Chapter 800: All Stunned

Hearing this, the people in the room grew even more curious: "What do you mean?"

Qiu Shaofeng took a few sips of water, then continued: "My father-in-law's maternal grandmother's family must be no ordinary household. I heard the house the Liu family's son is living in now was given to them by my father-in-law's maternal grandmother. Since they're impostors, the house naturally has to be returned to my father-in-law.

And his wife's job was also taken over from my father-in-law's maternal grandmother. They still have to compensate half of all the wages after taking over this job, plus a one-time compensation of six years' full wages after retirement — only then is the matter settled."

The few people in the room were all stunned: "Oh my, that would be quite a sum to pay back."

Then they heard Qiu Shaofeng continue right away: "My father-in-law will be reporting to the train station in the city in a few days. From now on he'll be a man with an iron rice bowl too."

Several voices spoke at once: "Really?"

Qiu Shaofeng's face was full of smugness — after all, he had spotted those heads poking beneath the window outside.

After he married Xia Qiu and brought her home, because the dowry she brought with her wasn't much, the people in the main branch had mocked him plenty, saying he'd found himself a fallen household, and they hadn't spared Xia Qiu either with their barbs.

It was only after his sister-in-law Chuxue got a job in the city that they reined themselves in somewhat. Now he wanted to let them know that Xia Qiu's status was nothing like before — let's see if they still dared to needle his wife every now and then.

At this moment Zhang Shanmei, who had been listening outside for half the story, suddenly hopped to the doorway: "Shaofeng, didn't Xia Qiu's biological grandfather say he'd help you find a job in the city?"

Qiu Shao shot back toward the doorway: "City jobs are one radish one hole — you think jobs are cabbages?"

Qiu Tai Nai glanced at her foolish-looking grandson, never expecting this lad to be a fool with fool's luck — who knows, he might really get pulled up by his in-laws in the future.

Only what they hadn't expected was that this chance would come very soon.

Fu Yan Cheng finished the work in his hands, stretched lazily, then pushed all the documents in front of Kong Yizhang: "That's enough, this case is pretty much wrapped up. The follow-up work after this is yours."

"It hasn't been closed yet — are you trying to drop the load?"

"What, you want me, the one who's just assisting, to be the main force?"

The two of them went back and forth trading quips when they heard a knock at the door from outside.

Kong Yizhang tidied the documents on the desk: "Come in."

The one who came in was none other than Company Commander Su Haiqing, who had shared a hospital room with Fu Yan Cheng before: "Deputy Battalion Commander, something's come up at the army. Division Commander Zheng sent me to come pick you up."

Kong Yizhang looked at Fu Yan Cheng, smiling as he raised a finger to point at him: "You knew about this in advance?"

Fu Yan Cheng stood up with a smile: "That's right, I'm heading off now. Everything after this is yours."

After Kong Yizhang saw the man off to the car, he turned and went back to the office.

And Fu Yan Cheng in the car, seeing the smile that had been hanging on Su Haiqing's lips the whole time: "What's the good news, kid? Out with it."

Company Commander Su drove as he laughed: "That obvious?"

Fu Yan Cheng shot him a sidelong glance: "The corners of your mouth are almost pulled back to your ears. You tell me if it's obvious."

Company Commander Su scratched his head a little sheepishly: "There really is a happy event."

Fu Yan Cheng suddenly tossed out a line: "Don't tell me you've hit a peach blossom luck — you've got a sweetheart?"

Company Commander Su looked utterly amazed: "Deputy Battalion Commander, you're really a god — you can even guess that."

"I really guessed right?"

Company Commander Su's face was all mischief as he said: "That's right, I've got a sweetheart."
