Chapter 174: I Think You're Just Bored

~4 min read 725 words

She was somewhat worried that Ding Runlan would scheme against her own fourth son again; after all, that dead boy is still a lone wolf to this day, so it seems next time the fourth son returns, she must remind him.

By the time she figured it out, Zhang Yurong had already finished her water and sat down nearby. "Mom, you don't know, the Ding family situation isn't the main issue; the most important thing is that the Geng family won't let that mother and daughter enter the door. Geng Rongsheng's mother called her a bringer of bad luck, saying that if she hadn't kept crying and wailing, crying away the family's fortune, her own second son wouldn't have died at such a young age."

Fu's mother heard these words and felt somewhat uncomfortable in her heart. "To speak fairly, Geng Rongsheng's death was an accident; how can it be blamed on Ding Runlan? However, your Aunt Geng did say one thing correctly: Ding Runlan constantly shows herself with tearful eyes, which is truly quite annoying."

Zhang Yurong grinned mischievously. "Mom, you must remind your fourth brother not to get too close to her; otherwise, if she deliberately sets a trap again, your fourth brother's reputation will be ruined."

Fu's mother rolled her eyes at her third daughter-in-law. "Your fourth brother has nothing to do with her; say less of those nonsense things."

Zhang Yurong smiled sheepishly. "I know, I know; I'm not stupid."

After speaking, she continued, "I heard from people outside that actually, many people don't want her to return to the Geng family. Geng Rongjun's wife, the daughter-in-law of the Geng family, will give birth in a few months; their eldest son is now five years old, so naturally, their room won't be spacious enough at that time.

If Ding Runlan doesn't return to the Geng family, the room that Geng Rongsheng and Ding Runlan occupied before will naturally become empty, just right for the eldest son of the main branch to move in, so the eldest daughter-in-law of the Geng family probably didn't stop fanning the flames and exerting effort behind the scenes."

Fu's mother actually believed this. "So what happened in the end?"

Zhang Yurong shrugged. "I don't know; later, many leaders from the unit arrived and dispersed everyone who had gathered around."

While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were discussing this matter, at the unit, someone was also talking about this to Fu Yan Cheng. "Yan Cheng, that woman Ding Runlan has lost her husband now; do you think she will come after you?"

Fu Yan Cheng finished handling the documents in his hands, put on his military cap, and stood up. "I think you are just bored; let's go to the sparring ground."

Shen Kaiyuan, seeing his posture, immediately waved his hands. "No, no, no, my waist isn't healed yet; if there's another mishap, I'm afraid it will leave sequelae. I promised my wife that I would protect my waist well; don't harm me."

Those words sounded so awkward.

Only after Shen Kaiyuan finished speaking did he realize something. "You, you, you, don't misunderstand; my wife just wants me to fully recover before participating in training."

Fu Yan Cheng was too lazy to argue with him; he had already made up his mind, planning to arrange the matters at hand and go to Liu Family Village the day after tomorrow.

During a mission a few days ago, he heard that the girls in the village are usually matched with partners at fifteen or sixteen; if they meet someone suitable, they get engaged first. That little girl is so beautiful; even if she was dumped by her previously engaged partner, I'm afraid the people wanting to marry her could form a queue. His current task is to leave a good impression on her parents.

And the person Fu Yan Cheng has been thinking about was boiling water for the people helping with the work.

Liu's father was sitting in front of the temporarily built stove helping to stoke the fire, his face full of smiles. "Xue, at this pace, once you get your high school graduation certificate, we can move in."

Now the house has reached the finishing stage; Ninth Uncle has already installed all the doors and windows, just waiting for the glass to arrive in a few days.
