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

Chapter 689 Thank you for your hard work, sisters-in-law.

Although Zhang Yurong was somewhat unhappy, as she hadn't yet found an opportunity to mention her cousin to her brother-in-law, she knew that now was not the time to bring it up.

Although she disliked the first snow, her cousin might need her help with her matter: "Then, Fourth Sister-in-law, you should rest for a while. I'll go help in the kitchen, and we can talk properly later."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yanhong glanced at his wife: What's going on?
His wife was quite critical of his fourth brother's wife because his fourth brother didn't like her cousin, and felt that his fourth brother's wife had stolen her cousin's opportunity.

Before she could say anything more, they pulled her away.

Fu Yancheng had told Chu Xue about his family situation before, so he naturally knew that Jiang Xiaoya and Zhang Yurong were cousins. Seeing how attentive she was today, he knew without a doubt that Jiang Xiaoya's family knew about her situation and wanted to plead for her.

What Chu Xue could think of, Fu Yancheng could naturally think of as well, and they had both just heard someone calling Zhang Yurong.

The two exchanged a glance, and understood each other perfectly.

Father Fu smiled at Chu Xue and held up the bag in his hand: "An old comrade-in-arms came to Beijing on business today and specially brought me some guava and papaya from the south. Everyone can have a taste."

After saying this, Mr. Fu felt a little guilty, since he had taken it from his comrade-in-arms to entertain his fourth daughter-in-law.

The items were indeed brought from the south by his comrades, but they weren't just for him alone.

He insisted on letting everyone have a taste, and brought the rest back. Those guys then ganged up on him and ripped him off at Donglaishun before finally stopping.

Mrs. Fu smiled and accepted it, saying, "I'll take care of it right away. It'll be served as dessert after dinner."

Just then, Guo Wenjing came over and said, "Mom and Dad, the food is ready."

Mr. Fu stood up immediately: "Then let's eat."

Fu Yancheng was worried that Chuxue might not be used to it, so he stayed with her the whole time.

Mother Fu pulled over a chair and put a thick cushion on it: "Yancheng, sit in this chair. You'll be more comfortable with this cushion."

She worked on this last night. As a mother, she knew her son's temperament all too well. To make her son suffer less, she made this mat overnight.

After the food was served and everyone was seated, Chu Xue said to Guo Wenjing and Zhang Yurong, "Thank you both for your hard work." Guo Wenjing had a good impression of Chu Xue: "I asked Yan Cheng about your tastes and made a few dishes that you like. Try to eat more and see if they suit your palate."

Chu Xue was surprised that her sister-in-law would go to such lengths: "I'm really sorry to have troubled you."

Guo Wenjing, worried that Chuxue might feel embarrassed, said, "Hey, after the New Year we'll be family, why be so polite with your sister-in-law?"

Mother Fu then chimed in, "It's rare for Fourth Brother to be able to stay home for a few days. Come over whenever you have time. You two can discuss how to prepare the wedding room before it gets too cold."

Chu Xue didn't refuse: "Okay, I'll come more often when I have time."

The meal was enjoyable for everyone except Zhang Yurong, who was preoccupied and ate without much interest.

During this time, Fu Yanming praised Chu Xue quite a bit, and the children in the family would exclaim in delight when they heard this, and laughter would occasionally echo through the yard.

The neighbors kept glancing towards the Fu family's courtyard, asking, "Is the deputy factory director's family visiting?"

"It should be. I saw that his family bought a lot of vegetables, including meat and fish. It's even better than during the Chinese New Year."

At this moment, the child in the family raised his hand and said, "I know, I know."

"what do you know?"

"It's Uncle Fu's wife who's come to our house."

"What? How did you know?"

"I heard it from Sister Jinyue and the others."

"No wonder we bought so many good dishes. This is our fourth daughter-in-law's first time visiting our home, so we must treat her well."
