Chapter 1799: Second Sister-in-law Is Pregnant

Fu Yan Cheng saw the older children waiting in the distance and understood everything: "They cannot be taken outside."

Hearing Fu Yan Cheng's words, Fu Jinfang jumped three feet high with joy: "Fourth Uncle, I promise we won't leave this courtyard gate; I'll just show them to my classmates. I didn't lie."

Liu Chuxue was talking with the eldest sister-in-law when she saw Jinfang leading the triplets aside; she immediately looked at Fu Yan Cheng.

Fu Yan Cheng saw her worry and hurried over to explain: "It's fine, they won't leave the courtyard. I'm watching them, so don't worry."

Today's engagement banquet, besides family members, only included a few neighbor aunts who came to help, and the rest were children who came to join the fun.

There was no fear of losing track of a few children.

Guo Wenjing, who was sharp-eyed, said to Jinyue and Jincheng, who were eating candy nearby: "You two go watch over Fu Bao and the others, so they don't get upset because they aren't familiar with your cousin Jinfang and start crying later."

The two children heard their mother's words, got off the stools, and said: "Understood."

Liu Chuxue smiled at the eldest sister-in-law; everything was understood without words.

Regarding the safety of the triplets, Liu Chuxue had always been very cautious.

Seeing the eldest brother had brought the vegetables back, Guo Wenjing and Liu Chuxue exchanged a glance and walked over together to help sort and wash the vegetables.

These days were not like the future, where one could simply go to a restaurant to eat; most people prepared several tables of food at home.

Everyone in the family had to pitch in, especially the wives from the main branch like them.

Fortunately, there were only three tables of food. Just as they started working, the eldest sister-in-law Ruan Simin arrived: "Yanzi will be here in a moment."

Liu Chuxue had heard Fu Yan Cheng say that Yanzi had only conceived after five years of marriage; she was about to speak when she heard the eldest sister-in-law Guo Wenjing say: "It wasn't easy for her to conceive this child; we shouldn't let her get her hands dirty."

Seeing that the cousin's wife had said so, Ruan Simin, the actual eldest sister-in-law, found it hard to say anything more: "Alright, there isn't much work anyway."

Guo Wenjing looked up, her hands still moving, and asked: "Will Yanting be back?"

Hearing the name of her own eldest sister-in-law, Ruan Simin's tone grew somewhat cold: "She said earlier that since Yanjing was getting engaged, she wouldn't be back until Yanjing's wedding. We received a call yesterday saying her workplace had an issue, so she probably can't get leave."

Upon hearing this, Guo Wenjing felt she had said too much.

Then the eldest sister-in-law Ruan Simin said: "Yanting has been married for nearly ten years and has only come back twice: once in the first year after her wedding to celebrate the New Year, and again when Yanzi got married. My colleague's younger sister also went to a southern island to join the military, and she often sends back dried seafood from there, but Yanting only brought a little on her first visit. She didn't bring anything even when Yanzi got married, saying it was hard to bring things with a child."

"It's not that I have an issue with her; it's just that my in-laws raised that daughter of hers for nothing."

As cousins-in-law from a different branch, they found it hard to respond to this.

Seeing the eldest sister-in-law's troubled expression, Liu Chuxue quickly changed the subject: "Eldest sister-in-law, the style of your sweater is really nice."

Guo Wenjing seamlessly picked up the conversation: "This style is especially popular this year. If you like it, I can teach you later."

Ruan Simin wasn't foolish either; she sensed they didn't want to hear about her family's troubles, so she didn't press the matter.

While they were talking, the second brother and second sister-in-law arrived at the courtyard with Jinze: "Sorry, we're late."

Hao Yanhong's face was full of smiles; seeing Fu's mother in the courtyard, she walked straight up and said: "Mom, today is truly a good day. I just went to the hospital with Yanwei for a checkup, and I'm pregnant."
