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

Chapter 522 Helping in times of need
After arriving at the cowshed, Fu Yancheng followed Kong Yizhang's instructions and found the house where the Kang family lived.

After a few light knocks, someone inside the house asked alertly, "Who is it?"

Fu Yancheng lowered his voice and replied, "There's only one truth."

This was the secret code that Kong Yizhang had agreed upon with them when he came last time.

Upon hearing that it was someone from their own side, Old Master Kang quickly got off the kang (a heated brick bed), opened the door, and looked around: "Come in quickly."

After Fu Yancheng entered the house, the old man said anxiously, "Didn't I tell him last time to stop interfering with us? Why won't he listen?"

Fu Yancheng quickly whispered, "Uncle Kang, it's me, Yancheng."

Upon hearing that it was Fu Yancheng, Old Master Kang became even more anxious: "You should leave immediately, this is not a place for you."

He was afraid that if someone found out, it would implicate him.

Fu Yancheng quickly stopped the hand that was about to push him out the door: "Uncle Kang, don't worry, no one will notice that I came."

Grandpa Kang already knew from Kong Yizhang that Fu Yancheng's fiancée was the girl he had previously begged at his door. He said anxiously, "Who knows how many people are watching us in the shadows? What if we get discovered? Will you ruin your future?"

Fu Yancheng placed what he was carrying against the wall in the dark: "Uncle Kang, to make a long story short, the woman who reported you has probably already smuggled herself out of the country, so there's no way to deal with her for the time being. However, the man who harmed Sister-in-law Nan Yue, Yi Zhang is about to close in, and he'll be able to avenge Sister-in-law soon."

Upon hearing this, Kang Yuanwei, who was on the kang (a heated brick bed), finally spoke up: "Please thank Yizhang for me, and also thank you and those brothers who have been secretly helping our Kang family. If one day our Kang family still has a future, we will definitely repay your kindness in return."

Grandpa Kang also knew that this was the best possible outcome: "Tell Yizhang that's enough. Don't take any more risks for the Kang family. We are already content."

Fu Yancheng replied, "Okay, next time I come, I'll put the things on the poplar tree behind your house. Keep an eye on it, and if anything happens, you can leave me a message there."

After finishing his business, Old Master Kang didn't let Fu Yancheng linger any longer. Using the moonlight streaming through the broken window, he pointed to the bundle placed against the wall: "Keep these things safe. Don't be stingy. Only what you eat is truly yours."

Watching them leave, Old Master Kang closed the door and turned around. He knew everyone inside was awake: "Yuanwei, Jinze, you must remember this kindness."

Kang Yuanwei and Kang Jinze's voices rang out at the same time: "Dad/Grandpa, we remember."

Seeing that his son and grandson agreed, Old Master Kang then opened the bundle by the moonlight filtering in.

When they saw what was inside, they were startled: "This!"

Kang Yuanwei quickly said, "Dad, I'll go to the back mountain to find a place to hide the things, and bring some back every day when I go to collect firewood."

Grandpa Kang looked at his grandson: "Alright, since that's the case, the sooner the better."

Kang Yuanwei naturally understood what his father meant, and immediately got up from the kang (a heated brick bed): "Mom, Jinze, you two go to sleep quickly, don't wait for us."

Grandpa Kang pulled out four steamed buns from inside: "I didn't expect the two of you to be so thoughtful. Here, these have no flavor. Fill your stomachs first, then we'll go out."

Kang Jinze's eyes widened instantly as he knelt on the kang (a heated brick bed), overjoyed. He took the steamed bun and put it in his mouth, exclaiming, "Mmm, fragrant, soft, so delicious!"

His speech was somewhat unclear.

Grandma Kang wanted to save the steamed buns for her grandson, and was about to refuse when she heard Kang Yuanwei say, "Mom, it's hot now, these things won't keep. Yancheng is right, what you eat is what you truly own."

She knew exactly what her son was thinking: "Sigh, I'll eat it."
