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

Chapter 421 I'm wondering who came up with this idea.
Hearing her son's words, Su Hongjuan chuckled and said, "How old are you? Why are you asking so many questions? You wouldn't understand even if I told you. And if you won't tell me, who else can you tell?"

Liu Lidong turned his head to the side: "I'll go tell my eldest and second eldest sisters."

After saying that, he actually ran out.

Su Hongjuan wanted to call for help, but the person had already run out. She laughed and scolded, "You brat, you've grown quite temperamental."

A short while later, Liu Shanling, who had gone out to chat under the tree, returned: "Where's my son?"

It was almost bedtime, but my son wasn't in the room, so I couldn't help but ask.

Su Hongjuan inserted the last needle: "She threw a tantrum at me and ran to her daughters' room."

Liu Shanling walked to the head of the kang (a heated brick bed) and was about to lay out the mattress when he asked, "What did you do to upset him?"

Su Hongjuan took the scissors, cut the thread, pulled down the shoe, took the newspaper she had prepared earlier, crumpled it into a ball and stuffed it into the shoe, got up and put the shoe away, went to the door and looked outside, then whispered, "He went to the old lady's chicken coop to steal eggs, I said a few words to him, and that's why he's unhappy."

Upon hearing this, Liu Shanling didn't know how to speak up for his son. He coughed lightly and said, "It's something we should do. We can't let him get away with this."

He had barely finished speaking when his wife leaned close to him and said, "Your parents wanted Dongzi to be adopted by the second wife, but they refused."

Liu Shanling stopped spreading out the mattress: "Who told you this?"

Su Hongjuan gestured towards her daughter's room with her lip: "Your son overheard the old couple talking as they passed by."

Lost in thought, Liu Shanling knelt on the kang (a heated brick bed) with one leg on top and one hand still clutching the mattress, remaining motionless for a long time.

Su Hongjuan nudged him: "What are you thinking about?" Liu Shanling then snapped out of his reverie: "I was wondering who came up with this idea?"

Su Hongjuan hadn't thought about it in detail before, but after hearing her husband's words, she couldn't help but think about it more.

Before I could figure it out, I heard someone next to me say, "Forget it, who cares whose idea it is? It has nothing to do with us anyway, we're not getting involved."

Now that my second brother is living a very comfortable life, he definitely doesn't want to get involved with the old family home anymore, so his refusal is perfectly normal.

Su Hongjuan then said, "Can't you see? Chuxue is now in charge of the second branch of the family."

After a pause, he continued, "Not to mention that the girl has not only found a job in the city, but she also works in an office. Her boyfriend is an officer in the army. By the way, I also heard that her parents-in-law both have jobs in the city. The second wife's good days are yet to come. Now they want to push Dongzi over there. How could they even think of that? Who do they think is stupid?"

Thinking that no matter how well others do in the future, they won't be able to benefit from it, Liu Shanling couldn't help but sigh: "They didn't have any foresight, it's too late to say anything now."

Su Hongjuan suddenly thought of something: "The villagers are saying that Chu Xue was replaced by a worker, in other words, she bought the job. But do you believe that?"

Liu Shanling pondered for a moment: "What do you mean?"

Su Hongjuan moved closer to him: "This job might have been found for her by her boyfriend. As for why she told the villagers it was a job exchange, she probably did it to avoid the villagers coming to borrow money and also to keep an eye on the old house."

Liu Shanling thought about it and realized it wasn't impossible: "It's not impossible, but it's not necessarily true that Chu Xue is lying. If jobs were easy to find in the city, why would people go to the countryside? Take Ding, the educated youth living in our compound, for example. Her father is an official, but she still couldn't get a job and had to go to the countryside."

Hearing this, Su Hongjuan was silent for a while before saying, "That's true. Sigh, whatever her situation is, it has nothing to do with us anyway."
