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

Chapter 195 This is truly a slap in the face.
Meanwhile, Xia Qiu and Qiu Shaofeng rode in a jeep into the North Suburb Farm.

Jeeps were a rare sight these days, and their farm only had a few delivery trucks. The arrival of a Jeep caused quite a stir.

When the car stopped in front of the Qiu family's house, a number of people followed behind: "Why did you stop in front of Old Qiu's house? I've never heard of him having any wealthy relatives."

The Qiu family members were having dinner in the courtyard when they heard the commotion and came out.

When they saw Qiu Shaofeng helping Xia Qiu out of the car, the Qiu family members' eyes widened in surprise.

Qiu's mother, who is also Xia Qiu's grandmother, quickly ran forward: "Shaofeng, why did you come back in a jeep?"

As soon as Qiu's mother said this, everyone perked up their ears.

Once Xia Qiu's feet touched the ground, Qiu Shaofeng explained with a smile, "This is my sister-in-law's boyfriend, Fu Yancheng. He went to deliver the windows for my in-laws' new house today. My sister-in-law was worried about Xia Qiu's health, so she asked Yancheng to give us a ride."

He had always addressed him as Comrade Fu, but along the way, Fu Yancheng said that from now on they would be family, and that calling him Comrade Fu was too formal. He told the couple to call him Yancheng from now on.

Not only the Qiu family was in an uproar upon hearing this, but the neighbors who had gathered around also started gossiping: "My God, Xia Qiu's sister-in-law is amazing! She actually got a boyfriend who drives a car."

"If this really works out, let's see who dares to say that Xia Qiu's family has no one to back her up. Look, who has the same influence as her family?"

"Now let's see if Zhang Shanmei dares to bully Shaofeng's wife again."

"How do you say this?"

"The second daughter-in-law of the eldest son's family is a lazy and cunning woman. She always tries to push her work onto others. She makes Xia Qiu do a lot of her work." The voice was loud enough for the Qiu family to hear.

Standing in the middle, Grandma Qiu heard everything clearly. Her face immediately darkened, and she turned to glare fiercely at her daughter-in-law: "Did you know about this too?"

Aunt Qiu looked embarrassed: "Mom, isn't it because Shanmei is pregnant?"

When Grandma Qiu heard this, she said, "Xia Qiu is pregnant now, so don't push the work onto her anymore. You see, her sister is no ordinary person. Now she's found such a capable boyfriend. All of you, shut up."

Grandma Qiu is a shrewd woman. Today, the other party had their partner drive their sister and brother-in-law home. It wasn't just because they cared about their sister; it was probably a way to put pressure on the Qiu family. This was a case of politeness first, then force.

It was a warning to them that Xia Qiu wasn't without support; that girl was clearly not someone to be trifled with.

At this moment, Fu Yancheng took two large fish down from the small basket behind him: "Sister, brother-in-law, these are your fish."

Wow, the crowd immediately erupted in uproar: "Xia Qiu's family is treating her way too well! Before, Shao Hu's wife said how poor Xia Qiu's family was and that they favored boys over girls. This is a real slap in the face."

That person already had a grudge against Zhang Shanmei, the second daughter-in-law of the Qiu family's eldest son, so he didn't lower his voice at all.

Grandma Qiu, who was about to step forward to greet Fu Yancheng, turned pale with anger upon hearing this. She hurriedly looked at Fu Yancheng's expression, fearing that he would tell the Liu family what he had said.

Qiu Shaohu, the second son of the eldest branch of the Qiu family, naturally heard these words as well. He glared at his wife and said, "Can't you just shut up for once? Can't you control your mouth? What business is it of yours what happens to your sister-in-law's family?"
