Chapter 68: She Already Has So Much—What’s Wrong With Letting Her Man Go?

The news that Mother Fu was going to the capital with her daughter and son-in-law quickly spread throughout the town. Naturally, it also reached the old Fu family.

“Mom, since Second Brother’s wife is going to the big city with Mingxue to enjoy the good life, her house is just sitting empty. Why not let our Junyang live there, since he’s getting married?”

Bian Yuqiao, who had been eavesdropping nearby, was immediately displeased.

Second Sister-in-law’s house is really nice—why should the eldest branch get it? This eldest sister-in-law is so shameless, just asking for whatever she wants.

Old Lady Fu had always doted on her eldest grandson, so she immediately agreed, “Of course! They’re not living there anymore, so why shouldn’t we take the house? There’s no reason in the world not to.”

“When the time comes, we’ll fix it up a bit and let Junyang use it as his wedding house.”

Yan Hongwei was overjoyed.

She beamed. “Mom, as long as you agree, that’s great. But what if Second Sister-in-law doesn’t agree?”

Old Lady Fu didn’t care at all. “She’s already gone—who cares if she agrees or not? Just break the lock and change it. Problem solved.”

“It’s not like she’s going to rush back just for this, is she?”

Yan Hongwei thought about it and agreed.

They’re so far away—even if she did come back, so what? Her son would already be living there.

Thinking this, she felt incredibly pleased.

Bian Yuqiao saw how they’d just settled things like that, and felt even more bitter inside.

This mother-in-law is always biased toward the eldest branch. Why doesn’t she ever suggest giving that nice house to their family?

“Grandma, Mom, can this really work? I don’t think it will!” Fu Junyang was a bit timid.

Mainly, he was afraid of Fu Mingxue’s husband.

That man was so intimidating that day—if they took his wife’s house, wouldn’t he be furious enough to kill him?

“Mom, I think I’m fine just living in my own house—”

Yan Hongwei looked at her eldest son’s cowardly face and was fuming.

Just as she was about to scold him, her second son, Fu Junbao, piped up with a grin, “Mom, if Big Brother doesn’t want it, give it to me! I’m not that young anymore, and I’ll need to get married too. If Big Brother’s scared, I’m not.”

Yan Hongwei: …?

“That works too. Then the house will go to your big brother, and in the future, your dad, your grandpa, grandma, and I will all live with him.”

“That’s great! Settled then—the house is mine.”

Old Man Fu didn’t say a word, but he tacitly agreed.

After all, Second Brother’s house really was the best.

Besides, they’re gone now—leaving the house empty is a waste. Might as well let someone live in it.

As the saying goes, an empty house falls into disrepair quickly; it needs people living in it.

He was just thinking of what was best for Second Brother’s house.

And so, the whole family happily decided the fate of someone else’s house.

Bian Yuqiao was even more bitter.

Why should they get it?

No way—if her family couldn’t have it, she wasn’t about to let the eldest branch benefit either.

If she told Second Sister-in-law about this, maybe they’d get closer?

She found an excuse to head home.

After thinking it over, she called her daughter over. “Mingya, go tell your Second Aunt that the eldest branch has their eye on her house. They’re planning to break in and move in as soon as she leaves.”

“And be smart about it. If Fu Mingxue’s husband can take her mother away, maybe if you cozy up to Mingxue these days, you can get her to take you too.”

Fu Mingya’s eyes instantly lit up.

That’s right—she could beg Fu Mingxue to take her along.

Ever since she saw that man the other day, he’d been in all her dreams.

She’d never seen a man more handsome or imposing in her whole life.

She wanted to marry him—

Fu Mingxue was already so lucky, she already had so much. What’s wrong with letting her cousin have her wonderful man?"
