Chapter 1012: Doesn't That Count as Killing the Whole Boat with One Pole?

~4 min read 701 words

Fu's mother took the water, gulped it down directly, glanced outside, and said in a low voice: "Next, the family will be busy with Yan Cheng's wedding. If I hadn't made a scene, the second daughter-in-law alone would put on a show every day, let alone the third daughter-in-law who fans the flames."

After speaking, she even gave a "Hmph!" and said: "These words are naturally also for your few wooden-headed sons to hear."

Fu's father looked helpless: "Doesn't that count as killing the whole boat with one pole?"

Fu's mother rolled her eyes at him: "I don't believe you can't see the second and third sons' hidden motives. Before, when the second son was in the countryside, even if he had many thoughts, he was far away. Now that he has returned to Huicheng, it would be strange if he were honest. As for the third son, he looks humble and polite, but actually has many schemes, and always hides behind his wife."

"If I hadn't made a scene like this, who knows how lively this house would be before Yan Cheng's wedding?"

"Before, when the third daughter-in-law played little tricks, it was because the eldest daughter-in-law didn't hold it against her. Plus, since Jin Yi's health was poor back then, I just turned a blind eye, thinking at worst I would lend a hand."

"Now that the second daughter-in-law is back, it won't do to be like before. It's not right to let the eldest daughter-in-law keep suffering losses."

Fu's father teased: "Are you standing up for the eldest daughter-in-law?"

Fu's mother did not deny it: "Wen Jing doesn't hold grudges because she is sensible and doesn't want to make things difficult for us, but we can't just pretend not to see."

Fu's father nodded: "You did right. I support you."

So at breakfast, Fu's mother repeated her earlier words in front of everyone, so no one could claim to have forgotten or anything like that.

While speaking, she deliberately swept her gaze over the second and third daughters-in-law's faces.

How dared they come out and provoke bad luck at this moment? Both smiled and agreed repeatedly.

Only Guo Wenjing showed no expression on her face, but felt extremely comfortable inside.

After eating, Fu Yanming hurriedly went to the factory. After showing his face at the office, he ran to the finance department.

Liu Chuxue had just returned with a kettle of water: "Big Brother, why are you here?"

Although Fu Yanming felt a bit embarrassed, the matter of the house was urgent. He lowered his voice and said: "Previously, Deputy Director Jiang promised two rooms, but I haven't gotten the keys yet."

Upon hearing this, Liu Chuxue naturally understood: "Wait a moment. I'll put the thermos back first, then I'll go with you."

After greeting Sister Hong, she went to the logistics department with Fu Yanming.

As soon as Deputy Director Jiang saw them enter, he smiled and came over: "You've come at just the right time."

Hearing these words, Fu Yanming knew the matter was settled.

He pulled them aside, and Deputy Director Jiang said in a low voice: "Wait a moment. I'll go get the keys."

A short while later, he came out with the keys, holding a registration book in his hand: "Come, Engineer Fu, sign here, and the keys will be yours."

Fu Yanming's excited heart was about to jump out of his chest.

After signing and taking the keys, he thanked him repeatedly.

Deputy Director Jiang looked around, then lowered his voice slightly: "You know how tight the housing allocation is in the factory now. I won't hide it from you. Being able to allocate an extra room to you is indeed due to Liu Chuxue's face. If you want to thank someone, thank Liu Chuxue."

Liu Chuxue knew Sister Jiang was helping her, so she just smiled and said nothing else.

Fu Yanming naturally made a series of promises and expressions of gratitude before leaving with the keys, fully satisfied.

Liu Chuxue did not leave with him. Seeing Fu Yanming walk far away, she then said: "Won't this cause trouble for Sister? After all, so many people are waiting for housing allocation?"
