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

Chapter 167 Who is truly wronged?
Liu Shangang stood up abruptly: "If it weren't for my eldest son borrowing money everywhere to get a letter of understanding, do you think the three of us could have gotten out safely? Who is really wronged?"
If you hadn't had malicious intentions and come after my husband, would we have become the pariahs of the village?

"In all honesty, I didn't ask for a single penny more. The three hundred was to appease the Ge family's anger, and the two hundred was for my son's leg treatment and dentures. If you don't agree, then I, Liushangang, will abandon all pretense of honor and come to your doorstep every day to block your way and cause trouble at your workplace. You decide what to do."

Seeing that Liu Shangang had finished speaking, Ge Xiulan knew it was her turn to go on stage.

He slapped his thigh and started wailing, "My God, this is just too much to bear!"

Her shout startled the Chen brothers, Weidong and Weiping, who had left earlier. If they were to cause a scene, their already ruined reputations would likely be dragged out and dragged back into the spotlight.

The two quickly ran into the main room: "Stop, stop, stop! Let's discuss this together, don't make a fuss anymore."

Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Ge Xiulan pretended to wipe away her tears: "Do you think I wanted this? It's all because of your mother that my family not only lost its reputation, but also offended my husband's family and my own family. If you don't compensate me, then no one will have a good time."

Finally, the three members of the Chen family went out to borrow money, and after running around for more than three hours, they finally managed to scrape together 500 yuan.

Chen Jiefang called the neighborhood committee and two neighbors to act as mediators. They had Liu Shangang and Ge Xiulan write a written agreement stating that once the money was received, the feud between the two families would be settled and they would not be allowed to come to their door to claim compensation again.

After taking the money, Liu Shangang did not return home by the same route, but instead went around to the road in the neighboring commune.

Ge Xiulan asked with a puzzled look, "Dad, isn't this the way back to the commune?"

Liu Shangang quickened his pace: "The Chen family has found so many people to act as intermediaries, what do you think their intentions are?"

Ge Xiulan broke out in a cold sweat: "You mean Chen Jiefang did it on purpose?"

Liu Shangang didn't answer his wife's question, but instead carefully determined their direction. Ge Xiulan was a little scared of the unfamiliar surroundings, so she quickened her pace and took her husband's arm: "Where are we going?"

Liu Shangang said somewhat irritably, "Where can we go? Naturally, we'll take a detour back to the commune."

By the time they returned to the commune clinic after taking this detour, the sky was already beginning to lighten, and the two men were exhausted when they arrived back at the clinic.

Liu Jiandong opened his eyes as they pushed the door open and came in: "Dad, why are you only coming back now?"

Liu Shangang's eyes were sore, but luckily there was an empty bed next to him: "I'll take a nap first. Be alert and don't let anyone get close to me."

When Liu Jiandong saw his father's bulging pockets, he knew that he had made money: "Okay, you guys close your eyes for a bit."

Perhaps relieved to have borrowed the money, Ge Xiulan lay down, and the couple fell asleep instantly.

When the doctor from the health center came to check on them in the morning, the couple was woken up: "Your son can go home and rest. Try to give him more nutrition during this time, which will help him recover."

They were lucky; as soon as they left Liushangang, they encountered a mule cart that was picking up educated youth. Without caring whether there were any extra seats, they immediately got on.

Fortunately, the vehicle was big enough that when the village chief brought the educated youth out, they could barely squeeze in, but everyone had to carry their own belongings.

The village chief glanced at the people in the cart, took out a handful of feed and fed it to the mule tied to the tree: "You've worked hard today, old buddy. After you've eaten this feed, we'll set off."
