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

Chapter 448 Embarrassing
When Liu's father brought his daughter and son-in-law to the Qiu family's house, the Qiu family was having a meal in the courtyard.

Hearing the commotion, Mr. and Mrs. Qiu quickly got up to greet them: "Oh dear, father-in-law, you've really gone to a lot of trouble today, picking us up and dropping us off. Come in and have a bite to eat."

When Liu's father left, Liu's mother instructed him to have someone see him off and then hurry back: "No, it's getting late, and we need to return the mule cart we borrowed from the team as soon as possible."

After Qiu Shaofeng helped his wife off the mule cart, the Qiu family watched as Qiu Shaofeng carried down a large basket.

Aunt Qiu nudged her second son with her elbow: "Shaohu, why don't you hurry up and help him?"

Qiu Shaohu was unwilling to hear this and was about to object when he saw his mother wink at him. He immediately understood: "Shaofeng, come here, let your second brother give you a hand."

Qiu Shaofeng didn't let him succeed, and directly picked up the basket: "Mom, please take good care of Xia Qiu for me. I'll take the things back to the room first."

Mrs. Qiu glanced at the eldest son's house and understood Qiu Shaohu's ulterior motives all too well; he just wanted a share of the profits.

But now that the Qiu family has split up, if they want to show filial piety, it should be to their great-grandmother and father-in-law. As for the eldest son's family, what does it have to do with them? After all, they didn't get any good things and didn't divide them into two branches.

He raised his hand to help Xia Qiu: "Slow down."

Xia Qiu smiled and walked over: "Mom, I'm fine, you don't need to be too worried."

When Wang Lihua, the eldest sister-in-law, came over with her youngest son Qiu Baolai, she saw this scene and couldn't help but feel envious. She couldn't help but say, "Second Aunt, there's no need to be so careful. Raising them a little rougher will make them easier to give birth to."

Mrs. Qiu was surprised that her usually reliable niece-in-law would say such a thing: "That's true, but it hasn't been three months yet, so it's better to be careful."

At this moment, Liu's father also looked up and glanced at Wang Lihua, and said protectively, "My daughter is lucky. She not only found a considerate man, but also a good mother-in-law. This is something that others can only envy."

One sentence made Wang Lihua very embarrassed.

Even a rough-around-the-edges man could understand it, let alone the neighbors who had gathered to watch the spectacle. Wang Lihua never imagined that her carefully cultivated reputation would be ruined in an instant because of the envy and jealousy that had grown in her heart.

Outside, people whispered among themselves, "The eldest daughter-in-law of the Qiu family was a troublemaker, Zhang Shanmei, but we didn't realize that this eldest daughter-in-law, Wang Lihua, is just as unruly."

"It seems that his previous composure was all an act. To put it bluntly, he just can't stand seeing others do well."

“Zhang Shanmei, who loves to cause trouble, couldn’t come out of her postpartum confinement period. With no one to fight on the front lines, her true colors naturally came out.”

"Everyone makes a mistake sometimes. It's not a big deal. We're all neighbors, we see each other all the time. It's not worth making such a big deal out of it."

The gossip of these people greatly displeased Aunt Qiu, who glared at her eldest daughter-in-law and said, "Disgraceful."

Since he wouldn't gain anything anyway, he finished cursing and went back to his own table to eat.

Grandma Qiu came out of the house: "In-law, please come in and have some water before you leave."

Mr. Liu waved his hand: "No, it will get dark soon, and my wife at home will worry. I'll be going now."

Mr. Qiu stepped forward to help turn the car around: "My dear in-law, please drive carefully."

Father Liu nodded, waved goodbye to the others, and then sat on the carriage shaft: "I'm leaving, let's go back."

With a flick of the whip, he hurried home.

Xia Qiu stood at the gate: "Dad, slow down."

Mr. Liu waved his hand at his daughter: "I know, go back now."
