Chapter 1496: What Play Are You Putting On?

~4 min read 753 words

Upon hearing the cry of "The bride is leaving," Fu's mother felt a sting in her nose, tears welling up in her eyes.

Watching her eldest son carry his daughter on his back while the other three brothers escorted them from the sides and rear, she could no longer hold back, and tears fell with a pitter-patter.

Her sister-in-law, Pan Auntie Peilin, seeing her like this, quickly urged, "Sister-in-law, that child Ren Jiangfeng has lost both parents, and his only living aunt is not by his side. Although our little Yanwan has married out, what difference is there between her and gaining an extra son for you? Stop crying."

Hearing these words, Fu's mother indeed felt much better: "Sister-in-law speaks the truth."

Seeing her mood improve significantly, Pan Auntie Peilin then added with a touch of bitterness, "At least you only have this one daughter, Yanwan, so you only need to experience this once. Besides, Jiangfeng's situation is special, and he is a filial son; you should be secretly rejoicing.

I have already experienced sending off two daughters, and Yanjing is still unmarried. I have to admit, your fate is indeed better than mine."

Fu's mother had not expected this sister-in-law of hers to say so much to her today, but what she said was indeed the truth.

With this distraction, her reluctance at sending off her daughter vanished without a trace.

The wedding banquet was held at the state-run hotel, and not many people were invited. Since Yanwan and Jiangfeng had just arrived at their work unit, they did not invite colleagues, thinking they would simply distribute candies once work started. After all, everyone's life was tight, and they did not want to trouble others.

Those who came to attend the wedding today included Fu's close relatives, the in-laws of the four sons, and some colleagues with good relationships, yet even so, six tables were filled.

After escorting the bride, Fu Yan Cheng went directly back to his own small courtyard to pick up Liu Chuxue.

By the time they arrived, most of the guests had already gathered.

The bride's aunt was a cheerful person. Although her husband held a high status, as an elder of the groom's side today, he was very approachable; he not only chatted well with the Fu elders but also greeted all the other in-laws of the Fu family one by one.

Liu Chuxue also saw that Ren Jiangfeng's aunt and uncle truly held this nephew in their hearts, and everything they did was for his sake.

During the feast, Fu's eldest sister-in-law, Pan Auntie Peilin, learned that the job information for Yanwan and her husband had been provided by Xiao Fu. She specifically went over to speak with Xiao Fu: "In-laws, we haven't had much contact before, but now that you have moved into the city, we can count as proper relatives, so we must interact more in the future."

After some pleasantries, she asked: "I heard that the job news for those two children, Yanwan and Jiangfeng, was something you helped with?"

Xiao Fu finally understood the purpose of their approach and pleasantries: "It was just a coincidence; I happened to encounter such an opportunity."

Pan Auntie Peilin knew this statement was true, yet she still smiled and said, "Understood, understood. If there are such opportunities again, in-law, you must remember to send us a message. My daughter Yanjing is still a Ding Zhiqing at the farm. Knowing that Yanwan has returned to the city, needless to say she is envious, but mainly because the child is too young, I, as a mother, truly cannot rest easy about her."

Xiao Fu had been in the city for some time, so his speech and conduct were naturally much better than when he was in the village: "No problem, no problem. If there is another opportunity, I will definitely have Fu Yan Cheng notify the family immediately."

Having obtained the promise she wanted, Pan Auntie Peilin was naturally very happy: "Alright, alright, alright. Then I won't disturb you; please eat and drink well."

She then greeted the other in-laws before returning to her seat.

Fu the Eldest saw his wife return and asked, "What play are you putting on?"

Pan Auntie Peilin rolled her eyes at her husband: "Yanwan and her husband have both returned to the city. How long do you want Yanjing to stay at the farm? You, as a father, don't worry about the child, so I, as a mother, naturally cannot do nothing."
