Chapter 368: Complaining

Hearing her daughter's words, Fu's mother's heart skipped a beat, and her first reaction was to look at her fourth son.

Indeed, Fu Yan Cheng also looked at her: "What cured fish?"

Father Fu had never concerned himself with household trifles and knew nothing of this matter: "What is going on?"

Fu's mother knew the truth could not be hidden forever, so she said: "Previously, Chuxue brought quite a lot of fish back for the fourth son. Since the quantity was large, the eldest daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law cured them into preserved fish. Then the second son came home once and said his wife was pregnant, so he packed it all up.

I disagreed, but he said he would give some to Xiao Wan so she could have a little extra food during her breaks. I thought my daughter, having just gone to the countryside, would struggle to eat well, so I believed him. But that rascal actually didn't send any to Xiao Wan."

Fu Yanwan knew her second brother well; he certainly wouldn't withhold her things. Without asking, she knew it was her second sister-in-law, Hao Yanhong, who had blocked it, so she went straight to complain: "Dad, you don't know how selfish they are. They didn't even give me the living expenses Mom asked Second Brother to bring for me.

If I hadn't called home, the whole family would still be in the dark."

He knew the living expenses hadn't reached his daughter's hands, but he didn't know about the withheld cured fish. Thinking of the second daughter-in-law, his face grew cold.

Back then, he had used many favors to finally secure a job for the second son, but the boy turned around and told the family he had signed up to go to the countryside. It was false to say he wasn't angry, but the child was grown, and he didn't want to interfere too much.

Later, he found out that the rascal had gone to the countryside for the sake of a Miss.

What made people angriest was that when they were discussing marriage, the second daughter-in-law shamelessly claimed that the second son going to the countryside was to solve the family's hundred worries, that the family owed him, and that compensation was mandatory.

If the second son hadn't pleaded and promised to keep an eye on her in the future so she wouldn't cause trouble in the house, he certainly wouldn't have let such a woman into the Fu family.

Seeing his daughter's angry little expression, he said: "Alright, if it wasn't sent, it wasn't sent. It's not worth getting angry over this."

After speaking, he glanced casually at Fu Yan Cheng. Seeing his expression hadn't changed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, those things were given by the fourth son's fiancée; what did it matter that the second son took it all in one visit home?

Most importantly, when the second son's family came back for New Year last year, his utterly clueless daughter-in-law insisted on introducing her classmate to the fourth son.

When the fourth son refused, she still brought the woman home. That woman had no shame; she even pretended to trip and fall toward the fourth son. How could the fourth son let her succeed? He jumped straight behind the sofa.

The woman couldn't stop herself and fell straight to the ground. As she fell, her forehead hit the coffee table, and she immediately started bleeding.

Because of this, the second daughter-in-law had a huge fight with the fourth son, but the fourth son simply beat up the second son, and only then did things settle down.

Since then, the second son has held some resentment toward the fourth son, and the fourth son looks down on the second son; in any case, a rift has formed between the two brothers.

Since they still had to return to the city, they didn't stay long.

Originally, Yanwan wanted to cut open the watermelon and let them have a few slices before leaving, but no one agreed.

Fu Yan Cheng pointed at the watermelon: "It's hot and won't keep. Keep a small half for yourself, and divide the rest among the educated youths you get along with well, or not."

Having grown up spoiled by the family, seeing her family leave, the emotions of a young girl immediately surfaced: "Mom, Dad, Fourth Brother, when will you come to see me again?"

Fu Yan Cheng, seeing her pitiful look, suddenly thought of something: "Your fourth sister-in-law's elder sister, Liu Xia Qiu, married into the nearby Guangming Village. Now Guangming Village has also been assigned to the North Suburb Farm. If you encounter problems you can't solve, you can go find her."
