Chapter 1231: It was my oversight.
Fu Yanming laughed when he heard this: "Of course we knew you were back, so your sister-in-law and I came over."
After saying that, he looked at the orange-flavored water in his hand with a look of disgust: "You really think I'm a child."
Guo Wenjing patted him with a smile: "Just keep pretending. Who is it at home who always insists on tasting the water in the child's cup?"
Fu Yanming, having been exposed, retorted, "I was just teasing them. Did you really think I was after that orange-flavored water?"
After the four of them finished laughing, Fu Yanming said, "By the way, there's something I need to tell you."
Fu Yancheng and Chu Xue looked up, waiting for him to continue.
After finishing the water in his hands in one gulp, Fu Yanming said, "My younger sister called a few days ago and said that she had some unpleasantness with a female educated youth who shared a room with her and wanted to move out."
Her parents were a little worried about her living alone, being a young woman. They thought that since she and Jiang Feng were already engaged, why not just pick a date and get married? That way, even if they moved out of the youth compound, they could look after each other, and they could feel more at ease.
After listening to his elder brother's words, Fu Yancheng looked at Chuxue and said, "It's good that Mom and Dad have made the decision. We, as the elder brother and sister-in-law, naturally have no objections."
Fu Yanming put down his cup: "What I'm telling you is that we only have this one girl among us, so we can't be stingy with her dowry. What do you all think?"
Before Fu Yancheng could even look at Chu Xue, Chu Xue declared, "Big brother, we have no objections. Do you already have a plan?"
Fu Yanming nodded: "I was thinking that our four families could complete the 'three turns and one sound' for my little sister."
Fu Yancheng glanced at Chuxue and saw her nod: "We naturally have no objection, but have you told your second and third brothers about this?"
Fu Yanming shook his head and said, "I was just thinking of telling you first. If you have no objections, I'll pass on the message to both families."
However, you can tell from his words that he lacks confidence.
Guo Wenjing rolled her eyes at her husband: "I think you're being a bit inconsiderate. Every family is different. If you really tell them that, I'm afraid the second son's wife will be the first to get angry. As for the third son, both he and his wife are proud people. Even if they're unhappy, they'll probably just complain in private."
Of course, it's possible I'm being cynical and judging others by my own standards. Maybe the third brother and his wife think the same way you do, but the second brother is definitely not going to stay quiet.
Chu Xue then spoke up: "What do you mean by 'Mom and Dad'?"
Fu Yanming coughed lightly: "Mom and Dad were thinking of letting my little sister choose one herself, just like the rest of us."
Chu Xue replied, "Then let nature take its course. If any family makes a mistake, Mom and Dad can make up the rest. As my sister-in-law just said, every family's situation is different, so we really can't confront them about this."
Fearing her older brother might misunderstand, she quickly added, "I didn't mean anything by it, I just..."
Guo Wenjing patted Chuxue's hand: "I understand, I understand. I think your idea is good. No matter what, it's your brother and sister-in-law's intention."
Seeing that they understood, she said step by step, "It's best to discuss this with my younger sister beforehand. If she doesn't want to make a big fuss, then we should just give the money and tickets to them directly."
Guo Wenjing clapped her hands and said, "I think my sister-in-law is right. You only think about letting your little sister get married in a grand way, but they are still living on the farm. If it's too high-profile, it's really not a good thing."
Fu Yanming slapped his forehead: "I didn't think this through."
