Chapter 486: Is There Something Wrong with Their Brain

Seeing it was getting late, Hao Yanhong hurriedly gave a few instructions before heading out: "Go next door to Qiuhong's house and bring our son back, tidy him up, and change his clothes before you go."

Saying that, she went out the door.

Though she worried about Fu Yanwei, she figured that was, after all, her in-laws' own son—no matter how angry they got, they should still keep some sense of propriety.

Then, remembering that her fourth brother's partner was from the village, she unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that even if her in-laws never favored her, at least she was from the city, and her maiden family also had an urban household registration, so her status was finally no longer at the very bottom.

Since they were engaged, the matter was as good as nailed down, which put her in a much better mood.

Meanwhile, back in the dormitory, Seeing Fu Yanwan thought over what her second brother had said and felt even more furious.

But if she really went home and tattled, and her parents got so angry something happened to them, wouldn't she be the guilty one? Better to tell her eldest brother first and let him deal with the headache.

After deciding, she simply turned around and went out of the room again.

Sun Juanjuan saw her come back without even touching the bed, then turn around and leave again, and couldn't help asking: "Xiao Wan, where are you going?"

Fu Yanwan replied: "I'm going to the field office to make a phone call, then I'll head straight to work."

She was currently in charge of cutting pig grass—two back-baskets in the morning, two in the afternoon, only four work-points a day—so being a little late wouldn't draw anyone's attention, as long as she finished the task.

She was lucky; after dialing, it was her eldest brother Fu Yanming who picked up: "Hello, who's calling?"

She recognized her eldest brother's voice: "Big Brother, it's me, Yanwan."

"Xiao Wan, why are you calling?"

"Big Brother, is it convenient for you to talk? I have something to tell you."

Fu Yanming thought they'd only seen each other yesterday—what could be the big deal; "It's fine, go ahead."

"Big Brother, Second Brother came to find me today."

"What did he go over for?"

"He probably heard from people in the village that the family went to see him, so he rushed over to ask what was going on."

"Where did they take leave to go?"

"Where could they go?"

Fu Yanming caught on then: "I get it. You called on purpose—what happened?"

Fu Yanwan was a bit embarrassed to say it; after taking a deep breath: "My second sister-in-law's pregnancy was something they made up."

"What?"

"Big Brother, don't get angry yet. Think about how to break it to Mom and Dad in advance, so they won't be caught off guard later and get so angry something happens."

"They actually dared to use this to trick people—Second Brother is getting more and more outrageous."

"He wouldn't have had the nerve on his own—there's still my second sister-in-law."

After the siblings exchanged a few more pleasantries, Yanwan watched the time and hung up—phone calls really were too expensive, but she couldn't exactly send a telegram home about this.

But she hadn't been away long before someone stopped her: "Comrade Yanwan, why are you at the field office at this hour?"

Fu Yanwan didn't know this person, but since they'd greeted her, she couldn't be rude: "I came to take care of something, I'm about to start work, I'll be going now."

But the moment she took a step, the person raised a hand to block her: "Comrade Yanwan, I—I—I like you, I want to develop a revolutionary friendship with you."

Fu Yanwan, hearing this, immediately stepped back: "I'm sorry, I'm still young, I don't have any plans to look for a partner yet."

Most people, hearing this, would surely leave, but this person acted as if they couldn't understand: "I have four older sisters above me, and they're all married. I'm the only son in the family. If the two of us got together, life would definitely be good."

Fu Yanwan frowned at the person in front of her, thinking: Is there something wrong with their brain? Otherwise, how could they not understand plain words?
