Chapter 1135: Do You Think I Can't Support the Family?

Because she had Liu Chuxue with her, Aunt Jiao's harvest tonight was quite good.

The bucket she brought was filled long ago.

Seeing there was still time, after Aunt Jiao sent Liu Chuxue and the seafood back, she asked her daughter-in-law to help arrange rest for Liu Chuxue, while she herself took the empty bucket and went out again.

Aunt Jiao's daughter-in-law originally had her own courtyard, but since Liu Chuxue was here tonight, she brought the mother and son back to live here; Aunt Zhou was also very considerate.

Since people had children to care for, after being brought into the room, they exchanged a few simple pleasantries and were then sent back to their room to look after the child.

She went to the kitchen to draw water, returned to the room, closed the door tightly, and went straight into the space; disregarding the state of the miniature sea within the space, she first took a bath.

Only after changing clothes did she come over to the miniature sea.

What surprised her was that the kelp she had previously stored, along with some coralline algae she had collected by the way, had automatically attached themselves to the rocks she had stored; she had thought she would have to do it herself, but now she had saved herself the trouble.

The sea area of this place is located at the junction of salt and fresh water at the mouth of the Pearl River, where seafood is very abundant; she could name yellow-head fish, anchovies, silver pomfret, and large yellow croaker.

Among them, the yellow-head fish and the hairtail are unique major economic fish species of the Pearl River estuary area, the silver pomfret is a precious economic fish, and the large yellow croaker is a migratory fish school; not to mention there are many fish she does not recognize inside, which made Liu Chuxue happy while she frantically swallowed her saliva, for various ways of cooking the fish were already forming in her mind.

And there were many types of shrimp and crabs, as well as oysters, scallops, octopus, and cuttlefish; the collection was quite complete.

She did not dare to linger in the space; she carried the basin of water out, poured it into the vegetable plot in the courtyard, said hello to Aunt Jiao's daughter-in-law in the neighboring room, and then went into the house.

Exhausted after a day's work, Liu Chuxue did nothing else and went straight to bed to sleep.

She had thought that having collected so many fish would make her too excited to sleep, but in the end, the fatigue in her body was too much to resist; she did not even hear when Aunt Jiao returned.

What she did not know was that the Fu family in the capital city was on the verge of a fierce quarrel.

The reason was nothing else but that Fu's father had brought Engineer Jiao's entire family home some time ago.

Hao Yanhong had been renting a house outside this month and had to cook for herself; over this period, the money in her hands had been decreasing day by day.

Fu Yanwei's wages were simply not enough for Hao Yanhong's expenses; upon learning that the Eunuch had let a family of strangers move into the Fu family, she completely exploded: "Mom, Dad, is Yanwei not your biological son, or is Jinze not your biological grandson? You drove your son and grandson out, yet let these strangers move in; how can your hearts be so cruel?"

"Do you know what kind of life our family of three has been living these days? I didn't even dare to buy a meal of meat, and Jinze has lost several jin in weight; look at what you, as grandparents, have done?"

Originally, Fu's mother also felt that they, as elders, were indeed somewhat guilty in this matter, but she did not expect Hao Yanhong to blame them for the grandson losing weight: "You are all married now; do you want us to support you until when? I raised my son; does that mean the grandson has also become my and your father's responsibility? Then what is the point of you doing anything?"

Fu Yanwei, who had chased over upon receiving the news, heard the commotion as soon as he entered the courtyard: "Hao Yanhong, what did you mean by those words just now? Do you think I cannot support the family, cannot keep you alive?"

Hao Yanhong did not expect Fu Yanwei to come; seeing his expression, she was somewhat frightened: "No, no, Yanwei, I didn't mean that."
