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

Chapter 640 Which Side Are You On?

Geng Shuangling is a sucker for good looks and has a great fondness for her fourth cousin-in-law, who is known for her attractive appearance.

She had such a sweet tongue, calling her "sister-in-law" over and over again.

Fu Yancheng has witnessed Chu Xue's journey from initial discomfort to forced acceptance, and now to positive acceptance.

The smile on his lips never faded.

Geng Shuangling leaned close to Chu Xue: "Fourth Cousin-in-law, I heard you work in the finance department of the steel rolling mill. I really envy you. I wonder if I can find a job after graduating from high school?"

Suddenly, she leaned closer to Chuxue and said, "My mom said that if I really can't find another job, she'll give up her job for me."

Chu Xue smiled at her and said, "Your mom is so good to you."

Upon hearing this, Geng Shuangling pouted: "It's supposed to be a good thing, but my sisters-in-law are all eyeing my mother's job. If it were given to me, the family would probably be in turmoil."

Chu Xue didn't know how to respond, and sighed inwardly: Every family really has its own troubles.

Just then, Fu's mother returned from the doctor's office: "I asked, and Dr. Zhao said that as long as the wound stops festering and shows signs of scabbing, I can be discharged and go home to recuperate."

After saying that, she looked at Fu's mother and asked, "Chu Xue, how long can you stay here?"

Chu Xue said directly, "I still have one more day off tomorrow, and I'll leave the military hospital no later than the morning after tomorrow."

Yes, she had already found out that there was a shuttle bus to the city at six in the morning, so she could definitely catch up with the bus to get back to work at the factory.

She and Fu Yancheng are not married yet, so it's impossible for her to take on the entire responsibility of taking care of him; doing so would only make the Fu family look down on her.

But now that they're engaged, and they're going to get married and live together, she won't ignore him even when she has a day off.

Besides, with the help of the spatial pool water, his body will definitely not have any aftereffects. Even if she is not here to take care of him later, his body will recover much faster than usual.

Her absence wouldn't arouse suspicion. Madam Fu wasn't an unreasonable person; she had indeed been too busy these past few days, and it wasn't realistic to have someone else come and take care of her, but it definitely wouldn't work to have Chu Xue here indefinitely: "Alright, I'll go back and take care of my work tomorrow, and come over early the day after tomorrow. You can leave when it's time."

After the matter was settled, Fu's mother saw her niece and said, "I'm going to the restroom. We'll leave in a bit."

Geng Shuangling nodded: "Okay."

Watching her aunt leave, she glanced at her fourth cousin, then leaned close to Chuxue's ear and asked, "Fourth cousin's wife, how did you fall for your fourth cousin who never smiles?"

Chu Xue looked at her amusedly, and was about to answer when she heard Fu Yancheng say, "You little girl, what bad things are you saying about me now?"

Geng Shuangling was surprised to be discovered by her fourth cousin, so she quickly waved her hand at him and winked at Chu Xue: "No, no, don't wrong me."

Chu Xue burst out laughing at her clumsy yet sarcastic attitude.

She turned to look at Fu Yancheng: "What are you doing? You scared her."

Fu Yancheng, contrary to his usual self, asked with a hint of coquetry, "Whose side are you on anyway?"

Chu Xue thought he was a bit childish, but still found it amusing and said, "Of course I'm on your side."

Fu Yancheng patted the side of his bed: "Stay away from her, so she doesn't say anything irrelevant and affect our relationship?"

Geng Shuangling was surprised that her fourth cousin was like this in front of his fourth cousin's wife. She clicked her tongue in amazement and couldn't help but give Chu Xue a thumbs up.

Chu Xue had a good impression of her cousin Fu Yancheng: "Come visit me sometime."

Knowing that she would be marrying Fu Yancheng in a few months, she felt it was necessary to get to know everyone in the Fu family. It wasn't appropriate to ask others, and she was also afraid that Fu Yancheng's words might be one-sided. She thought it would be more suitable to ask Geng Shuangling.
