Chapter 1490: You Don't Want to Walk Down the Aisle with a Runny Nose Tomorrow, Do You?

~4 min read 756 words

Father Fu and Mother Fu, who had gone to change clothes, returned just in time to hear their second son's words. Father Fu, who usually stayed out of things, spoke up directly: "Tomorrow is Xiao Wan's big day. If anyone causes trouble at this juncture, don't blame me for not giving face."

Now that the father-in-law had spoken, how would Hao Yanhong dare keep stirring up trouble? After all, she still had a favor to ask of him: "Dad, I just spoke too hastily, didn't think it through, I really didn't mean anything else."

Father Fu looked at her: "It better be that way."

Guo Wenjing quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Dad, Mom, this outfit really fits well. Looks like Fourth Sister-in-law put plenty of thought into it."

Thinking of something, she said with a smile: "Since Fourth Sister-in-law has already made the clothes, we'll follow suit and give our New Year gifts early. In a bit we'll go get you each a pair of leather shoes, to show our filial piety too."

Mother Fu, hearing this, quickly spoke up to stop her: "No, no, no, we already have leather shoes, don't waste that kind of money."

Fu Yanming, who had come in from outside, picked up the thread: "I had already saved up the coupons, planning to buy each of you a pair of leather shoes for the New Year. You've worn those shoes of yours for how many years now? Can't we be filial just once?"

With things said to this point, Father Fu made the call directly: "Fine, we'll listen to the children. Consider it New Year gifts delivered early."

His pair of leather shoes really did need replacing—the heels had been repaired several times already and truly couldn't match this brand-new outfit. It so happened that these past few days the new production line was officially going into operation, the old factory director was about to retire, and he, the successor already nailed in, ought to spruce himself up a bit, didn't he?

Mother Fu glared at her man: "What would you have me say to you?"

Father Fu laughed and replied: "Then don't say anything."

With those words, everyone in the room burst out laughing.

It was at this moment that Seeing Fu Yanwan walked in the door: "What are you all laughing at?"

Guo Wenjing saw her sister-in-law had come back from her bath: "Oh, you girl, how could you come back with your hair still wet? Hurry back to your room, your big sister-in-law will help towel your hair dry."

Mother Fu was also a bit anxious: "It's so cold, aren't you afraid of catching a cold? How can you be so worry-inducing."

Liu Chuxue looked at Fu Yan Cheng: "Your legs are fast, go to our place and bring back the hair dryer."

Seeing Fu Yanwan, hearing there was a hair dryer, her eyes lit up: "Fourth Sister-in-law, when did you buy a hair dryer?"

Liu Chuxue smiled: "Had someone buy it, just got it too. Perfect for you to be the first to use."

Seeing Fu Yanwan was very happy: "Thank you, Fourth Sister-in-law. I've never even used one. Now when I chat with them, I'll actually have something to say."

Guo Wenjing quickly found a clean towel to wrap her sister-in-law's wet hair: "Wrap it up first and go back to your room. Do you still want to be a pretty bride?"

Seeing Fu Yanwan was a bit embarrassed: "Big Sister-in-law, I've always been like this, how could I just happen to catch a cold?"

Guo Wenjing poked her forehead in exasperation: "Forgot what tomorrow is? Don't we need to be more careful?"

At this moment, Zhang Yurong, who had been silent all along, also spoke up: "Big Sister-in-law is right, being careful isn't wrong. You don't want to walk down the aisle with a runny nose tomorrow, do you?"

With her words, after a brief silence, the room suddenly erupted in a burst of laughter.

Imagining that scene, everyone laughed even harder.

Seeing Fu Yanwan was at first so angry she stamped her foot, but after a moment, she joined in too.

When Fu Yan Cheng came running back, he saw a whole room of people laughing uproariously: "What's going on?"

Seeing Fu Yanwan didn't want one more person laughing at her, so she snatched the thing from her fourth brother's hand: "Nothing, nothing, I'm going to dry my hair first."

With that, she scurried back to her own room in a flash.
