Chapter 285: I Will Definitely Not Betray You

After Fu Yanwan finished speaking, she looked at her eldest brother, who was eating leisurely, and waited for him to clarify things for her.

Fu Yanming nodded. "Indeed, we just started dating, so I haven't mentioned it to the family yet."

"But how did those people find out?"

"This matter is indeed suspicious, but I've been on a business trip here these past few days, so I'm not clear on what happened afterward. However, given Mom's caution, she should have told your fourth brother that you woke up."

"Are you saying someone is deliberately causing trouble?"

"We can't rule out that possibility."

Fu Yanwan was somewhat puzzled and was about to ask something else when her eldest brother said, "Enough. Your fourth brother will handle this matter. The words we heard earlier might have been referring to your fourth brother."

Fu Yanwan suddenly perked up: "Big Brother, do you think it's possible that my fourth brother's partner is also at this North Suburb Farm?"

Fu Yanming looked at his sister with amusement. "Are you trying to get the scoop a step ahead?"

"What's wrong with that? I'm dying to know what kind of Miss could make my fourth brother's iron tree bloom."

"Did you get a clear look at the couple in the pavilion?"

Fu Yanwan nodded hurriedly. "Yes, yes, yes. I took special care to look closely. Since they were resting there, they must be living nearby. Once I get the news, I'll share it with you, Big Brother, immediately."

"Aren't you afraid your fourth brother will scold you later?"

"I'm not afraid. Besides, I'm just curious; I'm not playing the villain to break up a couple."

"Fine, fine, fine. But don't be too obvious, or your future fourth sister-in-law might misunderstand. If she gets angry and dumps your fourth brother, he'll be furious."

"True. I really do need to be careful. I can't let people think I have ulterior motives. My fourth brother finally found a partner; I can't let him lose her because of me. If that happens, not only will my fourth brother not forgive me, but Mom, Dad, and Grandpa will probably settle the score with me too."

Yanwan asked about some other family matters before bringing up her frustrating second brother and second sister-in-law. "Big Brother, you have no idea. Fortunately, Grandpa didn't agree to let me go down to the countryside to my second brother's place. If I had really gone to the village, I would have been driven to death by their anger long ago."

"After you went down to the countryside, how many times did your second brother and second sister-in-law come to visit you?"

"Don't mention it. That wasn't a visit to see me; it was clearly just to mooch off us."

"What?"

"Big Brother, don't disbelieve me. I can't even believe how my second brother turned into that kind of person. Everything is decided by my second sister-in-law. Last time, Mom asked him to bring me some money and things, but I didn't see a single hair of it. Isn't that infuriating?"

Fu Yanming didn't expect the resentment between his youngest sister and the second brother's couple to be so great. This was not a good sign. It seemed he would have to make a special trip to the second brother's place later when he had time to see if that kid had lost his mind.

The brother and sister chatted until there were hardly any people left in the restaurant. Only then did Fu Yanming escort his sister back to the Ding Zhiqing point. "I won't go in. If you encounter any problems you can't solve later, go find Uncle Zhang."

After speaking, he handed over the handbag he was carrying. "This is what Mom prepared for you."

Then he took thirty yuan out of his pocket. "This includes the living expenses Mom gave you to supplement your funds. The rest is from Big Brother. Keep it safe."

Fu Yanwan didn't expect the amount Big Brother gave to be more than what her own mother gave. She felt a surge of emotion. "Big Brother, did this money come from Big Sister, or did you dip into your private stash?"

Fu Yanming laughed outright. "Just take it if I give it to you. Why so many words?"

Seeing Big Brother's tone, Fu Yanwan knew Big Sister didn't know about this money. She laughed outright, then put her hand to her mouth. "Thank you, Big Brother. Rest assured, I will definitely not betray you."

After speaking, she ran away with a smile.

Knowing that Big Brother needed to take Uncle Zhang's car back to the city, she didn't want to delay his time any further. After all, since she was hitching a ride, it wouldn't be right to make them wait.
