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

Chapter 198 This is setting rules for the family.
Zhang Shanmei became anxious: "Grandma, those two are quite a lot, each weighing at least seven or eight pounds. My sister-in-law is newly pregnant and probably can't stand the smell of fish. Why don't you let me have them to nourish my body? After all, I'm due to give birth in a few months."

I've heard that eating fish is good for the baby. We're all family, so I'm sure my sister-in-law won't mind. Maybe she'll even send some fish over soon. Once she's past her morning sickness, I promise I won't fight her for the fish.

Grandma Qiu was so angry at these shameless words that she laughed: "You really dare to say anything for a bite to eat."

The words were spoken tactfully, but inwardly they were full of sarcasm: They really have no shame.

Xia Qiu, who overheard the conversation outside, thought that the fish was originally her sister-in-law's idea to bring back for her husband's family. Even though she was unhappy because of her second sister-in-law's words, she still said to Qiu Shaofeng, "Why don't you go out and talk to Grandma? Don't let the fish ruin the harmony. I'm afraid Grandma will get upset."

But Qiu Shaofeng shook his head at her and said, "Don't worry, Grandma knows what she's doing. She's setting rules for the family."

Xia Qiu was taken aback at first, but then she understood. She also knew that if she went out to mediate now, she would be undermining her great-grandmother's reputation: "It's good that you reminded me, otherwise I would have done something wrong with good intentions."

Just then, Old Qiu, who was sitting in the courtyard, spoke up: "Your great-grandmother is right. Without rules, there can be no order. The things that the eldest and second granddaughters-in-law brought back from their parents' homes were not confiscated. The same goes for the things that the third granddaughter-in-law brought from her parents' homes. From now on, you can keep the things that your parents' homes bring yourselves. You don't need to hand them over to the family."

When the second-in-command of the family spoke up, everyone had their own thoughts.

Qiu's eldest granddaughter-in-law, Wang Lihua, didn't show anything on her face, but in her heart she was thinking: "Let Zhang Shanmei be so smug all the time, now she's finally satisfied."

Although it was a bit of a pity that my family couldn't eat fish because of my second brother and sister-in-law's fuss, it was incredibly satisfying to see Zhang Shanmei get the short end of the stick. It was all worth it.

With both heads of the household speaking, the matter was naturally settled.

Mrs. Qiu was overjoyed. After learning of her daughter-in-law's pregnancy a few days ago, she had been thinking about how to nourish her. A few days ago, she even went back to her parents' home and asked her sister-in-law for a small bag of red dates, intending to give them to her daughter-in-law when she returned, so she could chew one every day for some nourishment. She never expected her in-laws to be so generous, not only bringing back a large fish but also a big bundle, presumably also things to nourish her daughter-in-law.

The two people inside the room were stunned when they opened the bundle.

They didn't expect that inside there was not only a can of malted milk powder, but also red dates, brown sugar, milk candy, and peach shortbread, all of which were precious items.

Xia Qiu's eyes immediately reddened: "This, it seems that my younger sister has brought me all the good things that Yan Cheng gave her."

Qiu Shaofeng felt a warmth in his heart. His Qiu family hadn't separated yet, and he didn't even have the money to buy his wife some good food to nourish her. He never expected his sister-in-law to be so selfless, and he was truly grateful.

He thought he would definitely treat his wife's family well in the future, and repay them properly when he was able to.

While they were still in a daze, Qiu's mother walked in. When she saw what was on the table, she almost exclaimed, "These, these are all things you brought back from your in-laws' place?"

Qiu Shaofeng quickly glanced towards the door: "Mom, keep your voice down."

He was afraid that his mother's loud voice would attract his second sister-in-law, which would be incredibly annoying.
