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

Chapter 686 Your cousin is in trouble, you have to help her.

Fu Jinyue, who was playing with her younger siblings in the yard, ran to the kitchen door and said, "Grandma, the phone is ringing."

Mrs. Fu put down the vegetables she was holding, wiped her hands on her apron, and hurried to the main room.

She thought it was her own husband calling, but it turned out to be her third daughter-in-law's family: "In-law, please wait a moment, I'll call Yu Rong right away."

“My dear in-law, don’t call her yet. I have a few things I’d like to say to you.”

"Oh, then you tell me, my dear in-law."

Although Mr. Zhang on the other end of the phone was hesitant to speak, his wife was watching him closely, so he had no choice but to say something: "My dear in-law, it's like this. Yu Rong's aunt's daughter offended your fourth son at the military base a while ago. I would appreciate it if you could put in a good word for her and let her off the hook, considering we are relatives."

Madam Fu wasn't stupid; she wouldn't agree just because they said a few sweet words. "In-laws, I don't know the specifics of what happened, so I can't give you a proper answer. Besides, since you've offended the fourth brother, you should go directly to him. I never interfere in the affairs of his brothers."

They were in-laws after all, so before the other side could say anything, Madam Fu quickly said, "I'll go call Yu Rong."

After saying that, he put the receiver aside and called out as he walked outside, "Jinyue, tell your third aunt to answer the phone."

Hearing her grandmother's words, Fu Jinyue, who was standing at the door, ran to the kitchen and said, "Third Aunt, Grandma said you should answer the phone."

Upon hearing that she was being called to answer the phone, Zhang Yurong got up and ran to the main room. Seeing her mother-in-law come out, she asked, "Mom, who called?"

Fu's mother said somewhat awkwardly, "It's your father calling, go answer it."

Zhang Yurong didn't notice anything unusual about her mother-in-law: "Why did my dad call? That's really strange."

He then went into the main room and walked a few steps to the phone: "Hello, Dad, why did you suddenly decide to call me?"

Zhang's father didn't care about anything else: "Yu Rong, your cousin is in trouble, you have to help her."

Zhang Yurong was a little confused: "Dad, what happened to my cousin?" Zhang's father then carefully told his daughter what had come from the Jiang family: "That's how it is. Now, only if your brother-in-law agrees can Jiang Ya stay safely in the army. You have to help Xiao Ya."

"Dad, you know my brother-in-law's personality. I can only ask him on his behalf. As for whether he will give me face, I really can't guarantee it."

“Xiaoya is your cousin, and your job was arranged by your uncle. You can’t just stand by and do nothing, or we’ll be seen as ungrateful.”

Having no other choice, Zhang Yurong said, "My brother-in-law went out to pick up his fiancée. I'll try to see him when I see him later."

“Daughter, this isn’t a matter of trying it out. We have to convince your brother-in-law. Xiaoya is still young. If she really gets punished, her future will be ruined. You must help me think of a solution.”

After much persuasion, we hung up the phone, and then we heard the sound of a car engine outside.

As soon as she stepped out of the main room, she saw Fu Yancheng leading his fiancée into the courtyard.

Mother Fu and her sister-in-law Guo Wenjing came out of the kitchen to greet them: "The first snow has arrived, come inside quickly."

Seeing what she was carrying, he exclaimed, "Oh dear, you came all this way, why did you bring so much stuff?"

Chu Xue chuckled lightly, "This is my first visit, just a small token of my appreciation."

Chu Xue greeted her eldest and third sisters-in-law before following Fu's mother into the main room.

Madam Fu poured him a cup of brown sugar water. After exchanging pleasantries for a while, she said, "I have something simmering on the stove. You and Yancheng chat for a bit while I go check on it."

Chu Xue nodded: "You're busy, Yan Cheng will keep me company."
