Chapter 1765: There Will Be a Day He Regrets It

Fu's father stared at his third son: "Give me a reason?"

Fu Yan Hong naturally dared not speak the truth, sticking to the same story Zhang Yurong had told: "I want a son, but Yurong can't conceive anymore."

Upon hearing this, Fu's father grew even angrier. He casually picked up a ceramic ashtray and threw it; it struck Fu Yan Hong squarely on the forehead without missing, drawing blood at once.

Yet even then, Fu's father's expression didn't change. He raised a finger, pointing at him as he scolded: "Was she unable to bear children from the start? No, she was injured bearing Fu Jinyi. You knew this. What did you say back then? You said having Fu Jinyi alone was enough. Now Fu Jinyi is so grown, and you want a son? Aren't you shameless?"

Scolding thus, he gasped for breath in anger. At that moment, Fu's mother arrived in the main hall, leaning on her cane: "Third son, you heartless wretch. All these years, how many bitter herbal decoctions did Yurong drink to bear you another child? Are you blind and didn't see?"

Fu Yan Hong stood there, letting his parents scold him.

After a long while, he finally said: "Indeed, I wronged her. So at the time of divorce, I gave her most of the family's money and coupons, and I gave Fu Jinyi to her as well."

Guo Wenjing, sitting nearby, could no longer bear to listen: "Do you think that's enough? You gave Fu Jinyi to Yurong. It seems like compensation, but have you considered that with a child in tow, what good choices could she possibly have? You are truly selfish."

Hearing her eldest daughter-in-law's words, tears welled in Fu's mother's eyes: "Third son, you are confused."

Fu's mother, so agitated, nearly fell. Chuxue hurried forward to support her: "Mom, let me take you back to your room to rest first. Let Dad handle Third Brother's matter."

Guo Wenjing also came to her senses and hurried forward to help: "Mom, come on, we'll accompany you back to your room."

As she spoke these words, tears kept swirling in Guo Wenjing's eyes.

Once inside the room where her in-laws lived, Guo Wenjing spoke first: "Mom, don't be angry about what I just said. After being sisters-in-law with Yurong for so many years, though she has many small faults, she is one who cares for the small family. I couldn't hold back for a moment and spoke up on her behalf."

Fu's mother patted her eldest daughter-in-law's hand: "I understand, I understand. You are right. He was indeed too outrageous. Just wait; there will be a day he regrets this."

In the adjacent main hall, Fu's father made Fu Yan Hong write a guarantee letter. It stated that henceforth, regardless of whether he married or not, one-third of his monthly wages after starting work must be deposited into Fu Fu Jinyi's account until the child marries.

Additionally, starting now, he must pay six yuan monthly for Fu Jinyi's upbringing, with an adjustment made once every year thereafter, until Fu Jinyi begins working.

Fu Yan Hong, feeling indebted to his daughter, naturally agreed.

Three copies of the guarantee letter were made. Once written, Fu's father directly drove him out of the house.

Handing one copy of the guarantee letter to Fu Yan Cheng, he said: "Fourth son, take this to Yurong. This is the greatest benefit I, as a grandfather, could secure for Fu Jinyi. It is my failure to educate the third son well that caused him to suffer these things at such a young age."

Fu Yan Cheng took it: "Dad, rest assured. We will look after Fu Jinyi more in the future."

Hearing these words, Fu's father felt somewhat better: "Very well, go about your business now."

After Fu Yan Cheng and Chuxue left the Fu family home, they first returned to their own house and gave the guarantee letter Fu Yan Hong had written to Zhang Yurong: "Sister Yurong, take it. This is Dad's compensation for Fu Jinyi."

Zhang Yurong did not expect her in-laws to go this far for her and Fu Jinyi. She regretted not having properly cared for her in-laws before: "Chuxue, your in-laws are good people. In the future..."
