Chapter 648: Look at the Mess You've Made

Zhang Yurong heard her eldest sister-in-law's words, first stared blankly for a moment, then pouted: "It's not like I did something utterly heinous; besides, I was just trying to let them build some rapport."

Guo Wenjing saw that her third sister-in-law was still being so stubborn: "Alright, it's getting late, let's start cooking."

As soon as she finished speaking, she looked up and saw Fu's mother walking through the main gate: "Mom, you're back."

She hurriedly stepped forward a few paces: "How is the fourth one?"

She had naturally heard what the two daughters-in-law said just now; the reason the third daughter-in-law acted this way was likely still angry that the fourth one looked down on her cousin.

But when a family faces trouble, they should be united; no matter what, that is Fu Yan Hong's own younger brother; he shouldn't have ignored it and pushed the responsibility onto a future sister-in-law who hasn't even married into the Fu family yet.

Zhang Yurong might have felt a bit guilty, calling out weakly: "Mom."

Fu's mother had been rushing all day and was somewhat exhausted; she looked at her eldest daughter-in-law: "I'm a bit tired; you cook, and call me when it's ready."

Having finished speaking, she walked straight into the room.

Guo Wenjing naturally saw that her mother-in-law was in a bad mood; she opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but Fu's mother had already walked a distance.

After the person entered the room, Guo Wenjing turned a cold face toward Zhang Yurong: "Look at the mess you've made."

Zhang Yurong glanced toward her mother-in-law's room door: "Eldest sister-in-law, Mom is tired; what does that have to do with me?"

Guo Wenjing was too lazy to talk to her anymore; she tied on her apron and entered the kitchen.

When Fu Yan Ming and Fu Yan Hong returned, they felt the atmosphere was a bit off; the two brothers exchanged a glance and both looked at their own wives.

Zhang Yurong naturally had no face to say what she had done.

Guo Wenjing had no choice but to speak first, recounting the whole matter exactly as it happened.

After hearing what his own wife had foolishly done, Fu Yan Hong said: "Normally, I can tolerate your fussiness, but is this something worth fussing over?"

As he spoke, he angrily threw the clothes in his hands onto the ground: "Zhang Yurong, you've taken advantage of the fourth one plenty of times normally; how come, when trouble arises, you push him out? Do you think I'm dead?"

Fu's mother was awakened by the commotion; hearing her third son's words, she felt somewhat better in her heart.

She got up, put on her shoes, opened the door, and came out: "Alright, the matter has already happened; saying anything won't help. Before, your father and I had already agreed that once the fourth one marries, we will split the household; you don't need to fear that the fourth one will one day become a burden to you."

As soon as these words came out, the two brothers were greatly frightened; they said in unison: "Mom, we never meant that."

Fu's mother still understood the characters of her sons; naturally, she knew they had no other intentions; seeing their anxious appearance as they explained, the knot in her heart loosened considerably: "The fourth one's profession means he isn't that stable; brothers should naturally share the same boat in times of trouble. This incident left me very dissatisfied; if I discover you playing schemes at critical moments again, then get out of the Fu family."

Fu Yan Hong knew his mother was warning him, warning his branch of the family; with a face full of guilt, he said: "Mom, rest assured, there won't be a next time."

He could allow Zhang Yurong to throw her little tantrums normally, but he could not tolerate her playing tricks in matters of right and wrong; if she refused to accept this, then there was no need to continue living this life, after all, the family's current prestige came largely from the fourth one, and the family members had benefited greatly from him.

When there was no benefit to be gained, they were brothers; when there was trouble, they shrank back; just this incident made him feel too ashamed to face the fourth one.
