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

Chapter 633 This is what men are like; they're just that realistic.
Everyone in the hospital knows that Director Hu cherishes his wife, who is more than ten years younger than him, so no one expected him to say such cold-blooded and heartless things today.

Chu Xue glanced at Director Hu: Look, that's men for you, they're so realistic.

While it's true that having such a troublesome mother-in-law is annoying, the person who makes such a choice under these circumstances is probably no better off.

The woman called Malanhua swayed: "Zheyuan, what did you say? You want me to abort the child? This is the child you've been longing for for so long, and you're heartlessly making me abort it? Are you even human?"

Chu Xue didn't want to watch this drama unfold: "Please, leaders, resolve our issues first. We don't have time to waste watching other people's domestic affairs."

Upon hearing this, Director Hu's face turned red and then pale. He realized he had been incredibly foolish to make such a bold statement in public, which had given others ammunition against him.
Hearing Chuxue's words helped him out of the predicament.

He looked at the dean and Director Du of the cafeteria. The three of them went to the side and whispered a few words before coming back.

Director Hu bowed deeply to Chu Xue and the woman whose chicken soup had been spilled by the accident: "Gentlemen, I am truly sorry for what happened today. I apologize on behalf of my mother-in-law. I know you will ask why the person involved did not come to apologize. I would say that an insincere apology is better left unappreciated. What do you say?"

Seeing that neither of them spoke, he continued, "I know that what happened today has affected your mood. I'll compensate you each with ten yuan on her behalf. I hope you can calm down."

She glanced at the spilled chicken soup on the ground and said, "As for the chicken soup she spilled, I'll give you an extra ten yuan as compensation. Is that alright?"

Chu Xue and the woman exchanged a glance. Chu Xue didn't want to be a fool here anymore, and she knew that the gluttonous old lady was bound to have a bad end.

Just as the woman beside her was about to nod in agreement, Chu Xue spoke up: "You seem to have forgotten one thing that hasn't been compensated."

Upon hearing this, Director Hu assumed Chu Xue was trying to extort money and frowned. Chu Xue, however, was not afraid of him. She pointed to the spilled chicken soup on the ground and said, "Not to mention the broken clay pot, and this woman's dirty shoes and pants, she must have burned her instep. We can't just let her suffer these things for nothing, can we?"

Director Hu then noticed that part of the woman's instep was wet, and he knew without a doubt that it was from the casserole that had fallen to the ground and splashed onto her feet: "I'm sorry, I really didn't notice it just now."

Chu Xue didn't say anything, but in her heart she sneered: "You didn't see it? Nobody would believe you. You just don't want to pay. Do you really think people are stupid?"
Director Hu didn't have enough money in his pocket, so he looked at Dean Duan somewhat embarrassedly: "Dean, could you lend me ten yuan first?"

Dean Duan was very angry about what happened today, so he naturally didn't give Director Hu a friendly look. However, he wouldn't refuse him this small favor, so he took out ten yuan from his pocket and handed it over.

The woman who had received compensation never expected that Chu Xue's intervention would result in her receiving an additional ten yuan in compensation.

As soon as the two left, the woman said, "Thank you for earlier. My name is Tang Xinrui. What's your name?"

Chu Xue smiled slightly at her and said, "My name is Liu Chu Xue."

Because Tang Xinrui's chicken soup was gone, she had to prepare the ingredients again. Since she wasn't going the same way as Chu Xue, the two chatted for a few minutes and then parted ways.

Chu Xue went to the cafeteria window to get some staple food before heading to the inpatient department. As soon as she got to the second floor, she saw Guo Zhanrong coming out of the water room.

Guo Zhanrong saw that Chu Xue's hands were both covered in snow: "Comrade Liu, let me do it."
