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

Chapter 226 You're a dog, biting anyone you can get your hands on.
Peng Ailan hated hearing this the most. Although it wasn't explicitly stated that her son was marrying into the family, it was practically the same as marrying into the family. After all, her daughter-in-law's family was powerful, and if they wanted to benefit from their influence, they had to compromise.

Not to mention that her own son was not having a good time in his wife's family. Not only did he have to be subservient, but his sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law also bullied him a lot.

It could be said that no matter how glamorous her son appeared on the surface, he was a pathetic figure behind the scenes. The thought of his life made her extremely uncomfortable, and now that people were talking about him, it was like the death of her: "How dare you talk about my son? I'll fight you to the death!"

Seeing that she was about to go crazy, Chu Xue grabbed her and dragged her to the accountant Liu Quanwen, then forcefully threw her onto him: "I have no intention of meddling in your family's mess, and you should also control your wife. If you dare to interfere in my family's affairs again, don't blame me for rubbing salt into your hearts."

Peng Ailan wanted to retaliate, but her husband held her back tightly: "Have you made enough of a scene?"

Peng Ailan was furious at Chu Xue's words and retorted, "What am I making a fuss about? I was just thinking about Uncle and Aunt Wu. What did I do wrong? Now that we can see that the eldest and third brothers can't come up with the money, why can't we ask the second brother's family? Even if we're not related, we're still connected by blood."

Chu Xue stared at Liu Quanwen with a half-smile: "Look how reasonable you are. You stand on the moral high ground and try to tell my family what to do. Where do you put the Party Secretary and the Village Chief? Don't forget the circumstances under which the severance agreement was signed. You're trying to establish your authority by stepping on our family's dignity and resentment. Is your next step to campaign for your husband's votes and power?"

Liu Quanwen frowned and glanced at Chu Xue: This brat was already quite formidable, and lately she's become even more sharp-tongued, leaving you speechless with her words.

My silly wife is always looking for trouble. Last time I was almost internally injured by her, why does she always forget what she's been taught and always want to provoke me?

This time it's even worse. They've laid bare his scheming, putting him in a very difficult position. If he doesn't acknowledge it, how can he run for election in a few months? But if he does acknowledge it, the village secretary and the village head's families will probably make things difficult for him.

Liu Quanwen glared at his wife and said, "Xue girl, don't listen to your aunt's nonsense. Once the marriage contract is signed, there's no problem anymore. Your family shouldn't be involved in your fifth uncle and aunt's affairs."

Seeing that Chu Xue had silenced the accountant couple with her direct rebuke, the other onlookers naturally didn't want to be the next ones to do so, so no one dared to drag Chu Xue's family into the mess anymore.

Liu Quanwen originally wanted to end things quickly and leave this troublesome place with his wife, but his words just now angered the people from the eldest and third branches of the family in the courtyard. Ge Xiulan directly cursed, "In the past, you were just an accountant. What's so great about you? You still want to interfere in our family's affairs. Look at how capable you are."

Peng Ailan was furious: "Ge Xiulan, are you a dog? You bite anyone you can get your hands on! I was just speaking up for you, and you really don't know what's good for you."

With one misfortune after another befalling her family, Ge Xiulan was in no good mood: "We're all from the same village, everyone knows each other. Aren't you afraid of making a fool of yourself by saying such things? Besides, didn't you hear what your husband just said? The way you two are acting is something even opera singers would be ashamed of."

Upon hearing Ge Xiulan call them actors, Peng Ailan angrily pointed at her and said, "Ge Xiulan, who are you calling actors?"
