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

Chapter 870 You've really won her heart
The two chatted for a while longer, then Fu Yancheng, worried that Chuxue might get cold, said, "Alright, we've finished talking. You should go up now, or you'll get cold."

Then, remembering something, she said, "Oh, right, I asked Kong Yizhang to get a truckload of coal briquettes. He'll have someone deliver them to our house in half a day. Remember to tell your aunt and uncle."

Chu Xue asked in surprise, "Why did you think of getting coal briquettes for my family?"

Fu Yancheng laughed and said, "Although the houses in that area were converted to have central heating, it's still not very warm inside during the coldest days. My aunt is pregnant and can't stand the cold. Besides, your room is on the side, and I'm worried you'll get cold. So I thought I'd prepare some things in advance so I wouldn't be caught off guard."

Chu Xue was moved once again: "Fu Yancheng, thank you."

She actually wanted to hug him and give him a kiss, but the timing wasn't right, so she could only offer verbal praise: "Thank you for your trouble. Here's a reward for you, I'll remember it and give it to you later. Good job, keep up the good work."

As she spoke, she gave him a look that only he could understand.

Fu Yancheng's eyes were full of smiles: "Alright, then I'll be waiting."

Fu Yancheng genuinely felt sorry for Chu Xue and didn't dare to continue talking to her: "Alright, go upstairs now, I should go too. I'll come see you again when I have time."

After saying that, she handed over the oranges she was holding: "I just saw that the supply and marketing cooperative had some in stock, so I bought some."

Although she had previously grown an orange tree in her space using orange seeds, it was not yet ripe, so she didn't stand on ceremony with Fu Yancheng: "It just so happens that my mother has been craving oranges these days, you've really hit the nail on the head."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yancheng said, "Then I'll find someone to get some more and send them over later."

Chu Xue quickly waved her hand: "No, no, no, this is a rare treat, you don't expect her to eat it as a meal."

Fu Yancheng laughed and said, "It's rare to find something Auntie likes to eat, so I have to make a good impression."

These words amused Chu Xue: "You really know how to talk." Fu Yancheng, however, stopped laughing: "I'm serious."

No sooner had these words been spoken than a gust of wind blew by, making Chu Xue shiver.

Fu Yancheng stopped talking after seeing this: "Alright, you can go up now, I'm leaving too."

Chu Xue did feel a bit cold: "Then I'll go up."

Fu Yancheng watched the person enter the office building before turning and leaving.

Thinking about what Chu Xue had just said, I figured I should find someone to get more oranges for my future mother-in-law.

Meanwhile, Qi Shufang, who was far away in the south, received a call from her mother: "What did you say? How is this possible?"

She thought about how she had spent so much money to finally succeed in her plan, and how it had been discovered before it even had a chance to spread. Moreover, judging from her mother's words, the Fu family had already taken care of things.

Then why did you scrimp and save, spending so much money on things? "Mom, does Grandpa know about this too?"

Qi's mother didn't hide anything and quickly told her daughter what had happened: "Shufang, what did I tell you when I left? I told you not to cause any trouble. I told you that once your grandfather calmed down, I would try to persuade him to let you go back to Beijing. I would rent a small courtyard for you in the suburbs and come to accompany you during your pregnancy. Why couldn't you listen to me?"

Qi Shufang sensed something was wrong from her mother's tone: "Mom, tell me the truth, what is Grandpa's attitude towards this matter?"

After asking the question, her heart suddenly raced, fearing that her mother would say something she didn't want to hear.
