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

Chapter 1649 Completely Showing No Face

Xiao Nianchun glanced at the man, who was the one who had led the commotion earlier: "Yes, the Department of Political Science and Law at Peking University. My niece said that after graduation, he will probably be assigned to work in the public security, procuratorate, or judicial system."

After saying that, he looked at the woman who had just offered him a toast: "I heard you were kicked out of your husband's family?"

One sentence was enough to change the woman's expression.

She wanted to curse, but her sister-in-law, who came out of the kitchen, pulled her into the kitchen: "You watch the pot for me, I need to say a few words to my sister-in-law."

Xiao Nianchun's face turned cold: "Just call me Nianchun. Calling me sister-in-law doesn't sound right."

Before she could say anything more, Xiao Nianchun said, "We have something to do, so we'll be leaving now."

Xiao Nianchun had previously thought this family was nice, but after visiting today, she felt it was best to avoid associating with such families in the future.

Qiu Jinzhou took his coat, said goodbye to the host, and nodded to the others: "I'll go first, you all have a good meal and drinks."

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Neither of them are kind people. One said, 'It's not pleasant for my younger brother and sister-in-law to hear this,' while the other said, 'I'll go first, let them eat and drink well.'"

After that incident, it's no wonder we couldn't enjoy our meal.

Sure enough, once Qiu Jinzhou left, the atmosphere was completely different from before. Everyone ate a little something and then said their goodbyes and left.

You don't even need to look to know that this family is going to have a big argument tonight. What should have been a joyous occasion has turned into a disaster because of their own family.

Meanwhile, after holding it in for a whole day and night, Fu's mother couldn't hold it in any longer: "I have something to tell you."

Mr. Fu was reading a book on mechanics. After turning a page, he said, "Go on, I'm listening."

Fu's mother moved closer to him: "Chu Xue got into Peking University."

Mr. Fu continued staring at the book in his hand: "Is Peking University so easy to get into? Don't..." He then realized what he had just said: "What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly, say it again."

He stopped reading and just stared at his wife's face.

Mother Fu put her arm around Father Fu and said, slowly and deliberately, "Fourth son's wife has been admitted to Peking University. We have received her admission notice."

Mr. Fu put the book aside and said, "When did this happen? Why are you only telling me now?"

Mother Fu laughed and said, "I wouldn't have told you if I hadn't really been holding it in."

Mr. Fu asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why is she keeping this such a wonderful thing to herself?"

Mother Fu sat up straight: "It's because Chuxue is such a sensible child. She was afraid that the rest of the family would feel too much pressure if they knew, so she thought she would wait until they had news before telling them."

Mr. Fu stood up: "Such a great thing, sir, you should..."

He had meant to say that his grandfather would be happy to know, but before he could finish speaking, he remembered that his grandfather was no longer with him.

It took him a while to recover.

Thinking that his fourth daughter-in-law had been admitted to a top university, he said, "Here's what we'll do. Whoever gets into university this time will get a reward. Tell them that we'll reward them with 500 yuan for top universities, 300 yuan for regular undergraduate universities, and 100 yuan for junior colleges. Anyway, as long as they get in, they're doing great."

When Fu's mother heard this, she felt a little sorry for them, but they were already so old, and even if they saved it, it would be given to them in the future anyway. It would be more meaningful to use it to encourage them: "Okay, I have no objection. If you decide, I will make a special trip to their place first thing tomorrow morning. Anyway, they are not too far away."

The two chatted for a few more minutes, and the matter was settled.

Mr. Fu was in a good mood, and after a while he said, "Prepare three big red envelopes later, and give them to the three children at the fourth son's place tomorrow morning. It's a small token of our appreciation as grandparents."
