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

Chapter 523 Having survived this ordeal, I will surely repay you tenfold.

The four members of the Kang family ate steamed buns in the dark. Except for Kang Jinze, the little boy, who ate with relish, the others had mixed feelings.

The elderly couple never imagined they would need help from others, nor did they ever expect to suffer such a calamity.

The daughter-in-law even lost her life because of this calamity, and if it weren't for her young grandson being so young, the son would almost have gone with her.

After the incident, most of the families who had previously been on good terms with them chose to distance themselves from them, and they had to accept reality after suffering various setbacks.

They had a long-standing friendship with the Kong family, and Kong Yizhang had always had a very close relationship with his son. They were already extremely grateful that he dared to risk helping them at this time. However, Fu Yancheng was only acquainted with his son, yet he was still willing to lend a helping hand at this time, which was truly commendable.

Of course, they also knew that Fu Yancheng was helping them because of Kong Yizhang, but this also showed a person's character. Therefore, as long as the Kang family survived this calamity, they would definitely repay this kindness tenfold.

After they had eaten about 70% of their fill, Kang Yuanwei, dragging his still-healing leg, secretly slipped out the door.

Meanwhile, Chu Xue watched Fu Yancheng return to his room before closing her eyes and falling asleep.

Before dawn the next day, Mr. and Mrs. Liu got up and started preparing.

When Chuxue woke up, Liu's mother had already packed everything she had brought for them: "Xue, take one of these two baskets, and Yancheng take the other."

Then she pointed to the two willow baskets next to her: "Didn't you say last night that you were going to visit your eldest sister? Give her the bigger basket and take the smaller one to your sister-in-law." Fu Yancheng happened to come in and heard this, and felt warm inside: "Auntie, let it go this time. You don't need to prepare anything for her in the future, so as not to spoil her. We send her money and packages every month, so we won't mistreat her."

Chu Xue naturally understood what he meant and said, "Mom, I haven't married into the family yet. Although Yan Wan and I get along very well, there's no need to prepare for her every time. If people with ulterior motives find out, they might spread rumors that I'm already trying to curry favor with my sister-in-law before I'm even married into the family."

When Liu's parents heard this, and saw that Fu Yancheng agreed, they nodded in agreement as well: "We didn't mean anything by it, we just wanted to take better care of her since she was all alone in the countryside."

Chu Xue smiled and patted her mother's hand: "I understand, I understand. My sister-in-law is not the kind of person who would wrong herself. Besides, I have my sister. Don't worry."

Even if she liked her sister-in-law very much, she didn't want her parents to work hard for someone else, and besides, her brother was there for them.

After breakfast, Fu Yancheng carried all the things to the car. Chu Xue thought that with each autumn rain comes a chill, so she took advantage of the time to work with Liu's father to smear a layer of yellow mud on Zhui Feng's doghouse.

Chu Xue washed her hands and left only after Fu Yancheng had finished tidying up.

They lived at the end of the village, and even though they left early, many people still saw them: "The son-in-law of the Shanliang family is really down-to-earth; he doesn't look down on us from the countryside."

Peng Ailan came out to take out the trash and overheard this conversation. She immediately chimed in, "She's not even married yet, and she's already living at her in-laws' house. Isn't that because she was seduced?"

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone subconsciously moved away from her. It was obvious that she was just being a sour grapes, thinking that everyone was her daughter.
Besides, seeing that Chuxue is about to marry into the city, and marry so well, only someone with a brain full of water would cooperate with her to offend people.
