Chapter 953: Sigh, You're Even Exposing Your Eldest Brother's Shortcomings Now

Zhang Yurong lifted the quilt and got into bed: "I'm just afraid Mother-in-law will think the Second Branch isn't a dual-income household, and that if Second Brother and the others don't live well, she'll soften her heart again."

Fu Yanwei glanced at his wife, who always had so many thoughts on her mind: "The reason we've been subsidizing them these past few years is that, no matter how you look at it, Second Brother's going to the countryside did relieve the family's immediate crisis, so he did contribute to the family. That's why Mom and Dad subsidize them every month.

As for work matters, didn't Mom make it perfectly clear? If you find something suitable, just tell them. Don't you understand what she meant? Rest assured, aside from the subsidy Second Brother sent after going to the countryside, Mom and Dad treat everyone equally."

Zhang Yurong pouted: "Don't forget about Xiao Wan."

Fu Yanhong immediately became unhappy: "Xiao Wan is the only girl in the family. It's only natural that Mom and Dad dote on her a bit more. Say less of such things in the future. If the family hears you, you'll definitely get no good."

"Oh, I was just saying that."

Fu Yan Cheng wasn't asleep either; he lay with both hands under his head, thinking things over.

If Second Brother returns to the city, he definitely won't get housing assigned by his unit in the short term. He'll have to live at home for quite a long time afterward. With Second Sister-in-law's fussy nature, Liu Chuxue definitely won't be able to stand it.

It seems he'll have to tidy up the courtyard he bought earlier and move out immediately once the family splits.

Thinking over his future plans, he fell asleep like that.

The next morning, after returning from morning exercise and entering the courtyard, Fu Yanwan hurried over: "Fourth Brother, I told Mom I'll leave with you all this afternoon."

Fu Yan Cheng took a basin to draw water for washing: "Fine. Then tidy up this morning and prepare whatever you need to bring in advance."

Seeing Fu Yanwan follow him into the room, he pulled twenty yuan from his shirt pocket: "Take this. Consider it your New Year's money."

Fu Yanwan naturally wouldn't refuse, smiling brightly: "Thank you, Fourth Brother. Then I'll keep it."

She was about to say something else when she saw Fourth Brother standing by the water basin with a Mao Jin, looking at her.

She immediately understood: "I'm leaving right away."

Fu Yanming had naturally heard what his younger sister said to their mother earlier. Knowing she was returning to the farm this afternoon, he also pulled twenty yuan from his pocket: "Take it. It's pocket money from your eldest brother."

Fu Yanwan glanced behind her eldest brother: "Help me thank Sister-in-law."

Saying that, she snatched the money from his hand.

Fu Yanming smiled, raised his hand, and lightly flicked her forehead: "The money is from me. Why are you thanking your eldest sister-in-law instead of me?"

Fu Yanwan smiled brightly: "It must be because Eldest Sister-in-law agreed. Otherwise, where would you have gotten the money?"

Though it was the absolute truth, this sister was truly unbearable: "Sigh, you're even exposing your eldest brother's shortcomings now."

The two siblings bantered and laughed there for quite a while before finally parting.

Before the meal, Fu Yanhong sneakily approached Fu Yanwan and directly stuffed ten yuan into her hand: "Don't speak. Hurry and put it away. Don't let your sister-in-law see it."

Fu Yanwan knew that even if she declined, Third Brother would insist on giving it, so she simply didn't refuse, saving Third Sister-in-law from causing trouble for her husband: "Thank you, Third Brother."

The actions of the two siblings naturally didn't escape Fu Mother's eyes; a smile unconsciously formed at the corner of her mouth.

All the brothers in the family have known since childhood to dote on their younger sister. After growing up, Eldest Brother and Fourth Brother were the most willing to spend money on Xiao Wan. Although Third Brother's wife kept a tight rein on him, he would always secretly slip his private savings to Xiao Wan. Only Second Brother, ever since he got a wife, has always tried to take advantage of Xiao Wan.

Thinking of her second son, she sighed inwardly.

However, she understood perfectly well: children and grandchildren have their own fortunes. So, having completed her duty, she would leave the rest to their own abilities. If they have ability, they'll live well; if not, they can't blame anyone else.
