Chapter 901: Luckily I Overslept; Otherwise Fourth Brother Would Have Been in Trouble

Early the next morning, Fu Yan Cheng got up early to tidy himself up. Seeing no movement from his sister's side, he approached the kitchen door: "Mom, Xiao Wan is still asleep, so I won't wake her. It's hard for her to come back and stay for a few days; let her rest well. I'll drop by Chuxue's place and take her to work on the way."

Speaking of work, he remembered Chuxue's instructions from last night: there was a specialty in the trunk for him to bring home. Just as he turned to get it, something occurred to him, and he changed his mind.

Fu's mother came out still holding a ladle: "Breakfast will be ready soon. Eat first before you go."

Fu Yan Cheng waved his hand: "I have official business today. I'll go over early, drop her off at work, and then handle my affairs."

Fu's mother looked worried: "How can you not eat breakfast?"

Fu Yan Cheng smiled broadly: "Don't worry. Xue'er has definitely prepared breakfast for me."

Guo Wenjing walked out of the room at that moment, smiling: "Mom, just rest assured. Your fourth daughter-in-law is a caring person; she wouldn't let her fourth brother go to work on an empty stomach."

Hearing this, Fu's mother smiled: "That girl Chuxue is a good one. I'm just hoping she'll enter the door soon."

Guo Wenjing smiled as she watched her brother-in-law leave the gate: "Soon, soon. After New Year's Eve, it'll be February. If they marry on May Day, there are only three months left."

Fu's mother turned back to the kitchen with a smile: "Yes. In February, we can find a person with full blessings to help them make the wedding quilts."

As the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, Zhang Yurong came in: "Mom, eldest sister-in-law, is there anything else to do?"

Fu's mother saw her third daughter-in-law enter: "Yurong, when will you bring back the cotton from the cotton tickets I gave you last time? We'll need cotton after the first lunar month ends."

Hearing the question, Zhang Yurong looked guilty: "Mom, it's just that the weather is cold and cotton is too scarce. I thought we'd only use it after the New Year, so I didn't compete with them for it. Rest assured, as soon as I go to work after the New Year, once cotton arrives, I'll definitely bring it back."

Guo Wenjing glanced at her third sister-in-law: When did she become so kind-hearted?

Although Fu's mother had her doubts, the words were not wrong; bringing back so much cotton would take up space: "Alright, just remember. We'll definitely need cotton in February. March is a single month; we can't delay matters."

Zhang Yurong quickly smiled: "Rest assured, I won't forget."

At that moment, Fu Yanwan's voice came from the yard: "Mom, where is my fourth brother?"

Fu's mother called out cheerfully: "Your fourth brother saw you were still asleep and couldn't bear to wake you."

Fu Yanwan grew anxious: "He's gone? Didn't we agree I'd go with him?"

Guo Wenjing walked to the kitchen door, smiling: "Your fourth brother rarely has time to cultivate feelings with his future wife. Don't go over there and make a scene."

Fu Yanwan was combing her hair. Hearing her eldest sister-in-law's words, she realized she had indeed been thoughtless and said, embarrassed: "Luckily I overslept; otherwise, my fourth brother would have been in trouble."

Fu's mother and eldest sister-in-law Guo Wenjing both laughed upon hearing this.

Zhang Yurong had a smile on her face, but it didn't reach her eyes. She thought: If Xiao Chuxue hadn't suddenly appeared halfway, perhaps my cousin would still have a chance. That's why she couldn't feel happy.

Fu's father happened to return from morning exercise at that moment. Seeing his daughter standing in the yard, he said: "Xiao Wan, come to my study with me."

Xiao Wan said "Oh" and followed him into the room: "Dad, what is it?"

Fu's father said nothing, just walked straight to the study.
