Chapter 1719: What Is My Brother-in-Law's Attitude?

Today was an extraordinary day for the Fu family.

The several families gathered together were much more harmonious.

Even Second Sister-in-law Hao Yanhong, who was usually stingy, became much more generous now that she had a job, carrying big and small bags when she returned.

And the triplets were overjoyed; their older brother and sister took good care of them, taking them to play with firecrackers and build snowmen in the courtyard, which was filled with laughter and chatter.

Even the neighbors couldn't help but say enviously, "The atmosphere for this New Year is truly wonderful; your daughters-in-law are all vying to do the work. Your good days have arrived."

After a lively New Year's Eve dinner, everyone stayed here until the second day of the New Year before dispersing.

However, it was agreed that everyone would come back at noon on the third day, because Xiao Wan and the others would return on the second day, and their family of three would stay here until the fifth day.

Fu Yan Cheng had to return to the army on the fourth day, so he set the gathering for the fourth day.

When Liu Chuxue and the others arrived at the Xiao family, Liu Chuxue immediately noticed something was wrong with Xia Qiu: "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Qiu coughed lightly: "Is it that obvious?"

Liu Chuxue rolled her eyes at her: "What happened?"

Xia Qiu originally didn't want to mention it, but since Liu Chuxue had already noticed, she didn't want to hide it: "That job of mine was found by someone else to substitute for me.

This time I went back, my in-laws said that the match my sister-in-law mentioned before has now started working in the city, and they are afraid that her marriage will fall through again.

They wanted me to give that job to my sister-in-law.

I can actually understand their thinking; after all, I am currently studying, and originally someone else was substituting for me anyway.

But the implication in my mother-in-law's words was that since we have now established ourselves in the city, we should help our younger brothers and sisters if we are able.

Then she kept talking about my job, and finally, guess what she said?"

Liu Chuxue smiled: "Could it be that she wants you to give the job to your sister-in-law for free?"

Xia Qiu took a deep breath: "You actually guessed it right. She said that since I will be assigned a job after finishing my studies, having someone else substitute for me all along isn't a good thing, and it might not be retrievable later, so it would be better to give it to my sister-in-law as a dowry."

Liu Chuxue didn't rush to reply, just listening as Xia Qiu continued: "Actually, my sister-in-law is really quite good, and this job isn't something I can't give her, but as a sister-in-law, how could I possibly go over my in-laws' heads?

What made me angriest was that when I asked her back what my second brother and second sister gave my sister-in-law as a wedding gift, my mother-in-law actually told me that our two families' conditions are different, and they must act according to their means."

Before, I thought Qiu Mu was a decent person, but now I feel she has changed a lot.

But thinking about it, it's normal; both the eldest son and his wife have moved to the city, and the eldest daughter-in-law even got into university, so it's understandable that she wants to consider her other children more, but she should never have set her sights on Xia Qiu.

They had only just paid off all the money for the job recently, and had just said 'no debt is a light burden,' yet someone is already coveting her job position.

Liu Chuxue asked: "What is my brother-in-law's attitude?"

Xia Qiu glanced into the courtyard: "His attitude was actually quite acceptable; he stood on my side and told his parents that giving the job to the younger sister as a dowry is definitely not possible, after all, their days are not easy either, and they hadn't saved any money before.

Because we didn't agree, my mother-in-law was very displeased with us, and when leaving, she didn't even pack any dried vegetables for us.

Although I really don't care about those things now, I just feel uncomfortable in my heart."
