Chapter 1046: Bullied Right Into Their Own Home, Yet Still Not Allowed to Fight Back

Everyone in the courtyard changed expression; if this turned out to be exactly as Hao Yanhong claimed, the matter would blow up into a huge scandal.

Regardless of whether the second daughter-in-law started the trouble, once people knew, the fourth couple would surely not escape blame; would they still care about their reputation then?

Guo Jingwen looked at Liu Chuxue with a worried face: "Fourth sister-in-law."

Liu Chuxue crossed her arms and sneered: "Half a month ago when I came to deliver things, you specifically asked me to run an errand and buy half a jin of brown sugar; at the time your excuse was that your period had come and your stomach hurt so much you couldn't stand, and you told me you'd return the sugar coupon and the money later; second sister-in-law, you wouldn't have forgotten that so quickly, would you?"

Hao Yanhong panicked and blurted out: "You're lying; when did I ever ask you to buy brown sugar?"

But just as her words fell, Fu Jincheng from the eldest branch spoke up in a clear, bright voice: "Second aunt, you're lying; the other day you did ask Fourth aunt to buy brown sugar for you; I heard it all; you even said you had no coupons on hand and would wait until Second uncle returned to get the coupons and repay Fourth aunt together."

Hao Yanhong glared viciously at Fu Jincheng: "What benefit did your Fourth aunt give you that you'd help him like this?"

Fu Jincheng grew anxious: "I didn't get anything; I just saw it; after Fourth aunt left, you even cursed and called someone an idiot."

Now not only did Hao Yanhong's face change, but even Fu Yanwei wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into; it was simply too shameful.

With this interruption, Hao Yanhong stopped crying about her stomach hurting.

Fu's mother said with a look of frustration at her son's stubbornness: "You keep using your stomach as an excuse every single time; you really are something; there's no need to wait for Liu Chuxue and the others to return from her natal home; I say we divide the household today."

Now Fu Yanwei's face looked even worse: "Mom, didn't we agree to wait until Fourth sister-in-law returns from her natal home before dividing the household? If you divide it today, the neighbors won't stop talking; by then the whole family won't be able to hold their heads up."

Fu's mother retorted sharply: "So you know it's shameful now; I thought you two couldn't even wait these few days."

Fu Yanwei, seeing his own mother truly go ahead and divide the household today without caring, looked at Fu Yan Cheng in a plea for help: "Fourth brother, say something, will you?"

Fu Yan Cheng, though knowing Liu Chuxue didn't care what others said, did not want her to be pointed at, even by well-meaning people: "Mom and Dad, Liu Chuxue and I have matters today; let's wait to divide the household until after she returns from her natal home."

Fu's mother then remembered that the fourth son had said yesterday that he and his daughter-in-law would go register their marriage today.

She slapped her own forehead; she had truly been confused by anger over the second couple: "Since the fourth couple has proper business today, then we'll wait until they return from her natal home to divide; second son, today's matter was your wife's own doing; since you two started the trouble, then when dividing the household, deduct fifty yuan from the money you receive and give it to Liu Chuxue as an apology."

Hao Yanhong, hearing there would still be compensation, cried out: "Mom, you're too biased; even if I did wrong, today it was us as a couple who got beaten; how can we still be made to compensate Fourth sister-in-law?"

Fu's mother was too lazy to waste time with her and stared straight at Fu Yanwei: "Second son, what do you say?"

Though reluctant, his mother's gaze was too terrifying: "I have no objection."

Only then did Fu's mother's face look a bit better: "As long as you have no objection, that's fine; I don't care what schemes you have; for these few days, you must all endure."

Zhang Yurong, who was the last to walk out of the room, leaned over to Guo Jingwen: "Eldest sister-in-law, this fourth sister-in-law is far too violent; she actually kicked someone out of the house with a single kick?"

Guo Jingwen glanced at her sideways: "When they've been bullied right into their own home, aren't they allowed to fight back?"
