Chapter 1056: Don't Think We'll Be Your Gullible Fools

Fu Yanwei looked at her expression: "You didn't actually go through Fourth Brother and the others' rooms, did you?"

Hao Yanhong's face, originally deathly pale, instantly flushed red: "I didn't mean to go through their rooms. I saw their quilts were thick, so I just happened to touch them, then I wanted to see my sister-in-law's clothes in the cabinet, and before I knew it, I had looked through everything."

Let alone others being stunned speechless, even Fu Yanwei was so angry he laughed at her words: "That excuse is truly fresh; I have to admire it."

Liu Chuxue's face was cold: "I suppose my sister-in-law knows where that piece of cloth in my cabinet is, doesn't she?"

Hao Yanhong coughed lightly: "Fourth Sister-in-law, here's the situation. A friend of mine has a younger sister getting married next month, and she wants to find some brighter cloth to make a set of clothes. I thought since you two are already married and have so many new clothes, you wouldn't need that cloth urgently, so I thought I might as well lend it to my friend for the emergency."

"This matter, I, your sister-in-law, was wrong. I shouldn't have made the decision on your behalf unilaterally while you were away."

Liu Chuxue laughed outright: "Do you want to hear what you just said?"

Fu Yanwei's face and neck turned red with anger, and he roared: "Where is the cloth?"

Hao Yanhong's body trembled: "I just said..."

But before she could finish, Fu Yanwei cut her off directly: "Hao Yanhong, you had better think carefully before you answer."

Hao Yanhong dared not look at Fu Yanwei; she could feel he was truly angry now: "Um, Yanwei, I, um, I didn't mean to, um..."

Fu Yanwei had no patience left, his face full of irritation: "Don't think you can bluff your way out of this. If you don't speak up now, we'll wait until the Public Security Bureau arrives to talk."

Hao Yanhong no longer hid the truth: "That cloth was sent back to my maiden home. But I wasn't lying; it's true that my eldest sister-in-law's younger sister is getting married in a few days and wants to make a set of brighter clothes to save face. When I went over last time, my eldest sister-in-law even mentioned this to me. I, I, I..."

Fu Father, who had been listening to the whole thing, spoke up: "Liu Chuxue, besides the cloth and the sugar, was anything else stolen?"

Liu Chuxue answered directly: "I mentioned the bankbook and the money earlier just to bluff; I didn't expect the bluff to actually work. Besides the cloth and the sugar, a pair of pillowcases were also stolen. They were part of my wedding gift that my younger sister-in-law specially asked someone to bring back from Haicheng."

Hao Yanhong's face turned as red as a monkey's butt: "Um, um, I just thought they looked nice, thinking I'd take a look and then return them to you."

Fu Yanwei truly hadn't expected her to be so bold: "Where are the things?"

Hao Yanhong pointed toward their room: "They're in the room."

Fu Yanwei was nearly felled by anger: "Go get them for your sister-in-law right now!"

But Liu Chuxue refused: "Second Brother, don't blame me for being petty. Things stolen by others make me feel uncomfortable to use; just convert them to cash for me."

Hao Yanhong, who had just come out, heard these words: "I just took a look. Don't be too unreasonable. Besides, you want us to convert them to cash? Do you even know the price of those things? Don't think we'll be your gullible fools."

Liu Chuxue ignored her completely and walked straight toward the living room: "Father, I need to use the telephone."

Fu Mother immediately understood what she intended to do and quickly stepped forward: "Liu Chuxue, aren't you going to ask your younger sister-in-law?"

Liu Chuxue didn't hide it: "Yes."

Fu Mother quickly spoke up to stop her: "Liu Chuxue, your second sister-in-law did indeed go too far today. Whatever compensation you want from them, Mother has no objection. You don't need to make the call. I know how much those pillowcases cost. Just do it for Mother's sake and don't make a scene outside."

Liu Chuxue naturally had to grant this favor.
