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

Chapter 271 It seems this matter is not simple.

After getting on the bus, Fu Yancheng and Guo Dajiang sat directly at the very back.

Yu Chunmei originally wanted to go with them, but after thinking about what her aunt had said—that women shouldn't be too proactive—she gave up the idea.

The military base wasn't far from the city, so the vehicle arrived at its location quickly.

After saying goodbye to Guo Dajiang, Fu Yancheng hurried towards the sugar factory.

His mother, Ms. Geng Ruzhi, works at the sugar factory's union; he called her before he came.

The old man at the gate recognized Fu Yancheng: "Oh, Comrade Fu, you've come to see Director Geng, haven't you?"

"Yes."

"Then let's go in quickly."

Director Geng's fourth son is a soldier, so he couldn't be more at ease.

Mrs. Fu had already prepared meals for two and was waiting in the office. After glancing at her watch, she stood up and walked to the window.

I could see my son walking towards me from afar.

Of the four sons, the youngest was the tallest and the most resolute. He looked dashing in his green military uniform and was the center of attention wherever he went.

Fu Yancheng quickly went upstairs.

Seeing that the office door was open, I was about to knock.

Then they heard Madam Fu's voice: "Come in quickly."

He pointed to the washbasin stand not far away and said, "Wash your hands and eat. Let's talk while we eat, so as not to delay your business."

Fu Yancheng walked over with a smile: "What happened that made me come all this way?"

As she opened the lunchbox, Fu's mother replied, "It's important that I brought you back." Fu Yancheng wiped his hands and sat down. Without standing on ceremony with his mother, he picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of braised eggplant, and put it in his mother's bowl: "Eat first."

Knowing that her son had a big appetite, Mrs. Fu specially prepared two lunchboxes of rice, got up, picked up her own lunchbox, and scooped half of the rice into her son's lunchbox.

Fu Yancheng didn't refuse, after all, he knew his family's appetite and knew that she had specially filled the table extra: "Mom, what's the matter?"

Fu's mother recounted what had happened in the family compound: "I feel there's something fishy about this. Even I, as your mother, only know the basics about your relationship, but others know more about it than we do. It's impossible to say there's nothing fishy going on here."

Fu Yancheng stopped eating: "Is that so?"

"Yes, the first rumor was that your partner was from the countryside. I didn't take it seriously at the time, I just thought that maybe I just happened to hear the news and someone wanted to laugh at our family."

But only a short time has passed, and now there's news that your girlfriend's family doesn't have a son. I feel like this is implying something, probably that someone doesn't want her to marry into our family. But I'm not entirely sure, after all, how could a village girl like her possibly offend someone with such powerful connections?

Fu Yancheng was only slightly stunned for a moment, then ate while thinking about this information: "According to what you said, Mom, this person's intention is to make our family, no, to be precise, to make you and Dad dislike my partner, so as to achieve your intention of rejecting this marriage."

But like you said, who would go to such lengths and resort to such underhanded tactics? It seems this matter is not simple.

Madam Fu nodded: "So if you've decided on that girl, you can't hide anything from her. Who knows, she might know who did it."

Fu Yancheng nodded and said, "I understand. After I finish these few days, I'll go over there and talk to her about it, and see if we can find the person responsible."

After emptying the rice from the lunchbox and putting it down, he looked at his mother seriously and said, "Mom, what you're saying is true, but I've made up my mind about her and I don't care about these things. Even if her parents can't have a son in the future, it doesn't mean she can't have one. Besides, she's my child. Sons and daughters are the same. I'm not the kind of person who favors boys over girls."

Fu's mother knew that her son was saying this to her.

She chuckled softly, "I've been through it all, so I know the hardships women face. Don't worry, Mom won't object to your relationship because of this. But keep this in mind and find out who's behind this as soon as possible to avoid causing you any more trouble."

A cold glint flashed in Fu Yancheng's eyes: "Mom, I understand. Don't worry, I will find out who is behind this as soon as possible."

Seeing that it was getting late, he said, "Mom, I have to go."
