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

Chapter 434 You must be curious why I came to find you, right?
Liu Jiandong is becoming more and more interested in Ding Surong. A while ago, Ding's father came over wearing a Zhongshan suit with four pockets and a pen in his jacket pocket. He looked like a cadre. Now, a friend of hers drove up to beat her up. If he marries her, will he be able to rise to prominence by relying on his wife's family?
Since there's no hope for adoption from the second wife's side for the time being, we might as well seize the opportunity at hand.

Once inside, Qi Shufang didn't beat around the bush with Ding Surong: "You must be wondering why I came to find you, right?"

Ding Surong, having inherited her father's talent, was an opportunist: "Sister Shufang, just tell me what you need, and I'll do my best to get it done for you."

My dad said that those things were probably taken by others, but it's still unknown whether someone stumbled upon them by chance or, like them, deliberately came to take them.

There's no point in me staying here now. If I help Qi Shufang with her affairs, then with the Qi family's influence, arranging a job for me and transferring me back to the city would be a piece of cake.

Lost in thought, Ding Surong took an enamel mug, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Qi Shufang: "Sister Shufang, have some water."

Qi Shufang did not take the water offered to her, but instead asked directly, "Isn't there a girl named Liu Chuxue in Willow Village?"

Ding Surong looked puzzled when she heard the question: "How do you know her?"

"Never mind how I met her, just tell me, do you know her, and are you familiar with her?"

Ding Surong coughed lightly: "Actually, the house I'm living in now used to belong to Liu Chuxue."

"This house belongs to her family, so where are her family members?"

"She built another house and moved out."

Seeing Qi Shufang's constantly changing expression, Ding Surong asked uncertainly, "Did she offend you?"

Upon hearing the question, Qi Shufang composed herself slightly: "Yes, I came here today to ask you to find a way to ruin her reputation. After it's done, I'll have my family find a way to transfer you back to the city."

Ding Surong's mind raced, and she deliberately said, "Ruining her reputation might be difficult, since she's not often in the village these days." "Not in the village? Didn't she graduate?"

"She did graduate, but she's a capable person. Everyone in the village is saying that she passed the exam for a job in the city."

"What? She actually found a job in the city?"

Before Ding Surong could reply, she asked, "Where does she work?"

Ding Surong looked at her and said, "It seems to be a steel rolling mill. I heard it's an office job."

She doesn't usually interact with the villagers, nor does she live with the other educated youth at the settlement. She only heard them mention it briefly while she was at work today, so she really doesn't know the details.

Qi Shufang's expression darkened further: "Have you ever had any dealings with her?"

Ding Surong nodded and said, "We're not very familiar with each other, but we did deal with each other when we were looking to rent a house. However, the house was later taken back by the Liu family, and we haven't been in contact with her about renting a house since."

"What do you mean?"

Ding Surong then recounted what she knew about the Liu family: "That's how it is. Liu Chuxue's father severed ties with the old Liu family and they basically have no contact now."

Upon hearing this, Qi Shufang smiled, but anyone could see the scheming in her eyes.

Ding Surong couldn't help but shiver, wondering: This Liu Chuxue is really unlucky. She finally managed to get from the countryside to the city, but how did she end up offending the Qi family?
