Chapter 676: Do You Want This Luck?
The atmosphere here was terrifying, but the scene at the Fu family was quite different.
Mother Fu said in disbelief: "Are you telling the truth?"
Fu Yanming took a sip of the boiled water his eldest daughter handed him: "Of course it's true. The factory has broadcast it three times in a loop. How could it be false?"
Mother Fu was very excited and slapped her thigh and said, "This really makes us proud."
Zhang Yurong said sourly, "The factory alone gave me a bonus of 200 yuan. The army must have given me more than that. My fourth brother's wife is so lucky."
But as soon as she finished speaking, Mother Fu rolled her eyes at her and said, "Do you want this luck?"
Zhang Yurong wanted to say "yes", but when she thought about fighting an enemy spy, she shuddered in fear and said, "I'm afraid I don't have the ability to do it. I'd better not do it."
Mother Fu's face was full of displeasure: "You also know that you don't have that ability, so why are you so jealous?"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Zhang Yurong's face: "I didn't mean anything else, I just said the wrong thing because I was a little envious, don't be angry, mom."
Mother Fu glanced at the people in each family and thought that after the fourth daughter-in-law came into the family next year, it would be better to divide the family property among them as soon as possible. By then, the eldest son's family would move out, and the fourth daughter-in-law would go to join the army. Then they would live separately at home, and there would be less chaos in the future.
Guo Wenjing spoke up at this time: "Mom, my fourth brother is going home next week to recuperate. Shouldn't we invite his wife to come over?"
When Mother Fu heard this, she smiled and said, "You're thinking the same thing as me."
Guo Wenjing took out a few tickets from her pocket and said, "Mom, I have a few meat tickets here. You can keep them first. First, my fourth brother needs to eat something nutritious when he comes back. Second, I have to prepare a good meal for my fourth brother's wife when she comes over. I'll see if I can exchange them for other tickets later."
Zhang Yurong didn't expect her sister-in-law to be so cunning: "Sister-in-law is really thoughtful."
Guo Wenjing hated her sarcastic tone the most: "Why doesn't the third sister-in-law show some appreciation?"
Zhang Yurong coughed lightly and said, "It's already the end of the month, and I don't have many tickets left. I'd better count it."
Before he could even utter the word "δΊ†", Guo Wenjing took over the conversation: "What's the big deal? The bills for next month should arrive soon. You can just give them to mom when the time comes. Fourth brother isn't going to stay for just one day, right?"
Even if Zhang Yurong was unwilling, she had to respond: "That's right, sister-in-law is very thoughtful."
When Mrs. Fu saw that her third daughter-in-law was dealt with, the discomfort in her heart disappeared.
At this time, Fu Yanhong, who had been silent, asked, "Mom, didn't you go to take care of my fourth brother? Why are you back?"
Mother Fu suddenly laughed: "It's because the fourth child loves me so much that he won't let me stay there. He said his wound has scabbed over and Xiao Guo will take care of him."
Guo Wenjing smiled and replied, "It's because my fourth brother loves you."
When Mother Fu heard this, she felt even more relieved: "Don't think that boy is cold every day, he is actually a very honest person."
Guo Wenjing poured a glass of water for her mother-in-law: "Fourth brother is a cold-faced person with a warm heart. You take a rest, I will go to cook."
Fu Yanhong quickly poked his wife with his arm and signaled her with his eyes to go and help.
When Fu Yanming saw the action of his third son, a smile flashed across his eyes.
Zhang Yurong reacted quickly: "Sister-in-law, I'll go with you."
As soon as the two sisters-in-law left, Fu Yanming said, "Someone will come to deliver paint tomorrow. I thought we should paint the doors and windows before the fourth brother comes. That way, the smell will be mostly gone when he comes back."
Mother Fu thought about it and said, "Okay, just make the arrangements as you see fit."
Thinking of something: "Oh, by the way, Lao Si said he asked someone to build a bigger coal stove, and then he will run pipes through it. You guys can see which one is suitable."
Fu Yanming nodded: "That's not urgent, we can still do it when he comes back."
Fu Yanming said, "By the way, Mom, do you want to tell my younger sister and second brother about my fourth brother's injury?"
Mother Fu frowned and thought for a moment: "Forget it, so they won't come back and cause trouble."
Fu Yanming wanted to say something, but his mother raised her hand to stop him, saying, "Do as I say."
