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

Chapter 865 gets to the point: what exactly happened?
Chu Xue kept wondering if she was being too sensitive or if that family was really plotting something, and whether Xiao Wan's boyfriend knew about it.
I arrived at the office in a daze, only to hear some big news: "First Snow, Director Wang's adopted daughter from Workshop Three is getting married today. Are you going to give a wedding gift?"

Chu Xue looked completely bewildered: "Who?"

Seeing her ask this question, Wang Minmin repeated herself: "The adopted daughter of Director Wang of Workshop Three, that's Zhao Lulu, the one who was switched with your cousin."

Chu Xue hurriedly asked, "She got married, but who did she marry?"

Seeing that she really didn't know, Wang Minmin leaned closer and whispered, "I heard she married the son of Director Qiao of the District Red Committee. Let me tell you, that son of hers is a bit dim-witted. He probably just wanted Director Qiao's family because they're well-off."

Chu Xue was surprised that Jiang Suqing had married off her adopted daughter so quickly: "How could Zhao Lulu agree to this?"

Wang Minmin smiled and returned to her seat: "Director Qiao only has one son, and he's quite good-looking. Given Zhao Lulu's current situation, it's impossible for her to marry into the Qiao family. Anyway, she won't have to worry about food and drink once she marries into the Qiao family."

As she spoke, she turned around and whispered, "Rumor has it that Director Qiao promised her a job transfer if she marries his son. I bet she doesn't want to stay at the steel mill anymore, and she can't possibly go back to northern Jiangsu to find her biological mother."

Chu Xue thought about it and agreed, but she wasn't familiar with Director Wang, and her cousin was in between: "I'll skip the gift, but I have to side with my cousin, don't you think?"

Wang Minmin nodded and said, "That's true."

Preoccupied with Fu Yanwan's matter, she was somewhat absent-minded all morning. Just before she was about to leave work, she received a call from Fu Yancheng: "How is it? Any problems?"

Fu Yancheng took a deep breath: "This is not a simple matter. Xiao Wan was taken home by my older brother. I will come over to talk to you in person later. I'm just calling to let you know in advance that she is safe and sound, so don't worry."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xue immediately understood that there were other connections involved. Knowing that there were layers of intermediaries, some things were inconvenient to say over the phone: "Okay, I understand."

*
At the Fu family home, Mr. Fu was staring at his youngest daughter with a serious expression: "Xiao Wan, you have really disappointed me." Fu Yanwan now realized that it was true that Grandpa Ren was sick, but it wasn't as serious as they had said. The so-called serious illness was just an act for her.

The only thing that comforted her was that Ren Jiangfeng was unaware of the matter and had been deceived by his family; otherwise, she would have been furious: "Dad, what are you going to do about this?"

As they were talking, Fu's mother rushed back in a flurry, groped her daughter all over, and demanded, "What exactly happened?"

Fu Yanming said with a look of disappointment, "If it weren't for Fourth Sister-in-law's chance encounter with Xiao Wan and the realization that something was wrong, this silly girl would probably still be indulging in self-pity."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yanwan quickly lowered her head, realizing that she had indeed been too naive.

Fu's mother reached out and slapped her eldest son: "Get to the point, what exactly happened?"

Fu Yanming then said, "The fourth brother had someone investigate Ren Jiangfeng before. His character is fine. It can be said that he is a good bamboo shoot from a bad bamboo. However, what we investigated was only the surface. We don't know if he is a good person inside."

Fu's mother was getting anxious: "Hurry up and tell me what's going on."

Fu Yanming sighed heavily: "This was a setup orchestrated by that girl from the Qi family, just to embarrass our Fu family."

Mrs. Fu wasn't stupid; she immediately realized what was going on: "You mean?"
