Chapter 64: Not even qualified to cause trouble for others

Song Yushuang's laughter was neither light nor heavy, but it felt like a slap in Xu Runli's face.

She was just about to say some polite words when she saw Fu Yucheng walk in in military uniform, his boots making a steady sound as they stepped on the blue brick floor.

"Acheng is back?" Song Yushuang stood up immediately. "Hurry up and wash your hands. We'll have dinner soon. I stewed some pork ribs especially for you today."

Fu Yucheng's eyes swept across the main hall, landing for a moment on Yun Tangyin, who was picking beans not far away, before moving away: "Mom, we got two kilograms of fine grain today, I brought it back."

"Bringing something home again." Song Yushuang took the bag of grain with a smile, "Hurry up and sit down."

Xu Runli's eyes were on Fu Yucheng the whole time. Although her gaze was not stern, it was impossible to ignore it.

But Fu Yucheng just nodded slightly as a greeting and didn't say a single word to her.

That attitude was like facing an unfamiliar neighbor who was visiting.

In fact...it's not much different.

Jiang Jianhua was sharp-eyed. He saw a piece of red silk sticking out of Fu Yucheng's military pants pocket and leaned over to touch it. "What is this? A new certificate?"

"Second sister-in-law, this is for Yinyin." Fu Yucheng avoided her hand and took out a red cloth bag from his pocket and opened it. Inside was a pair of silver bracelets: "Made of old silver material, for her to wear for fun."

Yun Tangyin had just sat down when she looked over at Yuxia's reminder. The bracelet was engraved with fine twined branch patterns, which was the style she had casually mentioned that she liked last time.

She walked over, and just as her fingertips touched the bracelet, Jiang Jianhua interrupted her.

"What's so rare about a silver bracelet?" Jiang Jianhua curled his lips and muttered softly, "This Runli watch is made in Shanghai. It's more valuable than silver or gold!"

Xu Runli immediately raised her wrist in cooperation, the watch chain flashing in the sunlight: "It's not a good thing, Zhicheng just thought it would be convenient for me to check the time in the Northeast, so he picked it out for me and asked for a coupon."

Fu Yucheng had already taken the initiative to take a bowl and fill a bowl of pork rib soup for Yun Tangyin. He said lightly: "Well, I don't understand these things. I just think that making two bracelets can please Yinyin."

These words left Jiang Jianhua speechless for a long time, while Xu Runli's face turned red.

How could she not hear that Fu Yucheng was mocking her?

When the meal started, Xu Runli deliberately sat next to Fu Yucheng, then smiled at Yun Tangyin on the other side: "Sis, if you don't want to sit next to me, then it's okay for me to sit next to my brother-in-law, right?"

Yun Tangyin raised the corner of her lips and looked at Fu Yucheng: "Then why don't you just ask Fu Yucheng if he is willing to sit next to you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, before Fu Yucheng could say anything, Fu Yuanshan stood up with the bowl in his hand: "It's okay, if Ah Cheng doesn't want to, I do. I'll take the seat."

It looked like he was being nonchalant and trying to break the awkward atmosphere, but in fact... Fu Yuanshan just wanted to take the opportunity to sit next to Yun Tangyin.

Jiang Jianhua was angry but couldn't say anything. He stepped on Fu Yuanshan's instep and bit his lips hard.

Fu Yucheng looked up and said, "No need. I'll be closer to Yinyin so that I can pick up food for her and take care of her."

Fu Yuanshan's foot was stepped on and it hurt. Just as he was about to get angry, he saw Fu Yucheng had moved his stool closer to Yun Tangyin. The distance between them was so close that they could share a bowl.

He could only sit back in his seat in disappointment, his chopsticks clanging against the edge of the bowl.

Xu Runli's fingers left several marks on the tablecloth. She sat over here on purpose just to make Yun Tangyin unhappy, but unexpectedly she became a laughing stock.

"Let's eat." Song Yushuang distributed ribs to everyone. "This is the first time Runli comes to our house, so at least eat more."

As soon as a piece of ribs fell into Xu Runli's bowl, she smiled and put it into Fu Yucheng's bowl: "Brother Yucheng, you have worked hard. The ribs are stewed well. You should eat more."

Fu Yucheng blocked it with his chopsticks: "No, Yinyin likes this."

He immediately handed the ribs to Yun Tangyin: "Go slowly, be careful of the heat."

Yun Tangyin took a bite of the spareribs and caught a glimpse of Xu Runli's tense face from the corner of her eye. She spoke slowly, "If Runli wants to serve food to someone else, why not give it to Second Sister-in-law? She must have used a lot of strength when she stepped on Second Brother just now. She needs to make up for it."

Jiang Jianhua's face flushed: "What are you talking about?"

Yun Tangyin scooped a spoonful of soup and said, "Second brother loves you so much that he never said a word even when he was stepped on. Second sister-in-law must protect this friendship well."

Fu Yuanshan's ears felt hot from what he said, and he just ate two big mouthfuls of rice.

Xu Runli looked at this scene and suddenly felt that the chopsticks in her hand were particularly heavy. It seemed that everyone at the table was against her.

Xu Runli placed her chopsticks on the bowl, a smile still on her face, but her words were tinged with sarcasm: "You say that, as if Second Sister-in-law is so fierce. I think Second Brother is willing to let Second Sister-in-law step on him. This is true love."

"Of course." Yun Tangyin picked up a piece of corn and handed it to Fu Yucheng's bowl. "That's really true affection. It's not like some people who specifically ask for coupons when giving gifts, as if they're afraid that others don't know they have industrial coupons."

Xu Runli's face turned pale. She had mentioned the industrial vouchers on purpose to show that Yun Tangyin was naive, but she didn't expect to be taken advantage of.

"That's not what I meant." She defended herself, clutching her chopsticks. "I just thought Zhicheng was thoughtful."

"He really did have a heart." Jiang Jianhua finally found a topic to talk about: "He's much better than Fu Yuanshan. I asked him to buy me a piece of floral cloth, but he said he wanted to save money to buy cigarettes and alcohol. He didn't even have me in his mind. He put all his thoughts on others."

I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but Jiang Jianhua’s words made the atmosphere at the dinner table even more awkward.

Fu Yuanshan raised his head suddenly: "When did I say that? Don't talk nonsense!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole table fell silent.

Song Yushuang slammed her chopsticks on the table and said, "Even eating can't stop you from talking! You've brought shame to the Fu family!"

Xu Runli's eyes rolled, and she was just about to chime in to win over the only person at the table who was on her side.

But before he could say anything, Yun Tangyin interrupted him: "Second sister-in-law, you are always so aggressive. How can Second Brother live with you? Isn't it enough to just know who you care about and who you don't?"

It was unclear whether this was to smooth things over or to fan the flames, but Xu Runli was choked up. She couldn't say anything, and she couldn't vent her anger either...

Jiang Jianhua looked at Yun Tangyin with his lips tightly pursed.

Only Fu Yuanshan looked at Yun Tangyin with gratitude.

Xu Runli was so angry watching the unexpected scene. Why was it that every time she wanted to cause trouble, Yun Tangyin would just suppress it lightly?

"Actually, my second brother treats my second sister-in-law very well." Yun Tangyin picked up a piece of pork ribs for Jiang Jianhua and said, "Second sister-in-law, cherish it."

Fu Yuanshan stiffened his neck and nodded: "That's right."

Yun Tangyin had a gentle expression, but sneered in her heart. She really couldn't stand this stupid couple.

Looking at the harmonious family, Xu Runli felt like an outsider.

She picked up the ribs from the bowl and handed it to Fu Yucheng, but before she could reach out, Fu Yucheng blocked her hand with his elbow. He was busy peeling shrimp for Yun Tangyin, and his movements were natural and intimate.

Xu Runli's hands froze in mid-air. As she watched Fu Yucheng put the shrimp on Yun Tangyin's rice, she finally understood...

In the Fu family, she doesn't even have the qualifications to cause trouble for others.
