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

Chapter 71 How could this possibly have anything to do with me?
As Chu Xue packed her things, she listened to the two old men bickering: "Old Guo, you choose first."

The two old men who had been bickering nearby suddenly realized what had happened: "Oh no, we've fallen for Old Guo's trick! Quick, quick, we can't let him beat us to it!"

Sure enough, the battlefield quickly shifted to the fish in the bucket.

The old men's childlike antics cheered me up considerably: "I'm packing up my fishing gear and about to leave. If you don't choose now, I'm leaving."

Upon hearing this, the old men stopped arguing and quickly chose their own fish.

Grandpa Xiao grinned from ear to ear: "Girl, when are you coming next time?"

She made a good haul today. Besides the tickets, she also exchanged a lot of money under the protection of the old men. That should be enough to cover the medical expenses. So, next, she needs to deal with those who harmed the original owner of this body.

Just as I was about to say goodbye to the old men, I heard Old Master Guo say, "Little Chuxue, I must thank you."

Liu Chuxue was a little confused by these nonsensical words, and pointed to herself: "Thank me?"

Grandpa Guo nodded and didn't hide anything: "Among those people who blocked the road yesterday, there was the son of my old comrade-in-arms. Ever since his father passed away, he's been acting like a street urchin, and no matter what you say to him, it goes in one ear and out the other."

"You gave that kid a good scolding yesterday, and I never expected him to actually agree to the family's previous arrangement for him to join the army and serve his country."

To be honest, Chu Xue was a little skeptical: "Are you sure you're not mistaken? How could this possibly have anything to do with me?"

At this moment, Grandpa Xiao looked over and said, "Girl, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, but that boy really did decide to join the army because he was inferior in skill and felt that losing to a girl would be a loss of face. Old Guo must take responsibility for this."

Chu Xue truly hadn't expected such a follow-up: "If that's really the case, it's a good thing. The army is a great melting pot; it will definitely help him turn over a new leaf." After saying that, she felt a little embarrassed, wondering if she had gone too far in saying such things.

He chuckled awkwardly and quickly packed his things away, saying, "Gentlemen, I'll be going now. See you later."

Hearing what she said, the old men couldn't help but think more highly of Chuxue. Although the little girl was young, she was very clever.

Grandpa Xiao added, "Be careful on the road."

But as soon as he said this, an awkward expression flashed across his face. After all, among the people who blocked his way yesterday was that kid Lu Weijun, who was practically one of his own.

As Liu Chuxue carried the bucket of fish to the hospital entrance, she encountered Kong Yizhang, who was driving out of the hospital.

Kong Yizhang hadn't expected such a coincidence. After parking the car, he greeted Chu Xue, "Comrade Liu, what's this?"

Liu Chuxue pointed to the bucket: "I was thinking of giving my dad some extra nutrition, so I went fishing over the moat. The results were pretty good."

Remembering how much help he had received, he reached into the bucket and pulled one out. Then, he took a cloth bag rope from his pocket—actually, from his spatial storage—and threaded it through the fish's gills: "Comrade Kong, this fish is for you to try. Thank you for helping us so much."

Kong Yizhang wanted to refuse, but before he could say anything, he heard Liu Chuxue speak again: "This is a small token of my appreciation, please don't find it offensive."

Since they'd already said all that, refusing again would only make them think more, so I got out of the car and took out a cloth bag from the back: "Thank you so much, my family will be in for a treat tonight."
