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

Chapter 171 The Third Wife Wants to Divide the House

The main house was in complete chaos, while the elderly Liu couple sat anxiously in their own room: "Old man, what should we do?"

Old Man Liu's brows furrowed deeply, his mood extremely bad: "How should I know what to do?"

His biggest worry now is whether the third wife will propose dividing the family property now that the first wife's family has encountered such a problem.

It's true that no one knows a son better than his father. In the next room, someone said, "You've seen the situation now. If we don't bring up the division of the family soon, we'll have to share these debts with the eldest son's family. We can let it go, but we can't let the children suffer because of the eldest son's selfishness, can we?"

Liu Shanling sighed heavily: "Even if I bring it up, I'm afraid Father won't agree."

"How do you know he won't agree if you don't try? This concerns the reputation and future of our children. The second wife can separate from the family, so why do we have to be tied together?"

Chu Xue deliberately slowed her pace a few steps to hear everything clearly: Very good, this was exactly the effect she wanted.

In their past life, they harmed the second wife's family and brought happiness to the Liu family. In this life, they can forget about it.

Educated Youth Home

Because Ding Surong was the only female among the three educated youths in this group, she was somewhat excluded from the other three older educated youths in the room, which made Ding Surong very uncomfortable.

Sure enough, Zhang Yijia, who shared the room with him, was looking sullen: "Don't put your things on our bunk. Can't you see how dirty the bottom of those packages is?"

Ding Surong had never been treated like this before: "There's only so much space, where else can we put it if not on the bed?"

"Hey, you're getting temperamental now? If you think the place is too small, then move out."

Ding Surong's eyes reddened with anger: "You're bullying me."

After saying that, she buried her face in the package and started crying.

The commotion naturally alerted the male educated youth next door. The head of the ward, Wang Zhijun, walked to the female educated youth's door and asked, "What happened?"

Zhang Yijia said in an unfriendly tone, "The new educated youth are complaining about the small place and are throwing a tantrum."

Hearing this, Ding Surong became even angrier: "You were the one who bullied me, a newcomer, and now you're trying to pin the blame on me. How can you lie like that?"

Zhang Yijia rolled her eyes: "I just reminded you not to put your package on our bunk, and then you got angry. Did I say anything wrong?"

Ding Surong didn't want to waste time arguing with them, so she quickly left the dormitory and asked, "Head of the village, could you tell me if there are any vacant houses in the village?"

Wang Zhijun actually knew what she meant, but he still asked, "Why are you asking this?"

Ding Surong said directly, "I don't want to live in the same room as them. I want to move out and live on my own."

Wang Zhijun kindly advised, "Living outside might not be any better. You should think it over carefully before you decide."

Ding Surong wasn't listening to any of this: "Chief, I've made up my mind. I want to move out. Can you help me talk to the village?"

I was new to the village and didn't know anything about it.

Wang Zhijun thought for a moment: "There aren't many families in the village with empty rooms. Even if you move out, you'll probably have to share a room with their daughter or granddaughter. If you can accept that, I'll take you to the village committee to find the village officials."

Upon hearing this, Ding Surong hesitated. If things were to go as the village head suggested, what would be the difference between that and living in a youth settlement? "Aren't there any empty courtyards in the village?"

Wang Zhijun shook his head: "There really aren't any. Nowadays, most families live together as a large family. There aren't many empty houses to begin with, so how could there be an empty yard?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Surong truly hated the person who wrote the whistleblower letter.
