Chapter 184: If You Don't Believe Me, Ask Him Personally Later

Liu Ruhua sobbed as she recounted the matter: "The teacher said that for this year's transition from primary to middle school, it won't be like before; we must tighten up. If we fail the exam, we can only go home and earn work points. I just wanted Chunxiao to lean her test paper out a bit during the exam so I could copy it, but Chunxiao actually refused."

Before she could finish speaking, she was pushed away by Liu Pozi.

Before Liu Pozi could even utter a curse, Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Liu took off his shoe and struck directly: "You brainless fool, how dare you say such things recklessly?"

Liu Ruhua had no defense at all and was hit solidly: "Grandpa, why are you hitting me?"

This remark enraged Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Liu even more. He was already holding back his anger, and now he had finally found an outlet. He grabbed his granddaughter's arm with one hand and used the other to hold the shoe, striking with loud "smack, smack" sounds: "I told you not to learn bad ways. The family spent money sending you to school, yet you actually thought of deceiving people?

Just wait, I'll beat you to death, you wretch."

It was Liu Shangan, who had just returned from the clinic escorting brothers Liu Jianqiang and his sibling to change their dressings, who heard this and stepped in to stop him: "Dad, why are you hitting her for no reason?"

Xiao Xiao Laoyezi Liu was indeed tired from hitting. He stopped his hand and pointed at Liu Ruhua's head: "You ask her what she did?"

Liu Ruhua realized her mistake now; how could she dare speak again? She feared her father would beat her too.

Seizing the moment while they were unprepared, she wiped her tears and fled through the door.

Since everyone had run off, the exhausted Liu Shangan didn't want to ask what had happened anymore; he just wanted to go back to his room and rest.

Now that the family had completely split up, everyone except the youngest daughter had some injury. These past few days, the family hadn't worked much. If this continued, forget about repaying debts; even eating would be a problem.

Thinking again of the words he had heard at the village entrance just now, he grew more and more annoyed the more he thought about it.

Capital City

Today, Fu Yan Cheng's parents brought the whole family back to the Military District Compound: "Dad/Grandpa, we're back."

Xiao Laoyezi Fu saw them enter and greeted them with a smile: "Ah, Fu Yan Cheng wasn't on duty today, right? Why haven't I seen him?"

Before they could reply, Fu's eldest uncle's wife, who had just walked out of the kitchen, said: "Exactly, why hasn't he come over? I was going to introduce a Miss for him to meet."

Fu's mother didn't think her sister-in-law would introduce any good Miss to her son: "Thank you for your trouble, Big Sister, but Fu Yan Cheng already has a partner. You should introduce her to someone else."

"He has a partner? You aren't just fooling me, are you?"

"He went to show affection to his partner today, which is why he didn't come back with us."

"What a coincidence?"

Xiao Laoyezi Fu was also somewhat suspicious: "Is he really dating someone?"

Fu's mother nodded: "Dad, it's true."

The old man was happy now: "Which family's Miss is she?"

Fu's mother sighed: "I asked, but that boy said we'd know once he brings her over later."

"I just said how could it be such a coincidence. You don't even know who his partner is, yet you say you aren't fooling me. I am Fu Yan Cheng's eldest uncle's wife; how could I harm him? Don't forget we are all Fu family members; we prosper together or perish together."

"Big Sister, I have no need to lie about this. If you don't believe me, ask him personally later."

The old man waved his hand: "Enough, enough. Since Fu Yan Cheng found a partner himself, find a time to bring her over to meet the family. Fu Yan Cheng is not young anymore; if it's suitable, finalize the engagement."

"Understood. I'll tell him later."

Fu's eldest sister-in-law rolled her eyes: "Don't let him just find someone random later to fool the old man."

If it weren't for accompanying her husband to visit the old man, she really wouldn't want to come back and see Big Sister's face. Since marrying into the Fu family, this Big Sister had always been competing with her. She really didn't know what this brain of hers was thinking every day.

She still remembered the year she first entered the Fu family. When she gave birth to the Fu family's first grandson, that arrogant attitude is still clear in her memory.

Later, after she gave birth to the eldest, Fu Yanming, things quieted down. But then she and Big Sister got pregnant with their second children at the same time. She gave birth to a son, while Big Sister gave birth to a daughter. After that, Big Sister spent all day criticizing others by hinting at them. The competition between the two, no, rather Big Sister's one-sided competition, officially began then.
