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

Chapter 81 The Collapse of the Chen Family
Upon hearing the sound, Liu Chuxue thought: They're here.

She stood in a hidden spot and watched as many people turned to look when they heard the commotion.

Then an even sharper voice rang out: "Who the hell did this?"

Then a man's roar was heard: "Which bastard stole my house?"

Before long, a crowd had gathered outside the Chen family's gate.

Looking at his bare home, Chen Jiefang asked in disbelief, "Dad, was our house really robbed?"

Old Master Chen didn't bother to reply and went straight to the backyard. When he saw the scene in the backyard, he was completely stunned and muttered to himself, "It's over, it's over."

Chen Jiefang, who had caught up with him, didn't hear what he said: "Dad, what did you say?"

While those outside couldn't see it, Chuxue, who had unleashed her spiritual power, could see it clearly.

It seems that those two jars were indeed kept by Old Master Chen, without even telling his son, which can only mean that the two jars came from an illegitimate source.

Judging from this incident, this old man is probably not a gentleman at all, and his usual uprightness is probably just an act.

In the front yard, Chen's granddaughter-in-law was holding and soothing two crying children when she heard her mother-in-law, Yan Qingshuang, yell, "Crying, crying, all you do is cry! You two good-for-nothings have cried away all the good luck in the family!"

Chen Weidong was already annoyed, and when he heard his mother scolding his two daughters as a waste of money, he said unhappily, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? Besides, what does this have to do with them?"

Before things had even calmed down in the front yard, Chen Jiefang's voice came from the back yard: "Dad, Dad, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me! Weidong, Weiping, come quick, your grandpa has fainted."

Upon hearing the shout, the people in the front yard disregarded everything else and ran straight to the back yard.

However, when they arrived, Old Master Chen had already been woken up by Chen Jiefang pinching his philtrum so hard that he said in a slurred voice, "Quick, quick, go report to the police."

Chen Jiefang then realized what was happening and turned to his eldest son: "Yes, Weidong, go and report it to the police."

After Chen Weidong left, Old Master Chen took a while to recover before being helped back to the main room by his son and daughter-in-law. The police station wasn't too far from the Chen family's house, and they arrived quickly. After inspecting the scene, they were somewhat incredulous; what kind of thief could have left the Chen family destitute overnight?

Afterwards, the Chen family was questioned as usual, but when asked who opened the gate first this morning, the Chen family was stunned.

That's when they realized Chen Weiping hadn't shown up at all.

Just then, members of the Revolutionary Committee and a uniformed policeman walked in. The leader asked, "Is this Chen Weiping's house?"

Chen Jiefang hurriedly stepped forward: "Yes."

The newcomer had a cold face: "Chen Weiping was caught red-handed for indecent behavior last night. We've come to find out what happened."

The veteran police officer who came to handle the theft case walked up to the young police officer who had just entered: "Xiao Wang, what happened?"

The police officer called Xiao Wang was also a little confused: "Brother Lu, what are you doing here?"

"I just received a report of a burglary at your home. What happened on your end?"

Police Officer Xiao Wang recounted what happened last night: "That's how it happened."

The old policeman immediately had a guess in his mind.

When the Chen family learned that Chen Weiping had been arrested, and that he had been having an affair in the middle of the night, their expressions were grim.

Old Master Chen was furious and cursed on the spot: "This wretched child, how could he do such a thing?"

He almost fainted from anger again, but Chen Jiefang quickly calmed him down, and he recovered.

Yan Qingshuang, the mother, kept repeating, "Impossible, my son would never do such a thing. He must have been set up by someone."
