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

Chapter 158 Response
The Party Secretary's wife, listening to their conversation, couldn't sit still: "Listen to that, they get all excited as soon as they hear there's alcohol involved."

Then he turned to Chuxue and said, "Xue, your Uncle Fu Nian's doctor friend said that he can no longer drink like he used to, and you younger generation can no longer indulge him."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xue said, "If that's really the case, then health is more important. We really can't buy wine for the Party Secretary. I'll make some good food as a thank you gift. Even if we're a family, we can't let the Party Secretary work for nothing, right?"

The Party Secretary's wife smiled and said, "We're all family, it's only right that he helps out."

They were just being polite, but I couldn't take it seriously. Even close brothers keep clear accounts, let alone someone from the grandfather's generation who's within the fifth degree of kinship: "The Party Secretary has been very kind to my family these days, so it's only right that I show him some respect."

Upon hearing this, the Party Secretary remarked, "Look, she still has to go to school. Chu Xue's words are so comforting."

The Party Secretary's wife chuckled and said, "You're so old, how can you act like a child? Aren't you afraid Xue'er will laugh at you?"

The Party Secretary put down his work; “I’m his third grandfather, she wouldn’t laugh at me.”

For a moment, everyone in the courtyard burst into laughter.

The Party Secretary suddenly thought of something: "First Snow, where are you going to put it as a stirrer?"

Chu Xue was just waiting for these words: "Secretary, isn't there a vacant lot to the right of the homestead? And it's not far from my house. Uncle Li Chun's house is where the cement mixing plant is located. It's perfect for us to save trouble."

The Party Secretary thought for a moment and agreed: "Okay, then I'll have them take their own coal ash there later."

After the matter was settled, Chu Xue left and headed towards the village entrance.

She deliberately chose that location. Firstly, it had been used as a mud mixing site before, so it could be used directly after a little cleaning. Secondly, it was not far from the new house, making it convenient to transport mud. The east wing could be easily pulled up to the top with ropes.

Most importantly, this place is located on high ground, offering a clear view of the back wall of their old house. The eldest son's family is currently unable to raise enough money to pay the Ge family, and they might resort to unconventional methods.

My aunt had mentioned before that the windows of the house where his parents lived had been broken and hadn't been repaired when the third branch of the family lived there. They probably thought the bonuses they received would be hidden in that room, and she was just waiting for that. When they arrived at the village entrance, Fu Yancheng had already driven the car out of the threshing ground: "Sorry, I had some business to attend to at the Party Secretary's place, so I'm late."

As Fu Yancheng started the car, he smiled and said, "It's not too late, let's go now."

After a bumpy ride to the reservoir construction site, the people thought some kind of leader had arrived. When they stopped the car and got out, several of the site managers all ran over: "Who are you?"

The question had barely left her mouth when she saw Chu Xue: "Hey, aren't you that kind of person?"

Chu Xue quickly stepped forward: "Yes, it's me, Liu Shanliang's daughter."

"How is your father?"

Chu Xue bowed deeply to them and said, "My father has been discharged from the hospital, and the surgery was very successful. He will have the steel nails removed after six months of recuperation. Thank you for making an exception and giving us an advance on his treatment costs. Thank you."

The people in charge were surprised that the girl would thank them. It would be a lie to say they weren't moved: "It's just what we should do. We're relieved that your father's leg is alright."

Chu Xue nodded: "I've come here today to reimburse my medical expenses."

At this point, someone spoke up: "Let's talk in the office then."

Liu Renyi did not go in; he stayed by the car.

Fu Yancheng was worried and stayed close behind Chu Xue.
