Chapter 1050: Why Should I Be the One to Go?

Hearing the sound, Mother Fu gave a soft "Mm."

She had naturally heard what her fourth son said earlier and knew that her little Wan must have disturbed the newlywed couple; this was her fourth son trying to drive them out.

Fu Yanwan leaned forward: "Mom, what did you need me for?"

Having heard her son's words, Mother Fu had already prepared her response: "I thought that since it's rare for everyone to gather together, I'd have your third brother accompany you on a trip to the Ren family later to arrange a meeting with Ren Jiangfeng and his aunt. Since you've set your heart on Ren Jiangfeng, we must at least fulfill our duties as hosts. After all, his aunt won't be staying in the Capital City for long, and you need to return to the farm early the day after tomorrow."

Yanwan thought about it and agreed; after her fourth brother and his wife returned to the bride's home tomorrow, they would likely discuss dividing the household in the evening, leaving no time: "Alright, I understand."

Seeing her daughter agree, Mother Fu said: "Go call everyone to eat."

Since there were many people in the family, the adults and children sat separately.

Previously, Father and Mother Fu, the couples from the first, second, and third branches, plus Yanwan and her brother Fu Yan Cheng, made exactly ten adults, while the few little ones sat at the tea table to eat.

Now that Chuxue had married into the family, eleven people felt somewhat cramped; there hadn't been enough stools originally, but Fu Yan Cheng had anticipated this, going to the second-hand market before the wedding to find a stool quite similar to the set they were using.

Just as everyone took their seats, Hao Yanhong began complaining again: "This is too cramped; I can't even stretch out my arms."

At these words, everyone turned to look at her.

Mother Fu, who was just entering with chopsticks, slapped them down on the table with a sharp crack: "If you find it cramped, go sit at the children's table."

Hearing this, Hao Yanhong snapped her head up: "Why should I be the one to go?"

"Since you're the only one who finds it cramped, naturally you should go; if you're not convinced, then get out."

Mother Fu had truly had enough of this second daughter-in-law; if it weren't for the fact that the fourth daughter-in-law had just entered the household and she still needed to maintain decency, she would have laid hands on the second couple and dragged them outside to avoid ruining everyone's appetite.

Fu Yanwei also spoke up immediately: "If you keep causing trouble, get back to your maiden home; are you never going to stop?"

Did he not care about his own face?

Even among brothers, there was comparison; among all the brothers, only his wife stirred up trouble every day, naturally bringing him no honor; previously, he had thought to let his wife make a scene to secure more benefits for their branch.

But now that his parents had announced the division of the household, if he indulged this witless woman in further nonsense, he feared his parents might, in a fit of anger, force them to leave with nothing.

Don't think he hadn't noticed that his parents had been holding back these days solely to avoid affecting the fourth son's wedding; now that the fourth daughter-in-law had entered the home, his parents had no more scruples.

Seeing her husband's face darken, Hao Yanhong dared not act up anymore; if life really drove her out, wouldn't that make her sisters-in-law laugh their teeth off, causing her to lose all face?

Since yesterday's wedding banquet had been held in the factory canteen, there wasn't much leftover anyway, so Mother Fu distributed everything directly to those who had helped.

For breakfast, they had two-grain porridge and a plate of shredded pickles, but today they had specially stir-fried the pickles, adding a few drops of sesame oil just before removing them from the wok, causing everyone to pick up their chopsticks much faster than usual.

However, Chuxue's porridge was different from the others; hers was millet porridge that Mother Fu had specially simmered in a clay pot over a low flame, with brown sugar and red dates added.

It was precisely seeing this that made Hao Yanhong angry.

But Mother Fu would not indulge her; although they had married in the countryside, she had instructed her son to prepare brown sugar and red date porridge for his wife the next day, and she had even specially mailed one jin of red dates and one jin of brown sugar there, making this woman someone who took advantage yet still acted as if wronged.
