Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

People like Chen Ming were all city officials, they held plum positions for city dwellers, and for the Wanglou Brigade, they were people of great status and power. When they attended the wedding banquet, they were seated at the top table. Accompanying them were Wang Zhengguo and two other respected elders of the Lu Family—all were treated with the utmost respect.

The toast was first made to them.

Chen Ming chuckled heartily and said, "Ajiang, sister-in-law, now that you’re married, live well. Sister-in-law, remember these words of mine. After Ajiang recovers from his injury, he will surely return to the army. You, staying back at home managing the household, taking care of the family, shouldering the heavy responsibilities—should you encounter any difficulties in life, do not hesitate to reach out to me and your sister-in-law. As long as we can help, there won’t be a word of refusal from us!"

Feng Qingxue raised her filled wine cup with both hands, "Thank you, Brother Chen, also extend my gratitude to sister-in-law when you get back. You and Ajiang share a bond as close as life itself, if our family ever encounters a problem that we can’t solve, we won’t hold back from asking for your and sister-in-law’s help!"

Chen Ming raised his own cup of wine, finished it in one gulp, showing the bottom of the cup. Applause and cheers erupted from the crowd.

Thanks to the flour Cheng An received from Feng Qingxue last year, he had managed to make connections with several leaders, which had significantly elevated his standing in the city. He was immensely grateful to Feng Qingxue’s generosity and was aware that once Lu Jiang recovered from his injuries, he would make further progress. To maintain good relations with their family would certainly be advantageous. So, smiling at the newlyweds who had come to toast, he said, "There’s no point in speaking politely, I do have some say in the city. One day, I’ll keep an eye on the recruitment news of various factories and units and get your sister-in-law a quota to consume some state-distributed grain!"

As these words were spoken, it sent a shockwave through the room, causing everyone to view Cheng An in a new light.
