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

Chapter 220 Like begets like, and a rat's son knows how to dig a hole.
Upon hearing his wife's words, Liu Shanling stopped what he was doing: "I was thinking of trying to lower the price, but it seems that won't work now."

He thought of something and looked up at his eldest daughter: "Do you know which educated youth bought this house?"

Liu Xiaoman was fiddling with her new clothes when she heard her father ask, "Is it the new educated youth, Ding?"

Liu Shanling's face darkened: "I heard from people in the fields that her family is well-off, and they are even a cadre family. If they have already reached an agreement, I'm afraid the second wife's side won't easily give in."

Su Hongjuan looked worried: "We don't have much money. Even if the second wife agrees, we still can't come up with the money."

Liu Xiaoman looked up and said, "You guys weren't trying to get something for nothing, were you?"

Su Hongjuan glared at her: "Look at what you're saying. We can do such a thing. Your father and I are just thinking of giving a portion first, and then paying back a little bit of the rest every year."

Liu Xiaoman glanced at her father: "Now, my second uncle's family is ruled by my sister Chuxue, and my second uncle and his family can't make decisions."

Upon hearing this, Liu Shanling's face darkened: "He's just a girl who wants to be in charge. I don't know what my second brother and sister-in-law are thinking?"

Su Hongjuan suddenly spoke up: "There was a nephew before, but now that the kinship is severed, there is naturally no need for the nephew. I'm afraid that Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law have the idea of ​​finding a son-in-law."

Liu Shanling smiled dismissively: "So what if he takes in a son-in-law? Does that cover up the fact that he has no son? He'll still be laughed at."

After saying that, he immediately added, "We absolutely cannot let them sell the house to Ding Zhiqing."

After saying that, he looked at Su Hongjuan and said, "Go and take a walk around the village tomorrow."

Su Hongjuan didn't quite understand what he meant: "What do you want me to do?"

Liu Shanling glanced at his eldest daughter, then leaned close to Su Hongjuan's ear and whispered, "You do this..."

Su Hongjuan's eyes widened, and she said in disbelief, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? You yourself said that Ding Surong comes from a cadre family. What if people find out about our family?"

Before she could finish speaking, Liu Shanling stopped her: "We're just passing on a message. What happens afterward has nothing to do with our family."

He spoke in a low voice, but Chu Xue's hearing was so sharp that she heard his thoughts perfectly. Chu Xue thought to herself: "Like begets like."

He really is Old Man Liu's son, just as ruthless.

Trying to ruin someone's reputation for a few houses? Luckily, my father isn't of the Liu family bloodline, or I'd be disgusted to death.

Hearing this, Chu Xue lost all interest in listening.

A short while later, the lights in the three bedrooms also went out.

After waiting for another half hour, the two people outside the courtyard made a sound.

As soon as the first snow fell, they saw one of them lift the other up from the south-facing room of the main house onto the roof. Then, the person below took a running start and climbed onto the wall.

Wow, this one's got some skills.

The two of them headed straight for the room where Old Man Liu and the others lived.

Chu Xue just watched, and in no time, one carried the other out of the room, walked straight to the gate, opened the gate and left the courtyard.

Chu Xue watched them leave the courtyard before opening the door and following them out.

The two men carried the person and hurried towards the back mountain. Chu Xue followed them at a distance, wanting to see what their purpose was.

She had a vague premonition that the two people's approach to the Liu family elders might be related to Liu's father's background.

She couldn't help but feel a little expectant.
