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

Chapter 855 The fellow villager didn't say why he was beaten up.
Upon hearing this, Chu Xue smiled broadly: "So you'll soon be my cousin-in-law."

Duan Ruirui glanced around, then raised her hand and shoved Chu Xue: "Alright, stop teasing me. Are you free tonight or not?"

Chu Xue quickly raised her hand: "Yes, yes, yes, I'll make time for you no matter how busy I am."

But then, remembering something, she asked with a worried look, "Why the rush?"

Duan Ruirui's smile vanished instantly: "Those people in my family know I have a boyfriend, yet they still want to marry me off to a divorced man. It's obvious there's something fishy going on. Your cousin and I think it's best to get the wedding on the agenda as soon as possible, to avoid any unforeseen complications."

Chu Xue thought about it and agreed: "It seems you're going to get ahead of me."

Duan Ruirui quickly adjusted: "If you weren't too old, your Fu Yancheng would probably have dragged you to get your marriage certificate long ago."

Chu Xue laughed and shamelessly said, "Of course, it's because everyone loves me."

Unbeknownst to the two, while they were joking around, someone was flipping through a calendar and muttering to himself, "Time really flies."

His roommate, Deputy Battalion Commander Shen, overheard his words and remarked, "What are you lamenting about again?"

Fu Yancheng lay down on the bed: "Why are the days passing so slowly?"

Deputy Battalion Commander Shen shook his head and chuckled: "So you're thinking of taking another leave to see your fiancée?"

Fu Yancheng did not deny it, but he tilted his head and looked at Deputy Battalion Commander Shen, who was soaking his feet, and asked, "Isn't your wife coming to join you in the army? Have you applied for family housing yet?"

While wiping his feet, Deputy Battalion Commander Shen replied, "I submitted the application a few days ago, but my wife wants to live in an apartment building, so I guess we'll have to wait a while."

As the two were chatting, they heard hurried footsteps outside. Before they could stand up, the door was pushed open: "Yancheng, Kaiyuan, something bad has happened."

Upon seeing the newcomer, the two asked in unison, "What happened?"

As they spoke, they all stood up. Then they heard Deputy Regiment Commander Gong, who was leaning against the door frame and panting heavily, say, "That kid Su Haiqing got ganged up on and beaten up."

"what?"

Where is he now?

Deputy Regiment Commander Gong finally caught his breath: "Don't make a fuss about this in Baifu Village. You two hurry up and pack your things, and we'll go take a look together."

The three of them went downstairs and saw that a car was already parked downstairs.

Deputy Regiment Commander Gong went to the car first: "Let's talk in the car."

As soon as the three of them got into the car, it shot off like an arrow.

Deputy Battalion Commander Shen spoke first: "Deputy Regiment Commander, what exactly happened? How did he get surrounded and beaten up?"

When Fu Yancheng heard about Baifu Village, he had already guessed it, but he didn't speak first. Instead, he wanted to hear what Deputy Regiment Commander Gong had to say.

Deputy Regiment Commander Gong's face was very grim: "That kid is on leave today and left the army early this morning. I gave him a ride when I left the army this morning. Just now, I was coming back from running errands in the city when I met a fellow villager on the road. He saw that it was an army vehicle and stopped the car directly. He said that a company commander surnamed Su in the army was beaten up in the village. Although he didn't suffer any losses, he couldn't leave for a while. As soon as I heard his description, I thought it was him."

I just got back and went to ask, and that kid really hasn't rejoined the team yet.

Fu Yancheng then spoke up: "Didn't the villager say why he was beaten up?"

Deputy Regiment Commander Gong frowned slightly: "He only said that his girlfriend's ex-fiancée went to the girl's house to cause trouble, and he was beaten up because he was protecting the girl."

The troops were not far from Baifu Village, and soon arrived at the village.
