Chapter 1364: The Younger Sister-in-Law Arrives
Truly, one thing tames another; Zhang Lianhua, usually like a shrew, had turned into a white lotus in her mother-in-law's hands, tears welling in her eyes as she looked at her own husband standing aside: "Wenbing, I didn't mean that, hurry and explain it to Mother-in-law for me."
Colonel Cui was about to say something when he heard a commotion outside the main gate; looking up, he saw quite a few people standing on both sides of the gate watching the spectacle, so he quickly swallowed his words and said to his own mother: "Enough, stop making a scene, we'll talk whatever needs talking after the meal."
Having spoken, he looked at his daughter-in-law: "Hurry and check the dishes on your stove."
Yu Rao saw the two older brothers behind her grandmother and, feeling afraid, shrank behind her own father; she knew her grandmother disliked her, that every time the two brothers saw her they would bully her, yet her grandmother would always protect them and even call her a money-losing goods, while her parents would only tell her to endure and let it pass.
Colonel Cui, somewhat annoyed, scratched his head: "Mother, didn't we agree that you wouldn't come over this summer vacation?"
Ge Pozi, somewhat guilty, said: "Dabao and Erbao rarely see you in their daily lives; since vacation has started, naturally we had to bring them over to get close to you."
What he didn't say was that the reason he brought the two grandsons over was to hide from disaster.
But being unrepentant by nature, on the way to the dependents' compound he actually got into a conflict with the family of Vice-Regiment Commander Gong; as soon as he got off the vehicle, he was taken away for education.
However, the old lady was also someone who could bend and stretch; fearing her son would send her back to her hometown in a fit of rage, she made all sorts of promises to the leader and, being pragmatic, apologized to Vice-Regiment Commander Gong's wife, thus turning a major matter into a minor one and being led home by her own son.
Fu Yan Cheng was picking vegetables with Liu Chuxue in the yard when a soldier ran up from outside the yard gate: "Company Commander Fu, a Miss has come to the gate of the dependents' compound, claiming to be your younger sister..."
Before the rest of the words were finished, Fu Yan Cheng spoke: "I'll go out with you."
As he spoke, he tried to support himself and stand up, but Liu Chuxue stopped him: "You have injuries on your body; I should go instead."
Fu Yan Cheng still wanted to insist, but Liu Chuxue's face grew cold: "What are you trying to prove? It was hard enough for the scabs on your back to form; walking back and forth will make you sweat all over..."
As for the consequences, Fu Yan Cheng understood them without her needing to say: "Wife, don't be angry, I was just..."
Before he could finish, Liu Chuxue said firmly: "You stay and pick vegetables; Xiao Wan and I will be back soon."
Fu Yan Cheng could only give a few instructions, watching her leave with the little soldier who had brought the news.
Seeing Fu Yanwan saw her own fourth sister-in-law from afar, raised her hand, and shouted: "Fourth Sister-in-law, I'm here!"
Liu Chuxue walked over with a smile: "Xiao Wan, this time you've really troubled me."
Seeing Fu Yanwan greeted her with a grin: "Sister-in-law, family doesn't speak as if they are two different families; besides, what relationship do we have? Saying 'troubled' makes us seem like outsiders."
As she spoke, she leaned close to Liu Chuxue's ear: "Besides, I don't have to go to work for this period; I'm happy enough to come."
Liu Chuxue chuckled softly: "Alright, then I won't speak polite words; let's register and go home; your brother is waiting at home."
Seeing Fu Yanwan expressed her attitude with a smile: "Right, right, right; I've come to help; whatever work there is during this period, just leave it to me."
While saying this, she glanced toward her own fourth sister-in-law's belly: "Sister-in-law, isn't your belly a bit too big?"
Liu Chuxue looked down at her belly: "Is it big?"
Seeing Fu Yanwan nodded lightly: "There are two pregnant women at our educated youth point who are the same month as you; I feel your belly is a full circle bigger than theirs."
