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

Chapter 156 I didn't expect he was overthinking it.
After shouting, Liu Jianqiang ignored the expressions of the people in the courtyard and walked straight out.

Old Man Liu watched his eldest grandson about to leave and asked, "Qiangzi, where are you going?"

Liu Jianqiang said angrily, "Go pick up my wife."

He'd made up his mind; whoever wanted to handle it could handle it, and he wouldn't get involved anymore.

Liu Ruxiang was naturally frightened by the scene today. She had never seen her family members fight like this before. Holding her frightened son, she said, "Mom, Maidong is scared. I'll take him home first."

But before she could finish speaking, Liu Shangang said, "You've seen the situation at home. If we can't raise the three hundred yuan to compensate your uncle's family, there will never be peace in the family. Do you think we can borrow some money from your husband's family?"

Liu Ruxiang never expected the fire to spread to her: "Father, the Zhang family is a large family that hasn't split up yet, and my husband isn't the eldest son. He doesn't have much say in the Zhang family to begin with, so I'm afraid he can't help with this loan."

Upon hearing this, Ge Xiulan became furious: "How do you know it won't work before we've even tried?"

Old Man Liu looked at his eldest granddaughter: "If there were any other way, I wouldn't have made things difficult for you. If all else fails, you can ask Xiaoguang to borrow some money from people he's on good terms with. He can pay it back when the family has the money. It's just to ask him to help with the cash flow."

Since her grandfather had spoken, Liu Ruxiang had no choice but to agree: "Grandpa, I understand. I'll go back and tell Xiaoguang to think of a way, but I can't guarantee whether we can borrow it."

Ge Xiulan glared at her daughter and said, "Liu Ruxiang, can't you be more responsible? The family is in dire straits right now. As Liu's son-in-law, shouldn't Zhang Xiaoguang lend a hand?"

"Mom, you're a daughter-in-law too, why don't you think about me?"
"My second uncle had such a big accident before, and Xia Qiu didn't bring a single penny home, did she?"

"She's been married for six months and still isn't pregnant. No wonder her in-laws don't value her. What's the point of comparing yourself to her?"

Besides, are the two families in the same situation? Have you thought this through? Only when your maternal family is doing well can you be well; only when your two brothers are doing well can you stand tall.

Xia Qiu doesn't even have a brother to stand up for her; there's no way she'd dare ask her in-laws for money.

She said this with a mocking expression. Luckily, Chu Xue didn't hear her, or she would have slapped her across the face.

Chu Xue only just remembered that she hadn't gone to the construction site to claim reimbursement for the new house yet.

I haven't had a single day of peace since I got back, and I completely forgot about it.

Seeing that it was still early, he said, "Dad, since I'm free right now, I'll go to the reservoir construction site."

Liu's mother slapped her thigh and said, "That's right, I almost forgot about this. We should go abroad to avoid any more problems if we take too long."

If it weren't for the reward money, she probably would have gone there long ago.

Seeing that she was about to go on an errand, Fu Yancheng said, "I'll drive you there. I can lend a hand if anything happens."

Mr. Liu originally wanted to refuse, but Mrs. Liu spoke first: "That's fine. With Comrade Fu going with you, we can feel more at ease."

However, after she finished speaking, she waved to Liu Cunyi on the roof: "Cunyi, come down for a moment."

Liu Cunyi slid down from the roof like a monkey in no time: "Auntie, what's wrong?"

Liu's mother pointed at Chuxue: "You accompany Chuxue to the reservoir construction site."

Fu Yancheng thought he could spend some time alone with the girl, but he was wrong.

However, he was quite happy to be with Chuxue, since he would be going on another mission after returning today and it would probably be a long time before he came back.
