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

Chapter 240 You really dare to dream!

In her past life, she was too busy with her career and ended up as an older single woman. She doesn't want to repeat the same mistake in this life. Since Fu Yancheng is her type, getting engaged first isn't out of the question.

She looked at the man seriously: "Have you mentioned me to your family?"

Thinking of the chaos that ensued when he got home this morning, he coughed lightly, feeling a little awkward: "I told you."

With the aid of her mental power, Chu Xue naturally noticed his expression: "What are they thinking? I want to hear the truth."

Seeing Chu Xue's serious expression, Fu Yancheng also became serious: "I don't know what rumors spread beforehand, but when I got home this morning, my mother stopped me and questioned me."

Chu Xue kept her eyes fixed on his expression, waiting for him to continue.

Fu Yancheng hadn't originally planned to hide it: "I went home this morning, and my mom pulled me aside as soon as she saw me and asked if my boyfriend was from the village."

Of course, I didn't hide anything, so I told her about our relationship.

After learning that you were the girl who saved me, she was extremely satisfied. Besides, she hadn't planned to object in the first place. But whoever spread those rumors definitely had ill intentions, so I wanted to finalize things as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications.

Chu Xue was a little puzzled: "The only people who know we're dating are from the village. They couldn't possibly have contacted people from your hometown. Who could have spread the word?"

Fu Yancheng took the basket from her back: "Don't worry, I've already sent someone to investigate. I'll come and let you know as soon as I have any news."

The two went straight to the new house and saw a number of people helping to build a stove in the open space outside the gate, including their brother-in-law.

Xia Qiu saw them return and walked over with a smile: "You're back."

At this moment, the villagers who had helped all looked over: "Little Xue, your basket looks really heavy, what good stuff did you find?"

Chu Xue didn't hide anything: "I found a lot of black fungus, and I'll add it to everyone's dishes tomorrow. I also have a few pheasants and rabbits, so I'll add some meat dishes for everyone. Thank you all for your help during this time."

Hearing that there would be meat to eat, the men who were helping were in high spirits, and their hands moved even faster: "We're really in for a treat! We'll make sure the stove is sturdy and works well." As they were talking, Liu's mother came over with Aunt Wu from the next village who was preparing the feast. Hearing their conversation, she said, "Then you'd better work harder on the stove. I need to use it to boil water and prepare the game this afternoon."

These days, it's not easy for villagers to eat meat. Hearing Aunt Wu's words, the men worked even harder.

Chu Xue led the person into the yard and showed her the contents of the basket: "Auntie, my boyfriend said he's going to catch some more fish this afternoon. Can you think of some dishes we can make?"

Liu's mother led her directly into the kitchen and showed her the available vegetables.

A moment later, Aunt Wu came out: "I see there are quite a few zucchini. Do you have any eggs at home? Let's make zucchini and egg stir-fry. There are also plenty of greens. I'm thinking of making a cold dish with the wood ear mushrooms in the basket."

I checked what vegetables we have: "Stewed chicken with green beans, stewed rabbit with baby eggplants, and then I'll make stewed fish with tofu. That should be about six dishes."

The menu was settled, and for this day and age, it was quite good.

Another vegetable soup and a steamed bun made with three kinds of flour, that's all.

After giving a few instructions, Aunt Wu said to Liu's mother, "Your second daughter said there are still fish left. I'll come over this afternoon to process them together. I'll head back now."

After seeing the people off, Xia Qiu came over and whispered to Chu Xue, "Chu Xue, I heard everything from Mom. You prepared all those things yourself. Thank you so much, sister. You have no idea how much face those melons made my mother-in-law look good."

My brother-in-law's marriage was arranged immediately. The formal proposal was yesterday, and the wedding date is set for the sixteenth of next month.

Seeing that no one was around, she lowered her voice and said, "My great-grandmother said that the family will separate after my brother-in-law Shao Cheng gets married and returns to his parents' home."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xue asked, "Is it the eldest and second wives who are separating, or are all the smaller families separating as well?"

Xia Qiu raised her hand and poked Chu Xue's forehead: "What are you dreaming about? I'm already very satisfied that the first and second wives can separate. You really dare to dream."
