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

Chapter 1073 Separation
Fu Yanwan heard her father's voice: "Dad, you're finally back! I couldn't wait."

Mr. Fu didn't understand: "What's wrong?"

Fu Yanwan pointed to the kitchen: "Dad, can't you smell this delicious aroma?"

Mr. Fu looked in the direction she pointed and saw his fourth daughter-in-law standing in front of the stove plating dishes: "What did your fourth sister-in-law cook today?"

Fu Yanwan quickly nodded and replied, "Yes, yes, it was all cooked by Fourth Sister-in-law. We were just waiting for you to come back so we could have dinner."

Knowing he had important business to attend to that evening, Mr. Fu didn't delay: "I'll go wash my hands and be right back."

When the children heard their grandfather say this, they all followed him and said, "Grandpa, we want to wash our hands too."

After washing their hands, the family members came over and the food was already on the table.

Hao Yanhong, who was inside the house, became anxious: "My Yanwei hasn't come back yet."

Upon hearing this, Fu's mother immediately said, "No one in our family has a rule of not eating until everyone is present. Get him a bowl and leave the food in the pot later."

But before anything could be done, Fu Yanwei was hospitalized.

Seeing him return, Hao Yanhong stepped forward and asked, "Why are you so late?"

Fu Yanwei coughed lightly: "The mission is still a little short, so I stayed a little longer."

What he didn't tell the truth was that the thought of separating the family property tonight made him a little irritable, and he subconsciously didn't want to come back early. He found a place to watch the old men play chess, and if those old men hadn't gone home for dinner, he probably wouldn't have planned to go back.

Mother Fu called out to them, "Now that you're back, stop dawdling."

After saying that, she seemed to remember something and asked, "Qiu Sheng, are your older brother and sister-in-law coming over for dinner?"

Mr. Fu waved his hand and said, "They said they'd come over after they've eaten."

After everyone was seated, they smelled the fragrant dishes and all looked eager to try them.

After Mr. Fu started eating, everyone else followed suit, taking a bite of food and then abandoning all pretense of modesty. Even Fu Yanwei, who had been in a bad mood, was no longer interested in dividing the family property.

Everyone enjoyed the meal.

Just as they finished clearing the dishes, the eldest son and his wife from the Fu family came over.

The meal was cooked by Guo Wenjing, the eldest sister-in-law, and Chu Xue. The two tacitly agreed not to take over the task of washing the dishes.

Zhang Yurong, on the other hand, was quite self-aware; she put on an apron and went to the pond in the yard.

Seeing that her second sister-in-law Hao Yanhong was about to enter the house, she said, "Second sister-in-law, since the eldest sister-in-law and fourth sister-in-law made the meal, let's wash the dishes and chopsticks."

Hao Yanhong thought she could get away with it, but she was about to enter the house when her third sister-in-law called her back. She had no choice but to return dejectedly: "Third sister-in-law, I was going to go back and find an apron before coming back."

Zhang Yurong didn't care what she said: "Second sister-in-law, eldest uncle and aunt are still waiting, we need to hurry up."

Although Hao Yanhong didn't want to do it, she had done a lot of chores at her parents' home before, so washing dishes was naturally a piece of cake for her.

After they finished washing the dishes and entered the living room, Fu's father, seeing that everyone was present, finally spoke: "I told everyone this morning that we would separate the family property after the fourth son's wedding and return to his parents' home. I specially invited your eldest uncle and aunt to come and witness this."

Then Fu's mother came out carrying a box and handed it to Fu's father.

Mr. Fu opened the box: "We have 3,380 yuan in the house now, plus you all."

Before she could say anything more, Zhang Yurong interrupted, "There can't be only this much money, can there?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Fu Yanhong pulled her aside: "Just listen carefully, who told you to talk back?"

Zhang Yurong clearly knew she had made a foolish mistake: "Dad, I didn't mean to question you. I was just thinking that we pay living expenses every month, and your and Mom's salaries aren't low either. There's no way you'd only have this little money left."
