Chapter 1610: Fu Yanming Gets Promoted

Seeing her own husband's face darken, Zhang Yurong could only give up.

She hadn't intended to snatch the fourth brother's child; she had just heard people say that raising a child brought good fortune in pregnancy. She offered to pay to raise one for them, yet they refused, thinking the fourth couple was ungrateful.

With the dishes served, the eldest, Fu Yanming, looked at his father and mother: "Mom, Dad, I have good news to tell everyone."

Hearing this, everyone turned to look at him, waiting to hear what he would say next.

A smile appeared on Fu Yanming's lips: "I've been promoted; I am now the section chief of Technical Section One."

Everyone congratulated him in turn.

However, Fu Yanming looked at Liu Chuxue: "I'm afraid this matter owes its success to my sister-in-law."

Not only the others, but even Liu Chuxue felt puzzled: "Big Brother is joking, right? How could this be related to me?"

Fu Yanming smiled: "There were three nominees. My vote count was tied with the first-place candidate at the time, leaving only Deputy Factory Director Gu's vote remaining."

Hearing this, Liu Chuxue immediately understood.

Deputy Factory Director Gu knew that Fu Yanming and I were brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law. Given the past kindness, plus Fu Yanming's genuine excellence, he naturally would not have cast his vote for anyone else.

Liu Chuxue smiled: "Favoritism did play a small part, but Deputy Factory Director Gu is someone who clearly distinguishes between love and hate; it is because Big Brother is excellent that he truly deserves this position."

Guo Wenjing, standing nearby, heard these words and felt very comforted in her heart.

She naturally understood that Deputy Factory Director Gu's vote this time was crucial, yet it was indeed because her own husband was excellent. She accepted the gratitude, but did not want people to say her husband became section chief only because of the fourth sister-in-law.

With Fu Yanming's lead, the brothers each spoke about their work situations.

Fu Yan Cheng naturally mentioned that he had received an individual first-class merit and a collective first-class merit. Hearing this, Father Fu was most excited: "Come, come, let us all raise a glass."

That was a first-class merit! The fourth son was becoming increasingly able to keep his composure; such a huge matter, he had only told the family now.

Liu Chuxue took the opportunity to mention the restoration of the college entrance examination. Of course, she could not state it directly, saying only that she had analyzed it herself, reminding them that if they were interested, they must prepare in advance.

Having achieved her main purpose today, Liu Chuxue left the table early.

When she entered the room, Auntie Wei was eating while watching the three children.

Liu Chuxue hurried forward: "Auntie Wei, you eat; I will watch them."

Auntie Wei shoveled food from the bowl: "Are we staying here tonight, or..."

Liu Chuxue had already decided: "We will return to our own small courtyard to stay tonight; we will not stay here."

Auntie Wei looked up: "Then do you need me to go over and clean it first later?"

Liu Chuxue shook her head: "No need. My mother-in-law cleans that house every week; a little tidying up will make it livable."

Originally, Mother Fu wanted them to stay here, but Fu Yan Cheng had already received Liu Chuxue's reminder and dared not agree: "Mom, you and Dad have work tomorrow. If we stay here, we will affect you. It is more convenient to stay at the small courtyard; we can pack up and leave tomorrow."

Seeing her son insist, Mother Fu, though reluctant, knew this was her daughter-in-law's wish and did not press further: "Then I will bring you breakfast early tomorrow morning."

Liu Chuxue knew her mother-in-law was reluctant to part with the three youngest: "Mom, you have work tomorrow morning; we will handle breakfast ourselves."

Mother Fu knew the fourth daughter-in-law was doing this for her own good: "It is just a matter of me waking up a bit early; it is not like this often."
