Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife-Chapter 101 - 0: Meeting of the Twin Beauties 1_1

As a scholar, Lu’s father was steadfastly stubborn and old-fashioned, harboring an untouchable moral line in his heart.

Wang Jiao’s behavior had crossed her father-in-law’s moral line.

He saw Wang Jiao as a person of no virtue.

Thus, no matter what Wang Jiao said, he refused to accept the half-basket of charcoal she offered.

Although Wang Jiao had attained an age almost comparable to Lu’s father in her previous life, her unchallenged and sheltered life devoid of experiences and adaptability caused her failure.

Fearing that the charcoal would upset her parents, she flung the basket along with the charcoal into the river, watching them sink.

Others who saw this would denounce her as wasteful. However, her soul originated from decades later, having enjoyed wealth and prosperity unknown to anyone in this era. Thus, a half-basket of coal was immaterial to her.

How much could half a basket of charcoal be worth after all?

"Why is he as old-fashioned as my father! Do I really fall short compared to Feng Qingxue? Does he not realize that by marrying me, his family wouldn’t need to worry about future troubles in Wanglou Brigade?" Wang Jiao said indignantly, anger flaring in her eyes, "I must make them change their decision. I have to sabotage the marriage between Feng Qingxue and Lu Jiang before it takes place!"

Although Wang Jiao was clueless about how to sabotage it, she was persistent in coming up with a plan.

Now, she needed to meet Feng Qingxue first to understand the person that won the approval of the Lu Family, and whose marriage her father would even sacrifice his own daughter’s happiness to protect.

She proposed to visit Caohu Brigade the day after the snowstorm when she failed to meet Feng Qingxue.

She told her parents that she wished to check on her two cousins. Not only did Wang Zhengguo and Miao Fengqin not stop her, but they also entrusted her to bring Feng Qingxue two cabbages and a half-basket of chili radishes.

As Wang Jiao hadn’t done chores for a long time, she refused to carry such heavy items over such a long distance.

"I won’t bring them. Once I meet her, she can come and collect them herself!"

Left with these words, she ran out of the house at breakneck speed.

The snow was a foot deep and it was difficult to walk through. After struggling, she finally arrived at Feng Qingxue’s house and spotted three men - a middle-aged man and two young men using a ladder and broom to clear the snow from the roof. They were almost finished, with the straw roof peeking through the minimal remaining snow.

As for Feng Qingxue, she was wearing a Lei Feng hat, a military coat, and women’s military boots. She was standing in the courtyard, watching the freshly swept snowfall and pile up.

"Uncle Er, Brother Dadan, Brother Erdan, come down and have some hot water."

Being girls, Feng Qingxue and Feng Qingyun couldn’t clear the roof snow themselves. Fearing the snow might cause the roof to collapse, their Uncle and his two sons came over after breakfast to help.

Dadan and Erdan were the nicknames of the two sons, their real names being Aizhong and Aihua.

The goods that Feng Qingxue brought for her uncle and aunt, the sons Aizhong and Aihua would naturally partake. They willingly helped, also hoping to garner some favor with Feng Qingxue.

Even if Feng Qingxue wasn’t very resourceful, Lu Jiang was. Who could guarantee that they wouldn’t need his help in the future?

Ignoring everything else, the military coupons that Lu Jiang held were enough to make people envious.

Why did people respect and admire soldiers? One, because they fought fiercely to protect their homes and country. Two, their salaries were high. Third, they had access to military coupons - tickets that the general public could never have, which allowed them to buy scarce items.
