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

Chapter 1048 Reminder
Granny Zhang thought that since the fourth son of the Fu family had already gotten married, the Fu family would definitely have to find a partner for their youngest daughter. Her silly grandson had been longing for a long time, but the boy had the desire but not the courage, which was really worrying.

Madam Fu glanced into the courtyard and smiled, "Nowadays, people value free love, and we don't want to interfere too much in her affairs. When she finds someone she likes, we, as her elders, will help her make the selection."

Upon hearing this, Granny Zhang's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Xiao Wan was already dating someone?

Before she could say anything more, she heard Fu's mother say, "Aunt Zhang, it's getting late. I have to go back and help make breakfast. The first breakfast for a new bride is important, so we can't be careless."

Granny Zhang had no choice but to agree and return home dejectedly.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw her eldest grandson standing there. She said in an annoyed tone, "If you like someone, just go and pursue her openly. You can't win a wife by just fantasizing here. You heard what Xiao Wan's mother said earlier. I'm guessing that Xiao Wan has a boyfriend."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hongchang's expression changed drastically: "No, that can't be. I overheard Aunt Fu telling her not to look for a partner on the farm, and that the family would find someone for her after her fourth brother got married."

Granny Zhang said with exasperation, "Didn't you hear what Xiao Wan's mother said just now? Free love is being promoted now. You good-for-nothing, by the time you figure it out, it'll be too late."

Zhang Hongchang nervously swallowed: "Grandma, what should we do?"

Granny Zhang took a deep breath: "What should we do? What should we do? Of course, we have to let Xiao Wan know how you feel. You're such a blockhead."

The conversation between the grandmother and granddaughter was overheard by Chu Xue, who had come out to look for a broom and dustpan. She looked at Yan Wan, who was playing with her little niece in front of the main house, and thought to herself: It's too late. If nothing unexpected happens, this girl is already taken.

Fu Yanwan looked up and saw her fourth sister-in-law looking at her: "Fourth sister-in-law, why are you looking at me?"

The two of them are now like best friends. Chu Xue glanced at the neighboring yard and beckoned to Yan Wan: "Come inside with me, I have something to tell you."

Xiao Yan patted her little niece's head and said, "You two play by yourselves." Then she stood up and went into her fourth brother's room.

After Chu Xue came in, she handed the broom and dustpan to Fu Yancheng and pulled Yan Wan to the wooden armchair: "I'm asking a question I shouldn't be asking, but as your sister-in-law, I still want to give you a heads-up."

Yanwan asked with a puzzled look, "What problem? What are you reminding me of?"

As Chu Xue watched Fu Yancheng finish sweeping the floor and go out to take out the trash, she whispered, "Are you familiar with the Zhang family next door?"

Yanwan glanced over there: "What's wrong? Did they say something unpleasant?"

Chu Xue thought for a moment and simply recounted the conversation she had overheard: "That's the situation. I didn't mean to eavesdrop on their conversation. I just happened to overhear it when I went to get the winnowing basket. I'm just reminding you that if you don't mean anything by it, it's best to have less contact with them in the future."

Fu Yanwan was surprised that her fourth sister-in-law had such good hearing, able to hear the Zhang family's conversation even through a makeshift shed.

It was only now that she understood why Grandma Zhang was always so enthusiastic. Thinking back to Zhang Hongchang, she realized that he had hidden it very well, and she hadn't realized he had any designs on her before.

But now that I think about it carefully, it seems a little different: "Fourth Sister-in-law, thank you for reminding me. I will be more careful in the future."

Chu Xue then asked softly, "How are things going between you and Ren Jiangfeng?"
