Chapter 51: This Silly Girl—Can’t She Tell I’m Making a Scene on Purpose?

Compared to the warmth among these three, everyone in the old Fu family was fuming.

Old Madam Fu cursed and muttered for ages.

Old Master Fu didn’t look any better.

But deep down, they both knew that this time, the second son’s family really wanted to break away from them.

The last time the second son’s wife and daughter made a scene was two years ago.

It was also over this “going to the countryside” business.

They’d originally planned to secretly sign Fu Mingxue up to go to the countryside.

Who would’ve thought that just as they arrived at the Youth Office to fill out the forms, the second son’s family showed up.

That uproar back then nearly brought the roof down.

In the end, they had no choice but to give up on the idea of sending Fu Mingxue in place of a few of their grandsons.

This time, things probably won’t end so easily.

——

The third Fu son’s family also returned to their own home.

Listening to the cursing from next door, the whole family looked rather sour.

“I really don’t know what kind of luck that Fu Mingxue girl has—how did she manage to find such a good husband?” Bian Yuqiao said, unable to hide her jealousy.

She’d gotten a good look at that man just now.

Never mind his looks—the aura alone was intimidating. Anyone with eyes could tell he wasn’t ordinary.

With him around, who would dare look down on Xu Zifeng and her widowed mother now?

Why couldn’t such a good son-in-law be hers?

Third Fu pursed his lips and said nothing.

He was jealous too.

He wanted a son-in-law like that.

“From now on, don’t side with your eldest sister-in-law. Get closer to your second sister-in-law. Mingxue is bound to do well in the future.”

He hadn’t expected his niece not only to get into university, but also to marry such a good man.

Bian Yuqiao shot him a look. “You think I don’t know that?”

She was just jealous, not stupid.

Of course she’d have to cozy up to Fu Mingxue and her mother from now on.

She’s going off to university—once she graduates, she’ll be a proper cadre.

She might even end up working and settling in Beijing.

And now that Fu Mingxue has married such a good man—if she didn’t try to get on their good side and instead made trouble, she’d have to be crazy.

Small gains versus big gains—she knew the difference.

After all, she still had a son!

She glanced at her daughter, who was standing there in a daze, and her eyes filled with disgust.

“You’re from the same Fu family, so why is she so accomplished while you can’t measure up in anything?”

Fu Mingya’s face turned ugly.

She wanted to snap back—if their daughter was so accomplished, maybe it’s because her mother actually loved her.

But she didn’t dare.

The more Bian Yuqiao looked at her wooden-faced daughter, the angrier she got.

“What are you standing there for? Go make dinner!”

Fu Mingya’s face darkened as she headed for the little kitchen.

——

“You want to go to the old Fu house? I’ll go with you.”

Mother Fu really couldn’t trust her good son-in-law to go alone.

There wasn’t a single decent person in the old Fu family.

Qin Wenhuo immediately said, “Mom, it’s fine, I can go by myself. Don’t worry, I can handle it.”

Mother Fu: …?

She really couldn’t help but worry.

Qin Wenhuo shot Fu Mingxue a look, signaling her to help persuade her mother.

Fu Mingxue happened to glance at him and caught the look.

“—Mom, just let him go! Besides, if you go too, you’ll probably end up arguing again. I know you’re not afraid of a fight, but there’s no need!”

Mother Fu: …?

This silly girl—can’t she tell I’m making a scene on purpose, so maybe we’ll never have to deal with them again?

Since neither of them wanted her to go, she’d just stay home.

It didn’t have to be today anyway.

“All right then, son-in-law, when you go, don’t bother being polite with them.”

“Okay.”

“Mingxue, you go with your husband.”

Fu Mingxue: …?

Why did she have to go?

She really didn’t want to set foot in the old house at all."
