Chapter 1797: Your Plan Is Likely Not Going to Work

On the way back, Liu Chuxue took a detour to call Fu Yan Cheng; when the line connected, she said, "Fu Yan Cheng, it's me."

"Wife, why are you calling? Is it snowing in the city?"

"It is, and quite heavily. I just saw Mom off. I'm calling to tell you something."

"What is it? Did you put on a thick coat? It's snowing so hard; don't freeze."

"I did, don't worry. I'm not stupid."

"Alright, I misspoke. Tell me what it is, then head home right away. Don't freeze."

"Mom said Yanjing from Uncle's eldest branch is getting engaged next weekend. She wants us to go if we have time. Do you have time?"

Fu Yan Cheng laughed: "Even if I don't have time, I must. She's the only one left in the family who isn't married. A cousin is still a brother; naturally, I must go to support her."

"Alright then. I have nothing else. If you're free, hang up."

"The roads are slippery from the snow. If it keeps snowing tomorrow, don't take the three little ones to the Yu Hong Class."

"Understood."

"The roads will definitely be slippery tomorrow. Be careful getting to school yourself. If it's really too much, let Song Sanrui take you on the tricycle."

Hearing him say that, Liu Chuxue suddenly laughed: "If I slip walking, won't he slip riding the tricycle?"

As she spoke, imagining herself on a tricycle sliding along the road, she couldn't help but shiver.

Fu Yan Cheng also paused for a moment, then laughed out loud: "I was just worried and lost my head. You're laughing at me."

"Alright, everything at home is fine. Don't worry. Phone calls are expensive; I'm hanging up."

Fu Yan Cheng wanted to say more, but the call was already cut off.

He was still holding the phone up when a burst of laughter came from outside the door: "Who's out there? Get in here!"

After a while, Ma Wuliang was the first one pushed inside: "Regiment Commander Fu, we didn't mean to eavesdrop on your call. We just happened to come to discuss something with you."

Fu Yan Cheng swept a cold gaze over the few people behind him; his expression clearly conveyed, "Do you think I believe you?"

However, having just received a call from his beloved wife, Fu Yan Cheng was in a very good mood, so he spared them from punishment.

On the other side, at the Fu family's eldest branch, Fu's eldest aunt was talking to her own daughter: "Yanjing, once the engagement banquet is over, the wedding day will be here in the blink of an eye. I've asked around; the Luo family seems quite kind. After you marry, you two should live well."

"I've already told your Second Aunt and the others to have your cousins all come back for the engagement. With them here, I believe the Luo family will think twice before acting in the future. Rest assured, even if your older brother and sister-in-law can't be relied upon, with your cousins here, the Luo family will definitely not dare to treat you badly."

Fu Yanjing nodded gently: "Mom, you don't need to worry about me. Luo Congjun told me that once his younger brother gets married, the family will split up. He also said he will protect me in the future and won't let me be bullied."

Fu's eldest aunt continued arranging things while speaking: "As for your dowry, Mom prepared some for you long ago. With the additions from your older sister and the others, plus your Second Uncle and your cousins, no one will look down on you."

Fu Yanjing's nose turned very sour: "Mom, Congjun said their home is right near my fourth cousin's house. Now you can rest easy, right? My fourth cousin's wife is a good person. If anything really happens, she will definitely help me."

Hearing this, Fu's eldest aunt said: "You probably don't know yet; your fourth cousin and his family have moved."

Fu Yanjing looked utterly confused: "Moved? Where did they move to?"

Fu's eldest aunt spoke up: "Your fourth sister-in-law has to take care of the children and attend school. Since the commute took too long, they found a place near the school and moved there a few days ago. Your plan is likely not going to work."
