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

Chapter 526 Since we've put in the effort, we should naturally address it openly.
At this moment, Zhang Shanmei, who was already holding the child, came over and said, "Chuxue, your factory must have given out a lot of good stuff, right?"

Chu Xue nodded politely to her: "It's alright, the amount is about the same every year."

Zhang Shanmei said with a fawning expression, "It's still better to go to the city and be a worker. If there's a good opportunity, don't forget to help us out. We're all legitimate relatives."

It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned that. Hearing her words, Chu Xue looked directly at Aunt Qiu and said, "By the way, Aunt Qiu, your sister brought her husband and sister-in-law to the factory a few days ago to ask me to help inquire about her brother-in-law. Could you please pass on a message to her and ask her to come to the factory to see me? I want to talk to her about it in detail."

Aunt Qiu clearly knew about this, and upon hearing Chu Xue's words, her expression became somewhat unnatural: "I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Chu Xue thought to herself, "If you were really afraid of causing me trouble, you wouldn't have let your sister come to my factory." She continued, "It seems that I have to help you out of respect for my sister. But I can only help you find out some information. If he really broke the law, then I definitely can't help him."

Aunt Qiu naturally understood what she meant. Although she wasn't entirely satisfied, she knew that this was a favor that had gone through several roundabout ways: "It's already very kind of you to help inquire. I'll thank you on behalf of my sister."

Since Fu Yancheng has already asked on her behalf, it's natural that Aunt Qiu should know so that if any member of her eldest branch of the family has a conflict with her sister, she'll at least have to think twice.

Seeing Qiu Shaofeng walk over, Fu Yancheng handed him the basket, saying, "This was sent over by my aunt to help my sister recover."

Qiu Shaofeng looked embarrassed and said, "You've really gone to a lot of trouble."

He knew that most of the things here were probably obtained by his sister-in-law and future brother-in-law, and his wife had benefited a lot from it: "Come in and sit for a while."

Chu Xue thought about asking her sister about her situation privately, so she nodded in agreement.

After Qiu's parents invited them into the house, they had their youngest daughter, Qiu Shaomei, bring in two cups of brown sugar water. After Qiu Shaomei left, Fu Yancheng also made an excuse to take Qiu Shaofeng out of the hospital, leaving the two sisters some space to talk privately.

Chu Xue looked at them as they left and asked, "Sis, you're almost six months pregnant, haven't you seen a doctor for a prenatal checkup?"

Xia Qiu looked down at her belly and stroked it, saying, "Ever since the first trimester, the baby has been behaving well, and I haven't had any discomfort, so I don't need to go for a checkup."

Chu Xue said with some concern, "We're almost seven months along, so we should go get checked out to put our minds at ease."

Xia Qiu was someone who listened to advice, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll discuss it with your brother-in-law."

After the two sisters chatted for a few more minutes, Chuxue opened the tarpaulin on the basket: "Last time Yancheng brought some beef home, and Mom added mushrooms to make a sauce. I brought some over for you. It's perfect for satisfying your cravings when you're feeling bland. You can dip it in steamed buns or mix it with noodles."

Upon hearing her sister's words, Xia Qiu's mouth immediately watered. She rubbed her belly and said, "This little one is so lucky. She's benefiting from your good fortune. I'll have to tell her about it when I'm able to take good care of you two."

Chu Xue smiled and replied, "Then I'll be waiting."

As she spoke, she pointed to a few items in the basket: "These things will get colder every day from now on, so you can store them for a while. Keep them safe and don't let them scatter."

He then pointed to the melons and tomatoes inside: "These are only for this year, the vines are almost up, and even if they bear fruit, they won't amount to much."

Seeing the fruit and mooncakes in the basket, she said, "These were given to me by my factory. Mom shared some with you."
