Chapter 189: Just to Tell Their Family My Sister Is Not Someone They Can Bully

Liu's mother, seeing her eldest daughter and son-in-law eating with Fu Yan Cheng, pulled Liu Chuxue aside: "Comrade Fu has done our family a huge favor. If you make him make a special trip to send your sister and brother-in-law back, isn't that a bit..."

Liu Chuxue knew what Liu's mother wanted to say: "You know it too. We are dating. She has to curry favor with her future sister-in-law and brother-in-law."

Liu's mother, struck by her second daughter's blunt words, didn't know what to say.

Actually, Liu Chuxue sometimes didn't quite like Liu's mother's personality either; she was always hesitant and overthinking. But the good thing was that she listened to advice: "Alright, don't worry about this. If he pushes it aside for such a small thing, or holds a grudge against our family afterward, we might as well break up."

"We three sisters have no brothers now, so these sons-in-law are half-sons to the family. If we haggle over them doing a little favor, it's better to break up sooner rather than later."

Although they spoke quietly, Fu Yan Cheng, who always had keen hearing, still caught most of it.

Seeing Liu's mother still wanted to say something, Liu Chuxue went straight for the big move: "My brother-in-law has been helping at our home for several days already. Although this is what a son-in-law should do, the Qiu family hasn't split the household, so my sister and brother-in-law haven't earned work points these days. Even if Qiu's great-grandmother is a fair person, she can't avoid others in the family speaking sarcastically to her when she returns."

"I asked Fu Yan Cheng to send them back just to tell their family that my sister is not someone they can bully."

Seeing Liu's mother about to put on her self-blaming expression again, Liu Chuxue quickly changed the subject: "They are leaving soon. I'll go pack some things for my sister to take back."

After speaking, she ran lightly into the house.

By the time she came out again, the three of them had already finished eating.

She handed a bundle to Qiu Shaofeng: "Brother-in-law, my sister is pregnant. It's best to switch her to lighter work from now on. These are snacks I prepared to nourish her body. Please carry them for my sister."

Then she carried four large fish out from the west wing: "Brother-in-law, take two back to nourish everyone with some oil and grease. Fu Yan Cheng, you take two back too, as my token of thanks."

Qiu Shaofeng originally wanted to refuse; who eats and takes at the same time? But Liu Chuxue held him back: "Take it. You can stand taller when you get back."

With words said to this extent, even a fool like Qiu Shaofeng knew this was his sister-in-law subtly admonishing him.

But thinking of his own family's situation, he couldn't blame his sister-in-law for the subtle sarcasm. His second cousin's wife was indeed not easy to deal with, and his second cousin just happened to be unable to control her.

To put it plainly, it was because the second cousin's wife felt her maiden family had better conditions than their Qiu family. The eldest sister-in-law's father was a small manager at the farm, so the second sister-in-law had some reservations. But their daughter-in-law's parents were just villagers, not to mention they had no brothers in the family, so naturally she felt superior.

This sister-in-law was not simple; having only been to their home twice, she had seen through everyone's true nature clearly.

Not wanting her sister to get tired was true, but supporting her sister was the real purpose.

Liu's mother saw them off to the vehicle and stood by the car giving instructions to her eldest daughter: "Once the house-warming date is set, I'll have someone send you a message. When you get back, ask Shaofeng to help speak to the team leader about switching to lighter work."

Taking advantage of the moment while they were talking, Liu Chuxue walked to the driver's side on the other end: "Drive slowly, and thank you."

Unexpectedly, Fu Yan Cheng said: "I am heading toward marriage. A son-in-law is half a son. If there is anything at home in the future, you can call on me."

Hearing him say this, Liu Chuxue knew that what she had said to Liu's mother earlier must have been overheard by this guy.

She couldn't help but glance toward the back seat, wondering if her brother-in-law had heard it?
