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

Chapter 154: How much you want has absolutely nothing to do with me.
To everyone's surprise, the Liu family set their sights on Chu Xue's bonuses, and Liu Shangang shamelessly came to Chu Xue's new house.

Fu Yancheng was fuming because Chu Xue had stopped him from standing up for her, and he was currently messing around with Zhui Feng.

His little action naturally did not escape Chu Xue's eyes: "Alright, don't be angry. I didn't want you to get involved just to avoid making things more complicated. After things are settled in a few days, we won't have to hide our relationship anymore."

Seeing what Fu Yancheng was about to say, Chu Xue raised her hand to stop him, saying, "I know what you're thinking, but I don't want them to use our affairs as a topic of discussion. Do you understand what I mean?"

Fu Yancheng pressed his advantage: "Next time I come over, can we make our relationship public?"

Chu Xue was surprised that he would make such a request, and for a moment she found it somewhat amusing.

Fu Yancheng was afraid that Chu Xue would find an excuse to refuse: "I'm serious about you, and I'm aiming to get married. You have to give me a proper status, don't you?"

Chu Xue was truly exasperated with this guy. How could he be so shameless? They'd only just started dating, and he was already demanding a formal title: "You really are something else!"

Before she could finish speaking, Fu Yancheng said, "I will definitely come over often when I have time. If we don't have a formal relationship, I'm afraid it will have a negative impact on you."

Chu Xue was amused by him: "Should I thank you for thinking of me?"

Just as Fu Yancheng was about to say something, he saw someone running over: "Chu Xue, your uncle is coming this way."

Chu Xue took a few steps toward the slope and saw Liu Shangang walking toward her from afar with his head down: "Judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to be here to cause trouble."

Hearing Chu Xue's words, the man felt relieved: "Okay, keep an eye on things. I'm going to get back to work."

Fu Yancheng stood next to Chu Xue: "If he goes too far later, don't blame me for demanding a formal title in advance."

He absolutely would not allow anyone to bully the little girl again and again.

Chu Xue glanced at him but didn't reply directly: "You go ahead and do your thing."

With that, she went to find Mr. and Mrs. Liu. She told them that Liu Shangang had come this way: "I don't care what he's up to, just pin it on me, understand?"

Liu's father couldn't stay idle. Seeing everyone else busy, he didn't want to just sit around doing nothing, so he asked Liu's mother to bring down the brambles he had cut on the mountain in the winter. They lit a fire with wood chips and started weaving a basket.

They had just finished their discussion when they saw Liu Shangang walking over.

He probably knew that appearing at this time was a bit awkward, so he rubbed his hands and said, "Second brother, this house was built pretty quickly."

Liu Shanliang ignored him and quickened his pace.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Liu Shangang coughed lightly and asked to himself, "This house must have cost a lot of money to build, right?"

Liu Shanliang stuck a handful of brambles into the ashes: "This has nothing to do with you."

Liu Shangang saw that the second son finally spoke: "I was just asking casually."

Liu Shanliang didn't want him to be in the way: "You didn't care before, and you don't need to now. If you have nothing else to do, go back."

Liu Shangang looked around and said, "Second brother, even though you've separated from the family and are living independently, we're still one family."

Liu Shanliang lost his patience: "Stop with these old clichés, I really don't want to hear them."

Liu Shangang tried hard to suppress his anger: "Second brother, the Ge family has been making a fuss. The Party Secretary and the village chief mediated for a long time before they finally agreed to settle the matter with three hundred yuan."

Liu Shanliang deftly wove the basket: "How much you want has nothing to do with me. You don't need to come and tell me. After all, I've already separated and moved out."
