Chapter 1010: Every Family Has Its Own Troubles
Fu Yanwei saw his daughter-in-law angry again and couldn't help but frown: "I didn't say I disagreed, but that cotton belongs to the fourth brother. Even if Mom agrees, don't we still have to ask the fourth brother?"
Hao Yanhong, however, said unhappily: "He's just a child; how much cotton does it take to make a quilt? Could Mom not make this decision? Besides, the family hasn't split yet; it's all family property. As long as Mom agrees, is this small matter worth disturbing the fourth brother?"
Fu Yanwei knew that the cotton had been obtained by the fourth brother and his wife through connections: "Say less of that in the future. That cotton wasn't obtained by Mom and Dad..."
Before he could finish, Hao Yanhong looked impatient: "Even if the fourth brother got it through his own connections, as an uncle, how could he not care for his own nephew? I don't believe it. If you ask him for it, he won't give it to you."
Fu Yanwei was now also angry: "You are simply being unreasonable. The fourth brother doesn't owe me anything. The family has been good to us over the years. We only just managed to return to Huicheng. There will be many times in the future when we need our brothers. Can't you show some consideration?"
Hao Yanhong didn't expect that he, who had always yielded to her, would lose control just after returning to Huicheng: "Fu Yanwei, what do you mean by that? Do you want me to suffer in silence from now on?"
"How can you think that? Is that what I meant?"
"I don't care what you mean. Don't think we will let our son and me suffer. If you don't protect us, then let's just not live together anymore."
Fu Yanwei didn't expect that just a few words would make Hao Yanhong say something like "not living together anymore": "Are you serious?"
Hao Yanhong completely ignored his question, didn't tidy up, and went straight to bed to sleep beside her son.
Fu Yanwei took several deep breaths before suppressing the anger in his heart.
Early the next morning, Guo Jingjing, as usual, arrived at the kitchen first and saw her mother-in-law already busy: "Mom, let me do it."
Fu's mother looked outside and didn't see the other two daughters-in-law: "Jingjing, since the factory has allocated housing for Yanming, you should start packing early. You can move out sooner and have more peace."
Guo Jingjing didn't expect her mother-in-law to say this: "Mom, I..."
Fu's mother interrupted her: "You don't need to explain. Mom has been through this and understands."
Guo Jingjing felt warm inside; at least her in-laws were very open-minded.
In fact, if the second sister-in-law hadn't come back to cause trouble, she wouldn't have been so eager to move out.
Although the third sister-in-law had some scheming thoughts, she would still consider her in-laws and the third brother's face; at the very least, she wouldn't be unreasonable. The second sister-in-law didn't care about any of that.
A few days ago, she actually pushed her own son over a few pieces of candy. Fortunately, it was cold and the child was dressed thickly, so nothing happened, but even so, she felt extremely uncomfortable about it.
Fu Yanwei, as the uncle, came over immediately to apologize, but the child wasn't hurt this time. What if he had been? Would an apology have done any good?
She was already exhausted from a full day's work and didn't want to face all the gossip and conflicts with her sisters-in-law every day when she got home. It was better to move out as soon as possible: "Mom, even if we move out, we will still come back often to see you and Dad."
Fu's mother nodded with a smile: "Your father and I have discussed it. From now on, you must come back for dinner every weekend."
As the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, Zhang Yurong also ran in: "Mom, Big Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. I overslept again. What else needs to be done? I'll do it."
As she spoke, she glanced outside: "Where is my second sister-in-law? Did she oversleep like me?"
