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

Chapter 194 When shall we sign the agreement?
After thinking for a moment, Ding Surong said, "It's alright, I'll ask around in a bit and see if there's a solution."

She really didn't want to face Zhang Yijia's face all day long; just hearing her voice annoyed her.

Anyway, my family gave me a lot of money, so if I run out of money, I can just ask them for more.

After thinking it over, she turned around and strode after Chuxue, saying, "Comrade Chuxue, please wait a moment."

Chu Xue turned to look at Ding Surong, who had caught up with her: "Is there anything else?"

Ding Surong glanced around and asked, "I'd like to ask if, if I buy your old house, could you have the bricklayer who built it help me build the courtyard wall?"

Chu Xue stared at her for a while: "I'll sell my house for fifty yuan. If you want to build a courtyard wall, you'll have to pay an extra ten yuan. Also, if you want to build a courtyard wall, you'll have to open a separate gate. That's because when Chu Xue divided the family property, the main gate was shared by several families. That was agreed upon beforehand. Since we're moving, there's no need to cause trouble over such a small matter."

"If you're okay with it, then I won't allow anyone else to live in this house. We can sign an agreement first, you pay the money upfront, and I'll have someone build the courtyard wall ahead of time."

Chu Xue did this to annoy the Liu family and make things difficult for them.

Besides, I didn't intend for Ding Surong to have an easy time either.

As soon as the courtyard wall is erected, the Liu family will definitely feel stifled. Once Ding Surong moves in, she'll have a hard time.

As for her and Liu Jiandong, it's a done deal. Since they are the official couple in the book, they can never be separated in this lifetime. But there is absolutely no way they can live a good life by stepping on the second wife's family.

Ding Surong had inquired about the village's housing prices beforehand, and this price was reasonable, so she agreed after a little consideration: "When do you have time? Let's sign the agreement."

Seeing her anxious, Chu Xue said, "There's no rush. After all, my family can't move anytime soon. It will take at least another week."

Ding Surong said with a troubled expression, "Can't we hurry up?"

First Snow wouldn't let her lead the way: "I'm sorry, the new house needs to be ventilated for a few days, otherwise the humidity will be too high and it's not good for your health. Besides, we still have a lot of things to arrange. If you can't wait, you can look at other places." Ding Surong could only wave her hand and say, "No need, I'll wait. Please try to hurry up. When can we sign the agreement?"

She thought that once the agreement was signed, the matter would be settled, and besides, the construction of the courtyard wall could be put on the agenda sooner.

Chu Xue didn't deliberately make things difficult for her anymore: "My family is treating the people who helped us to a meal today, so we can't do it now. Let's do it tomorrow, and then we can go to the village officials together to be witnesses."

After agreeing on the terms, they went about their respective tasks.

As soon as Chu Xue arrived at the new house, she called out to everyone, "The food over there is almost ready. Everyone, tidy up and let's finish work early today."

They were already captivated by the aroma of fish, and upon hearing the young master's words, they immediately hurried to finish work.

My family had received the news and had already brought over the bowls; they had been waiting for dinner.

Although they were really craving fish, the aroma of the fish made them work hard to get the job done.

While everyone was packing up and washing their hands, Liu's mother pushed a cart over with steamed buns made from two kinds of flour. Each person received three large spoonfuls of tofu stewed with fish and five steamed buns made from two kinds of flour.

Some people, who didn't care about their families, took their portions and sat down to eat.

But many men wanted their wives and children to have a good meal, so they hurried home after getting their share, waiting to go to the old house to get some egg drop soup.

Whether they eat it themselves or share it with their families at home, their family doesn't care.
