Chapter 1136: Explain What? Waiting for You to Lie to Me?

Fu Yanwei knew his father had brought people back for a reason, and he didn't want the neighbors to laugh or let his father lose face in front of the family they had moved in with: "If you have anything to say, wait until we get back. Don't make me get physical with you."

The warning in those words was heavy. Seeing how off Hao Yanhong looked, she dared not cause more trouble, and so it ended in an anticlimactic fashion.

After the two returned to their rented house, Fu Yanwei slapped Hao Yanhong hard: "Hao Yanhong, we haven't seen a scrap of meat in the house these days. I haven't said a word against you, but can we really not afford meat?"

Hao Yanhong swallowed hard in fear: "N-no, Yanwei, listen to my explanation."

Fu Yanwei said with a dark face: "Explain what? Are you waiting to lie to me?"

"Yanwei, I didn't."

"You didn't? Then where did the family's money go?"

Hearing this, Hao Yanhong panicked terribly: "Yanwei, I was just thinking there are many expenses ahead, so I wanted to save wherever I could. I put all that money away."

Fu Yanwei laughed outright: "Hao Yanhong, you think I'll believe you? Let me tell you, from now on I'll only give you living expenses each month. You won't touch anything else."

Hao Yanhong froze: "Yanwei, what do you mean by that?"

Fu Yanwei's expression turned cold: "Exactly what it says. If you think you can't go on, we can part ways amicably."

These words made Hao Yanhong furious; her earlier guilt vanished into thin air: "Fu Yanwei, what do you mean by that? You want to kick me out? I bore you Jinze. Do you have no conscience?"

"Conscience? Haven't I treated you well all these years? The money in your hands was really saved? Do you think I'm an idiot?"

Before, when the family had helped out, he had no objection to her supporting her natal family. But now that the household had split, the food and drink for the three of them all rested on his shoulders, yet this woman had given all the family's meager money to her natal family, neglecting herself and her son, and today she even dared to cause a scene at his parents' home?

Of the three brothers, he already earned the least, and now his wife was the first to jump up and cause trouble at his parents' place. How would his parents view him?

He was truly furious at this stupid woman.

Knowing she could no longer hide that she had given the money to her natal family, Hao Yanhong said: "Yanwei, don't be angry. My mother said it was just a temporary loan; they'll pay it back once they recover."

Fu Yanwei, instead of getting angry, laughed: "Pay it back once they recover. That sounds nice. Then when do you think they'll recover?"

Hao Yanhong was stumped; after all, when she had given money to her natal family before, her own mother had said something similar, yet they had never paid it back once: "Yanwei, it's all my fault. Just forgive me this once. I'll never lend money to my natal family again."

Fu Yanwei knew a dog can't change its habit of eating shit, so he didn't expect her to change. He made up his mind that from now on, except for household expenses, he would no longer entrust money to her.

Meanwhile, in the third branch's quarters: "Yanhong, you don't know. Today, Second Sister-in-law went to our parents' place and caused a scene. I heard Second Brother chased after her and brought her back not long after, looking very grim."

However, before Fu Yanhong could reply, she sighed heavily: "It's also because our parents went too far, kicking all of us out while letting outsiders move in. I heard that family is sick and disabled; aren't they afraid it'll ruin our fortune?"

Hearing her say this, Fu Yanhong replied: "Don't be as foolish as Second Sister-in-law. The matter is already done; what's the use of saying more?"

Besides, that house was originally our parents'. What use is it for us to be unwilling to manage it?
