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

Chapter 7 Did We Come to the Wrong Place?
Kong Yizhang knew that this girl had often gone to the mountains since she was a child, and he understood that what she said made sense, after all, Fu Yancheng's whereabouts could not be discovered: "Comrade Liu, please be careful of your own safety, and thank you."

Reaching into my pocket, I belatedly realized that I had lent money to a colleague earlier that morning, and only had a few coins left in my pocket.

A hint of unease flashed across his face, but he still stuffed a few coins into Liu Chuxue's hand: "I'm sorry, this is all I have in my pocket. Please call me later to let me know you're safe, so I can have peace of mind."

The girl not only helped them pass on a message, but also led them into the mountains. Now that he's leaving her here alone, he feels really bad. But Fu Yancheng's injury can't be delayed any longer, so he has no choice but to agree.

After watching them leave, Liu Chuxue picked some brambles from a secluded spot a little distance from the cave and went inside.

Quickly erase all traces in the cave, after all, those two, the aunt and niece, are no good people.

As she was about to leave, she caught a glimpse of light in a corner. She didn't think much of it at first, but just as she turned around, the corner flashed again.

Out of curiosity, I mustered up my courage and went to investigate, but the cave was too dark, and after a thorough search, I found nothing unusual.

Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, her middle finger was accidentally scratched by the sharp edge of the cave wall, and a few drops of blood quickly seeped into the ground as she pulled her hand away.

She hissed as she withdrew her hand, cursing inwardly: Damn bad luck.

After stopping the bleeding with pressure, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket, bandaged the wound, glanced at the corner he had been in, grabbed the brambles he had been holding, swished them a few times, and then left the cave.

Unbeknownst to her, not long after she left the cave, two people found their way here: "Are you sure this is the place?"

"Based on the information that person gave, this should be the place."

The two searched the cave thoroughly, but found nothing: "Did we look in the wrong place?"

"Impossible. This is the only cave around here that matches all the characteristics she described; there's no mistake." "Then what should we do next?"

"What can we do? We've done our best. It's not our fault that we didn't find it."

"But what if that person doesn't pay us the rest of the money? Wouldn't we have worked for nothing?"

When Liu Chuxue arrived at her sister's in-laws' house, it was right at mealtime, which made Qiu's second granddaughter-in-law, who was heavily pregnant, very unhappy: "Who comes to visit relatives right at mealtime?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Shaofeng, who had stood up to invite his sister-in-law to sit down and eat with him, looked quite embarrassed: "Chu Xue, what brings you here?"

Liu Chuxue glanced at Qiu's second granddaughter-in-law, who was still speaking in a sarcastic tone: "Brother-in-law, where is my sister?"

Liu Xiaqiu, who was preparing to serve soup in the kitchen, heard her sister's voice and quickly came out: "Chuxue, did something happen at home?"

She knew that her second sister would never have come over in the middle of the day if there hadn't been something important to do.

Liu Chuxue didn't want to stay and get in the way. Seeing the situation, she didn't mention borrowing money. She didn't want to put her brother-in-law in a difficult position, and she didn't want her sister to be ridiculed and bullied by her in-laws: "Sister, Dad was hit by a rock at the reservoir yesterday and injured his leg. I came to tell you."

She had barely finished speaking when Qiu's second granddaughter-in-law, who was listening intently, scoffed and said with a gloating expression, "Oh, where are you hurt? Seeing you running over in the middle of the day, you must be badly injured, right?"

These words immediately provoked public outrage, and several voices rang out simultaneously: "Shut up."

Instantly, the courtyard fell silent.
