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

Chapter 461 Why Should I Listen to You?
Chu Xue walked into the office: "Secretary, Village Chief, I'm here."

She wouldn't be so obviously trying to hide something as obvious as asking, "Do you need something from me?"

It simply said, "I'm here."

After saying that, he glanced contemptuously at Liu Jiandong and Ding Surong, thinking: Even if you see me enter the forest, what can you do to me?
That look sent a shiver down Ding Surong's spine as she secretly looked up at her. It felt as if Liu Chuxue had seen through their actions, making Ding Surong feel guilty.

He quickly lowered his head, his mind a jumble of thoughts: What should he do?
The Party Secretary looked at Chu Xue: "Chu Xue, did you go to the woods to the south today?"

Chu Xue said slowly, "I've never been there, but when it got dark, Cunyi came to my house and asked if I wanted to go collect cicada shells, and I agreed."

As you all know, I'm getting engaged today, and there are a lot of things to do at home. I arranged the betrothal gifts that were sent before leaving the house.

Because I'm a little afraid of the dark, I thought I'd go check if Cunyi had left yet, and I wanted to go with him. But when I got there, I found out he hadn't gone to collect cicada shells; instead, he'd gone with Uncle Liangzi to help his grandfather dig a cellar. I chatted with the aunties who were enjoying the cool air for a bit, and then went back.

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Jiandong mumbled, "You're talking nonsense. You clearly went to the woods to the south. Ding Surong and I both saw you."

Chu Xue said with a disdainful look, "You think you can just say you saw it?"

At this moment, Ding Surong, who had been keeping her head down pretending to be a quail, also spoke up: "I saw it too."

Chu Xue retorted sarcastically, "You two are in cahoots, so naturally you're on the same page. Who would believe what you say?"

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone in the room stared at her shoes.

Chu Xue took a step back: "What are you doing?"

Ding Surong thought she was feeling guilty: "Do you dare to lift your foot so everyone can see?"

"Why should I listen to you?"

"If you don't dare let us see it, then you're guilty."

"Your logic is really strange." The Party Secretary didn't want to waste any more time here: "Chuxue, give Third Grandfather some face."

Chu Xue didn't answer directly, but looked at Liu Jiandong and Ding Surong: "If there's no red soil on the soles of my shoes, you have to apologize to me in front of the whole village and compensate me with fifty yuan for emotional distress. If you don't agree, then this is off the table."

"Liu Chuxue, why don't you go and rob it?" Liu Jiandong shouted first.

Chu Xue rolled her eyes at him, thinking: I'm just robbing him right now.

He turned to the Party Secretary and said, "Secretary, it's not that I don't respect you, but there's always a price to pay for wrongdoing. They can't have it all."

Ding Surong said with certainty, "Liu Chuxue, don't try to stall for time. Once your shoes are stained with red clay, the marks won't disappear even if you wait for several days."

Chu Xue looked at her with a half-smile: "Since you're so sure I've been there, why don't you grant my request?"

Ding Surong didn't want to delay any longer: "Fine, I'll grant your request. Take off your shoes now."

He even tried to get his hands on it.

However, Chu Xue was not about to let her succeed: "If you want to see it, fine, but first deposit the money with the village officials so you won't try to renege later. After all, I'm leaving the village to go back to work at the factory tomorrow."

Ding Surong was furious with Chu Xue. She stood up abruptly, her aura suggesting she was about to throw money at someone.

But when he reached in, he found nothing.

Unconvinced, he patted the other pocket: "Huh, my money?"

After shouting, he turned to the Party Secretary and said, "My money is gone; it must have been left in the woods."

He then tried to rush out.
