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

Chapter 112 Stop trying to morally blackmail me.
Chu Xue acted quickly. While her mother was making lunch, she ran to Uncle Liangzi's house at the east end of the village: "Auntie, are you busy?"

Liangzi's wife saw who it was and said, "Chuxue, what brings you here?"

"Auntie, where's my uncle?"

"He's tending the vegetable garden in the backyard. Do you need to see him?"

Chu Xue smiled and nodded: "Yes, I just got a plot of land approved by the village for a house, and I wanted to ask Uncle Liangzi to help me with the arrangements."

Liangzi's wife's face instantly lit up with joy: "Are you really going to build a new house?"

“The doctor said my dad needs to rest well. You know my family’s situation. If we still live there, how can we have peace and quiet? Besides, if I don’t spend the money I have, my grandparents will never have a moment of peace.”

"It really is. You wait here, I'll go call your uncle."

Before she could even head to the backyard, Liangzi returned after hearing the commotion in the front yard: "Is the first snow here?"

"Uncle Liangzi, have you taken any jobs lately?"

Liangzi slammed his hoe down: "The villagers from Shanglin Village came looking for us a few days ago, but the date for building the house hasn't been set yet. What are you planning to do?"

Liangzi's wife interrupted, "Chuxue's family has just been approved for a new plot of land to build a new house."

Liangzi was also a little surprised: "Isn't your house spacious enough for most people?"

Just as I was saying this, something came to mind: "Which plot of land did you choose for your homestead?"

Chu Xue laughed and said, "It's the earthen slope at the end of the village."

Liangzi also disagreed: "Chuxue, that place is nice, but firstly it's a bit remote, and secondly, if you want to live there with peace of mind, the slope in front needs to be reinforced, which is a considerable expense."

“Uncle Liangzi, that place is only about fifty meters away from the houses in front. Once the slope is stabilized, someone will definitely choose that place to apply for a house site.”

Seeing that Chuxue was so opinionated, Liangzi didn't want to persuade her anymore: "Okay, so are you planning to build an adobe house or a brick house?"

Chu Xue didn't hesitate: "Let's go with a brick house. It'll be more comfortable to live in, and there will be fewer troubles in the future."

She took out her hand-drawn house layout plan: "Uncle, this is what I'm thinking. The main house will have three large rooms, and two side rooms on each side. The kitchen and storage room will be located on the south side, which can be smaller." Liangzi was also stunned by this grand plan: "Chuxue, this is a brick and tile house. It will cost a lot of money to build it like this. The main house has three large rooms, and each room will cost sixty yuan. The side rooms will be smaller and cheaper, but they will still cost at least fifty yuan. Add the kitchen and storage room on the south side, and it will probably cost four hundred and fifty or sixty yuan per square meter."

“Uncle Liangzi, as you know, I received some rewards. Instead of keeping them, I’d rather turn them into a house as soon as possible. I also want to build the house quickly so that my father can recuperate more peacefully. I’ll have to trouble you to help me with this.”

"Once you've made the decision, I'm sure I can handle it. I can get the construction team up and running today."

"Okay, the village officials will go over to measure the land this afternoon. If you have time, you can go and take a look for me too."

"Okay, I'll be there in a bit."

She said yes, declined Aunt Liangzi's offer to stay for dinner, and hurried home; her mother's meal should be ready soon.

As she expected, she saw Chunxiao calling for help when she was still some distance from home.

Chunxiao saw her running over and said, "Second sister, Mom asked me to call you back for dinner."

What did Mom cook?

"I made chili sauce and rolled out the dough."

"Second sister, Mom said she's going to measure the land for our house this afternoon?"

"Ah."

"That's great, finally I don't have to put up with their attitude anymore."

As soon as she arrived at her doorstep, she saw Liu Jianqiang standing there: "Chu Xue, are you really going to be this ruthless?"

Chu Xue wasn't afraid of him at all: "Weren't you the ones who went first? Stop trying to morally blackmail me."

After saying that, he pulled Chunxiao through the gate.
