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

Chapter 218 What happened over there?

After parting ways with Liu Xinmin, the village electrician, at the entrance of the old house, the father and daughter heard sounds of things being smashed and broken coming from the main house before they even entered the house.

The father and daughter exchanged a glance, then quickly walked a few steps into the house.

When Liu's mother saw them come in, she said, "You've come back just in time."

Turning to his little daughter, he called out, "Chunxiao, serve the soup."

Chunxiao responded and placed the washbasin she was carrying on the table in front of her father: "Dad, wash your hands first, I'll go get the food."

Hearing the commotion from the eldest son's house, Liu's father looked at Liu's mother and asked, "What's going on over there now?"

Liu's mother snorted: "What else could it be? Dongzi had a fight with the family."

Mr. Liu was puzzled: "What's there to make a fuss about? If it weren't for him, our family wouldn't be in this state now."

Mother Liu brought over the steamed buns made from two kinds of dough: "He wants his eldest son and his wife to take him to the city hospital."

Upon hearing this, Liu's father fell silent, thinking to himself: Qiangzi had borrowed money from all over the village to save his eldest son and his wife, but he hadn't paid it back yet, and he had also fallen out with the Ge family, so it was impossible for him to help them. Even if his eldest son and his wife wanted to take him, they were powerless to do so, not to mention that they probably weren't in the mood for it right now.

When the three families divided the property, they didn't receive a single penny, nor did they have the means to help them. As for his own family, even if the second daughter were in charge now, he wouldn't lend money to anyone who wanted to harm his daughter, let alone have any money.

As soon as the food was served, Liu's mother spoke first: "There's nothing much going on at the new house. I'll start working tomorrow, otherwise we'll all be starving by the end of the year."

Seeing that Chuxue was about to speak, she interrupted her directly, saying, "As for the mattress and clothes, I'll make them tonight, and I've also spoken to your Aunt Cuihong. She'll come to help me, and there'll be plenty of time." Chuxue turned to look at Liu's father, "Dad, go to the Yu family later and ask Old Yu to choose a date for us."

Mr. Liu sipped the soup in his bowl and said, "Yes, I'll go over tomorrow."

After saying that, he looked up at Chuxue and said, "You will have your graduation exam in about half a month. My leg is fine now, and even if your mother goes to work, she can take care of herself. You should go back to school. You can't let it affect your graduation exam."

Seeing that all three of them were looking at her, Chu Xue nodded and said, "Then I'll go back to school next Monday."

After finishing their meal, everyone tidied up and prepared to go back to their rooms to rest.

Chu Xue released her spiritual power to look outside and saw that the two people had moved from behind Li's outhouse to the side of Li's firewood chopping block. They probably couldn't stand the smell of the outhouse and thought that since it was dark now, no one would go to get firewood at this time, so they changed places.

After closing the windows and entering my room after the first snowfall, I came across a traditional Chinese medicine clinic in Beijing today. I was thinking of going in to buy some Chinese herbal medicine seeds, but unfortunately, they said that the roof of the small warehouse where the seeds were stored was leaking and had ruined all the seeds. They said that the store was not selling any seeds now.

However, an old doctor in the shop took pity on her disappointed expression and took out a small packet of seeds from the counter for her. He said that he would collect them when he came across them while sorting medicinal herbs, and that the seeds in the packet were a mixed bag, so she could take them if she didn't mind.

She naturally didn't mind, but she didn't take it for nothing. Using her basket as cover, she took out a handful of fruit candies that she had previously stored in her space and gave them to the old doctor as an exchange.

After opening the paper package and sorting through the seeds, there were about a dozen kinds, but not many of each kind.

Yuanzi wishes everyone a Happy New Year! May the Year of the Snake bring you good fortune, all your wishes come true, good luck, and happiness.
