Chapter Sixty-Eight: Rural Female Cadres Who Came to the City in the 1950s (7)



The last few sentences were addressed to Xiao Liu. Xiao Liu quickly ran out.

Chen Yufen never expected that she would be asked to repay the money in the end. She knew perfectly well that given the relationship between Liu Wenda and Zhou Chengguang, there was no question of repaying money.

Sitting next to her, Zhao Xiuying looked at her with a worried expression after hearing about this. Judging from her expression, if she had money in her pocket, she would have given it to her right now.

Then she looked at her own younger sister, Chen Yurong, who was still throwing a tantrum because she had tricked her into coming here. She didn't even seem to understand what Xiao Liu was saying.

Chen Yufen was even angrier. Her younger sister had always seemed so detached from worldly affairs. Like now, they were clearly discussing Zhou Chengguang borrowing money, so logically she should have given him the money Zhou Chengguang had Xiao Liu deliver earlier. After all, they wouldn't be spending much money today. That way, everyone would look good.

But she just sat there lost in her own thoughts, not even listening to what they were saying. It was as if these mundane matters had nothing to do with her.

"Xiao Liu, this money is for Company Commander Wu's wife, right? How about this, I'll come back later and deliver it to her myself."

This was different from what the political commissar had said, but seeing that Chen Yufen was already getting impatient, Xiao Liu had no choice but to agree and leave.

Wu Jingming took the 430,000 yuan that Xiao Liu handed him and cursed, "What a spendthrift woman!" "Yesterday, your sister-in-law went to the political commissar's wife to ask for that 50,000 yuan. She just casually said the money wasn't with her and sent her away. I wasn't even thinking about it. But your sister-in-law insisted on currying favor with her; consider it a lesson learned. Alright, don't worry about that money anymore. Whatever amount is what it is."

Xiao Liu glanced at him but didn't say anything. It was best if he thought that way. The way his wife acted today didn't seem like she wanted to give him money.

Not to mention how frustrated Wu Jingming felt.

After watching Zhao Xiuying leave, Xu Keke calculated the time and said to the two children, "Today, Mom will take you to the city for a stroll."

The two children were stunned. They stared at her wide-eyed in disbelief. Yuanbao immediately jumped and shouted with joy.

Da Cui looked at her worriedly, "Mother, are you alright? We don't need to go out, it's fine."

In fact, Feng Lichun was in very good physical condition. The reason his illness became chronic in his previous life and eventually ruined his health was because he didn't receive timely treatment, turning a minor ailment into a major one. After taking medicine yesterday and resting for a night, Xu Keke was still feeling a bit unwell, but much better. She felt that going out for a while would be fine.

The main problem is that she doesn't have much time left.

The military base was quite far from the city center. Xu Keke looked at the dirt road ahead and sighed deeply. She had overlooked something important: there were no buses running yet. She had led the two children for a long time; usually she was fine, but today her body was truly failing her.

Exhausted, Xu Keke could only sit down on the ground by the roadside with her two children to rest.
