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

Chapter 516 It's Impossible to Risk Your Future to Pay for Someone Else's Mistakes

The father-in-law and son-in-law chatted and ate together, getting along very well.

Mr. Liu felt that he was not very capable, and that his daughter was lucky to have found such a capable man. However, he had no intention of currying favor with the powerful. He only wanted to exchange sincerity for sincerity and hope that the man in front of him would treat his second son well in the future.

At this moment, Chunxiao came over and said with a gloating look, "Second sister, you don't know, ever since that embarrassing thing happened last time, there has been no peace at the old house. That Ding Zhiqing didn't want to get a marriage certificate with Dongzi at first, but Aunt was afraid that she would grow wings and fly away in the future, so she insisted on disagreeing."

Ding, the educated youth, kept delaying for several days, but finally couldn't put it off any longer and reluctantly went to the commune to get their marriage certificate. From that day on, the old house was constantly filled with arguments—either between the first and third wives, or the first wife causing trouble herself. It was always quite noisy, and the old house became the commune members' regular dining area.

After saying that, he burst into laughter.

Liu's father glared at her, and Chunxiao quickly calmed down.

However, seeing that Liu's father turned to talk to his future second brother-in-law, she whispered, "That Liu Shuqin who always causes you trouble is also having a hard time. She refuses to marry Cheng Laizi no matter what, but her father agrees. Cheng Laizi's mother is also afraid that the marriage will fall through again. If she didn't have to go back to raise money, she probably would have sent Cheng Laizi to Liu Shuqin's house that day."

Fu Yancheng appeared to be chatting with his father-in-law, but he was actually listening to the conversation between the two sisters.

Chu Xue picked up a piece of beef and put it in her bowl: "Mom, is there any more of the beef that Yan Cheng brought last time?"

With a smile, Liu's mother pushed the plate of stewed beef with tomatoes toward her: "Last time Yancheng brought over some meat, you left without even getting a bite. So I left you a piece, salted it, and had your father hang it in the well."

At this moment, Chunxiao interjected, "Mom is really biased. We only ate two meals, and each time she only cut such a small piece of meat. Three pieces of meat were gone for each of us. Apart from the piece she left today, the rest was all made into mushroom and beef sauce. You and your future second brother-in-law each had a cup, and she also prepared a cup for my eldest sister. The three of us ate a meal with the remaining half bowl of meat dipped in the mixed flour steamed buns."

I told Mom I'd deliver it to my older sister on Sunday, when I had the day off, but she wouldn't let me. She insisted the sauce wouldn't spoil in the well and that Dad could deliver it whenever he had time. She's so worried about me, afraid I'll sneak a bite on the way.

As she spoke, the way she rolled her eyes made Chu Xue want to laugh. Liu's mother reached out and poked her little girl's forehead: "It's not that I don't dare rely on you, with your greedy nature, you might actually do something like stealing food halfway through the journey."

Chunxiao covered her forehead, which had been poked so hard: "You really don't trust me?"

Liu's mother was too lazy to argue with her anymore: "Alright, hurry up and eat."

After finishing his meal, Fu Yancheng didn't forget the important matter: "Chu Xue, I'm going to make a phone call."

Upon hearing his words, Liu's father said, "Yes, yes, yes, you should tell your family if you're not going back."

Seeing that his father-in-law had misunderstood, Fu Yancheng explained, "It wasn't a fight with family, it was..."

He looked at the first snow as he spoke.

Chu Xue then recounted how her brother-in-law, aunt, and sister had come to visit: "It's fine to ask, but if her brother-in-law really breaks the law, Yan Cheng can't help. Even if they are relatives, let alone distant ones, they would never risk their future to pay for someone else's mistakes."

Although I didn't quite understand what Chuxue meant by 'pay the bill,' I did understand what she meant.

Father Liu was the first to express his opinion: "That's right, I agree."

Liu's mother naturally sided with her daughter.
