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

Chapter 216 What are these people trying to do?

Soon, the police and military escorted the arrested people away, and three soldiers joined the bus that Chuxue was on.

Someone asked curiously, "Comrade, what did those people who were arrested do?"

The soldier being questioned sat up straight and replied, "Comrade, this is classified information; I cannot disclose it."

Upon hearing this, no one dared to utter another word.

Fortunately, it's already summer, so the broken car door didn't affect driving, and we soon arrived at the place where we got off after the first snow.

When she got off the bus, the soldiers even helped her carry her basket to the ground, which greatly increased her positive feelings towards soldiers.

When they got home, it was already dark. As soon as they reached the village entrance, Chunxiao ran towards them with Zhuifeng: "Second sister, why are you so late? Mom was so worried."

He then tried to help her with her basket, saying, "It's alright, the bus I was on broke down on the way, and it was only recently repaired."

Upon hearing this, Chunxiao exclaimed, "Wow, your luck is truly unbelievable! You actually managed to run into this?"

While the two sisters were talking, Zhuifeng wagged its tail and kept barking at Chuxue: "Zhuifeng, what's wrong? Are you worried about me too?"

Upon hearing this, Zhui wagged its tail even more enthusiastically, its expression as cute as a child pleading: "Let's go home."

Chu Xue, remembering that they were digging a well at home, asked, "Chunxiao, has the well near the new house produced any water yet?"

Chunxiao gets excited whenever this is mentioned: "Uncle Liangzi and his men worked all day and found water after digging to a depth of more than three meters. But Dad said to dig one or two meters deeper, because if it's too shallow, we might run out of water early in a drought year."

Uncle Liangzi is a very honest man; he drilled to a depth of over six meters before telling everyone to stop. He said they'd come back tomorrow to lay down the bottom with stones, and then they could start building the well walls. I heard they said it would be finished in three days at most.”

As she spoke, she excitedly turned around and walked backwards to face Chu Xue: "Second Sister, Uncle Jiu moved the gate over today, and it was all installed by dark. Now Zhui Feng can finally get a good night's sleep." Chu Xue hadn't expected the well to be dug so smoothly. After all, she had heard many people say that sometimes you could dig for more than ten meters without finding water if you didn't find the right spot. It seems that professional things should be done by professionals. She should thank Fu Yancheng and the others who helped with the exploration.

Thinking of this, I decided to take some time in the next few days to go there and see if I could make some meat sauce and send it to the reservoir. That would be the end of the matter.

When the two sisters arrived home, they heard Qu Aihua's voice: "Mom, you've gone too far! That was fine grain that my family brought for me. How could you take the whole bowl?"

Chu Xue looked at Chun Xiao: "Qu Aihua is back?"

Chunxiao nodded: "Yes, the old man asked Liu Jianqiang to pick up the person today."

Chu Xue didn't expect that after writing the letter severing ties with the Liu family, this girl would start calling them by their given names. However, she didn't correct her, since they weren't really blood relatives anyway.

Just as they were about to enter the courtyard, Chu Xue suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure flashing by in the distance. She immediately turned her head away, certain that it wasn't her imagination.

She pretended to enter the courtyard as if nothing was wrong, but quickly released her spiritual power to probe in that direction. She discovered that there were two people hiding behind the outhouse of the Li family next door in the distance, and they were not from their village. What was going on?
They shouldn't be the same people on the street today, but what are these people trying to do?
It seems things aren't going to be peaceful in the village. She'll have to remind her family not to go out alone: ​​"Chunxiao, has Dad come back yet?"

Chunxiao shook her head: "No, Uncle Xinming had time today and helped us install the electrical wires. When I came back, only the south side of the house was not finished. I guess it should be completed soon."

The two entered the house while talking.

When Liu's mother saw her daughters come in, she asked, "Chuxue, why are you so late getting home?"

Chu Xue repeated what she had told Chun Xiao before. The soldiers had warned them today, and she didn't plan to tell her family about what happened on the road, so as not to frighten them.
