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

Chapter 858 I'm Not Going to Be Tortured

Deputy Battalion Commander Shen didn't expect him to say such a long thing: "Heh, he's not even married yet, and he's already calling her 'wife' all the time. It seems our Fu Tieshu has really blossomed."

His words made Deputy Regiment Commander Gong and Deputy Company Commander Zhang, who were sitting in the back, laugh as well.

Indeed, Fu Yancheng was quite a hot commodity in the army. He was good-looking, capable, and came from a good family. Naturally, many people had designs on him. However, he never knew what chivalry was. He was all about being sarcastic and sharp-tongued. If you didn't have a thick skin, you really wouldn't dare to mess with him.

Watching the vehicle drive into the military base, Yu Chunmei stood there for a long time before she came to her senses.

She had originally planned to let things unfold gradually, but she never expected that after going away for training and then coming back for her period, she would hear that Fu Yancheng was engaged. She really couldn't accept it.

I thought I had finally let go after adjusting for so long, but the moment I saw him, I realized that I was still captivated by him.

After registering and entering the family compound, I was greeted by my aunt who had come out to meet me.

Commander Guan's wife, Geng Yanwen, smiled at her niece: "I've been waiting at home for ages and haven't seen you. I just came out to pick you up."

Yu Chunmei stepped forward and took her aunt's arm: "It's nothing. I ran into someone when I got off the bus and was delayed for a while."

Geng Yanwen asked curiously, "Who did you run into?"

Yu Chunmei was surprised that her aunt would ask directly, and an awkward expression flashed across her face.

Geng Yanwen had three sons but no daughters, and had always treated this niece like her own daughter. Seeing her expression, she said, "You didn't run into Fu Yancheng, did you?"

Before Chunmei could say anything, she asked, "You started talking to him?"

Yu Chunmei was even more embarrassed. She couldn't very well tell her aunt that she had just been staring at him in the car and that's why she was late.
Seeing her aunt staring at her, she said, "Oh dear, I only saw him. You know what kind of person he is. If I were to approach him and start a conversation, he probably wouldn't say a kind word. I'm not going to go looking for trouble."

Geng Yanwen patted her nephew's hand: "There are plenty of good men in the army. Since he's blind, don't be so stubborn. I'll have your uncle find you someone even better, understand?" Yu Chunmei nodded gently: "Okay."

Yu Chunmei is a teacher in the city. Although she likes Fu Yancheng, she still has her bottom line. Although she is unwilling, she will never do anything like pestering him.

Chu Xue told her mother, changed into a presentable outfit, and left with Duan Ruirui.

When the two arrived, Uncle Xiao and his wife were already in the private room. Xiao Wanpeng was standing at the door, ready to greet them: "Rui Rui, Chu Xue, how did you two meet?"

Duan Ruirui said coquettishly, "It's not like we met by chance. Today is the first snow and we're on holiday. I specially went to her house to get it."

Chu Xue smiled and said to Xiao Wanpeng, "Cousin, congratulations."

Xiao Wanpeng smiled broadly: "You'll be busy later on."

Chu Xue naturally understood what he meant: "We're all family, so feel free to ask if you need anything."

Seeing that the rest of the Duan family hadn't arrived yet, Xiao Wanpeng said, "You two go upstairs first. My parents are already upstairs. I'll wait for Uncle Duan and the others here."

Duan Ruirui, worried that her brothers might be being difficult, said, "Chuxue, you go upstairs first. I'll wait here with Wanpeng. They should be here soon."

But before she could finish speaking, she saw her father and several brothers: "Dad, eldest brother, second brother, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law."

Mr. Duan, noticing his son-in-law and daughter waiting there, asked, "Have you been waiting long?"
