The midterms are coming up; if you fail, just wait and see how I deal with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chun Xiao stuck out her tongue. She wasn't as good at studying as her second sister, so she naturally lacked the capital to be reckless and had to honestly shovel the noodles into her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they still had to work in the afternoon, the Party Secretary and the others had brought people over early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Chuxue went out, she specifically took a pack of Fragrant Mountain cigarettes from her space and put it in her pocket. Once she arrived, she opened the pack and handed them out to the men who had come to help: \"Have a smoke. It’s hard work coming over to measure during your rest time, thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle Liang, who had followed along, laughed: \"Look, it pays to be educated. That’s the kind of talk that makes everyone feel good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Party Secretary took out a match to light his own cigarette, not forgetting to offer a light to the Village Head beside him: \"Chuxue is a straightforward person. She’s even started smoking these paper cigarettes. Everyone, let’s get moving.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all experienced hands and worked efficiently; it didn't take long for them to measure out the homestead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mother Liu stepped forward then: \"Party Secretary, Village Head, our family has split up now. Shouldn't we take this opportunity to mark out our private plot as well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Party Secretary nodded: \"That is indeed something that needs doing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Village Head glanced at the remaining space behind the homestead and looked at the Party Secretary: \"Uncle Dagui, there is still some space left behind the house.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Party Secretary looked over: \"How about this: we'll give you an extra half-meter, and you can put in the hard work to clear the wasteland yourselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Village Head agreed; after all, that area was overgrown with weeds and would indeed take time to clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mother Liu naturally had no objections. Although her husband needed care, he wasn't so helpless that she couldn't leave his side. Before it was time to plant seedlings, they would certainly be able to clear the land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the private plot was also measured out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the others left, Chuxue looked at the private plot and said, \"Mom, this way we can also make use of that long, thin strip left on the outside. Even if we can't plant crops, we can clear it out and plant pumpkins, gourds, loofahs, and beans along the edge—we can just stick some trellises in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mother Liu laughed: \"That’s what I was thinking too. Since that long strip is left over anyway, it’s unlikely to be given to anyone else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had they finished measuring than the villagers got the news, and soon the Liu family also learned that the second branch was going to build a new house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Woman Liu stood in the courtyard, cursing until spit flew: \"They clearly aren't short of money, yet they still scheme against their own eldest uncle. They truly have black hearts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A family of heartless wretches, not caring a whit about family ties. Let’s see which family dares to deal with them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Mother Liu and Chuxue returned, they happened to hear these very words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mother Liu’s expression changed instantly, and she prepared to rush up and argue with her mother-in-law, but Chuxue held her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chuxue walked into the courtyard and said, \"Grandma, no one in the village is a fool. You aren't cursing our second branch with those words; you’re clearly describing the eldest uncle’s family. It really is hard on you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you babbling about, you black-hearted thing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we’re talking about black hearts, that would be the eldest aunt. If we’re talking about being heartless, the eldest branch is even worse. If they had any regard for family ties, they wouldn't have done such insane things. With parents like that, the second cousin and the younger cousin will have a hard time in the future. Which family would want to marry into a household like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandma, with your voice so loud, are you afraid others won't know what kind of wicked things the eldest uncle’s family has done?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, she burst into loud laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Woman Liu was so angry that she pointed her finger at her: \"You, you, you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",775,"2026-06-12T06:53:31.998Z","2026-06-18T03:46:55.665Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","682ae194c23126e01ea43b235c3c804579ccfff3e8a2681adc889b77ac8b76da","1970s-the-fiery-military-wife-takes-the-family-t-chapter-111","1970s-the-fiery-military-wife-takes-the-family-t-chapter-109",1848,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002F1970s-the-fiery-military-wife-takes-the-family-t-cover.jpg"]
