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

Chapter 399 Worried about running fast
Chu Xue didn't quite understand what she meant. She glanced around the room and suddenly realized something. She said to Ji Kunlan, who had just entered, "Kunlan, I'll go find some Misi later. Let's put a curtain in the middle so it'll be easier to change clothes that way."

Ji Kunlan nodded and said, "Okay, you prepare the things, and we can split the cost in half."

The first snowfall didn't refuse either.

After entering, Ji Kunlan went straight to the window and looked down at the building: "She said she was going home for a meal and would be back, but why hasn't she arrived yet?"

Hearing her words and looking at the night outside, Chu Xue couldn't help but worry: "Should we go out and meet her?"

Ji Kunlan glanced at her watch again: "Okay, let's wait for her at the bus stop in front of the factory gate."

Chu Xue quickly got up, put on her coat, and left the dormitory with Ji Kunlan.

Ji Kunlan's expression wasn't very pleasant. Chu Xue originally wanted to ask, but then she thought that they had only just met, and if she asked the wrong question, it would be even worse, so she swallowed her words.

Unexpectedly, Ji Kunlan took the initiative to speak up: "Rui Rui's mother passed away from illness the winter before last. Her father is a gentle person. Now, the two sisters-in-law are in charge of the family. Before, Rui Rui was still young, and she was in mourning, so the sisters-in-law did not dare to treat her too badly."

Now that Rui Rui is getting older, both of her sisters-in-law have their eyes on her. Rui Rui even told me before that both of her sisters-in-law wanted to use her marriage to pave the way for their own families, but she saw through their scheme and refused.

At this point, Chu Xue understood perfectly well; every family has its own troubles.

The two chatted as they left the factory gate and then walked toward the nearest bus stop.

Seeing that Chu Xue hadn't spoken, Ji Kunlan continued, "I'm afraid those two sisters-in-law will use tricks to force her to submit."

Are there any public telephones near her house?

Ji Kunlan shook her head and said, "I've never heard her say that."

Is her home far from here?

Ji Kunlan nodded: "It takes more than an hour to get here by car, otherwise she wouldn't have chosen to stay in the dormitory. She has her own room at home." "Then there's nothing else we can do but wait here and see."

The two didn't walk towards the platform, but stopped not far away from it, so they could see Duan Ruirui as soon as she got off the train.

An hour passed before Ji Kunlan looked at her watch again: "It's ten o'clock. We'll have to head back in five more minutes."

As they were talking, a bus pulled up to the side of the road, but the two of them didn't see the person they were waiting for.

Ji Kunlan asked with a worried look, "Chuxue, do you think something really happened?"

There was no way to respond to that. Ji Kunlan had just said that she hadn't been to Duan Ruirui's house either. Even if they wanted to go to her house, they couldn't, let alone report her to the police based on their so-called speculation. What if she was innocent? That would only cause them trouble.

Time ticked by, and just as the two were about to leave in disappointment, a bus stopped, and Duan Ruirui got off.

She looked up and saw Ji Kunlan and Chu Xue: "What are you two doing here?"

Ji Kunlan stepped forward: "Are you alright? Why are you so late coming back?"

As he spoke, he also looked the person up and down.

Seeing that she was alright, I was finally relieved.

Seeing her actions, Duan Ruirui instantly understood what was going on, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't moved.

Chu Xue then spoke up to remind them, "It's getting late, if you dawdle any longer you won't be able to get into the dorm."

The three exchanged a glance, and without saying anything else, shouted in unison, "Run!"
