Chapter 265: Mom Is Truly Angry This Time

After hanging up the phone, Guo Wenjing asked tentatively, "Did Yanwei not take the things over to Little Sister?"

Fu's mother's face looked very displeased. "The second son is truly becoming more and more unruly."

Guo Wenjing was also unhappy in her heart; after all, her mother-in-law had just said she would still need to send money to her sister-in-law tomorrow, yet she knew she had no standing to be unhappy. "Mom, my Yanming is going on a business trip to Changping these few days. I'll ask about his schedule in a moment. If he can make the trip, it would be just right to go see Xiao Wan."

Hearing this, Fu's mother's expression improved somewhat. She nodded and said, "Alright, it is time to go see her."

She had already decided: if her eldest son had no time, she would take leave and go herself, not only to see her little daughter but also to check on that second daughter-in-law who was always causing trouble.

She knew that without Hao Yanhong's instigation, the second son would absolutely not dare to do such a thing.

After taking a deep breath, she said, "Let's cook first; the family should be back soon."

Back then, a job had already been arranged for the second son, but he insisted on making a fuss and going to the countryside. No matter what, he had contributed to the family; after all, with so many children in the house, someone had to go to the countryside, so they sent him ten yuan every month. But who would have thought the second son would become so utterly unreliable.

As for the little daughter, there was no other way; she was her only daughter, and moreover, the daughter born after having four sons. She and her husband cherished her greatly, but with so many people watching their family, the daughter, to avoid putting the family in a difficult position, volunteered to go to the countryside.

After the second daughter-in-law learned that the sister-in-law received ten yuan from the family every month, just like them, she even made a special trip back, claiming the parents were biased.

Only after she had been scolded by me did she finally behave herself.

Now she thinks she is pregnant again and is trying to pull another trick to manipulate us. She really is dreaming. I'd like to see what she plans to do.

When Guo Wenjing went out, she turned and said to Fu's mother, "Mom, I just bought a jin of milk candy. I'll set some aside later to take over for her."

Fu's mother nodded. "You are thoughtful. I'll thank Xiao Wan on your behalf."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stepped out into the courtyard just as the eldest son, Fu Yanming, returned. "Eldest, I heard your wife say you are going on a business trip to Changping these few days?"

"Yes. A machine at the machinery factory over there broke down. Many technicians went over but couldn't fix it. They appealed to our factory director, and the director asked me to go help the brother unit take a look."

"When will you go?"

"Mom, why do you ask?"

At this, his wife Guo Wenjing spoke up. "It's just that Mom is worried about Little Sister. If it's convenient for you, help the family make the trip; you can take some things over to Little Sister along the way."

"Alright. The county town isn't too far from the North Suburb Farm. Once I finish my business, I'll make a special trip there. I've missed Xiao Wan too."

He said as much, but he noticed his own mother was unhappy. So, after returning to their room, he asked his wife, who had followed in right behind him, "What's wrong with Mom?"

"You noticed?"

He nodded, waiting for his wife to explain.

Guo Wenjing glanced outside, lowered her voice, and said, "Didn't the second son come back a few days ago? He insisted on taking the entire pot of cured fish from the house. He even told Mom he would share some with Little Sister, but in the end, not only did he not give Little Sister any cured fish, he didn't even deliver the living expenses Mom asked him to take over."

"Did Little Sister call back?"

"Truly worthy of being the eldest brother; one guess and he hits the mark."

"Little Sister is so favored at home. Mom never delays sending money. If she hadn't received the remittance, given Little Sister's temperament, she wouldn't have failed to ask."

"I think Mom is truly angry this time. Just you wait; next time the second son comes back and tries to take advantage, it will be difficult."
