Chapter 1057: Instead, Her Heart Felt Balanced

Seeing Liu Chuxue nod, Fu's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That pair of pillowcases cost twelve yuan, plus an industrial coupon; I heard they are in short supply even at that price."

Hao Yanhong was completely stunned: "Mom, how did you know? That's way too expensive."

Fu's mother glanced at her displeased: "Naturally, I heard it from the guests who attended the wedding that day."

Hao Yanhong wanted to say something else, but Fu Yanwei stopped her with a sharp look.

This move did not escape Liu Chuxue's eyes, and she couldn't help but think to herself: What were you doing earlier? Trying to manage things only after causing trouble is too late.

Fu Yanwei had truly lost face today: "Sister-in-law, I am truly sorry about today's matter; rest assured, I will compensate double for all these items today."

Liu Chuxue liked to settle accounts clearly between brothers: "Since you, Second Brother, have said so, then for the cloth, sugar, and pillowcases, just give me fifty yuan, plus sugar coupons, cloth coupons, and an industrial coupon."

After speaking, she also glanced at the radio Fu Yanwei was holding in his arms: "Since Yan Cheng has already spoken to you about the radio, I will not get involved anymore."

Hearing these words, Hao Yanhong looked at Fu Yanwei: "What does she mean?"

Hearing this question, Fu Yanwei's face immediately darkened: "Naturally, we must provide a new radio for the Fourth Brother's family; are you satisfied now?"

Liu Chuxue would not indulge her: "Since you think I calculated too much, then let's make it sixty; I like that number. I wonder when I can receive the compensation?"

Fu's father, who had been silent until now, said: "Tomorrow, when we divide the family, I will deduct it directly from the Second Branch's share."

After speaking, he looked at Fu Yanwei: "Before, your mother and I made our stance clear; spoken words are like spilled water. Pack your things and rent a place outside; move out tonight."

Fu Yanwei wiped his face: "Mom, Dad, I understand."

He turned to look at Hao Yanhong, who wore a dissatisfied expression: "Now, are you satisfied?"

Hao Yanhong never expected things to turn out this way; she had originally thought that since the cloth was placed at the very bottom, the Fourth Sister-in-law, having just married, would not make clothes immediately, so that cloth would definitely not be needed in the short term, which was why she had entertained the idea.

As for those pillowcases, she had intended to give them to her eldest sister-in-law at her maiden home to make a dowry gift for her younger sister, thinking that in the future, her eldest sister-in-law might remember her kindness, and if anything happened later, her maiden home would not lack someone to speak up for her.

Thinking about having to go out tonight to find a place to live, Hao Yanhong felt her father-in-law was too ruthless: "Mom, Dad, since we are dividing the family tomorrow anyway, why don't we not move out?"

She thought that no matter what, the houses in this courtyard would definitely be divided and a share given to them; once the family was divided tomorrow, wouldn't they have to come back to live here anyway?

Just then, Fu's father said: "Find a house and move out today; if you can't find one, figure it out yourselves. I and your mother have no intention of dividing this courtyard."

Fu's father's words made Hao Yanhong's eyes widen in shock: "The houses won't be divided? That means after the family division tomorrow, we all have to move out and live elsewhere?"

Fu's father hid his thoughts not at all: "Exactly. From now on, you all live outside; your mother and I can also have some peace and quiet."

Hearing that tomorrow, after the family division, everyone would have to move out, Hao Yanhong felt her heart balanced instead.

Since the matter was settled, Fu's father said no more; it was just a matter of enduring one more day.

A short while later, the eldest couple entered the courtyard.

Guo Wenjing was still carrying a large fish in her hand: "Mom, Dad, let's add a meal tonight."

Seeing the fish of considerable size in her eldest daughter-in-law's hand, Fu's mother asked: "Where did it come from?"

Guo Wenjing smiled: "My brother went fishing at Houhai today; we happened to pass by there, so we got a fish for free."

Fu's mother did not object, but she clearly saw that Guo Wenjing was not as happy as before: "Mom, what happened in the family?"
