Chapter 1137: You Don't Have an Outside Interest, Do You?

Zhang Yurong thought it made sense; since the in-laws had already been moved in, what could they do even if they didn't want to? "By the way, where did the fourth brother and his family find a house? I'll go over this weekend to see what the fourth sister-in-law thinks."

Fu Yanhong glanced at the person beside him. "A few days ago I met the eldest brother and we talked about the fourth brother. He said the fourth sister-in-law went on a business trip to the south."

Zhang Yurong looked surprised. "What, she went on a business trip?"

Fu Yanhong nodded almost imperceptibly. "Yes, she went with factory staff to attend the Canton Fair. The eldest brother said the sister-in-law went along not as an accountant, but as a traveling translator. Our fourth sister-in-law is no simple person; we must maintain good relations with her in the future."

After a moment of stunned silence, Zhang Yurong said somewhat guiltily, "Our relationship was already quite good. Do you expect me to deliberately cater to her?"

Fu Yanhong merely glanced at her indifferently without exposing her. "The fourth brother is young but already a regiment-level cadre, and the sister-in-law is doing very well in the factory. Now that the family has been allocated housing, don't harbor any improper schemes."

Zhang Yurong rolled her eyes at him. "What kind of talk is that? What improper schemes could I have? Ever since the fourth brother got married, I haven't mentioned Xiaoya's case once. Besides, because of Xiaoya's case, my uncle now has objections to me. I haven't even confronted the fourth brother about it, yet you're the one bringing it up."

Hearing this, Fu Yanhong said, "That's quite amusing. Back then, you insisted on matchmaking your cousin with the fourth brother, even though the fourth brother refused. You and your cousin still tried to pull some covert tricks behind the scenes. Now you want to confront the fourth brother? What do you expect to get out of it?"

Zhang Yurong's expression turned very ugly. "Fu Yanhong, I am your wife. If Xiaoya and the fourth brother had truly become a couple, wouldn't that have benefited you too? Didn't you oppose it back then when Xue was involved?"

When his own wife had proposed matchmaking Xiaoya and the fourth brother back then, he indeed had not opposed it. "I didn't oppose it, but after the fourth brother refused, didn't I tell you to drop the idea?"

Zhang Yurong, angered by his words, immediately turned her back on him. "You're just a Monday-morning quarterback. Now you're blaming me. You're really something."

Fu Yanhong found the conversation pointless. "Enough, the more we talk the further we drift. The fourth brother is already married. What's the point of bringing up old gossip now? Just get along well with the fourth sister-in-law from now on."

Zhang Yurong, naturally not stupid, replied, "Understood."

Thinking of something, she touched her belly. The Fu brothers numbered four: the eldest had one son and two daughters, the second had one son, and the fourth had just gotten married. She didn't know if the fourth sister-in-law was fertile. Currently, she only had a daughter and no son to rely on. She was truly afraid that the fourth brother's wife would give birth to a son before she did.

Suddenly, she turned and embraced Fu Yanhong.

Seeing her action, Fu Yanhong immediately understood her meaning. "My cold hasn't healed yet. Keep it down."

It wasn't that he didn't want a son, but this woman was too clingy. Last time they went to the hospital for a checkup, the Physician had said that sexual relations should not be too frequent; it not only affected their health but also didn't necessarily lead to conception.

The implication was that too frequent intercourse caused fatigue, which reduced sperm quality, making it even harder for a woman to conceive.

At that time, the explanation had made him want to crawl into a crack in the ground.

Zhang Yurong grew anxious. "What's wrong with you lately? It's either your cold or you're feeling unwell. Do you have an outside interest?"

Fu Yanhong was greatly angered by her words. "What nonsense are you talking? For whose sake am I doing this? Have you forgotten what the Physician said before?"

Zhang Yurong dismissed it. "How can a couple conceive if they don't do that sort of thing? You're just listening to her bluff."
