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

Chapter 1610 Fu Yanming's Promotion

Seeing her husband's sullen face, Zhang Yurong had no choice but to give up.

She didn't intend to take the fourth son's child; she had just heard that raising a child by one's side would bring good fortune in pregnancy. She offered to pay for their upbringing, but they refused, feeling that the fourth son and his wife were ungrateful.

As the food was served, the eldest son, Fu Yanming, looked at his parents and said, "Mom and Dad, I have some good news to tell you all."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at him, waiting to hear what he would say next.

Fu Yanming smiled and said, "I've been promoted. I'm now the head of the First Technical Section."

Everyone offered their congratulations.

Fu Yanming then looked at Chu Xue and said, "I'm afraid I got this thanks to my sister-in-law."

Not only the others, but even Chu Xue was puzzled: "Big brother must be joking, how could this be related to me?"

Fu Yanming laughed and said, "There were three nominees. I and the first place candidate had the same number of votes at the time, and in the end, only Deputy Factory Director Gu's vote was left."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chuxue immediately understood.

Deputy Factory Director Gu knew that Fu Yanming and I were brother-in-law and sister-in-law. Given the past favors we had received, and considering that Fu Yanming was indeed very outstanding, he naturally wouldn't vote for someone else.

Chu Xue laughed: "There is indeed a bit of personal favor involved, but Deputy Factory Director Gu is a person who clearly distinguishes between likes and dislikes. It is only because my elder brother is outstanding that he truly deserves the honor."

Guo Wenjing, who was standing to the side, felt very relieved after hearing this.

She was well aware that Deputy Factory Director Gu's vote was crucial this time, but it was indeed because her husband was outstanding. She appreciated the favor, but she didn't want people to say that her husband was able to become a section chief because of her fourth brother's wife.

With Fu Yanming's introduction, the brothers then each shared their work experiences.

Fu Yancheng naturally mentioned that he had received both an individual first-class merit and a collective first-class merit. Fu's father was the most excited when he heard this: "Come on, let's have a drink together." That was a first-class merit! The fourth son is becoming more and more composed. He only told the family about such a big thing now.

Chu Xue took the opportunity to mention the resumption of the college entrance examination. Of course, she couldn't point it out directly, but only said that she was analyzing it herself and reminding them that if they were serious, they should prepare in advance.

Today's main objective has been achieved, so the first snowflake was taken off the table early.

When she entered the house, Aunt Wei was eating while watching her three children.

Chu Xue quickly stepped forward: "Aunt Wei, you eat, I'll watch over them."

Aunt Wei rummaged through the food in her bowl: "Are we staying here tonight, or..."

Chu Xue had already decided: "Let's go back to our own courtyard tonight, instead of staying here."

Aunt Wei looked up: "Do you need me to go and clean up first?"

Chu Xue shook her head: "No need. My mother-in-law goes over to clean the house every week. It's ready to move in after a little tidying up."

Originally, Madam Fu wanted them to stay here, but Fu Yancheng had already been reminded by Chuxue, so he dared not agree: "Mom, you and Dad have to go to work tomorrow. If we stay here, it will affect you. It's more convenient to go back to the courtyard. We can pack up and leave tomorrow."

Seeing her son's insistence, Fu's mother, though somewhat reluctant, knew it was her daughter-in-law's idea and didn't insist any further: "Then I'll bring you breakfast first thing tomorrow morning."

Chu Xue knew that her mother-in-law was reluctant to part with the three children: "Mom, you have to go to work tomorrow, so we can take care of our own breakfast."

Mother Fu knew that her fourth daughter-in-law was doing it for her own good: "It's just that I get up a little earlier, it's not like I do it all the time."
