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

Chapter 405 Guessing and Calculation
Liujiacun

The hottest topic in the village right now is that the second daughter of the Liang family in Liushan has gone to the city and is now receiving government-supplied food. It's true that her education was worthwhile.

Although it's a job exchange program, you still need a high school education to get in.

Now, life is not easy for those children in the village who are still in school but are naughty all day long. Not only are they nagged by their families all day long, but those who dare to talk back are often beaten: "Look at your Uncle Shanliang's sister Chuxue. She is good at studying and has gone to the city to work as a worker."

"Can't you be a little more respectable, kid? We're both in school, don't end up worse off than some girl."

"You can't just drift through life anymore. You have to study hard so you can have a chance to become a worker in the city, understand?"

"See? What did I tell you? You still have to study hard. Don't think you can just coast through graduation. If you don't get high scores when factories recruit workers, it'll all be for nothing. Did you hear me?"

Families in the village with children in school were all using a combination of persuasion and cajoling, with only one goal: to get their stubborn children to study hard so they could go to the city and receive government-supplied food in the future.

At the Liu family's old house: "Old man, it's been so long, and those people haven't shown up again. I guess they won't be coming back."

Old Liu puffed on his pipe: "Could it be that I'm wrong, and those people aren't here for the second son? But..."

Suddenly, Old Lady Liu thought of something: "Do you think it could be that woman's enemy?"

Old Man Liu frowned and thought for a long time, but still couldn't come up with a solution: "It's not impossible."

“I went out just now, and everyone in the village is saying that the second son’s wife, Chu Xue, went to work in the city. If that’s true, then the second son’s family’s life is going to take off.”

"Do you have any idea?"

Granny Liu stood up, looked at the door, then turned around and sat back down in her original spot: "It's doubtful that Dongzi's leg will fully recover. I'm thinking it would be better to have him adopted by the second son." "Are you crazy?"

"Don't be angry, let me finish what I have to say."

Old Man Liu stopped smoking and glared at Granny Liu, angrily saying, "Now that the family has been divided, it's no wonder the eldest son's family can't let you make decisions. Don't go looking for trouble. Besides, you know what's going on here. How can the descendants of my Liu family be buried under someone else's feet in the future? Stop this."

He had already planned that in a few years he would tell his eldest and third sons that his second son was not his biological son, and that he would never allow his second son to be buried in the Liu family ancestral graveyard.

Granny Liu was angered by his words: "I'm not stupid. How could I let my grandson actually become someone else's son? Let me finish speaking before you draw your conclusion, okay?"

Old Liu tapped his pipe on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed): "Alright, alright, tell me, tell me, let's see what you can come up with."

Granny Liu went to the door again, glanced outside, and then sat back down. "Here's what I'm thinking: now that the second son's family has a new house, even though the villagers say that Chu Xue's job was obtained through a job swap and must have cost a lot of money, I guess the second son and his family still have some money left over."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"What I mean is to officially give Dongzi to the second son for adoption. When he gets married and has children, the second son can take care of it. Once Dongzi has all of the second son's things, we can find an opportunity to break up."

Upon hearing this, Old Man Liu actually began to ponder.

After a long pause, he said, "Your method is actually feasible."

“If it weren’t for the fact that the eldest son’s family is still burdened with so much debt, I would never have come up with this idea. But Dongzi is getting older every year, and given the eldest son’s family’s current situation, it will be difficult for Dongzi to get married.”
