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

Chapter 177 How Can You Be So Cold-Blooded and Heartless?
Chu Xue's attack was incredibly swift; she landed several punches directly on Liu Jianqiang's stomach. By the time the others from the main branch reacted, Liu Jianqiang couldn't even scream anymore.

Ge Xiulan let out a "whoosh" and pounced on him. Chu Xue grabbed Liu Jianqiang and threw him off, and the mother and son fell to the ground.

Liu Shanliang exclaimed angrily, "Liu Chuxue, have you gone mad?"

Chu Xue said without changing her expression, "Yes, you've driven me crazy. I've already let you off the hook for my father's sake, but you insist on making trouble for me, so I'll grant your wish."

The elderly couple from the Liu family had been pretending to be dead inside the house, but they came out after hearing their eldest grandson's wailing.

Seeing his eldest grandson's miserable state, Old Man Liu roared, "Liu Chuxue, he's your cousin! How could you treat him so badly?"

Chu Xue looked disdainful. "You reap what you sow. Besides, we've severed ties. He's not my cousin. Blame him for being the eldest son of the main branch. He took the beating for his parents and younger brother."

After saying that, he looked at the other members of the first wife's family and said, "I'll say it again, don't drag our second wife's family into your messy affairs, or don't blame me for being ruthless."

Liu Ruhua was still young, and said with a resentful look, "Liu Chuxue, how can you be so cold-blooded and heartless?"

Her words caused not only Chuxue to react strangely, but also the villagers watching outside.

Chu Xue burst into laughter: "You're thirteen, not three. You allow your parents to shamelessly scheme against me. You see your crazy cousin's mother, who was framed by your family, causing trouble for my mother. How dare you say I'm cold-blooded and heartless? All those years of your education have been for nothing. You might as well have been illiterate. Anyway, you're just as bad at distinguishing right from wrong and making a fuss."

Liu Ruhua was furious that Chuxue would belittle her like that. She retorted angrily, "You, you, you, talking nonsense!" Chuxue's face was full of sarcasm. "If it weren't for my father's concern that we all share the surname Liu, and that he didn't want my grandparents to lose face, didn't want the Liu family to be disgraced, and didn't want the villagers to point fingers at us, do you think your parents could stay here peacefully?"

Liu Ruhua was so ashamed and indignant after being scolded by Chuxue: "Don't talk like you're so great. Don't forget that you took five hundred yuan from us and forced Grandpa and Grandma and our family to sever ties with your second branch. So what if you're heartless and ungrateful?"

Chu Xue looked disdainful: "You want me to be a sucker?"
Even if your parents did such heinous things, you think you can let them off the hook just because they can't even write two characters like "Liu"? You're dreaming! Birds of a feather flock together, you're really shameless.

That money was compensation from your eldest son's family; it's what I deserve. What are you so upset about? Besides, are you waiting for me to scheme against you later?"

Liu Ruhua was furious: "It's one thing for you to sever ties with our eldest branch of the family, but why do you have to sever ties with Grandpa and Grandma as well? They raised Second Uncle, and Second Uncle is a heartless wretch."

Chu Xue's face turned even colder, and she slapped Liu Ruhua across the face: "You think I'm being polite? What right do you have to criticize my father?"

At this moment, Old Man Liu pointed at Chu Xue and said, "You've gone too far! Is what Ru Hua said wrong?"

Chu Xue sneered inwardly. She had originally planned to settle accounts with the Liu family elders slowly, but he was so impatient: "Did you really give birth to my father?"

Upon hearing this, Old Man Liu was startled, and a hint of panic flashed across Granny Liu's face: "You brat, you weren't born of us, so what if your father popped out of a rock?"
