Chapter 147 Evacuating the House
Fang Yi followed behind Brother Lu and ran out, without affecting the atmosphere of the Fang family in the living room.
Brother Fang complained to his father, "Dad, what do you mean?"
“I’ve lived in that house for three years, and they just tell me to move out and I have to move out.”
Mr. Fang gave his older brother a cold look. This son of his was incredibly short-sighted, only caring about immediate gains and not making any long-term plans.
At this moment, Fang Jiye came out of the bedroom, holding the money notes that Fang Yi had given him before leaving.
He skipped over to Sister-in-law Fang, grinning as he handed her the money notes: "Mom, this is from my aunt."
Sister-in-law Fang praised, "My son is really great."
He reached out and took the money and tickets; there were quite a few, including a dollar and a candy coupon.
Mr. Fang stubbed out his cigarette, pointed in Fang Jiye's direction, and said sarcastically to Fang's elder brother, "Isn't giving your child money enough?"
"You've fallen out with Boss Lu, what benefits can you expect from them in the future?"
"If your younger sister divorces Lu Huaixu and marries a stingy man, what benefits will you get?"
"If you take a step back, the relationship between the two families will remain as good as before. If you have any difficulties, just ask them for help, and they will take care of it for you with just a word."
Brother Fang felt a lump in his throat, his face turning ashen. He didn't want to move; he was used to living in a spacious house, and the thought of going back to a small one made him feel incredibly stifled.
Sister-in-law Fang kept smiling and didn't think it was a bad thing to move out.
She's as insightful as her older brother; as long as her sister-in-law doesn't get a divorce, she'll be like a hen laying eggs, with a constant stream of benefits.
But once you get divorced, it's like killing the hen that laid the eggs.
Fang's mother sighed and asked Fang's father in a low voice, "Old man, there's only one bedroom in the house, where will Jiye live?"
Sister-in-law Fang covered her mouth and laughed, then reassured her mother, "Mom, where can't Jiye stay?"
“Our house used to be home to Jiye’s three aunts, right? They could all fit in back then, and they can fit in now too.”
Brother Fang's face darkened as he tugged at Sister-in-law Fang's clothes, coldly asking, "What do you mean?"
Sister-in-law Fang glanced at her blockhead brother Fang; their father had made it so clear.
She rolled her eyes and sneered, "Only if my sister-in-law and brother-in-law don't divorce can our family benefit."
Mr. Fang was furious at his eldest son's stupidity. He simply couldn't believe that his own son was so hopelessly stupid.
He growled, "Think about your eldest brother-in-law and your second brother-in-law, have they ever spent a single penny on you?"
When Sister-in-law Fang heard what her father said, she almost burst out laughing. Why wouldn't they give her a single penny?
It's all because Mr. and Mrs. Fang went too far, not only selling their daughter but also...
She received no dowry when she got married, and only wore a patched dress.
However, she is the daughter-in-law of the Fang family and the beneficiary of this family.
She certainly wouldn't stand up for her sister-in-law. She doesn't even care about her own parents, so what does it have to do with an outsider like her?
On the other side
Fang Yi jogged all the way and finally caught sight of Brother Lu.
She was panting heavily, her hands on her knees, and she roared at his back, "Lu Huaixu, stop right there!"
Brother Lu paused when he heard Fang Yi's shout, turned around and looked at her coldly.
When Fang Yi saw Brother Lu's expression, tears streamed down her face as she slowly walked up to him.
Are you planning to divorce me?
Brother Lu's eyes were devoid of any emotion, and his voice was cold: "No."
Fang Yi smiled, her eyes filled with joy.
She knew that Brother Lu wouldn't divorce her. After all, they had been married for 10 years. How could he just get a divorce like that?
“My parents separated us from the military compound. We will have to move out after the New Year.”
Brother Lu's deep voice rang out.
Fang Yi was overjoyed and asked happily, "Really? How much stuff did Mom and Dad give us?"
Brother Lu truly regrets marrying Fang Yi now; she's only ever focused on the things at home.
He was the deputy director of the electromechanical plant in charge of production, and he received 130 yuan in cash every month.
Fang Yi works as a saleswoman at a department store and earns 38 yuan a month. Together, their salaries total 168 yuan.
The three of them have more than enough money to spend, so why do they keep thinking about the little things at home?
Seeing that Brother Lu didn't speak, Fang Yi strode forward, grabbed his arm, and shook it: "Tell me quickly! What did our family get?"
Brother Lu brushed Fang Yi's hand away, looked into her eyes, and sneered, "Didn't I already give it to you in advance?"
Fang Yi stared at him with wide eyes in disbelief: "When did this happen? How come I didn't know?"
Fang Yi racked her brains but still couldn't figure out when her family would divide the property among them.
It must be that Lu's mother favors her younger son. Now that Lu Huailin is married, she has given all the family's savings to the couple.
At this moment, Fang Yi was blinded by anger.
“I need to ask Mom why she’s so biased. They’re both sons, but you’re the poor little thing, while Lu Huailin is the precious darling.”
After saying that, she walked straight past Brother Lu, intending to go back to the military compound to ask her biased in-laws.
Brother Lu was amused by Fang Yi's actions, grabbed her arm, and stared intently into her eyes.
He sneered, "It was given to you right after you got married. You and your sister-in-law both have that box, and it contains the same amount of stuff."
Fang Yi looked back at Brother Lu, her pupils suddenly contracting, and a sense of panic washed over her.
The box contained 200 silver dollars; Mr. Fang liked these old objects, so he gave them to him.
She had nowhere to exchange the remaining small yellow croakers, and she didn't dare go to the black market, so she kept them in the box.
As for the 2,000 yuan inside, it has long been spent over the years.
Those bracelets with excellent clarity were something I brought home to show off.
As a result, Fang's mother and sister-in-law took a liking to it. They said a lot of flattering things to him, and he was so happy that he gave it to them.
Observing Fang Yi's unpleasant expression, Brother Lu's face darkened, and he sneered, "I won't be keeping my salary for you anymore."
"As for the contents of that box, I hope you can put everything back in, as it is Miaomiao's dowry."
Fang Yi was stunned. Miao Miao was still young, and marriage was a long way off.
But her monthly salary was a big deal, and she pounded on Brother Lu's chest with both hands: "Why don't you pay me my salary?"
Brother Lu grabbed the other man's wrist: "After ten years of marriage, there's less than a hundred yuan left in the savings account."
Fang Yi was stunned when she saw Brother Lu's eyes, which were devoid of any warmth.
Even when the other person shook off her hand and strode away, it couldn't affect her distress at that moment.
