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

Chapter 205 is really too much.
Mr. Fu overheard their conversation between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

After his daughter-in-law left, Fu's father came over and said, "Ruzhi, I heard everything you said. When your second son comes back, be careful. We didn't force him to go to the countryside. He went there because he was chasing after Hao Yanhong. The family doesn't owe them anything. If you continue like this, your other daughters-in-law will have something to say."

Besides, the fish was given to Yancheng by his girlfriend, and Yancheng even said he wanted to eat preserved fish next time he came back. How are you going to explain this to him?

Mother Fu sighed: "Yanwei said that life in the countryside is too hard and he doesn't want his wife and children to suffer anymore. He wanted to smooth things over, and I didn't agree just because I was soft-hearted."

Mr. Fu was speechless for a long time after hearing this. He also felt sorry for his grandson, but in the city, everyone was in a position, and it wasn't so easy to get things done.

The old man had previously declared that no one was allowed to use his name to conduct business outside. If he found out, they would not be surprised if he severed ties with them: "When he went to the countryside, his family gave him 100 yuan to take with him and also subsidized him 10 yuan a month. It's been seven years, and none of his brothers and sisters have complained. But he comes back every now and then to raid the place, which is going too far."

Now that he's married, he can't keep ignoring us like this, and we can't pretend we didn't see it.

Mother Fu nodded: "I know."

Then Mr. Fu spoke up again: "No matter how we tried to persuade him, he wouldn't listen. Going to the countryside was his choice. When he married Hao Yanhong, the dowry we gave was the same as that of the eldest and third sons' families. The family has not wronged him, and you don't have to always accommodate him."

"Besides, it would be best if he could return to the city on his own, but if he tries to use the old man's connections, don't blame me for turning against him."

After saying that, he went out to exercise.

After her father-in-law left, Zhang Yurong, who had been hiding to the side, finally came out: "Mom, I'll make breakfast. You go wash up first." No wonder her father-in-law was able to become the deputy director of the bearing factory; he was fair in his dealings. It's not that her mother-in-law was bad, but she was too soft-hearted. With just a few kind words from her second brother-in-law, she gave away more than ten pounds of fish and meat.

She had heard her husband say that when they, the twin brothers, graduated from high school at the same time, they could have stayed in the city, since the trend of sending educated youth to the countryside had just begun. However, her second brother argued with their parents for the girl he liked and went to the countryside after her.

But every time my second brother and sister-in-law come back these past few years, they complain that they are the most pitiful. But what does that have to do with the family?
Just you wait and see. If my second sister-in-law really is pregnant, she'll probably come back to bring things back often. This house will be so lively!

She was busy chopping vegetables when her sister-in-law, Guo Wenjing, came in and asked, "Is there anything else you haven't done?"

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves.

But when he looked up, he was stunned: "Third sister-in-law, where are the dried fish that were hanging?"

Although Zhang Yurong didn't want to cause trouble, since her sister-in-law had asked, she didn't need to dodge the question: "Mom said that my second brother came home yesterday, and that my second sister-in-law is pregnant. She also said that she sent some things to my younger sister."

Guo Wenjing's face darkened: "We each have to give ten yuan a month to the family for living expenses, and the children have to give five yuan a month after they turn five. We hand it in on time every month. But my second brother, isn't the ten yuan a month that the family gives him enough? Why does he always plunder the place every time he comes home? It's one thing for us adults, but has he ever thought about his nephews and nieces?"
That's absolutely outrageous!

Zhang Yurong thought to herself: Fortunately, her own Jin Yi is only two years old and doesn't need to pay money to the family. It's perfectly normal for her sister-in-law's family, with two adults and two children, to feel uncomfortable about having to pay thirty yuan to the family.
