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

Chapter 1001 An unexpected gain
Fu Yancheng helped Chuxue into the car, then sat down himself, holding the basket in his arms, and then placed the basket containing the eggs on top of it.

I didn't let the first snow touch my hands again.

Chu Xue replied with a smile, "I gave birth to a boy."

The woman's face was full of smiles: "That's great."

The couple greeted the driver who came to pick them up. After the woman saw Fu Yancheng's face clearly, she nudged her husband with her elbow and said, "Why does this young man look so familiar?"

Upon hearing his wife's words, the man looked at Fu Yancheng and said, "To be honest, he does look somewhat familiar."

At this moment, the driver said, "Of course he looks familiar. He looks about five or six parts like Fu, the educated youth who came to our village for the rural education."

Chu Xue glanced at Fu Yancheng before remembering, "Aren't your second brother and sister-in-law working in Huagu Village?"

Upon hearing Chu Xue's words, the woman, without waiting for Fu Yancheng's reply, asked, "Is it really related to Fu Zhiqing?"

But after saying that, his expression was indescribable.

Chu Xue immediately understood that Fu Lao Er and his wife must have been disliked by many people in the village.

For some reason, he pulled a handful of candy from his pocket—actually, he transferred it from his spatial storage—and handed it to the woman next to him without making a sound. He then leaned close to her ear and said, "Auntie, tell me about what's going on in the village."

The woman's eyes lit up with joy when she saw the candy. Although it was wrong to talk behind someone's back, she couldn't help but speak out when she saw the candy in her hand and thought about the absurd things the couple had done.

Thinking of her grandchildren, the woman stuffed the candy into her pocket, glanced at Fu Yancheng, and then leaned close to Chuxue, whispering gossip to him: "You have no idea, that couple is really cunning, especially that female educated youth. She's always complaining of aches and pains, making their squad leader furious every day."

Along the way, the woman recounted all the deeds of Fu Yanwei and his wife in Huagu Village, which Chuxue listened to with great interest.

The reason he asked around was twofold: firstly, he happened to run into her, and secondly, his future sister-in-law was no pushover, so knowing more about her wouldn't hurt. Seeing her sly glint in her eyes, like a cat that had just stolen some cream, Fu Yancheng couldn't help but smile.

The two became more and more engrossed in their conversation, and the woman even had the driver take a detour to take them to the Qiu family's house.

As soon as they arrived at the Qiu family's gate, she got out of the car and called out before even entering the courtyard, "Qiu Shui, Qi is here."

Qiu's mother was in the kitchen preparing a postpartum meal for her eldest daughter-in-law when she heard the shouts outside. She wiped herself on her apron and came out, saying, "Sister, what brings you here? Come in quickly."

The woman smiled and looked behind her: "Look who's here?"

When Qiu's mother saw that it was Chu Xue, she asked curiously, "How did you two meet?"

The woman smiled broadly: "I went to the city to see my second aunt yesterday and stayed there overnight. This morning, I happened to be on the same bus as Shaofeng's sister-in-law. The village's oxcart picked us up and gave them a ride. That's when I found out that Shaofeng's wife had given birth."

I just thought I'd stop by and see the kids."

As she spoke, she took a bag of pastries from the man's hand: "I didn't have time to go out and buy anything, so this is what my second aunt brought me. I'm sharing some with Shaofeng's wife."

After a few polite refusals, Qiu's mother accepted it with a smile.

She didn't forget to call out to her eldest son's room, "Shaofeng, come out quickly, Chuxue and Yancheng are here."

Hearing that her younger sister had arrived, Xia Qiu, who was inside the house, immediately moved to the window and said, "First Snow."

Chu Xue smiled and waved at her, "Stay away from the window, or you'll catch a cold."
