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

Chapter 676 Do you want this luck?
The atmosphere here was terrifying, while the scene at the Fu family's residence was quite different.

Mrs. Fu asked incredulously, "Are you telling the truth?"

Fu Yanming took a sip of the cool boiled water his eldest daughter handed him: "Of course it's true. The factory broadcast it three times on repeat. How could it be fake?"

Mrs. Fu was very excited and slapped her thigh, saying, "This really makes us proud."

Zhang Yurong said sourly, "The factory alone gave out two hundred yuan as a bonus, so the army must have given out more. Fourth sister-in-law's luck is unparalleled."

But as soon as she finished speaking, Fu's mother rolled her eyes at her: "Do you want this luck?"

Zhang Yurong wanted to say "yes," but then she thought about how it would involve fighting enemy agents, and she shuddered in fear: "I'm afraid I don't have that ability, so I'd better not."

Fu's mother's face was full of displeasure: "You know you don't have that ability, so why are you being so sour?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Zhang Yurong's face: "I didn't mean anything by it, I was just a little envious and that's why I misspoke, Mom, please don't be angry."

Mother Fu glanced at the people in each household and thought that after her fourth daughter-in-law entered the family next year, it would be best to separate the family property as soon as possible. At that time, her eldest son's family would move out, her fourth daughter-in-law would go to the army, and each family would live their own lives. This would reduce the chaos in the future.

Guo Wenjing spoke up: "Mom, since my fourth brother is going home to recuperate next week, shouldn't we invite his wife over for a visit?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Fu smiled and said, "You're thinking the same thing as me."

Guo Wenjing took out a few coupons from her pocket: "Mom, I still have a few meat coupons here. Please keep them for now. First, my fourth brother needs to eat something nutritious when he comes back. Second, when my fourth brother's wife comes over, we need to prepare a good meal. I'll see if I can exchange them for other coupons later."

Zhang Yurong was surprised that her sister-in-law was so cunning: "Sister-in-law is so thoughtful."

Guo Wenjing hated her sarcastic tone the most: "Why isn't Third Sister-in-law going to do anything?"

Zhang Yurong coughed lightly: "It's almost the end of the month, and I really don't have any tickets left. Let's call it a day."

Before he could finish saying the word "了", Guo Wenjing interrupted, "What's the big deal? The receipts for next month should be ready soon. You can just give them to Mom then. Fourth brother isn't just staying for a day, right?"

Even though Zhang Yurong was unwilling, she had no choice but to reply, "That's true, sister-in-law is very thoughtful."

Seeing that her third daughter-in-law had been disciplined, Fu's mother's initial discomfort dissipated. At this moment, Fu Yanhong, who had been silent until now, spoke up and asked, "Mom, didn't you go to take care of fourth brother? Why are you back?"

Fu's mother suddenly laughed: "It's all because the fourth son cares about me. He wouldn't let me stay there no matter what, saying that his wound has already scabbed over and that Xiao Guo can take care of him."

Upon hearing this, Guo Wenjing smiled and replied, "It's all because your fourth brother knows how to care for you."

Hearing this, Fu's mother felt even more pleased: "Don't let that boy's cold demeanor fool you, he's a very honest person."

Guo Wenjing poured her mother-in-law a glass of water: "Fourth brother is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. You rest, I'll go cook now."

Fu Yanhong quickly nudged his wife with his elbow and gestured to her with his eyes for her to go and help.

When Fu Yanming saw his third son's actions, a smile flashed across his face.

Zhang Yurong reacted quickly: "Sister-in-law, I'll go with you."

As soon as his two sisters-in-law left, Fu Yanming said, "Someone will be delivering paint tomorrow. I was thinking of painting the doors and windows before Lao Si arrives, so that by the time he comes back, the smell will have mostly dissipated."

After thinking about it, Mrs. Fu agreed: "Alright, you can arrange it as you see fit."

Then, as if remembering something, he said, "Oh, right, the fourth brother said he found someone to build a bigger coal stove, and they'll run pipes from the top. You guys take a look and see which one is suitable."

Fu Yanming nodded: "That's not urgent. We can deal with it when he gets back."

Fu Yanming said, "By the way, Mom, should we tell my younger sister and second brother about my fourth brother's injury?"

Mrs. Fu frowned and thought for a moment: "Let's forget it, so they won't come back and cause trouble."

Fu Yanming wanted to say something, but his mother raised her hand to stop him, saying, "Do as I say."
