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

Chapter 12 Revealed
The other three naturally overheard the conversation between the two. Liu Xiaqiu said angrily with a sob in her voice, "If it weren't for Grandpa and Grandma insisting that Dad go to work at the reservoir construction site, this wouldn't have happened. Now that something has happened, they're just ignoring it?"

How disappointed Liu's father was! But what could he do?
Hearing her eldest daughter's roar, she struggled to suppress the bitterness in her heart: "My dear wife, what they said is true. My leg probably can't be cured even if I go to the city. It's better to..."

Liu Chuxue interrupted him before he could finish speaking: "Whether or not it can be cured, we should give it a try. What if it works?"
Even if it doesn't get better, I won't regret it later. After all, money can be earned again, but the opportunity to treat my leg will never come again.

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

Unable to bear the atmosphere any longer, Liu Chuxue left the ward and went to the doctor's office. She found the doctor and inquired carefully about her father's condition before returning to the ward.

Seeing that the patient and their family in the next bed were not there, she took a deep breath and said something surprising: "If we could separate from the family because of this incident, would you be willing?"

She and the first wife could never get along, so she might as well take this opportunity to make plans early.

Liu's mother naturally wanted to separate the family, but she never dared to say it aloud: "Xue, your grandparents will not agree."

"I'm just asking you whether you're willing to split up the family?"

Liu's father's lips twitched a few times, but ultimately no sound came out.

Liu Xiaqiu and Qiu Shaofeng were frightened by her idea, since the villagers believed that the family should not separate while the parents are alive.

Seeing their expressions, Liu Chuxue said slowly, "It's not certain that we'll reach that point, but you've all seen how the family reacted after Dad's accident. They'd rather spend money to buy a job for my second cousin than spend money to treat Dad's leg."

The original owner had many such injustices in her memories, so she casually stirred things up by saying, "Over the years, Grandpa and Grandma seemed to treat their three sons equally, but if you think about it carefully, are they really the same?"

Seeing them deep in thought, she said, "I'm just giving you a heads-up so you can be prepared. After all, given Father's current situation, the other two branches might see us as a burden." She knew that saying this would hurt Liu's father, but it was better than being repeatedly struck down. After all, running away wouldn't solve anything.

Seeing that it was getting late, Liu's mother was worried that her daughter and son-in-law would have to travel at night: "Alright, I'll take care of your father. You two should go back early. I'll have someone send you a message once things are settled."

Qiu Shaofeng looked at his father-in-law on the hospital bed and said, "Mom, how about I stay here tonight to take care of Dad? You can go back and rest for the night, and come back tomorrow to relieve me. Dad's injury can't be delayed any longer. It's good that you can go back and discuss it with Grandpa and Grandma."

Hearing this, Liu's mother felt a warmth in her heart and looked at her husband on the sickbed.

Mr. Liu knew that since his parents had said so, there was probably no room for further discussion.

Before he could respond, he heard Liu Chuxue say, "That's fine too. Brother-in-law, you stay here. My sister and I will go back to the village with Mom."

Looking at his leg and thinking of his wife and daughter, Mr. Liu mustered his courage: "Okay, then I'll talk to my parents again and tell my family that I'll consider the money for the treatment a loan. Once my leg is healed, I'll find a way to earn money to pay back the government."

After discussing it among themselves, the mother and her two daughters left the health center.

There weren't many people on the road, so Liu Chuxue led the two to the riverbank a short distance away, a place that was open and rarely frequented: "Mom, Sister, there's something I need to tell you."

She didn't want to go it alone; it was better to tell her family about some things.
