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

Chapter 74 An unexpected encounter with Old Master Xiao at the hospital

Liu's mother was surprised by her daughter's abilities. She felt both sorry for her and proud. The couple exchanged a glance and said, "Okay, let's go now."

After inquiring at the nurses' station, the mother and daughter went together to the payment counter on the first floor.

Unexpectedly, right after paying the fee, they saw Mr. Xiao and his entourage entering through the main gate.

Grandpa Xiao had obviously seen Chu Xue too: "Girl, what are you doing here?"

After he finished speaking, he remembered that the girl's father was injured and hospitalized.

Chu Xue greeted him with a smile, taking a few steps forward. "Grandpa, what brings you here?"

Grandpa Xiao patted himself lightly: "Didn't I tell you before that my granddaughter gave birth to a big, healthy boy? She's in this hospital. It's all thanks to you. My family made some fish soup, so I came along to check on her."

The old lady behind him joked, "He's not here to come and see; he's clearly here to steal the credit."

Old Master Xiao touched his nose: "Can't you give me any face in front of outsiders?"

At this moment, Liu's mother came over: "First Snow, what's this?"

Chu Xue quickly introduced, "Mom, this is Grandpa Xiao. I'm on the other side of the moat, and he's helped me a lot."

At this moment, Old Master Xiao spoke up: "We're so familiar with each other, don't keep calling me 'Old Master,' just call me Grandpa Xiao."

After saying that, he introduced her to his wife, saying, "This is the girl I was talking about. She's really good at fishing."

Since the old man had said so, she naturally wouldn't refuse: "Grandpa Xiao, Grandma Xiao."

Madam Xiao smiled broadly: "Girl, my husband has been praising you a lot since we got home. I never expected that we would meet here. Thanks to you, my granddaughter is in for a treat. We came to see the child and brought the fish soup over."

Afterwards, Liu's mother politely thanked Old Master Xiao, and the group parted ways. Seeing the old man her daughter had mentioned, she finally felt at ease, though she was still somewhat incredulous and felt a little dazed.

Before this, the couple was worried because if they couldn't pay the hospital fees, they might be kicked out of the hospital the next day. But now, thanks to their daughter's ability, the problem has been solved. It really takes time to accept this.

After finishing the important business, I remembered that Comrade Kong would be coming to pick me up later: "Mom, what did you have for lunch?"

Not wanting her daughter to worry, Liu's mother said, "I didn't skimp on the vegetables and steamed buns I ordered."

She did indeed order vegetables and steamed buns, but what she didn't mention was that she only ordered half a portion of vegetables, and she only bought the mixed-flour steamed buns for Liu's father. She herself ordered a mixed grain bun, which she probably wouldn't have been able to swallow if she hadn't eaten it with water.

Who is Chu Xue? She was a career woman in her past life, and she is very good at reading people. As soon as she saw Liu's mother's expression, she knew that she was not telling the truth.

However, she could understand. After all, given the family's situation, there was nothing that could be done. No matter the era, you can't get by without money.

The two entered the ward and saw the aunt in the next bed packing her things.

Seeing her like this, Liu's mother asked, "Sister, are you able to be discharged from the hospital?"

The woman laughed: "Yes, I just asked. The doctor checked tomorrow morning and there's nothing wrong, so I can go home to rest."

Liu's mother said with some envy, "That's wonderful."

Seeing that everything was alright, Chuxue took the lunchbox and said, "Mom, I'm going to the cafeteria to check. I'll bring you some good food later."

As soon as she left the ward, a nurse ran over and said, "I was just about to call you."

Chu Xue exclaimed with delight, "It's done so quickly?"
