Chapter 1007: This is truly a small knife cutting the buttocks, opening one's eyes

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were speaking happily when a spoiling voice came in: "Mom, eldest sister-in-law, what are you looking at?"

Fu's mother heard that voice and felt annoyed; she now regretted letting her husband bring the second son back to Huicheng from the countryside: "Didn't you go back to your maiden home? Why didn't you leave food for you and your mother?"

Hao Yanhong's face flashed with embarrassment: "In these times, grain is rationed. If Jinze and I ate, then they would have to go hungry."

But as soon as she said this, Guo Wenjing, the eldest sister-in-law, simply could not bear to listen: "Younger sister-in-law is truly filial, but have you thought that your family's grain ration is not currently at home?"

Hao Yanhong coughed lightly: "My Yanwei went down to the countryside today to handle the transfer of relations; it is only a matter of a few days. Mom and Dad surely wouldn't watch our family of three go hungry. Besides, my Yanwei went down to the countryside for the sake of the whole family; even if he has no merit, he must have some hard work to show for it, right?"

Zhang Yurong had just entered the courtyard when she heard the second sister-in-law's voice coming from the fourth room; but as soon as she heard what she said, the anger she had received at her workplace found an outlet: "Second sister-in-law, can you have some shame? If we are to speak of the main culprit who made Second Brother suffer in the countryside, isn't it you?"

Now you dare to turn the tables and blame others; you are truly something.

Mom and Dad don't hold it against you, yet you act up; this is truly a small knife cutting the buttocks, opening one's eyes.

Hao Yanhong did not expect that before her own mother-in-law had said anything, the eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law dared to bombard her in turn: "Whether I am here or not, someone from the Fu family must go down to the countryside; this is policy. If my Yanwei did not go, another brother would have to go. Regardless of whether he went to follow me or went for the Fu family, did he not solve a problem for the Fu family?"

Zhang Yurong did not expect this dramatic second sister-in-law to have grown a brain today, speaking in such a coherent manner: "The logic is sound, but over these years the family has not wronged you, so there is no need to always bring up that Second Brother going down to the countryside was for the sake of the family."

Fu's mother saw the group quiet down and said with a cold face: "Be quiet before Yan Cheng gets married. Whoever stirs up trouble again, get out and rent a room."

Hao Yanhong's face was full of grievance; feeling that everyone in the family was targeting her, she turned and pulled her son into the room.

Fu Jinze saw his mother was unhappy and did not dare to make a fuss despite being hungry: "Mom, when can we eat?"

Hao Yanhong heard this and used it as an excuse to shout: "Didn't you hear your eldest uncle's wife say there is no supply grain for us? Isn't it because your father has no ability, making you and me suffer scorn?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Wenjing was so angry her face turned iron-green: "Mom, listen to what the second younger sister-in-law said. Fortunately you were present just now; otherwise, I truly would have been unable to clear my name even if I jumped into the Yellow River."

Before long, all the men in the family returned; as soon as they entered the courtyard, they felt the atmosphere was wrong. Without asking, they knew a quarrel had likely broken out again. Since the second daughter-in-law returned, this had already happened several times.

Fu Yanming entered the room and saw his wife organizing things in the cabinet: "It is not yet the changing of seasons; why are you messing with these?"

Guo Wenjing's speech carried a nasal tone: "Did you ask the logistics department about the housing today?"

Fu Yanming leaned close to his wife: "What is wrong? Did you argue with someone today?"

Guo Wenjing then recounted the events that had happened previously. Fu Yanming's face also looked unpleasant upon hearing it: "Rest assured, that Deputy Director Jiang and the fourth sister-in-law are comrades who have shared life and death. She has spoken, and this matter is definitely no problem. If you are not at ease, I will go to the factory tomorrow and make a trip to strive to get the keys earlier."
