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

Chapter 1866 What business is it of yours that you stopped him?
Chu Xue and Wei Da Nu Niang exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with smiles.

The villagers all said that Aunt Zhang was unreasonable, but after getting to know her a few times, they found that she was actually quite a nice person. It seems that the rumors were not true.

After thanking them, the two left their things at the Zhang family's house and went empty-handed to the Hong family's house next door: "Is anyone home?"

Soon a woman's voice came from inside the house: "Who is it?"

Chu Xue took a step towards the gate: "We'd like to come and exchange a chicken. Do you have any?"

People from the family compound often came to exchange supplies, so the woman wasn't surprised: "Come in?"

Actually, she had heard the commotion in the neighboring yard before. The two people coming over to exchange chickens at this time must have heard it from Granny Zhang next door. Although the two didn't get along, it didn't affect anything else.

The woman led them directly to the backyard: "These are the two. They've stopped laying eggs, so keeping them is a waste of food. If you like them, you can take them for seven yuan each."

Aunt Wei glanced at Chu Xue, then turned to the woman and said, "Could you please help us tie up that cattail fluff?"

The woman saw that they had chosen a speckled chicken and said, "It's not easy to buy chickens in the middle of winter. Why don't you take that one with you?"

Chu Xue waved her hand and said, "No need, just take one back to nourish my family."

Neither of them were very fat, and if it weren't for the need to cover her up, she wouldn't have been able to take either of them.

The woman knew she was being unreasonable, so she chuckled and said, "Alright, I'll tie you up for now."

With everything taken care of, Aunt Wei and Chuxue didn't linger any longer and hurried home with their things.

When they arrived at the gate, they saw Fu Yancheng being stopped. Chu Xue's good mood vanished instantly because she recognized the woman as Ding Runlan, Fu Yancheng's rumored ex-girlfriend.

Her mother-in-law had mentioned before that Ding Runlan had married into the family compound, but she never expected to see this scene today. This is right at the main gate. Was this woman doing it on purpose, or...?
Just as Fu Yancheng was about to argue with him, he spotted Chu Xue with a cold expression. He quickly took a step back and jogged over to Chu Xue, saying, "Wife, don't misunderstand. I was just about to go home when she rushed out and stopped me."

Chu Xue looked at Ding Runlan: "Why did you stop him?"

Ding Runlan was a little intimidated by Chu Xue: "Um, um, it's like this, my daughter has a fever, and I don't have any money on hand. I'd like to borrow some from Fu Yancheng."

Chu Xue's expression darkened further: "You borrowed from him? Didn't you get married? How come that man can't support you and makes you have to borrow from others?"

Ding Runlan didn't expect Chu Xue to be so sharp-tongued, showing her no respect whatsoever: "My man isn't home right now, that's why I panicked and lost my composure. Can't you understand?"

Fu Yancheng got angry too: "Who are you yelling at? I already told you, my wife is the head of the household. Go find someone else. Besides, your cousin lives in the family compound. Shouldn't you ask her for help in an emergency?"
What do you mean by stopping me at the gate? You're really crazy.

Ding Runlan never expected that Fu Yancheng would help his wife scold her: "Fu Yancheng, we grew up in the same compound, how could you treat me like this?"

When Chu Xue saw someone looking this way, she couldn't hold back any longer. She took a step forward, ignored Chu Xue's struggles, and dragged her towards her cousin Ding Runping's house.

Ding Runlan never expected that Chu Xue would dare to attack her in the family compound in front of so many people: "Let me go, what do you want to do?"

Chu Xue was really angry this time: "Shut up! If you dare to yell again, don't blame me for slapping you."
