Chapter 1838: Look at the Mess You've Made
No one expected this little one to be so logically clear, laying out the accusation with perfect clarity.
Upon hearing their little cousin's words, the triplets turned directly to their father. Fu Bao shouted loudly, "Why does Uncle say the same thing as Dad?"
Guo Wenjing didn't catch on at first and asked casually, "What's the same?"
At this, Kangbao, who usually spoke little, looked up and said, "No one can provoke his wife, not even us, or we get spanked and made to stand in military posture."
That little expression was so serious, and the words he spoke, that everyone was once again doubled over with laughter.
Even Chuxue was laughing so hard her body shook, occasionally casting little glances at Fu Yan Cheng, who had been betrayed by his son and was now frowning with a dark face.
Fu Yan Cheng had been angry, but seeing his wife laugh like that, a smile spread across his brows and eyes. He said to his son and daughter, "Since you little ones are so unwilling to give your father face, I think we'll just forget about the promise to go to Taoran Pavilion to ride the ice sleds."
This left the triplets stunned. Fu Bao and Kangbao hadn't expected a few words to have such serious consequences. Then they looked at Lebao, who hadn't participated at all. Hearing he couldn't ride the ice sleds, Lebao's eyes turned red with urgency.
Kangbao took a small step forward, looking up at Fu Yan Cheng: "Dad, Second Sister didn't say it. Let Second Sister go."
Fu Bao also caught on: "Yes, let Sister go."
Lebao stood between her older brother and younger brother, her voice firm yet milk-sweet: "We all go together."
Seeing his daughter's eyes turn red, Fu Yan Cheng's heart ached. He quickly picked her up: "Dad didn't say you can't go."
But the little one wouldn't accept it and repeated, "We all go together."
Fearing her father might disagree, Lebao kissed Fu Yan Cheng on the cheek, then blinked her big eyes and said softly, "Dad, we all go together."
Fu Yan Cheng, a total daughter slave, how could he refuse? "Fine, fine, fine. I'll listen to my daughter and take along those two ungrateful sons who undermine me and leak wind."
But no sooner had he said this than Fu Mother spoke up first: "Can't you speak properly? Where are Fu Bao and Kangbao ungrateful?"
Chuxue squatted down and pulled her two sons into her arms: "Exactly. Stop talking nonsense. Fu Bao and Kangbao are nothing like what you say."
Fu Yan Cheng didn't want to anger his wife, and he was also afraid his words had been too harsh and might truly hurt his sons.
So he bent down, pulled them out of Chuxue's arms, and held all three little ones in his embrace: "Come on, Dad needs to have a proper talk with you."
Watching the four of them, father and sons, leave the room, Ren Jiangfeng poked his own son on the forehead with a finger: "Look at the mess you've made."
Fu Mother quickly pulled her grandson into her arms: "My Guoqing was just speaking the truth. What's wrong with that?"
Seeing his mother-in-law defending him, Ren Jiangfeng could only reluctantly withdraw his hand.
Seeing his grandmother protecting him, the little one stuck his tongue out at his own father.
Fu Yanwan couldn't stand it anymore and glared at her son: "You just give it a rest."
Chuxue didn't care how the father and sons talked; she looked at Guo Wenjing and said, "Eldest Sister-in-law, let's go. What work is left in the kitchen?"
Remembering the fish she had brought back, Chuxue looked at her mother-in-law: "Mom, do we have pickled vegetables at home?"
Fu Mother picked up little Guoqing and smiled: "Yes. They're in that small jar in the corner of the kitchen."
Hearing their conversation, Fu Yanwan looked at Chuxue: "Fourth Sister-in-law, are you making pickled vegetable fish?"
Chuxue smiled and teased, "Yes. I knew you were craving that."
But this time, Fu Yanwan didn't say "Fourth Sister-in-law, you're the best" like before. Instead, she smiled and called out, "I guess Fourth Sister-in-law wants to eat it too."
