Chapter 1489: He Did It on Purpose; Who Is He Being Passive-Aggressive To Here?

~4 min read 761 words

Originally, Liu Chuxue had wanted her own elder sister and brother-in-law's family to move in and keep an eye on the house for her.

But in the end, Qiu Shaofeng did not agree.

Only later did they learn that Qiu Shaofeng had met Fu Fu Fu Yanwei and his wife on the road one day; his second sister-in-law, Hao Yanhong, had intentionally and unintentionally kept bringing up their courtyard, implying in every word that she, as the younger brother's wife, was unreasonable.

Upon returning home, Qiu Shaofeng told Xia Qiu about this; the couple discussed it and decided they absolutely could not move into Liu Chuxue's house, or they would inevitably cause trouble for Liu Chuxue.

Nevertheless, Liu Chuxue still gave them a key, asking them to come over on weekends when free to open the doors for ventilation and tidy up.

So when second sister-in-law Hao Yanhong said those things, she felt too lazy to even respond.

As if their second branch hadn't been troubling the parents-in-law recently.

Fu Yan Cheng happened to enter at that moment: "Second sister-in-law, my elder sister and her husband go over every weekend to help clean that courtyard; Mom and Dad just went over to help us sun the quilts. Rest assured, Mom and Dad won't be tired, and to thank Mom and Dad, Liu Chuxue even brought back quite a few health tonics for them. Mom and Dad are very happy; you don't need to stand up for them."

He was doing it on purpose; who was he being passive-aggressive to here?

Just then, Fu Father and Fu Mother came in together from outside.

Fu Yan Cheng opened the bag he had brought: "Mom, Dad, this is the meat sauce Liu Chuxue prepared for you; this is local milk powder I asked a comrade-in-arms from Inner Mongolia to mail. Liu Chuxue said to share some with you to nourish your bodies."

Now, Hao Yanhong, who had been wanting to refute, dared not say anything else; after all, even though they had moved out as a separate household, they still frequently returned to the parents-in-law's place to eat and drink for free.

Afterward, Fu Yan Cheng took out two more items of clothing: "Mom, Dad, these two sets of clothes were rushed out by Liu Chuxue these past few days; tomorrow little sister is getting married, so she can wear them exactly then; it's festive."

Fu Yan Cheng handed a dark gray Zhongshan suit to Fu Father: "Dad, take a look and see if the size fits?"

Fu Father, face beaming with joy, took it: "Oh my, this suit is made so perfectly; the size looks right at a glance. You, child, are still pregnant yourself; how can you still be thinking of us."

Though he said that, the joy on his face was impossible to hide.

Liu Chuxue smiled: "The fabric was prepared beforehand; originally I planned to give it to you as a surprise during the New Year, but little sister's wedding is a big event, so I asked a sister-in-law from the family compound to help rush it out."

Fu Father was not at all shy: "You are thoughtful; Dad likes it very much."

Fu Mother then took her own: black trousers and a camel-colored top.

Fu Mother did not expect her fourth daughter-in-law to be so attentive: "Oh my, Mom likes these clothes very much too; it's just that you, child, have worked so hard."

Liu Chuxue gave a coquettish smile: "As long as Mom likes it, that's enough."

Fu Mother's face was all smiles: "Like it, like it; tomorrow Mom will wear this very outfit."

Even the eldest daughter-in-law, Guo Wenjing, did not expect the fourth sister-in-law to be so generous: "The fourth sister-in-law's craftsmanship is truly excellent."

Liu Chuxue smiled: "A sister-in-law from the family compound guided me while I used the sewing machine to make them."

Everyone had been quite happy, but then second sister-in-law Hao Yanhong said: "I suppose you had someone else make them for you?"

Liu Chuxue was quite annoyed that she kept harping on her: "Second sister-in-law, don't say that; these clothes were indeed made by my own hands. Even if I had asked someone else to make them, it would still be a filial piety from me, as a daughter-in-law."

Fu Yan Cheng also cooled his expression at that moment: "Second brother..."

Before he could finish speaking, Fu Fu Fu Yanwei spoke up before him: "Hao Yanhong, that's enough; today everyone has gathered together with difficulty; don't keep saying such joy-killing words."
