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

Chapter 347 Mother Liu looked proud
The reason Liu Quanwen was unharmed was because his son's father-in-law pulled a lot of strings to protect him. After all, he had been an accountant for so many years, it was impossible for him to be completely unscathed. In this day and age, even a small matter can be magnified a thousand times over, let alone the fact that his case involved money and the interests of the village collective.

She went to her son and asked him to come up with a solution.

His son had no choice but to go to his father-in-law. His father-in-law was also shrewd and did not agree immediately. He said he would first go and sound out someone's opinion.

This investigation gave him a real fright.

Liu Quanwen didn't embezzle much money from the village, since there wasn't much money in the public accounts to begin with, so even if he wanted to, there wouldn't be any money for him to embezzle.

He coveted grain. Every autumn after the grain was distributed, he would try to bring some home, and that grain would eventually end up in his own household.

If people were to investigate further, he would also be implicated. He had no choice but to find someone to suppress the matter and downplay it, so that Liu Quanwen would convert the grain into money and compensate the village double.

It can be said that this time, not only did they lose their jobs and face, but they also lost the entire Liu family fortune.

However, the news hadn't spread throughout the village yet, and Peng Ailan no longer dared to be as arrogant as before, only wanting to keep a low profile.

Liu Shuqin, having been pulled along, had clearly regained her senses, but she still couldn't hold back her words, saying, "So what if you graduated from high school? You'll still end up like us, having to work in the fields to earn work points."

Chu Xue looked at her provocatively: "It'll only be a matter of a few days. Next month, Comrade Kong Yuexue and I will be going to the county for training. How about that? You can't be envious of that."

These words infuriated Liu Shuqin, who jumped up and down in anger: "Don't be too happy yet. No one can say for sure until the very end."

Chu Xue gave her a big smile: "Then we'll wait and see."

It was easy to see Liu Shuqin's unwillingness from her face, and she knew that this person might make a foolish move. However, Chu Xue was not worried at all. In the face of absolute force, all schemes are just paper tigers.

Liu's mother was also afraid that they would make a fuss in the field, so she said, "Xue, hurry up, if you work a little longer, go back and collect the dried vegetables drying on the roof." Chu Xue smiled and nodded, "Okay."

The dried vegetables must be brought in before sunset, otherwise they will become damp again.

She works really fast; she was up ahead in no time.

Some people, not believing in such things, went to Chuxue's place and said, "I have to say, Chuxue is really good at working. She can hoe the ground just as well as the old hands."

Hearing what was said behind her, Chu Xue felt a little smug. It was good to have strength. As long as you mastered the key points of hoeing, working in the fields wasn't as scary as they made it out to be.

Upon arriving at the field, she immediately called over the scorekeeper.

The person in charge of keeping score in the village was a member of the Liu family, but not from their branch. When she called her over to keep score, she was a little skeptical, since the others had only finished a little over half of their work: "Little Chuxue, have you finished hoeing? Don't try to fool me."

Chu Xue gestured for him to proceed: "Uncle Yongcheng, please feel free to inspect."

Liu Yongcheng walked around the rows that Chu Xue had just hoeed: "Hey, I really underestimated you, girl. You did a great job. Alright, I'll make a note of it."

Chu Xue greeted Liu's mother, "Mom, I'm going back to collect the dried vegetables."

Mother Liu looked proud. Her second son was truly outstanding, good at everything he did. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't take the college entrance exam now, there would definitely be a college student in the family. Even when he was working in the fields, he was better than others: "Okay, let's go back."
