Chapter 279: Apart from Not Having an Urban Household Registration, In What Way Is She Inferior to Those City People?

Someone grew anxious and quickly spoke up to advise: "Miss Fu Yanwan, this matter is indeed Gong Ling'er's fault; she shouldn't have touched your personal belongings without your permission. Let her apologize to you; do you think that's acceptable?"

Another person chimed in: "Yes, Miss Fu Yanwan, we are all Ding Zhiqing; we absolutely cannot disregard the bigger picture. It's not necessary to escalate this to the Field Office."

Fu Yan Cheng, although the most steady-tempered among the brothers, was also angered by these two's words: "Shut your mouths! Since the needle hasn't pricked your own flesh, what right do you have to say it's not necessary?"

Having finished speaking, he took his own younger sister's hand: "Let's go. Big Brother will take you to seek justice."

Fu Yan Cheng did not want to waste any more words on them.

Seeing them turn away, Sun Juanjuan also hurried to catch up: "I'll go with you."

Gong Ling'er was truly panicked this time; she didn't need to act anymore and cried out directly in fear: "Miss Fu Yanwan, if my family wasn't so extremely poor, I wouldn't have done such a shameful thing. I beg you, please give me another chance."

Fu Yanwan had not intended to endure any further, especially with her own big brother present, so she hesitated not at all and led her big brother toward the Field Office: "Big Brother, why did you come over today?"

Having just asked, she thought of something, turned her head, and said with a look of grievance: "I already told Mom before; please never let Second Brother bring things for me again. Now his heart and eyes are all on his wife and son; how could he still remember me, his younger sister?"

"Enough, stop complaining. Mom has sent me here, and this time she is truly disappointed in your Second Brother. If it weren't for the fact that your Second Sister-in-law is pregnant again, she wouldn't want to send them that ten yuan every month."

"What? Pregnant again? I truly admire these two. They can't even support themselves, so why have children?"

"Enough. You are just a young girl; you don't need to worry your head over these matters."

As the two siblings were talking, they heard people speaking in the pavilion ahead: "Today the eldest branch is cooking, so let's rest here for a while before leaving; as long as we make it home in time for dinner."

"Miss Liu Chuxue has her graduation exam today; I wonder how she did?"

"If you are worried, I can climb the mountain tomorrow morning and go to my father-in-law's place."

"No need. Working a whole day is already tiring enough; why bother with all that trouble? With her intelligence, I assume there won't be any problem. I also wonder if she can pass the exam to become a teacher at the village school; it would be wonderful if she could."

"Don't worry so much. She has a boyfriend; I think Fu Yan Cheng cares quite a lot about her. It's possible she'll marry into his family before long."

"What nonsense are you talking? Miss Liu Chuxue isn't even eighteen yet. Besides, this matter hasn't even started. He is from the city, while Second Sister is just a country girl; their backgrounds don't match. I'm afraid Miss Liu Chuxue will be looked down upon if she marries there."

"What kind of words are those? What's wrong with my sister-in-law? She graduated from high school, is beautiful, and capable. Apart from not having an urban household registration, in what way is she inferior to those city people?"

Xia Qiu heard these words and laughed directly: "You sound exactly like my father."

"I am speaking the truth. Miss Liu Chuxue is capable. Just look at how she achieved such great merit without becoming arrogant; she is no simple person. If the Fu family disagrees because of her identity, that is their loss. With Miss Liu Chuxue's personality, she is someone who can take responsibility and let go; she won't wrong herself. Don't worry."

Fu Yan Cheng and Fu Yanwan heard this conversation and stopped in their tracks. The two siblings looked together toward the pavilion, then exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.

This left Sun Juanjuan, who was following behind them, looking completely bewildered.
