Chapter 1071: This Return Gift Must Have Been Prepared by Grandfather for the Eldest Brother's Wife

Fu Yanwan was nothing like Hao Yanhong, whose vision was so shallow; after all, the heavier the return gift from the fourth sister-in-law's natal family, the more they valued their daughter, so she could only be happy for the fourth sister-in-law: "Thanks to the fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law, we are in for a treat; later, please convey our thanks to your in-laws, uncle and aunt."

After all, besides the meat, the fourth brother was carrying other things in his hand.

Seeing her sister-in-law and younger sister-in-law interacting while treating her as if she were invisible, Hao Yanhong's face turned very ugly; in anger, she turned and went back to her own room.

The two sisters-in-law exchanged a glance, and smiles curled at the corners of their mouths: "Xiao Wan, take the meat to the kitchen first; I'll go back to my room to change clothes and then come over. Today, let everyone taste my cooking skills."

Since marrying in these past few days, Fu's mother hadn't let her touch anything in the kitchen, and she wasn't the type to rush forward eagerly.

But tonight, there was something important happening in the family; she didn't want to stir up trouble again. Besides, eating early meant discussing matters early, and dividing the household early meant freedom early. Showing off her skills before the division was just right to shut the gossips' mouths, saving her from having to deal with accusations later that she hadn't cooked a single meal for her parents-in-law in the three days since she married in.

Fu Yan Cheng placed the two pieces of woolen fabric he was carrying on the table; just as he was about to say something, Liu Chuxue came out with the clothes she needed to change into: "This return gift must have been prepared by Grandfather for the eldest brother's wife."

After speaking, she pulled the curtain she had prepared in advance onto the nail on the wardrobe and rustled about while changing her clothes.

She had barely stepped out when Fu Yan Cheng pulled her into his arms: "Which part of your body haven't I seen? Changing clothes still requires you to avoid me?"

Liu Chuxue tilted her head back and gave a light bite to his chin: "Aren't you afraid someone might come in and expose me? Speaking such shameless words in broad daylight."

Fu Yan Cheng was greatly stimulated by that light bite; a certain place instantly reacted.

Fearing he might scare Liu Chuxue, he forced back his impulse, resting his chin on her shoulder and neck, his voice rough as it emerged from his mouth: "Xue'er, I really don't want to part with you; come with me to the army, okay?"

His marriage leave was ending; he had to rush back to his unit late tomorrow afternoon. Smelling the fragrance on the little woman, he couldn't help swallowing; thinking that the others at home would be returning soon, he finally suppressed the desire in his heart.

Liu Chuxue simply looked up at him: "I heard that on the family compound side, family members are lining up waiting for job assignments; I think it's better for me to go over once there is news about work. Don't worry; anyway, it's not too far, and I'll come over to accompany you on weekends."

Having heard the first half, Fu Yan Cheng's heart had cooled by half, but he hadn't expected a twist at the end: "These are your words."

"Of course; we just got married, and naturally I don't want to part with you either. So what can be done? We can only endure some hardship."

Fu Yan Cheng kissed Liu Chuxue on the forehead: "When I have leave, I'll come back."

Liu Chuxue was about to say something else when she heard her younger sister-in-law's voice from outside the door: "Fourth sister-in-law, I'm going out to buy a piece of tofu; is there anything you need me to bring?"

Liu Chuxue quickly straightened her body: "Go ahead; I don't need anything brought."

Seeing her about to walk out, Fu Yan Cheng followed her out: "I'll go with you."

It was only a few steps to the door, yet he still reached out and held Liu Chuxue's hand.

Liu Chuxue turned her head and glared at him: "Behave yourself."

Fu Yan Cheng wore a smug expression: "We are a legal couple who have registered our marriage; what's wrong with holding hands?"

Yet, though he said that, as soon as he stepped out and saw the eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law entering from the main gate, he immediately used his body to block their joined hands; this little move made Liu Chuxue laugh out loud: "Some progress."

After speaking, she pulled her hand out: "Eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, why have you both returned together?"
