Chapter 1481: They Are All My Daughters-in-Law, So Naturally I Must Keep the Bowl Level

Fu Yan Cheng entered the door and saw his wife chatting and laughing with his mother: "Mom, why didn't you tell me? I could have gone to the bus stop to pick you up."

Fu's mother saw her son return: "I'm not seventy or eighty yet. Besides, I happened to meet Ruhua, so I came in with her."

Liu Chuxue looked up, smiling at Fu Yan Cheng: "A few days ago you said Xiao Wan's wedding date was approaching; isn't it that Mom has come to bring us the news?"

Hearing his wife's words, Fu Yan Cheng looked at his mother: "Has the date been set?"

Fu's mother nodded with a smile: "Yes, the twenty-sixth of next month, the sixth day of the tenth lunar month. Just right, the house they were allocated also needs tidying up, but most importantly, we need to let Jiangfeng's aunt arrange her time."

At dinner time, Liu Chuxue mentioned to Fu Yan Cheng what she had said to her mother-in-law: "I feel that that auntie is a capable person, and she also pays attention to personal hygiene; I just don't know if she would be willing?"

Hearing her say this, a trace of joy flashed across Fu Yan Cheng's face: "Leave this matter to me. If it really works out, we can indirectly help that grandmother and grandson."

Seeing both his mother and his wife looking at him, he couldn't help but sigh lightly: "His son, Wei Ninghao, though not in the same regiment as me, we have gone on many missions together. He is a very meticulous person who gets along with everyone."

"After Company Commander Wei met with an accident, we comrades pooled some money, wanting the grandmother and grandson to live better, but Auntie Wei stubbornly returned all the money, refusing to accept it no matter what."

"She even said that everyone has it hard, needing to support their families; the army gave a pension, which is enough for Wei Wenbin to grow up. Oh, that is Company Commander Wei's son."

"Everyone had no choice but to take the money back. Afterwards, comrades who got along well with Company Commander Wei would go over to help with chores when they had time, but after a few times, Auntie Wei stopped them from coming. She said her grandson shouldn't always rely on others, and they didn't want to keep troubling everyone."

Speaking to this point, the three people in the room fell silent.

Hearing the names of the Wei father and son, plus what Fu Yan Cheng had just said, Liu Chuxue suspected that Auntie Wei was no ordinary person.

After staying one night in the family compound, Fu's mother had to catch the early bus the next morning to return to the city.

When about to leave, she held Liu Chuxue's hand: "Take care of yourself. If anything happens, call Mom. Also, if there is news about Auntie Wei, remember to tell me."

"And what I said yesterday still stands. If Auntie Wei agrees, it will count as a gift from me and your father. Don't be polite with Mom. They are all my daughters-in-law; naturally, I must keep the bowl level. I cannot ignore the good and the bad just because your conditions are better."

Since her mother-in-law had said so, Liu Chuxue, moved, naturally did not refuse: "Alright. If Auntie Wei agrees then, I will call you."

She originally wanted to see her mother-in-law off to the edge of the family compound, but Fu's mother stopped her: "Right now, everything is about you. The weather is quite cool; just stay home."

Fu Yan Cheng also walked over: "Wife, listen. Mom isn't a stranger. I'll go see her off."

After seeing his mother off, she began knitting the sweater again.

Near noon, Tao Saozi brought a bowl of her own pickled vegetables: "I just pickled them a few days ago; they aren't too sour yet. I brought a bowl for you to taste the freshness."

Seeing that bowl of pickled vegetables, Liu Chuxue suddenly swallowed her saliva, thinking: Eating pickled fish with vegetables is perfect for this weather.

She just feared she would have to eat the fish alone, as the fish had no source.
