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

Chapter 1701 Helper Arrives

After asking Aunt Wei to prepare some food for them, Fu Yancheng introduced Chu Xue to her, saying, "Wife, this is my comrade-in-arms Song Sanrui, and that is his wife Gu Xiaomi."

Sanrui used to be one of my platoon leaders. He was discharged from the army two years ago due to injury and returned to his hometown.

It turns out that the Song family had many children. Song Sanrui had two older brothers, one younger brother, and two younger sisters. He, sandwiched in the middle, had never received any attention.

Fortunately, the Song family didn't let him starve to death. Of course, this was also because he was determined to find food every day. Knowing that he couldn't eat the food he brought back, he would secretly eat it on the mountain before going back.

Later, when he was recruited into the army, after passing the physical examination, his parents didn't feel the slightest bit reluctant to let him go. They just felt that it was good to have one less mouth to feed.

They only said that he would receive a stipend to send home.

Song Sanrui was quite ambitious; he was promoted to officer within two years. He kept one-third of his monthly allowance for himself and sent the rest home, not for anyone else but for his grandmother, the only person in his family who was kind to him.

Two years ago, he was injured in a mission and had to return to the army. The military had originally arranged a job for him, but his biased parents forced him to give the job to his younger brother.

That's one thing, he's already of marriageable age, but if his parents hadn't wanted to skip her and arrange marriages for their younger son to avoid gossip, they probably wouldn't have cared about him at all.

However, the wife he found for him was inferior to his other daughters-in-law in every way, namely Comrade Gu Xiaomi who came along today.

After getting married, they lived in the family's storage room. The room that he and his younger brother used to share was given to his younger brother as his wedding room.

The couple were equally unwelcome in that home, constantly being scolded or starved, barely managing to survive.

Upon learning of his situation, Fu Yancheng had other comrades contact him. He was worried about leaving his wife alone at home, so he told Fu Yancheng.

Fu Yancheng originally intended to tell Chu Xue first, but since he was about to go on a mission, he agreed in advance.

Seeing their condition, Chu Xue couldn't help but feel a little sorry for them. Song Sanrui's left hand was missing half, leaving only half a palm, thumb, and index finger.

His wife was skin and bones, with a sallow complexion and dry hair, clearly suffering from long-term malnutrition.

Fearing that this incident would cause a rift between Fu Yancheng and his wife, Song Sanrui quickly explained, "Sister-in-law, my wife really can't survive at home, that's why I brought her out. I..."

Chu Xue knew what he was worried about: "Don't worry, I won't be upset. Since you're all here, why don't you all stay? It'll be a good opportunity to help Aunt Wei out, so she can have an easier time, and Wenbin can focus on his studies."

Song Sanrui, a grown man, had tears in his eyes: "Sister-in-law, thank you so much. Don't worry, we will definitely do our best to take good care of the three children so that you can focus on your work without any worries."

The woman looked at her timidly, but her eyes lit up when she heard Chuxue's words. After being pulled back by her husband, she mustered her courage and said, "I will definitely work hard."

However, this means their houses will be too small for them to live in.

Thinking about how the three little ones are growing up day by day, she simply said to Fu Yancheng, "Go to the Houhai Subdistrict Office later and tell Aunt Sun that we want to live in the front courtyard of that house. Tell her to tell the tenants and ask them to vacate it as soon as possible."

If you have time, have your aunt take you there in person. Since we're taking over the property temporarily, we won't charge rent this month. Give them a week to find a new place.
