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

Chapter 642 You just casually came to the rescue of the damsel in distress.

Unable to understand, Chu Xue leaned close to Fu Yancheng's ear and whispered, "What's wrong with him?"

Fu Yancheng knew what she was thinking without asking, and explained in a low voice: "Instructor Guo's wife died in childbirth two years ago, along with her unborn child. At the time, he was on a mission in another city. When he returned, he didn't even get to see his wife one last time, which made him feel very guilty and remorseful."

So for the past two years, he sent part of his salary back to his parents in his hometown and part to his mother-in-law's family, while being very frugal with himself.

While they were talking, Dr. Zhao had already moved to the bed near the door: "Your injury is recovering quite well. We'll do a full check-up tomorrow. If there are no problems, you can be discharged and go home to recuperate. Come back for a follow-up check-up in a week. If there are no problems, you can rejoin the team."

Upon hearing this, Company Commander Su laughed: "That's great! It's a good opportunity to go home and marry a wife."

Guo Dajiang, who was in the middle bed, heard this and said, "When did you find a wife? You've kept it a secret pretty well."

Company Commander Su scratched his head and chuckled, "My grandma said I'm lucky even though I'm a fool. I happened to be on a mission near my hometown, so I went back home for a bit, and just then, my fiancé's family came to cause trouble at my house."

Before he could finish speaking, Guo Dajiang interjected, "So you just happened to play the hero and save the damsel in distress?"

Company Commander Su chuckled sheepishly, "Pretty much."

After completing the examination, Dr. Zhao left with his entourage.

Instructor Guo, however, was somewhat curious about Company Commander Su's marriage.

Seeing their curiosity, Company Commander Su began to explain: "My fiancé was originally engaged to a family, but just a few days after they set their wedding date, the man had an accident on the mountain and couldn't be saved."

The family believed the rumors and thought my wife was the cause of the trouble, so they brought their relatives and went to her house to cause a scene.

I happened to run into her on my way home, so I helped her out of the predicament. That's why my father-in-law insisted on inviting me into his house for a chat. Now everyone understood. After a few interactions, he and the girl hit it off.

Company Commander Su sat up: "I submitted my marriage application a while ago, and it should have been approved by now. I can go back and marry her to save myself from gossip."

Guo Dajiang laughed and said, "Your wife is not a jinx to her husband. In my opinion, she is a lucky wife. With your merits this time, you should be promoted. You can join the army after the wedding."

Company Commander Su laughed when he heard this. The official promotion notice hadn't come down yet, but he knew it was a done deal, and he felt like he had struck gold.

Fu Yancheng shared the same sentiment as Company Commander Su. With his accumulated merits over the past few times, his name should be on the list of those to be promoted this time. However, he naturally wouldn't say anything that was uncertain.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chu Xue asked Xiao Guo to stay and take care of Fu Yancheng while she went out for a while.

There was a village not far from the medical team's hospital, and we headed straight there after leaving the hospital.

As soon as she entered the village, the aunties and grandmas at the village intelligence station stopped her: "Young lady, who are you? What brings you to the village?"

Another elderly woman said, "She looks unfamiliar; she probably hasn't been to the village before."

Chu Xue smiled and pointed towards the military base: "Aunties and grandmas, I'm from the military. Someone in my family is injured and hospitalized. I was thinking of going to the village to trade for a chicken to stew and help them recover."

Upon hearing that they were there to exchange things, the aunties and grandmothers got all excited.

An elderly woman pushed her way forward and said, "Young lady, do you have any cloth coupons? If so, I'll trade with you."
