Chapter 293: Can't You Be Reasonable?

Hao Yanhong felt her temper rise at his tone: "Fu Yanwei, can you show some sense?"

Fu Yanwei saw her posture and knew she was looking for trouble: "Yanhong, regarding Big Brother going to the farm to see Little Sister, I truly didn't know. But even so, aren't you clear on why Big Brother went to the farm?"

A hint of awkwardness flashed across Hao Yanhong's face: "The farm is less than two li from Huagu Village. As Big Brother, if she can go to the farm to see Little Sister, why can't she come to see you, her younger brother?"

Fu Yanwei was truly regretful now; he had been completely out of his mind back then, refusing to listen to a single word of advice from his family, insisting on following her down to the countryside: "Yanhong, can you be reasonable?

Mom didn't write a letter or make a call, but I guess she knew the money didn't reach Little Sister's hands; otherwise, Big Brother wouldn't have made this trip.

I know your intentions, but if Big Brother really comes to Huagu Village, I'm afraid our reputations will be ruined too. After all, a biological brother and sister-in-law embezzling their sister's living allowance is not something to brag about, no matter how you spin it."

Seeing her husband not on her side, Hao Yanhong immediately changed the subject: "I am carrying the flesh and blood of your Fu family now. Doesn't he know what kind of life we live in the countryside? He's right at our doorstep and won't even come over for a look?"

Fu Yanwei suddenly felt annoyed: "Does it make sense for you to say that? Since I came down to the countryside, my family has unfailingly sent ten yuan and a package every month. It's been seven years; what more do you want from my family?"

"Shouldn't they send it? They all have jobs and are doing very well, while we are stuck here for seven years. Clearly, your family has the ability to get us back to Huicheng, but they just won't do it. Do you think I shouldn't care?"

"Hao Yanhong, you married me, not my family. Don't you know why I came down to the countryside in the first place?"

"Regardless of the reason you came down to the countryside, you contributed to the Fu family. After all, if you hadn't come down, it would have been someone else. You said before that the family would find a way, so fine, I waited. But we waited until our son was five, and now I'm pregnant with our second child. How much longer do you want me to wait?

Every time you go home, don't you see what kind of life the children of the eldest and third branches live?"

Hearing these words, Fu Yanwei truly felt uneasy. For him, he had given up the job his parents had painstakingly found for him to follow Hao Yanhong down to the countryside. Over these years, his family had done everything humanly possible for him; after all, he was already a father, yet he still relied on their subsidies.

But what Hao Yanhong said wasn't without reason; of course, he wasn't talking about his family, but about the children.

They were all Fu family children. With his son growing up in the countryside with them, he indeed lacked the experience of the children in Big Brother's and Third Brother's households, which was obvious every time they went home for the New Year: "How about we send Jinze back to the city to live with Mom and Dad?"

Hearing this, Hao Yanhong froze right there: "Jinze is so young. Without us accompanying him, do you think our son can be happy?"

What she wanted was to go back together; what kind of situation would it be if only the son went back?

The mother-in-law already disliked her daughter-in-law, and Jinze hadn't grown up by their side, so there would surely be bias. Besides, without parents around, not to mention whether the child could adapt, she herself wouldn't feel at ease.

Fu Yanwei raised his hand and scratched his head: "This won't work, that won't work either. What exactly do you want?"

Hao Yanhong also lost her temper: "Do you not know what I want?

I want to go back to Huicheng, not just the son, but you and me too. I want my child to grow up in the Fu family like the children of Big Brother and Third Brother, benefiting from the family's legacy and enjoying their rightful share.
