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

Chapter 21 Shut up, all of you!

Liu Chuxue ignored the person who asked the question and pushed through the crowd to walk straight to her mother's side: "Aunt, are you addicted to bullying our second branch of the family? Do you think that because my father is injured and not at home, no one can protect us, so you are even more unscrupulous?"

"How dare you speak to your elders like that, you brat?"

"Am I wrong? Do you deserve to be my elder? What elder would ruin the reputation of their own junior?"

The three questions put Ge Xiulan in a very difficult position.

The onlookers whispered among themselves: "Chu Xue is right. Shangang's wife is too much of a bully. She is still our niece. With what she did today, she is not worthy of being an elder."

At this moment, Granny Liu also realized what was going on with her eldest daughter-in-law and felt that she had gone too far. After all, if this brat's reputation was ruined, how could the Liu family's reputation be good? "Eldest daughter-in-law, what nonsense are you spouting all day long?"

She naturally had no idea what her eldest daughter-in-law was planning. She only thought that this brat was about to graduate and get married. If her reputation was ruined, how could she ask the Chen family for an exorbitant price? Was her eldest daughter-in-law out of her mind? "Chuxue, don't listen to your aunt's nonsense. She's worried about you but doesn't know how to speak properly, which is why she didn't explain clearly."

If Liu Chuxue hadn't gone back home again last night, she probably would have been moved by these words. But now she's determined to make a big scene, so how could she let her have her way? "What happened today has really opened my eyes. Grandma, you and the younger generation are blocking my mother from borrowing money, and my aunt is even willing to ruin my reputation. You're all ganging up on us and making it impossible for our second branch of the family to survive."

A murmur arose in the crowd: "What Chuxue said makes sense. It's one thing for the Liu family not to pay for the second son's leg treatment, but they're also preventing the second son's family from lending money. How can they be so heartless and not want their son to get better?"

"That's really bullying."

"The old couple from the Liu family always tell everyone that they don't have any sexist ideas and that they treat their second son and the other two sons the same. But this incident has exposed their true colors. If something had happened to their eldest or third son, they definitely wouldn't have done this." Old Man Liu, who had rushed over, heard everyone's discussion and roared with a livid face, "What's all this fuss about? Aren't you ashamed? Get yourselves back home."

After yelling, he turned and walked home.

He truly didn't expect his wife to be as stupid as his eldest daughter-in-law. This was giving the villagers something to gossip about. After today's incident, their family's reputation was ruined.

On the way back, he kept frowning and thinking of a solution: Since things have come to this point, it's embarrassing anyway, so why not go all the way? The reason we didn't separate the family before was to let the second wife help raise a few grandchildren. Now that the second son is struggling to take care of himself, it's better to separate and let his children and grandchildren get rid of the burden.

It was rare for the village to be so lively, and the villagers' gossipy hearts burned like wildfire. As soon as the Liu family left, the crowd gathered again outside the Liu family's gate.

Granny Liu entered the courtyard cursing all the way. She turned around and glared angrily at the three women from the second branch of the family who followed her in. She gritted her teeth and shouted, "Close the gate properly and get in here!"

But as soon as she finished speaking, she heard Old Man Liu's angry voice: "Ruhua, go to the field and call your father and third uncle back."

Although Liu Ruhua from the eldest son's family was unwilling to make this trip, seeing her master's dark face, she dared not say 'no' and ran out after responding.
