Chapter 1076: You Brothers Are Truly in Tune
Just as everyone rose to disperse, Yanhong spoke up again: "Mom, Dad, the things in the kitchen haven't been divided yet?"
Fu's mother frowned slightly: "We won't divide the kitchen items. With the thousand yuan settling-in fee, what can't you buy? If we divide the household goods, and you come back to eat during festivals, do you expect you'll have to bring your own bowls?"
Hao Yanhong was left with no face to show, yet she still muttered quietly: "Other things are one thing, but buying a wok requires industrial coupons; you make it sound so easy."
Hearing this, Fu's mother wasn't angry: "That was my oversight; I thought the unit issued them every month..."
She didn't finish her sentence, went back into the room, and brought out a small bundle: "I still have some coupons here; you families divide them up."
Guo Wenjing spoke first: "Mom, Dad, we don't need them. Before, Yanming applied for housing from the unit, and we've almost finished packing up. Let the three of them divide these coupons."
At this, Fu Yan Cheng also spoke up: "I've saved quite a lot; it's enough for us to buy things for daily life. Let Second Brother and Third Brother use them."
At this, Fu Yan Hong walked over with a smile: "Yurong and I have also saved some, but I'm afraid it's not enough to buy everything we need. I was just thinking of borrowing a few from colleagues. Since Mom and Dad have some here, just give me a few, and let Second Brother have the rest."
Upon hearing this, Hao Yanhong's face immediately lit up with joy: "These are things you don't want; it's not that we're forcing ourselves to snatch them."
Fu Yan Hong only picked out a few industrial coupons and didn't ask for anything else.
Hao Yanhong reached out and took the small cloth bundle: "Thank you, Mom and Dad."
This call of "Mom and Dad" was more sincere than ever before, but Fu Yan Wei beside her was not in such a good mood.
Eldest Brother and Fourth Brother yielded to him and Third Brother, yet Third Brother only took the industrial coupons he lacked. It seemed his own family had gained an advantage, but this precisely indicated that among the four brothers, his own family had the worst conditions.
He couldn't help but take a deep breath, striving to calm his heart: Never mind, this is simply the truth. The path I took was my own choice; I can't blame anyone else.
Thinking of the past seven years, when Mom and Dad unfailingly subsidized ten yuan every month, his face suddenly burned terribly.
She looked at Hao Yanhong beside her, who was beaming with joy, and for the first time doubted her own judgment in her heart. How had she insisted on being so headstrong back then, chasing him to the countryside with her life on the line? Looking at the current situation now, a bitter smile hung on her lips.
Thinking of the gap between herself and her brothers-in-law, she couldn't help but silently clench her fists.
Seeing that it was getting late, Fu's eldest uncle and his wife did not stay any longer.
Fu Yan Cheng handed the money in his hand to Liu Chuxue: "You go back to your room first; I'll see Eldest Uncle and Eldest Aunt off."
Fu Yan Ming was also saying the same thing to Guo Wenjing; the two brothers stopped simultaneously and exchanged a glance.
They heard Fu's eldest uncle, Fu Zhixing, say: "You brothers are truly in tune with each other, but there's no need to see us off. With me following, what could possibly happen?"
Fu Yan Cheng and Fu Yan Ming didn't care what their own uncle said; they followed him out.
Fu's father said with a smile: "It's the children's sincere intention, Eldest Brother. Just let them be. Otherwise, with it being so late, I truly wouldn't feel at ease."
Fu's eldest aunt, unusually, didn't say any cold words today: "They are all responsible, good children."
Hearing this, Fu's mother also felt a wave of comfort in her heart; this was the first time her sister-in-law hadn't said anything unpleasant to upset her: "Eldest Sister, be careful on your way."
The couple had come by bicycle; after all, the old man's assigned car belonged to the state, and without any special reason, the old man did not allow them to use it.
