Chapter 1058: What, Did Dad Really Say That?

Fu's mother didn't answer directly; instead, she said, "I'll go find a bucket to draw some water and put this fish in it first."

As soon as Fu's mother left, Zhang Yurong, who had been hiding inside the room, came over: "Sister-in-law, today the family put on quite a show. I never expected Second Sister-in-law to dare steal something."

Guo Wenjing frowned and asked, "Who stole something?"

Zhang Yurong looked delighted at others' misfortune and said, "I don't know what Second Sister-in-law was thinking. She originally wanted to annoy the newly arrived Fourth Sister-in-law, but ended up being counterattacked by Fourth Brother and his wife."

"What are you talking about? Can you tell me from the beginning what happened?"

"Second Sister-in-law secretly went into Fourth Brother and his wife's room and moved out their dowry radio without asking."

Guo Wenjing knew that the children in the family liked listening to storytelling, and usually, well-behaved children from neighboring households would come over to listen together. Mother-in-law thought this wasn't a bad thing, so on nice days, she would move the radio to the table outside for them.

She never expected that Second Sister-in-law would secretly move Fourth Brother and his wife's radio today: "Is she sick?"

"Exactly, and that's not all."

"What else?"

"At first, moving Fourth Brother's radio out for the children to listen to was probably just to annoy Fourth Sister-in-law, hoping she would suffer in silence. If she dared to get angry and upset the children, she would leave a bad impression in the neighbors' minds. But Fourth Sister-in-law directly unleashed a big move: she claimed the savings book and one hundred yuan were missing from the room and threatened to call the police."

She said that on purpose, just to trick Second Sister-in-law into revealing what else she had done.

Unexpectedly, Second Sister-in-law really couldn't hold back. After only a few exchanges, she collapsed and confessed outright. She even admitted to stealing their cloth and pillowcases. How dare she do that?"

"Then what did Mom and Dad say?"

"Our Eunuch directly ordered them to move out today."

Thinking of what the Eunuch had said earlier, Zhang Yurong's expression darkened: "Sister-in-law, it's all Second Sister-in-law's fault. Since she came back, there's been no peace. The Eunuch probably can't stand all this chaos day after day. Just now, he said that after the family split, everyone must move out. I'm so worried."

"What? Did Dad really say that?"

"Yes. You two are fine anyway; you applied for housing through your work unit, so you can just move. But our factory has no quota now, and the Bearing Factory probably won't work either. If we move out, won't that mean an extra expense every month?"

"Mom and Dad might just be speaking out of anger."

"I wish that were true, but the Eunuch has always been a man of his word. It will be hard to get him to take back what he said."

Guo Wenjing glanced toward the main house: "Housing is tight in all the factories now. Dad wouldn't really make you move out, would he?"

Zhang Yurong looked worried and said, "Let's hope so."

After speaking, she shot a glare toward the Second House: "It's all Second Sister-in-law's fault. Isn't this just looking for trouble when there's none?"

Inside the main house: "Husband, was what you just said true? Tomorrow we split the family, and you really want them to move out and live elsewhere?"

Fu's father poured himself a glass of water before speaking slowly: "Could I say I was just blinded by anger?"

"But since the words are already out, let's do as I said. I also want to see how they react and how they will handle it, and let them truly feel the hardships of life."

Hearing this, Fu's mother couldn't help but frown: "If they all move out, our house will have empty rooms. Are you sure nothing bad will happen?"
