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

Chapter 124 What a beautiful thought
Chu Xue went straight over the mountain back to the village. When she was almost at the foot of the mountain, she took out a burlap sack from her space, filled it with seven or eight large fish that she had stunned, and hurried home.

As I approached the gate, I heard a commotion coming from inside the courtyard: "If you don't give me an explanation today, I'm not leaving."

The first snowflake knew who it was as soon as she heard it.

She hurried into the courtyard and saw Granny Ge arguing with the Liu family. She thought to herself: "Given Granny Ge's temperament, she won't stop until the Liu family is bleeding money. She deserves it."

Granny Ge looked at Chu Xue as she entered the courtyard carrying her things, her eyes full of calculation.

Chu Xue ignored her completely and went straight into the west wing with her things, saying, "Mom, I'm back."

When Liu's mother saw her daughter returning carrying a sack, she asked, "What are you carrying?"

Chu Xue put the things on the ground: "These are fish I brought back from the reservoir in the northern suburbs."

Upon hearing that it was fish, Liu's mother didn't ask any further questions, as she was already used to it: "Is there any plan?"

Chu Xue nodded: "Uncle Liangzi found someone to level the site today. He said he wouldn't charge for the work today, just consider it a favor. The work will be calculated after the blasting is done and construction begins."

Those uncles and elders are giving Liangzi face, but we can't take it for granted. I was thinking of cooking a pot of fish pieces and sending a bowl to each family, no matter how little, it's a token of our goodwill.

Mother Liu did not object and nodded, saying, "You're right. They came to help because of your Uncle Liangzi. We can't pretend we don't know."

Seeing that her mother agreed, she turned and walked out: "I'll go next door and borrow a big basin."

As Chu Xue walked out the gate toward the Li family's house, the second daughter-in-law of the Li family, who didn't get along with Ge Xiulan, came up to her as soon as she saw Chu Xue coming over: "Why are they back?"

Chu Xue didn't hide anything: "My grandparents signed a letter of severance with our second branch of the family and compensated me."

Li Guizhi gave Chu Xue a thumbs up: "As expected of a school-educated child, this is much more worthwhile than making them squat by the fence. Let's see what those relatives of the Liu family can say."

Then the commotion in the courtyard started again: "Mom, can't you go back first?" "I won't leave until you get Baocheng out. What kind of aunt are you? You came back and left him there. How can you be so heartless? If it weren't for your bad idea, he wouldn't have to suffer like this. How is he going to find a partner in the future?"

"Mom, I told you I'd figure something out, please stop making a fuss."

"Ge Xiulan, do you have any conscience? Am I making a scene?"

"Mom, I'm begging you, please give us some time, okay?"

After a great deal of effort, Granny Ge was finally fooled and left.

Then she saw the eldest son and his family return to their room. Although they were separated by several rooms, Chu Xue had excellent hearing and heard everything they said clearly: "This matter was caused by the Chen family, so naturally we have to find them to resolve it."

"The Chen family is barely able to take care of themselves right now, do you think they'll bother with us?"

"If they don't take any action, don't blame me for making a scene at their workplace."

"Mom, if you go there and make a scene, I'm afraid I'll lose all hope of getting a job."

"Then what do you suggest we do? We can't just let your cousin stay in jail forever, can we?"

"Didn't my uncle and the others already start looking for a solution? Why don't we wait a little longer? If they have a way to get the person out, it will save us a lot of trouble."

"Given what happened, the Chen family naturally has to compensate us. We'll just ask them to arrange a job for me; they already agreed to that, so we won't make any other unreasonable demands."

It has to be said, Liu Jiandong's ideas were really too good to be true.
