Chapter 1810: Human Patience Has Its Limits

Liu Chuxue waited until she was in the car before speaking: "Did good intentions backfire today?"

Fu Yan Cheng simply said: "Don't overthink it. Besides, I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing; it's a perfect opportunity to remind my eldest brother's wife of her place."

"Over the years, she has perfectly embodied the phrase 'escalating the offense'."

Liu Chuxue thought of what her mother-in-law had told her earlier: "Do you think my eldest brother's wife will bring up the past and demand that Fu Yanjing give up her job?"

Just now in the room, Fu Yanjing had quietly mentioned that for over half a year, Fu Yankun and his wife had been helping her younger brother find a job, but they still hadn't found a suitable one.

Fu Yan Cheng drove while replying: "Although Fu Yanjing appears shy, she is not someone without principles. Besides, with my eldest uncle and aunt present, you have nothing to worry about."

Liu Chuxue laughed: "Which eye of yours saw me worrying? I just don't want to get dragged into my eldest uncle's family drama."

What Liu Chuxue didn't expect was that her words came true. At that moment, in the Fu family's eldest branch, Ruan Simin actually brought it up: "Back then, Fu Yanjing caused my miscarriage; ultimately, Fu Yanjing was the one who wronged me.

As long as that job is transferred to my younger brother, the grudge between Fu Yanjing and me will be settled once and for all."

Fu's eldest uncle flew into a rage: "Do you think we are fools? It is true that Fu Yanjing was at fault back then, but that was also because you didn't watch your step. Furthermore, the child you miscarried back then was not only your own child but also a grandchild of the Fu family. You need not bring this up repeatedly in public. Does this mean this matter is never to be resolved?"

Seeing his father's expression, Fu Yankun knew his father was truly angry and quickly pulled Ruan Simin: "Are you sure you want to confront my parents head-on today?"

Ruan Simin naturally knew it was inappropriate to break relations today, but she had to get this job. If she couldn't find a suitable job for her younger brother, her own mother would force her to give up her position.

She was truly in a state of extreme anxiety now.

Fu's mother was completely disappointed in her daughter-in-law Ruan Simin. She felt she truly couldn't compare to her sister-in-law; her son had fewer children, and the children were not as sensible or filial.

But at this moment, her mind was clearer than ever before: "Human patience has its limits. If you dare to ruin Fu Yanjing's wedding tomorrow, you will move out."

Upon hearing this, not only the others, but even Fu's father was stunned for a moment, but he quickly chimed in: "Yes, what your mother means is what I mean.

You couple stop using our old age as leverage to manipulate us. I really don't fall for that. Even if the daughters are not the best, your mother and I still have four nephews; I don't believe they would abandon us."

This left Fu Yankun dumbfounded; what was the difference between this and his parents giving up on him?

He knew his parents' temperaments. If it really came to that, their small family's life would be hard to endure, after all, the couple had never contributed to household expenses before; his parents had been supporting them all along.

If relations broke down, wouldn't they have to support the family with their own wages from now on?

Fu Yankun quickly stopped his wife from speaking: "Enough. This is Liu Chuxue's gesture of goodwill toward her sister-in-law Fu Yanjing; let's not get involved."

Ruan Simin had wanted to argue further, but seeing the warning look in her husband's eyes, she didn't dare speak up again.

Fu's eldest uncle didn't listen to anything else they said; instead, he stood up and said to his daughter: "Fu Yanjing, come with me. Father has a few words he wants to say to you."
