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

Chapter 915 Visiting the Fu Family

The wedding was simple. Xiao Wanli originally planned to have three tables, but since Uncle Xiao and his wife felt that since they had come and the child would be living in the village in the future, they added five more tables and invited the heads of various households in the village. They brought some food with them, and the rest were exchanged with villagers the next morning.

Each table was guaranteed three meat dishes. Although there wasn't much meat in each dish, it was still a meal with some meat. In addition, each table also received a side of stir-fried cucumber, soybeans, and eggs, which could also be considered a meat dish. Everyone enjoyed the meal.

Because the Chinese New Year is just around the corner, Uncle Xiao and his family need to take the evening train back to Beijing.

After the meal, Aunt Xiao pulled Guo Yan'er into the house: "Yan'er, take these red envelopes and this gift money. I've written a gift list for you. You can have Wanli explain it to you in detail later."

After handing over the items, he continued, "These are gifts from close relatives and families with whom you have a good relationship. Because of the tight schedule, you didn't go back to hold a banquet, so we didn't notify anyone else. When you go back next time, we'll set up a few tables in the courtyard as a family reunion banquet for you."

Guo Yan'er was deeply moved that her in-laws did not look down on her past and were so kind to her: "Mom, once the wedding date for my fourth brother is set, please write to us in advance so we can ask for leave to go back."

Uncle Xiao nodded: "Okay."

Around 3 PM, Xiao Wanli rented a mule cart from the village to take his parents to catch a ride.

Guo Yan'er originally wanted to go, but her mother-in-law stopped her: "It's so cold, you shouldn't go and suffer like that. Besides, you just had a wedding banquet, and you can't leave the house unattended."

The words were spoken in a very veiled way, but Guo Yan'er understood them.

She knew her mother-in-law was worried about the baby in her belly and also afraid that since they had just gotten married, there would be no one at home and someone would steal from them. After all, one can never be too careful, and there are always thieves and petty criminals everywhere.

Xiao Wanli was also worried about Guo Yan'er's health: "You've been busy for several days, you must be tired. You should rest at home, I'll clean up when I get back."

Guo Yan'er watched the mule cart drive away until it was out of sight before returning to her courtyard. Meanwhile, after receiving her factory benefits, Chu Xue went to the Fu family home with Fu Yancheng that evening.

After she followed Fu Yancheng into the courtyard, Fu's mother came out to greet her: "Chuxue, you've arrived. Come in and sit down."

Chu Xue pointed to what Fu Yancheng was carrying: "Auntie, I went on a business trip to Inner Mongolia a few days ago and brought back some local specialties. I hope you like them."

Mrs. Fu smiled and took her hand: "Oh, thank you so much for remembering us. I'm happy to receive such a kind gesture. How could I not like it?"

At this moment, Hao Yanhong came out leaning on her cane: "Oh, this must be Fourth Brother's fiancée?"

Hao Yanhong was surprised that her fourth brother's girlfriend was so beautiful. Her fair skin made her look nothing like a country girl. Her eyes were filled with jealousy.

Fu Yancheng introduced, "Xue'er, this is my second sister-in-law, Hao Yanhong. She and my second brother were both sent-down youth in the countryside. She accidentally injured her leg and was afraid of developing sequelae, so she came back to the city to treat it."

Chu Xue nodded to Hao Yanhong: "Hello, Second Sister-in-law."

Hao Yanhong was about to say something when Fu Yancheng glanced at Fu Yanwei behind her.

Fu Yanwei quickly said, "It's terribly cold outside, Fourth Sister-in-law, please come inside first."

After saying that, he tugged at his wife's clothes: "Have you forgotten what Mom said? You better keep a low profile tonight. Didn't you see how protective Yancheng is? Don't mess with him."
