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

Chapter 863 Don't try to fool me with lies.
After giving a full statement at the police station, Chu Xue was about to have breakfast at a state-run restaurant.

To her surprise, she saw her future sister-in-law, Fu Yanwan: "When did you get back?"

Fu Yanwan didn't expect to run into her fourth sister-in-law here: "I came back with a friend to take care of some business. Fourth sister-in-law, please don't tell my fourth brother."

As he spoke, he clasped his hands together and said, "I'm entrusting this to you, Fourth Sister-in-law."

Chu Xue was a little confused: "What's going on with you? Why won't you let me tell your fourth brother?"

Fu Yanwan's heart pounded with anxiety. She thought to herself: "If Fourth Brother finds out, then the whole family will know."

After glancing at his companions, he pulled Chuxue aside and said, "Fourth Sister-in-law, I came back with a friend and didn't have time to go home to see my parents. Please keep this a secret, or I'll definitely get scolded."

Chu Xue glanced at the girl standing not far away: "Don't tell me that girl is your friend, that you came back with her. You'd better tell me the truth."

Fu Yanwan hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "I came back with my boyfriend. That girl is my boyfriend's sister."

Chu Xue's expression became even more serious: "From what you're saying, you came back last night, but didn't go home. Don't tell me you stayed at your boyfriend's house."

If that's the case, and I keep it a secret for you, your fourth brother will definitely be angry when he finds out later.

Fu Yanwan understood Chu Xue's thoughts perfectly well: "Fourth Sister-in-law, I stayed at the guesthouse last night, don't worry."

Chu Xue breathed a sigh of relief, thinking: I hope this little sister-in-law doesn't do anything foolish.

Fu Yanwan said, "I met someone at the educated youth settlement."

She suddenly stopped talking and squinted at Chuxue: "Fourth Sister-in-law, did you already know about my relationship?" Chuxue wasn't falling for her trick: "Hurry up, don't try to change the subject."

Although Fu Yanwan was suspicious, she still whispered, "My boyfriend also lives in the city. Yesterday afternoon, he suddenly received a call from home saying that his grandfather had slipped and fallen, and it was very serious. He asked my boyfriend to come back quickly to see him one last time."

He was raised by his grandfather since he was little, and he wanted his grandfather to meet me, so we rushed back yesterday afternoon and didn't get home until late. Besides, his grandfather's condition in the hospital wasn't good, so we didn't have time to go home. Fourth sister-in-law, please, you have to keep this a secret for me.

Chu Xue wasn't fooled: "This alone isn't enough to make you lie. If it were true, even if your family knew, they wouldn't blame you. Are you hiding something from me?"

Fu Yanwan froze on the spot: "Fourth Sister-in-law, you..."

Seeing her expression, there was nothing he couldn't understand; he knew he had guessed correctly: "Don't try to fool me with lies."

Since she was going to marry into the Fu family next year, she couldn't just ignore it. Otherwise, if something really happened to her sister-in-law, wouldn't she become the sinner? "If you don't tell me, I'll call your fourth brother right now."

Having no other choice, Fu Yanwan confessed: "Actually, we got the marriage certificate so that his grandfather could be at ease."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xue immediately exploded: "What did you say?"

Fu Yanwan glanced around: "Fourth Sister-in-law, don't be angry. I know this was indeed somewhat inappropriate, but..."

Chu Xue felt she couldn't keep this a secret, nor could she pretend not to know: "Xiao Wan, this is no small matter. I definitely can't help you hide it. Even if you're unhappy, I have to tell your fourth brother about this. As for whether he'll cover for you or not, that's between you and your brother. I hope you can understand."
