sisters into the house.

As soon as Xiao's mother got off the cart, Xiao's uncle and aunt greeted her. After exchanging pleasantries, they went into the house together.

They came by bicycle, their handlebars laden with bags and packages.

Upon seeing what Xiao's father was carrying, Xiao's uncle's eyes widened immediately: "Second son, where did you get such a big fish?"

Mr. Xiao said with a proud look, "Chu Xue brought this back yesterday afternoon. How about that? Chu Xue caught it herself. Isn't that amazing?"

Uncle Xiao looked at Chu Xue in shock: "Did you really catch that?"

Chu Xue smiled and nodded: "Yeah, after returning from my aunt's house, I didn't have much to do, so I thought I'd try my luck, and I didn't expect to have such a good haul."

Aunt Xiao looked at the fish she was carrying and sighed, "Yesterday your cousin managed to snatch two fish, and I thought he was quite capable. But now that I see this big fish, sigh, this fish in my hand is nothing."

Xiao Wanpeng, who was a step behind them, overheard this and said, "Mom, your son is still behind me."

Everyone laughed when they saw his expression.

Chu Xue looked at Xiao Wanpeng: "Cousin, stop joking around and help carry the things inside."

Xiao Wanpeng and Chu Xue were already on good terms, so he parked his bicycle to the side and said, "Alright, I'm coming."
