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

Chapter 111 Only severing ties with family can put my mind at ease.
This left the clan chief at a loss for words, so he quickly changed the subject: "Do you know why I came to see you?"

Chu Xue didn't mince words: "I think I guessed it."

The clan chief pulled up a bench and sat down: "Did you propose severing ties with the family?"

Chu Xue nodded: "Yes, if they can do something like that once, they can do it again. I don't believe my grandparents really didn't know. Ever since my father injured his leg, their actions have chilled the hearts of our second branch of the family. Not to mention that they did such a shameful thing. Only severing ties with them can put my mind at ease, so please don't try to persuade me."

Seeing her determination, the clan chief sighed and said, "Your grandfather means that severing ties is fine, but they can't come up with the five hundred yuan you asked for."

Chu Xue sneered: "Choices are two-way. Since they can't come up with anything, let them stay inside. I don't care."

After saying that, seeing that no one in the room spoke, he said, "Since that's the case, there's no need to talk anymore. I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave first."

The clan leader wanted to stop them, but Chu Xue really didn't want to waste time on this matter. After all, while the Liu family was anxious, she was busy with her own things.

After hurrying home, he said, "Dad, Mom, the matter of the homestead has been settled. I'll go find Uncle Liangzi this afternoon and ask him to help me find some people to tidy up the place. I plan to entrust the house construction to him."

Seeing that his daughter had made all the arrangements, Liu's father agreed, saying, "He is a master craftsman himself, so having him handle things will save us a lot of trouble."

Chu Xue poured herself a glass of water: "That's what I think too."

At this moment, Liu's mother interjected, "When are we going to measure the land?"

After finishing her water, Chu Xue wiped her mouth with her hand, following local custom: "I'll go measure it this afternoon."

Mother Liu reminded her, "Don't forget about the private plot. Just designate a piece over there when the time comes."

Come to think of it, some families have already started growing high-quality vegetable seedlings; they're really taking their private plots seriously.

After this was discussed, the couple realized, "Xue, why are you back so early today?" Chu Xue didn't hide anything: "I told my homeroom teacher that I'll study at home and just come to the graduation exam."

Mr. Liu frowned slightly, disapprovingly saying, "Your mother is taking care of me, but you're graduating soon, you can't do that."

Chu Xue quickly stopped him: "Dad, I did the midterm exam paper in advance today. Except for the essay, which lost three points, I got full marks on everything else. It won't affect my graduation exam."

Fearing they wouldn't believe her, Chu Xue even took out a report card that she had specially asked the homeroom teacher to write: "Look, this was written by our teacher, Ms. Xu."

After reading it, Mr. Liu also looked regretful: "If only he could go to university, maybe our family could produce a university student."

Chu Xue smiled and said, "Maybe I'll be able to take the exam someday. When that happens, I'll definitely get into university and make the whole village envious of you."

When Mr. Liu heard his daughter's words, his heart warmed: "Okay, Dad will wait."

Chenjia in the county town
After a long while, Old Master Chen finally calmed down and said, "Before you hold the wedding banquet for them, you and your wife should personally go to Liushu Village to apologize to the Liu family. You must be sincere."

Yan Qingshuang was somewhat reluctant: "Dad, is this really necessary?"

Old Master Chen coughed angrily: "What do you know, just do what I say?"

Chen Jiefang knew a little about what the old man was thinking: "Dad, don't worry, we will definitely handle things well and leave no hidden dangers."

Old Master Chen thought that even if they couldn't become in-laws, they couldn't become enemies, since there were still secrets involved. It was just a pity that his grandson ruined his plans.
