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

Chapter 608 How can you cross the river and then dismantle the bridge?

Just as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law finished setting the table, they heard Zhang Shanmei from the eldest son's side exclaim, "Where did this bicycle come from?"

The child ignored everything and ran to the bicycle: "A brand new bicycle, whose is it?"

Grandma Qiu disliked this great-granddaughter-in-law the most: "That was ridden by Xia Qiu. You should go and look after your child. Stop making such a fuss all day."

Upon hearing that it was Chuxue, she seemed to gain confidence from who-knows-where and ran to Xiaqiu's door: "My dear sister-in-law, could I borrow your bicycle for a bit? I need to go back to my parents' house."

Upon hearing this, not only did Chu Xue frown, but the Qiu family members in the courtyard all had strange expressions.

Aunt Qiu was the first to get angry: "It's a brand new bicycle, how dare you say such things? If it gets scratched or damaged, how are you going to pay for it? You better behave yourself."

Grandma Qiu also spoke up: "Shaohu, keep your wife in check, she's a disgrace."

Qiu Shaohu was called out by name in public, and his expression was very unpleasant: "Hurry up and go back to your room to tidy up the child."

His shout startled Qiu Xiaoya inside the house, and she immediately burst into tears.

No matter what Zhang Shanmei wanted to say, she had no choice but to go inside to take care of the child. However, as soon as she entered, she scolded, "Crying, crying, all you do is cry all day long."

Grandma Qiu saw Xia Qiu and Chu Xue coming out of the house and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense. She can't even ride a bike. All she does is spout nonsense."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Shanmei stuck her head out and retorted, "I can push it too."

Chu Xue didn't want to discuss this topic with her anymore: "Second Sister-in-law Qiu, I'm sorry, I have to rush back to the village to help my parents earn work points in the fields, so I really can't borrow a car."

After saying that, he greeted everyone else in the Qiu family one by one, not giving Zhang Shanmei a chance to speak: "Sister, take care of yourself, I'm leaving now." Qiu's mother and Qiu Shaofeng quickly stepped forward and said in unison, "Aren't you going to stay a while?"

"I told my family before I left that I would come and visit my sister and then go back to help them with their work. I can't delay any longer."

Pushing his bicycle out of the Qiu family's courtyard, he said, "No need to see me off. You guys go ahead and eat. I'm leaving."

After saying that, he got into the car and drove off with great effort, not wanting to delay the other person's breakfast.

Watching Chu Xue leave, Qiu Shaohu said with envy, "Shaofeng, your luck is unparalleled. I never expected your sister-in-law's family to turn their lives around so quickly, and you guys have benefited from it too."

Upon hearing his son's words, Uncle Qiu first scolded him, "Even eating can't shut you up."

After scolding his son, he turned to his nephew and said, "Shaofeng, don't bother with that irresponsible person."

Qiu Shaofeng glanced at his eldest uncle, then turned his gaze to his second cousin: "What my second cousin said is true. I'm really lucky. Ever since Xia Qiu got pregnant, my father-in-law's family has really given us a lot of subsidies. I'll have to repay this kindness tenfold in the future."

Grandma Qiu glanced at her grandson, who was so determined to get away with something, and a smile crept onto her lips. But what she said was indeed true: "That's right. You must keep it in mind and never be an ungrateful person."

These words were not only spoken to Qiu Shaofeng, his grandson, but also to warn the others: "Alright, you've been working hard all morning. Hurry up and eat, we'll be leaving soon."

Aunt Qiu felt a little embarrassed when she heard this, but she couldn't blame anyone else, since her son and daughter-in-law were so unreliable.

Besides, Chuxue just helped her sister's family, so how could she turn her back on them after they've served their purpose?
