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

Chapter 263 How did things get out of hand?
Chu Xue explained, "Teacher Xu wanted to assess my abilities, so she asked the teachers of each subject for the test papers. I spent the whole morning doing the test papers in her office."

Xue Meijuan asked excitedly, "So, have the results come out yet?"

Chu Xue didn't want to be too high-profile: "Teacher Xu put it away, and I'll give it to the teachers of each subject to help me with the grading later."

Xue Meijuan, still unwilling to give up, asked, "How do you feel yourself?"

Chu Xue scratched her brow: "It should be alright, anyway, I've done everything I could."

After a few more rounds of back and forth, Xue Meijuan took the initiative to change the subject: "By the way, graduation exams are in a few days, do you have any plans?"

Chu Xue shook her head: "No, but I heard that the village primary school needs teachers. I don't know if I can be selected."

Xue Meijuan whispered in Chu Xue's ear, "My aunt came back a few days ago and said that once I get my high school diploma, she will help me find a job at the city textile factory. If I have the chance then, I will definitely not forget you."

Seeing her earnest little expression, Chu Xue knew she wasn't showing off on purpose: "Then thank you very much."

They are sincere, so I should naturally accept their kindness.

After all, jobs are really hard to find these days. Even now, there are still educated youth sent to the countryside. Jobs in the city are extremely limited, so finding a decent job is not easy. However, she wasn't too worried about it.

After a while, my own space will produce something. If the village school isn't good enough, I can just pay money to buy more opportunities.

While she was lost in thought, she heard Xue Meijuan say, "By the way, the Ge family had another big fight a few days ago."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xue became interested: "What's going on?"

Xue Meijuan said with a gossipy look, "I heard that Ge Baocheng was beaten in the detention center, and it was quite serious. Her family is taking her out for medical treatment."

Chu Xue asked, puzzled, "Then why did this commotion start?"

Xue Meijuan pursed her lips and said, "Grandma Ge naturally dotes on her grandson. As soon as she heard the news, she was going to have her son and daughter-in-law pick him up, but her eldest granddaughter-in-law stopped her. She refused to let them pick him up, saying that there were doctors in the detention center and there was no need to bring him back. The eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Ge family was afraid of spending money to bring him back. After all, she had boasted a lot before, saying that the family would build three rooms for the couple separately."

"What's the end?"

"In the end, it was Aunt Ge who lost her temper, saying that she couldn't tell what was important and that the family's money was only obtained because of her youngest son, so naturally he should be prioritized first."

Because the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ge family was so angry that she abandoned her child and went back to her parents' home, and hasn't returned yet.

Hearing this, Chu Xue couldn't help but sigh: This Ge Baocheng is really a tiger. Even after being locked up in that place, he's still like a fool.

The two parted ways at the fork in the road, each heading towards their own village.

City
The Fu family heard another rumor: "Mom, I heard something today."

Mrs. Fu was preparing to cook: "What is it?"

Zhang Yurong glanced at her sister-in-law who was picking vegetables: "I heard that the fourth brother's girlfriend has three daughters and no sons."

Sister-in-law Fu said with a sneer, "Third sister-in-law really went to great lengths to get her cousin to marry the fourth brother, even finding out this information."

Madam Fu frowned: "Where did you hear this news from?"

Zhang Yurong looked embarrassed: "I only found out because people in the family compound were talking about it."

Fu's eldest sister-in-law, Guo Wenjing, said with a half-smile, "Sister-in-law, none of us have ever met that girl. Mom only found out about her from the fourth brother's mention. How did the people in the compound know about that girl's family? Isn't this someone deliberately causing trouble?"
