Chapter 1195: Stop Trying to Morally Blackmail Me with Those Grand Principles

Hao Yanhong didn't cause trouble, and with everyone thinking Liu Chuxue was most likely pregnant, the meal was naturally a joyful affair.

Even Fu Yan Cheng's father and mother treated their second son and his wife much better.

Fu Yan Cheng also did as he said; after everyone finished eating, he conscientiously gathered the bowls and chopsticks to go wash them.

Fu's mother reached out and held him back: "You don't need to clear these bowls; your father and I will do it later. Take your wife home to rest early; tomorrow the two of you can go to the hospital to confirm."

But not only did Fu Yan Cheng not agree, even Liu Chuxue spoke up: "Mom, it's still early. You and Dad have worked all day, so let him wash them. I'll keep you and my sisters-in-law company."

Thinking of the things she brought back: "Mom, you can distribute the things I brought to my sisters-in-law in a moment; consider it a small token of my appreciation."

Fu's mother was still quite considerate: "There's no shortage for them, but it's better to wait a bit before giving it to them, so you don't feel unwell from the smell again."

Guo Wenjing also chimed in: "Mom is right."

After speaking, she looked at her own husband: "Yanming, give your fourth brother a hand; with so many bowls and chopsticks, how long would it take him to wash them alone?"

Fu Yanming stood up with a smile: "Understood."

Since the eldest brother Fu Yanming had even lent a hand, Fu Yanwei and Fu Yanhong naturally couldn't stay seated; the four brothers worked together and quickly cleared the dishes and took them out.

Once the four brothers left, Fu's father couldn't stay seated there either.

He got up and went to the kitchen to chat with his sons; the younger ones were all led out of the courtyard by Fu Jinyue, the eldest sister.

For a moment, only the mother-in-law and daughters-in-law remained in the room.

Hao Yanhong coughed lightly: "Fourth sister-in-law, if you are truly pregnant, with Fourth Brother away in the army all year round, it won't do for you to be the only one at home."

Upon hearing this, Liu Chuxue knew what she was planning: "I'm from the countryside, which Second Sister-in-law knows; I've been used to being independent since childhood, so I'm not that pretentious."

"You can't say that; this has nothing to do with being pretentious. You're pregnant; if something goes wrong, it's good to have someone to look after you, isn't it?"

Hearing their conversation, Fu's mother and the other two were momentarily at a loss.

Then they heard Liu Chuxue say: "Second Sister-in-law, I just like peace and quiet. Even if what you say is reasonable, I won't agree to your family moving in; drop that idea."

Only then did the others understand what the two were implying.

Fu's mother's face immediately darkened: "Second's wife, can't you just be at peace? I already told you before: whether Fourth Brother rented or bought that house, it's their own business and has nothing to do with anyone else. What did you mean by what you just said?"

Liu Chuxue would never spare anyone's feelings: "Today, when Fu Yan Cheng picked me up from the train station and brought me home, I saw Second Sister-in-law loitering outside my courtyard. After greeting her, she told me she wanted to move in and live with us. Both Yan Cheng and I refused. I didn't expect Second Sister-in-law to still be so determined, waiting for me here."

After being exposed, Hao Yanhong didn't feel the least bit embarrassed: "Fourth sister-in-law, that house is empty anyway; letting us stay temporarily won't take anything away. Besides, whether Yan Cheng bought it himself or Mom and Dad subsidized Yan Cheng to buy it, it all used the Fu family's money. After all, they are brothers; they should help each other. You can't be too selfish."

Liu Chuxue sneered: "Second Sister-in-law, you're wrong. That house is my premarital property; it's my own house, not Fu Yan Cheng's, and certainly not the Fu family's. Stop trying to morally blackmail me with those grand principles."
