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

Chapter 789 It's always better to have two people handle it than to fight alone.
After the family reunion banquet, Xiao Changsheng was officially recognized as a member of his ancestral clan.

The next day, Grandpa Xiao asked Xiao Wanxia and her husband to show them around. They planned to host a small dinner party that evening, inviting relatives, friends, neighbors, and colleagues to witness the event and help Xiao Changsheng's family quickly integrate into the social circle.

Chu Xue didn't stay at the Xiao family's house last night; Xiao Wanpeng drove her and Duan Ruirui back to the factory.

Duan Ruirui came to Chuxue's place as soon as she got up in the morning: "Chuxue, I'm a little confused. I got up early to come and confirm that I wasn't dreaming yesterday, right? If nothing unexpected happens, we'll be sisters-in-law from now on, right?"

Chu Xue fell back onto the bed: "Yes, yes, you're right, my future cousin-in-law."

Duan Ruirui burst into laughter: "Oh dear, such important news! It's a pity Kunlan isn't here, otherwise the three of us would have an amazing relationship."

Chu Xue rolled over, wanting to go back to sleep, when Duan Ruirui said, "Why are you sleeping again?"

Chu Xue mumbled sleepily, "There's still a while before work starts, let me take a nap, I'm so sleepy."

Duan Ruirui leaned closer to the bed and looked at her: "You really have a big heart. You're probably the only one in your family who's so calm."

Chu Xue naturally understood what she meant: "Are you too excited to sleep, so you came over early in the morning to bother me?"

Duan Ruirui said sincerely, "You guessed it. I only knew that Xiao Wanpeng's father worked at the railway bureau, but I didn't know what position he held, let alone that his grandfather lived in a military compound."

Thinking of something: "I'll write to Quinlan right away. She's really cautious; she didn't tell me a single word."

Chu Xue looked at her, who was sometimes happy and sometimes annoyed, and asked, "What are you thinking with that little brain of yours?"

Duan Ruirui said with a worried look, "I'm thinking that before it's done, I absolutely can't let my family know about this. Let them still think that the Xiao family is just an ordinary family."

Chu Xue looked at her amusedly: "Then the parents will have to meet." Duan Ruirui said in a serious tone: "We'll meet at a state-run restaurant. As for them trying to cause trouble after the wedding, that depends on whether I agree or not."

Chu Xue gave her a thumbs up: "You're awesome."

After talking for a while, Chu Xue was half awake: "You didn't stay up all night thinking about this, did you?"

Duan Ruirui nodded and said, "When my mother was alive, my two older brothers were very good to me. Later, they each got married and started their own families, and gradually they also had their own thoughts."

My two sisters-in-law had tried to persuade them to use my marriage to gain benefits. If I hadn't resisted so strongly, and my dad hadn't almost fallen out with them, they probably would have succeeded. Because of this, my relationship with my family has been quite tense, as you know.

Therefore, Xiao Wanpeng's true family situation must never be known before the marriage. As for what happens later, even if they find out, I simply won't listen to their nagging.

Chu Xue laughed: "You know, since you and my cousin have already decided on each other, you should tell him in advance if anything happens. It's always better for two people to deal with things than for you to fight alone."

Duan Ruirui sighed: "I'm just afraid that if he finds out, what if he has a bad impression of me?"

Chu Xue patted her shoulder: "How will you know if it's a person or a ghost if you don't try?"

Upon hearing this, Duan Ruirui suddenly laughed: "That's your little cousin."

Chu Xue laughed too: "Because we're friends, I'm definitely on your side."

Having said it out loud, I felt a little less choked up: "You're right, some things really don't need to be overcomplicated. First Snow, thank you."
