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

Chapter 1060 Are you out of your mind?

To be honest, when she heard her husband's words, Fu's mother was a hundred times unwilling. He wanted her child to move out and let this family move in. What if something happened to them? How would her child live in the house afterward?
She said with displeasure, "Such a big factory, yet there's not a place to house a family. Besides, what will the children think of you?"

Mr. Fu's face remained calm: "I've thought it over, and this is the most suitable approach."

A hint of anger flashed across Fu's mother's face: "You said it yourself, this is private property, are you out of your mind?"

Mr. Fu was afraid of upsetting his wife: "Listen to me, it was indeed an impulsive decision to ask them to move out before, but what I'm saying now is after careful consideration. The six-month deadline is just right. Once Engineer Jiao leaves, they can move back, and at the latest, Engineer Jiao's family can leave by the end of the year."

In six months, they'll probably understand how tough life is, and they won't make a big fuss over trivial matters anymore. Most importantly, the old factory director is retiring next year, and all three deputy directors are likely to be promoted to that position. If Engineer Jiao moves into our house and helps the director resolve this mess, he'll have to repay us in some way.

Fu's mother was not pleased by his words: "But have you thought about how many troubles there will be if their whole family of the elderly, weak, sick and disabled moves in?"

Mr. Fu stood up and patted her on the shoulder: "No matter how many troubles there are, it's still better than not being able to meet the conditions proposed by Engineer Jiao and having them refuse to transfer someone from outside because of that. After all, our factory can't afford to wait. Experts in this field are hard to find. We finally managed to get someone to come. We can't put the new production line on hold just because we can't meet their conditions."

Fu's mother slapped his hand away: "You deliberately told me that the old factory director is retiring next year, and that the three of you deputy factory directors might be promoted to that position, so that I would agree to let them move into our house, right?"

Mr. Fu couldn't help but touch his earlobe, saying with a flattering look, "Nothing can escape your eyes."

He composed himself and said, "The old factory director has treated me well. We've been busy with this new production line for over half a year, running around for approvals and negotiating with the coking project for almost three months before they finally agreed. But they said that if we want him to be temporarily transferred, his whole family has to come over. He can work overtime, but he must go home on time every morning, noon, and night to take care of his father-in-law's needs. That's his bottom line."

The old factory director has been quite worried these past few days about arranging accommodation for Engineer Jiao, but he hasn't been able to find a suitable place yet.

Honestly, I genuinely hadn't intended for anyone to live in my home before; it was just a sudden, impulsive thought.

Having lived together for so many years, Fu's mother didn't think he was lying: "You said before that all three of you deputy factory directors could potentially succeed the old factory director. Aren't you afraid that by doing this, people will say you're just seeking fame and fortune, and that you'll end up ruining your reputation?"

Upon hearing Fu's mother's words, Mr. Fu laughed out loud: "Justice resides in the hearts of the people; everyone has their own scale in their heart."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Fu's mother no longer objected: "Since you have thought it through, then let's do it your way. Let's inform your elder brother and sister-in-law in advance tomorrow and ask them to come and act as a mediator."

Inside the second room: "Yanwei, I didn't mean to."

Fu Yanwei now truly regrets not heeding advice and insisting on following Hao Yanhong to the countryside.
