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

Chapter 774 There's something even more exciting, do you want to hear it?

Seeing that she was happy, Fu Yancheng said, "It's still early, do you want to go and take a look together?"

Chu Xue glanced at her watch: "Okay, let's go take a look and decide sooner rather than later, so that someone else doesn't beat us to it."

Thinking of something, he tilted his head and asked, "Does your family know about this?"

Fu Yancheng shook his head: "I didn't tell my family."

Chu Xue smiled and nodded: "At least you have some brains."

The two took two buses: "It's just ahead. If it really works out, it will be more convenient to take the bus when we go out."

Chu Xue looked around and asked, "How far is it from here to your home?"

Fu Yancheng pointed in a direction: "Two streets away from my house, because it was previously arranged by the street, this area is mostly occupied by the families of factory workers, with a small number of private properties mixed in."

"Is the house we're looking at private property?"

"Yes, this was passed down from their ancestors. They only have one son who works in Suzhou. They are going to move there to live with him, and they are worried about leaving the house empty, so they decided to sell it."

Chu Xue lowered her voice and said, "This house can be transferred, right? I don't want to just sign a piece of paper with no protection at all."

Fu Yancheng leaned closer to her: "The policy doesn't allow it, but it can be given as a gift."

He even winked at her as he spoke.

First Snow understood: this is a case of "where there's a policy, there's a countermeasure."

Seeing that she understood, Fu Yancheng smiled and said to a red-lacquered gate not far ahead, "That's the courtyard."

Just as he was about to knock, the door opened from the inside: "Oh, Comrade Fu, you've come over?"

"Yes, I brought my fiancée to take a look."

"Come in, come in."

"Are you going out?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing serious, I just wanted to go and sit with the neighbors." The courtyard wasn't big, with three main rooms and one wing room each on the east and west sides, but the wing rooms were quite large, about the size of one and a half rooms in other people's houses.

Chu Xue really liked the house: "Auntie, can we come inside and take a look?"

The landlady was very welcoming: "Come on, let me show you."

Before entering the house, she pointed to the toilet under the jujube tree: "See? Only my family has a toilet in this area. We specially hired a craftsman to build it when my daughter-in-law came to visit. It took a lot of effort."

This was an unexpected surprise, since most people here use public restrooms.

After looking around and finding something they really liked, they negotiated a price and agreed to transfer the ownership the next morning. After paying the deposit, the two left together.

Instead of taking the bus, the two walked together along the road to the next bus stop where they would transfer.

Fu Yancheng coughed lightly: "I have something to tell you."

"what's up?"

Fu Yancheng glanced around and said in a low voice, "The matter of Yao Qidong has been settled; he will be sentenced to eight years in prison."

"Really? That fast?"

"Of course, I think the Xiao family might have also gotten involved in this."

Chu Xue was lost in thought when she heard Fu Yancheng say, "There's something even more exciting, do you want to hear it?"

"Stop keeping me in suspense, just tell me already."

"Yao Qidong has been sentenced, but at this critical juncture, news has spread from the Qi family that Qi Shufang and Yao Qidong are already engaged."

"It seems there's a lot of shady stuff going on here. I bet the Qi family has shot themselves in the foot."

"My Xue'er is so smart, do you want to guess why?"

"It's just the same few people. Either Qi Shufang is being manipulated, or Yao Qidong has something on other members of the Qi family. In any case, it's definitely not something they did willingly."
