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

Chapter 116 What nonsense are you talking about, kid?

Chu Xue naturally understood her thoughts: "That depends on what you all think."

Anyway, if the third wife doesn't want it, or if she's not satisfied with the price offered, then she'll sell it to another family in the village. That way, the Liu family will be disgusted to death.

Su Hongjuan quickly spoke up, "We want this house, but could the price be reduced a bit?"

Chu Xue glanced at her: "Naturally, it will be based on the current market price of this house. If you want it, you'd better prepare the money in advance. There's no such thing as credit here."

After saying that, he turned around and went back into his own house.

She had originally planned to build a courtyard wall, but now it seems unnecessary. If things go smoothly, the new house can be completed in a month. Unlike later generations, there's no need for decoration; a simple coat of white paint is all it takes to move in.

Chu Xue recounted the events to Liu's father: "Father, is there anything else you wish to tell me?"

Mr. Liu looked somewhat dejected: "No, you did a good job. Since you can't tolerate us, it's better to break it off."

Chu Xue could probably guess what her adoptive father was thinking, and comforted him, "After we move, I'll take my mom to see that renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor and have him help her take good care of her health. Who knows, she might even be able to give us a little brother in the future."

She said this not only to comfort Liu's father, but also because Liu's mother was not very old to begin with, and she only fell ill during her postpartum period. She wanted to give them some hope so that they could have motivation.

During this time, she secretly gave them a lot of water from the spatial pool to drink. She believed that with the help of traditional Chinese medicine, their bodies would soon recover.

Mr. Liu was surprised by his daughter's words: "What nonsense are you talking about, child?"

That's what he said, but his reddened ears betrayed his true feelings. They were actually determined to have a son, but Liu's mother had health problems, so they had to accept their fate.

My mind, which had been dormant, was rekindled after hearing my daughter's words.

*
In a government compound in Beijing, a well-maintained woman was answering the phone: "How is it? Have you found it?" "I'm sorry, ma'am, we searched that hole several times, but we couldn't find what you were looking for."

"Are you sure you've found the right place?"

"Yes, madam, I'm sure, and I've searched inside and out several times, but I really couldn't find what you're talking about."

"I understand. Try to contact Liu Dazhu's family in Liujia Village at the foot of the mountain and see if you can find any clues."

"Yes, madam."

After hanging up the phone, the woman fell into deep thought: Was that thing really on the child at the time?

She regretted not checking the swaddling clothes carefully before sending it away. If the baby hadn't fallen on the road or in the cave back then, it might have ended up in the hands of the Liu family couple.

I was so stupid back then. Why did I send that child to Shanghai instead of going to the nearest city? Now I want him to reunite with the Xiao family, but I never expected it to be so difficult.

The Xiao family insisted that the child had a jade pendant on her body. Only by finding that jade pendant could the child be accepted by the Xiao family. But where could she find that jade pendant?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and in a fit of anger, he smashed the teacup next to him on the ground.

The person who came over after hearing the commotion asked, "Huiwen, what happened to you?"

"It's nothing, I just accidentally knocked the teacup to the ground."

She naturally wouldn't reveal what was hidden in her heart, but she knew in her heart that the Xiao family had probably already started investigating what happened back then. If they couldn't find that jade pendant, were they really going to let that slut Han Chunyi's child return to the Xiao family?

I'm so unwilling to accept this!
