Chapter 1256 Look at his smug face, he just deserves a beating.

The return journey was much more lively.

Although there were no soft beds available, considering that Chuxue was pregnant, a sleeper berth was still arranged for her.

They even thoughtfully arranged for Fu Yancheng to have a separate room for her, so that Fu Yancheng could take care of his wife at all times.

Before boarding the bus, the team leader from the University of International Business and Economics told Chu Xue that the higher-ups were very satisfied with her as the accompanying translator, and that she would receive a bonus. They also asked her if she would like to work at the University of International Business and Economics.

Considering her own situation, Chu Xue politely declined.

Unexpectedly, the team leader smiled and said, "The leader said that our foreign trade and economic cooperation doors are always open to you. If you change your mind one day, you are welcome to join us."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yancheng's two comrades-in-arms whispered to him, "Commander Fu, your wife is so outstanding, it's truly enviable. You'd better keep a close eye on her."

Fu Yancheng glanced at the speaker and said, "You can't envy how outstanding my wife is. As for whether you think we're a good match, my wife only has eyes for me and can't tolerate anyone else."

Upon hearing this, one of his comrades said, "Hey, look at how smug he is, he just deserves a beating."

"Wu Ying, when we get back to the unit, let's make him hate us. Then we'll take him down in a war of attrition. I don't believe we can't take him down."

"That's a good idea. Let's see how cocky he gets now."

When the group arrived in Beijing, Chu Xue did not return to the military base with Fu Yancheng because she had to help Xia Qiu with her onboarding.

Fu Yancheng was worried about her, so he sent her to the Xiao family first before returning to his team: "Wife, call me when you've finished, and I'll ask for leave to pick you up. Take care of yourself."

Hearing her say that, Chu Xue laughed and pushed him out the door: "How old am I? Are you treating me like a child?"

After seeing Fu Yancheng off, Xia Qiu looked at Chu Xue and smiled, "My brother-in-law is so good to you."

Chu Xue smiled and looked at Xia Qiu: "Your brother-in-law is good to you too."

Thinking of Qiu Shaofeng, Xia Qiu smiled and said, "Although he can't compare to my brother-in-law, I'm still content."

Seeing her like this, she asked, "What did your brother-in-law do that you seem quite satisfied with?"

Xia Qiu glanced at her mother's room before whispering, "You don't know, when my mother-in-law mentioned that I came to pick you up for the job, all sorts of things were said in the village. Some said I should give the job to Shao Feng, and others came to our house with money, wanting to buy the job. Anyway, the house was quite lively those few days."

Seeing her sister's expression, Chu Xue asked, "And then?"

Xia Qiu coughed lightly: "Fortunately, my mother-in-law is still quite clear-headed. She scolded those people away, and your brother-in-law directly said that no one should even think about this job, including him."

Afterwards, I asked him if he had ever been interested in the job, and he said never. He added that he was very happy that it would free me from farm work in the countryside, and that he would work hard at home to earn more work points so he could deliver vegetables and grains to us in the city whenever he had time.

At this point, Xia Qiu's eyes suddenly reddened, and her voice choked with emotion: "It's a good thing it was him. You don't know, there was a family in the village before. The wife's family found her a job, but her husband's family was afraid that they wouldn't be able to control her in the future, so they forced her to give the job to her sister-in-law."

Chu Xue frowned slightly: "Would her family agree?"

Xia Qiu sighed softly, "She's afraid of being beaten. Of course, her family doesn't want to, but what can they do? Their daughter is so useless. Whenever the topic of work comes up, she always sides with her husband's family. After a few times, her family just gave up on her."
