But Fu Cheng usually doesn't talk much.
Not talking while eating is also the custom of the Fu family.
It's hard to tell what's wrong with the two of them just by looking at them this way.
Song Shengsheng was very honest in front of Fu Cheng's family.
After lunch, she received a gift from Fu Cheng's parents.
It is not convenient to deliver expensive things.
Ye Jing's wedding dress originally contained many exquisite jewels, but now she couldn't take any of them out.
I just picked out a jade pendant that no one could find fault with.
Small Buddha statue.
The jade is clear and transparent, and you can tell it is good stuff at first glance.
The gift that Fu Wenyuan gave to his daughter-in-law was much simpler and more direct than Ye Jing's. It was a big red envelope containing one thousand yuan.
Song Shengsheng accepted the gift honestly. He was easily timid in front of his elders. His face turned red when he took the gift and he felt very embarrassed.
"Thank you, Mom."
"Thank you, Dad."
She was still a little unfamiliar with shouting.
But the voice is soft and pleasant to listen to.
Song Shengsheng's eldest uncle, Fu Cheng's biological brother, also prepared gifts for his younger brother and sister-in-law whom he met for the first time.
I don't know what she likes.
So I gave her a popular pen.
Fu Yuan knew little about his brother's wife.
When the two of them got married, he didn't even ask his arrogant younger brother why he could get married so casually in a small place like Ningcheng.
This time I met someone.
Finally, the strange feeling in my heart disappeared.
There is no other reason.
No man would dislike my sister-in-law because of her looks.
Song Shengsheng's hands were soft as she received the gift. She hung the jade pendant around her neck. The cool texture felt very comfortable against her skin.
Good jade is not only beautiful, but also nourishing.
She looked in the mirror and liked the jade pendant more and more.
Song Shengsheng hid the one thousand yuan given by Fu Cheng's father in his clothes pocket, folded the clothes neatly, and put them away carefully.
Afraid that it would be stolen.
Even though she knew that Fu Cheng would not take her one thousand yuan, she still had to be on guard against her.

Fu Cheng was called to the study by his father.
Fu Wenyuan's study was filled with his calligraphy and painting. Writing can calm a person's mind. He glanced at his son, who was now taller than him, put down the brush in his hand, and asked casually, "Did you have a fight with Shengsheng?"
Fu Cheng froze for a moment, then answered calmly, "No."
Fu Wenyuan snorted coldly. At his age, he could see everything.
What’s more, my son’s wife cannot hide her true feelings on her face. Whatever she is thinking is written in her eyes.
It is written very clearly.
During the meal, Fu Cheng often picked up food for her.
The little girl had great composure and pretended she saw nothing, but she refused to eat the food he put into her bowl.
In the end, maybe they were afraid that there would be too much left in the bowl and people would say it was a waste.
She spoke to him reluctantly, her words stiffly, and asked him to finish the leftovers in her bowl.
But Fu Wenyuan also went through the same process when he was young.
He and his wife had many arguments.
Fu Wenyuan then said, "I think Shengsheng is a good kid. Stop bullying him."
"Since you brought the person back and we have seen him, you have to take responsibility and stop being a bitch and throwing tantrums every day."
Fu Cheng hummed, "I know."
After talking about family matters, Fu Wenyuan started talking about work.
"It would be safer for you to stay in Ningcheng for the next two years." Fu Wenyuan said calmly, "Although the organization's investigation into me has ended, there is no guarantee that other things will not happen in the future."
The situation changed suddenly.
If you take a wrong step, you will be doomed.
"I have seen many old colleagues who were rehabilitated and then brought down again."
Now is not the time for them to be complacent.
They cannot take it lightly as the cancer has not yet been completely identified.
If the situation really comes to a dead end, Fu Cheng is far away in Ningcheng and is in the army, so he will not be implicated.
Fu Cheng also understood these principles.
At first, it was Fu Cheng who suggested to his mother that she should donate her grandparents' properties and the small western-style house in Haicheng as soon as possible.
Otherwise, their family might not be able to escape the disaster safely.
"Anyway, these things will settle down in the next two or three years and come to a complete end. There will be an end after all."
When Fu Wenyuan said this, his eyes were cold.
Fu Cheng looked at his father and said, "Please be careful."

Out of the study.
Fu Cheng met his brother at the stairs.
Fu Yuan hadn't seen his brother for a long time. The last time Fu Cheng came back, he was still working overtime at the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. He was frequently transferred at work and had a lot of things to do, so he was too busy to spare time.
The pressure in the capital is even greater.
Every day Fu Yuan could see familiar faces being taken away.
"How long do you plan to stay this time?"
"I took five days off."
"That's about it."
Fu Yuan lit a cigarette and then asked, "Why didn't you bring Xiaochi back?"
They have only seen photos of the children.
He looks exactly like Fu Cheng, especially when he was a child.
Fu Cheng said, "He has to go to school."
Fu Yuan nodded. The two brothers didn't spend much time chatting about family matters.
Fu Yuan saw the scratches on his neck and smiled in an ambiguous way: "You had a fight with your wife, didn't you?"
Fu Cheng's face was gloomy, and he didn't understand how everyone could see it.
Just as Fu Yuan finished speaking, the door of the room at the end of the corridor was gently opened, and the little girl pushed the door open timidly, like a little mouse trying to steal food in the middle of the night.
The movements are very light.
Still looking around.
When his dark eyes saw the two people standing at the entrance of the stairs, he immediately withdrew his tentative steps and closed the door with a bang.
Fu Yuan swallowed a puff of tobacco and raised the corner of his mouth: "My sister-in-law is quite timid. Not like what you said before."
Fu Cheng had no intention of chatting with his brother anymore.
I made up an excuse and went back to my room.
After Song Shengsheng closed the door, his heart was still beating so fast that it was about to jump out of his throat.
She originally wanted to go downstairs to get a glass of water.
He was so careful not to disturb others, but who knew he would run into Fu Cheng and his uncle.
Fu Cheng entered the room and saw someone hiding beside the bed.
The moonlight cast its shadow on her slender, fair figure, and her cute little face still showed a hint of panic, like a frightened bird.
He didn't know where his inner irritation came from, so he asked her, "Who did you come out to spy on?"
His brother?
Do you really want to be his sister-in-law?
You wish.
Song Shengsheng is still angry about the book.
She closed her mouth and said nothing.
When Fu Cheng came up to her, she pretended he didn't exist.
The scratch on the man's nose had faded for a long time and the mark was gradually disappearing.
But the teeth marks on his shoulder were still very deep.
Two rows of tooth marks, neat and tidy.
Fu Cheng couldn't bear to see her treating him like air, so he raised his hand to hold her little face, "If you want to see it, just look openly, no need to sneak around."
Song Shengsheng waved his hand away and didn't answer him.
Instead, she was eager to draw a clear line between them: "I put a pillow in the middle of the bed, you are not allowed to cross the pillow, we sleep in separate beds."
