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

Chapter 142 Anyway, the more lice, the less it itches; I'll find a chance to pay them back slowly.

Ignoring everything else, he found a basket made of thorns that he had previously received from the Ge family and put it on his head. With great effort, he finally managed to climb to a spot where he could reach it with his outstretched arm and put the two small beehives into his space.

Sure enough, these bees are quite clever. As soon as the hive landed, they swarmed out, circled around the space, and then chose the tree that had been left in the space to start building their nest.

Looking at these little creatures, Chu Xue's eyes sparkled. Before long, she would be able to drink sweet honey herself.

After returning from the mountain, I went straight to the new house: "Uncle Liangzi, I found two trees on the mountain that are suitable for beams. Could you take a look when you have time? If they are suitable, we can cut them down, peel them, and return them to the brigade as soon as possible."

Uncle Liangzi was growing to appreciate the girl's personality more and more; she was decisive and never dragged her feet when doing things: "Okay, I'll go with you to take a look tomorrow. If it's feasible, we'll have someone bring a rope up."

When the two side rooms were built, Uncle Liangzi also led people to cut down and drag back the six trees that the village had approved for them.

Chu Xue asked Uncle Liu to come and help with the peeling. The work continued until the house was almost finished. Finally, the main beam, purlins, and rafters that had been borrowed from the village office were returned, which was considered a relief.

To Chu Xue's surprise, a few days later, Fu Yancheng arrived again in his Liberation truck.

Chu Xue was still confused when she saw him: "Why are you here?"

"I was off today, so I thought I'd come over and help you train your puppy."

"You drove such a big car here for me to train my dog?"

After asking the question, I mentally complained: Are you serious?

Fu Yancheng coughed lightly and said, "It's like this, last year there was a big flood in Baishan Township, and my comrade's family dredged up a lot of sand. The village is going to clear out the place where the sand was stored to build a chicken farm, and there's nowhere to store the sand for the time being. I thought you were borrowing that sand, so I asked for it over." "Asked for it, given away for free?"

"Yes, they originally salvaged the sand to build a wedding house for their youngest son, but he married a woman from the city and became her son-in-law. So the wedding house couldn't be built. His father found the sand an eyesore and said he didn't want it anymore. I happened to overhear them talking on the phone that day, so I quickly took it."

Hearing this, Chu Xue didn't know what to say: "What if they were just saying it out of anger? Are you just going to let them take you away like that?"

"He really doesn't want it anymore. His youngest son caused a huge uproar in the family because he wanted to become a live-in son-in-law."

"We can't just take it for free, can we?"

Before she could finish speaking, Fu Yancheng said, "I did them a big favor before, so consider this sand as repayment. It would be better to give them money instead. Anyway, they have no use for it. If I don't take it away, they'll have to find a place to move it, which will be a lot of trouble. This is also a way of helping them."

Chu Xue thought to herself: He has repaid your favor, but now I owe you one too?
She had originally planned to go into the river to collect some sand and return it to Uncle Liangzi's family when the river flooded this year, but this has saved her the trouble.

To be honest, she didn't really want the sand, but since they had already brought it over, she couldn't very well refuse, could she?
Oh well, too many lice don't itch anyway, I'll just find a chance to pay them back slowly.

Looking at the girl's ever-changing expressions, Fu Yancheng could roughly guess what she was thinking. He maintained a serious demeanor on the surface, but inside he was secretly delighted.

He had been given advice: if he wanted to win over a wife, he had to be shameless.

He was determined to stick with this girl, even if it meant being unreasonable.
