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

Chapter 839 caught her off guard.

Mr. Xiao was also surprised to see Fu Yancheng: "Why did you come so early in the morning? Is there something you need?"

He knew that people from his brother-in-law's former unit had come to investigate the pension issue today, and he thought there had been some changes, which is why he asked the question.

Fu Yancheng was in a very good mood: "Uncle, there's nothing major changed, just the order of the investigation subjects has been adjusted. I came over to have breakfast with you and pick you up to witness this."

Upon hearing this, Xiao's mother quickly came out of the house: "Yancheng, do you mean the comrades from the army want to see my Dujuan first?"

Fu Yancheng nodded: "Yes."

After confirming with Fu Yancheng, Xiao's mother turned around and went into the kitchen.

I don't know if she was excited or nervous, she just kept pacing around the kitchen.

When Xiao's father saw her like this, he quickly sent her back inside: "You get ready first, I'll make breakfast."

Before long, the porridge on the stove was ready. It was served with the fried dough sticks and fried dough rings that Fu Yancheng had brought, along with a small plate of pickled vegetables. Breakfast was settled.

Apart from Chunxiao, the group happened to hitch a ride with Fu Yancheng and went to the steel rolling mill together.

The military personnel had already conducted a thorough investigation in northern Jiangsu, so this trip was to help the daughter of a true martyr recover her rightful compensation.

After being questioned by the military comrades, Xiao's mother accompanied her niece and inquired about some things that happened to her elder brother before his death. She left with tears in her eyes.

The comrades in the army were very helpful; they handled the matter without the steel mill's intervention and recovered the compensation that Zhao Dujuan was entitled to.

Furthermore, they obtained compensation from their biological mother Jiang Suqing's cousin's family and gave it to her as well.

Du Juan is not yet eighteen years old, and she receives a monthly subsidy of ten yuan until she reaches adulthood. Only after all the formalities are completed will her comrades in the army leave.

As for the matter of her being switched between the two families by her cousin from her biological mother's side back then, the military couldn't hold her accountable. As for Jiang Suqing, she heard that her hometown had stopped looking for her a long time ago, and she didn't know what kind of bargaining chip they used to exchange her for someone else. She didn't intend to hold her cousin accountable.

Du Juan never expected that her comrades in the army would help her get compensation. Now that she has found her aunt and has these compensations and pensions to rely on, she doesn't care too much about her biological mother's attitude towards her, nor does she want to waste any more time on this matter. However, she has been enlightened by Chu Xue.

Before his comrades left, he still had them and the leaders of the steel rolling mill witness him severing ties with his biological mother, Jiang Suqing.

After all, she was about to come of age and didn't want her distant mother, Jiang Suqing, to interfere in her marriage. So it was better for them to keep to themselves.

Believe it or not, Jiang Suqing actually had this plan.

Thinking that no matter what, Dujuan had come to seek refuge with her, and although the mother and daughter did not get along well, she was still her biological mother, she thought of using her marriage to benefit her own family.

However, the trip by the military personnel caught her off guard.

As for the compensation money belonging to Du Juan, it was not something she willingly gave out. Rather, it was her current husband who forced her to give it out, fearing that it would affect his promotion. He naturally had his own ulterior motives.

His expression revealed his true intentions, but unfortunately, neither Chu Xue nor Fu Yancheng were fools; it would be strange if he succeeded.

After receiving the money, Du Juan went to the Xiao family immediately: "Aunt, please keep this money for me."

Xiao's mother didn't take it: "Dujuan, you're a young lady now. You should keep this money yourself. If you're worried about keeping it in your dorm, you can put it in the cabinet in the room where you live at my house. When you turn eighteen, you can open a bank account and deposit the money there. It will be a good guarantee for the future. Also, remember not to flaunt your wealth and to be discreet at work."

Dujuan knew her aunt meant well: "Aunt, I understand."

Meanwhile, an argument broke out in the Wang family's compound at the steel mill: "Zhao Lulu, either you obediently marry into the Qiao family, or you go back to northern Jiangsu and your biological parents. After all, it was your mother who wronged me, not me who wronged you and your mother."
