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

Chapter 108 If I don't stand up for myself soon, our second branch of the family will be bullied to death.

"That's true. Anyone who has been through that would be heartbroken, let alone the first wife and her husband who schemed against Chuxue. It's a pipe dream to expect anyone to let them off easily."

"But Chu Xue is ruthless enough. She asked for five hundred right off the bat. Even if the Liu family hadn't lost any money, they probably wouldn't be able to come up with that much money right away."

"What does that have to do with Chuxue? They didn't force them to pay. If they don't have the money, they can just stay in jail."

Chu Xue has excellent hearing; even from a great distance, she could still hear the people talking, but none of that bothered her.

Now she was very strong. After marching for a while, she reached the hillside, found a dead tree, and with two swings of her axe, the tree fell down.

Afterwards, he quickly broke down the firewood, tied two large bundles together, took the wooden sticks he had picked out beforehand to use as carrying poles, sharpened both ends, inserted them into the firewood, and carried them down the mountain.

When she got down the mountain, she could see people gathered around her house from afar.

As they approached, they overheard people saying, "How come Chu Xue is so strong? Even a big man would have trouble carrying two such big bundles of firewood."

Chu Xue carried the firewood to the wall behind the west wing room they had been assigned, then untied the ropes and let the firewood dry there before turning and walking into the courtyard.

Mother Liu had already prepared the meal: "Xue, quickly wash your face and get ready so you can go to school after eating. You can't be late any longer."

Chu Xue glanced towards the main house: "What's going on?"

While serving rice, Liu's mother said, "They invited several elders in charge of the clan over, probably hoping they would take charge."

Chu Xue quickly tidied herself up, pulled over a wooden stump, and brought the food downstairs: "No matter who comes to you, it's the same. Stick to the two conditions I proposed. If they don't agree, then forget it. There's no need to force them."

Don't think my demands are excessive. After all, if they succeed in their scheme, what will become of me, and what will become of you? Don't be soft-hearted, or you'll just be called fools.

She was saying this to Liu's father, fearing that he might be misled by the elders of the Liu family and lose his bearings.

Father Liu quickly assured her, "Xue, don't worry, Dad has come to terms with reality. I won't hold you back." Seeing his younger sister still standing there in a daze, he tapped her on the forehead with his chopsticks: "What time is it? Still standing there in a daze? Do you want to be late?"

Chunxiao then realized, "Second sister, you've changed so much."

Chu Xue took a sip of porridge: "If I don't stand up for myself, our second branch of the family will be bullied to death."

Chunxiao nodded in agreement after hearing her second sister's words, saying, "Second sister, you're right."

Liu's mother felt very sorry for her, and Liu's father was no better off. They both silently thought to themselves: no matter what, they would always stand by their daughter's side.

Chu Xue quickly finished her meal, went inside to get her schoolbag, and said, "Dad, Mom, I'm going to school. Tell them to wait until I get back if there's anything."

After all, they're still arguing over there, and it's unlikely there will be a resolution anytime soon. I don't have time to wait for them. I haven't been to school for almost half a month, and I only have a few months left before graduating from high school. I'm going to talk to my homeroom teacher today about studying at home on weekdays and only going to school when it's time for exams.

After all, there were many things to take care of at home, and she was really worried about leaving them alone.

Chunxiao tilted her head back and gulped down the porridge in her bowl: "Second sister, wait for me, let's go together."

From the next room: "Clan leader, although the eldest brother and the others were in the wrong, if they are sentenced, the entire Liu family will be implicated. We had no choice but to ask the clan for help. Please help us."

"Fifth brother, I'm not trying to be mean, but what you did before was utterly inhuman. If I were Shanliang, I would have severed ties with you too."

“I was also deceived by the eldest son and his wife. I thought that the job was something I had to pay money for, which is why I did something wrong. Clan leader, you can’t ignore this matter, or this family will really be ruined.”

"This is no small matter. Don't try to tie the clan to you, and don't try any tricks. Tell me what you're thinking first."

Goodnight everyone, and Happy New Year in advance!
