Fu Luoshi, the wife of the second wife, Fu Yuxiao, nodded and said, "We have already promised Gu Lizhu. She is the daughter of the division commander. As long as she and the fourth brother get married, we will find a decent job in the military district for Yingjun and Meili. We can't break our promise. It's better to find a marriage for Fu Xiangling and earn more money for the bride price."
To put it bluntly, once Fu Jingchen becomes responsible for Fu Xiangling, the second branch will not gain any advantage.
Old Mrs. Fu felt that the second wife's words made sense. After all, she had always favored the second wife, and her favorite grandchildren were Fu Yingjun and Fu Meili. "What do you think, old man?"
Old Man Fu thought for a moment before saying, "Our Fu family cannot go back on our word. It's not too bad to offend our teachers. Besides, if word gets out that my foster brother married my sister, it will be bad for the Fu family's reputation."
Fu Yuzhong was a foolishly loyal and filial son. He did whatever his parents said. Moreover, this scandal happened in his own family. He was too embarrassed to face his parents and the second wife. "Mom and Dad, no matter what you decide, I have no complaints. It was the Fourth Brother and Xiangling who did the wrong thing and brought shame to the Fu family."
Chen Chunman pulled her useless, cowardly husband aside and made her position clear on the spot, "Xiangling will not marry the fourth brother, but I will not let you marry her off and collect betrothal gifts. She is my daughter, and I, her biological mother, am still alive. It is not your turn to make the decision. Please remember that we have already separated. Don't force me to break off the relationship if you annoy me!"
"As for the fourth brother, he already knows his own life story. Do you think he will obediently marry Gu Lizhu? If you are not afraid of his revenge, you can go ahead."
Old Mrs. Fu was so angry that her blood pressure soared. She pointed at Chen Chunman with a trembling finger, "Fu Yuzhong, you don't care about your wife? You let her be disrespectful and unfilial? You bully your parents-in-law?"
It's true that Fu Yuzhong is a filial son, but recently he has become more and more afraid of his wife. Ever since his wife found out that he had acquiesced to his mother replacing the second child, she started sleeping in a separate bed from him and drove him alone into the room that used to belong to the fourth child.
Chen Chunman controlled all the food and money in the family. He was reminded by his mother a few times to act like the head of the family, but was immediately scolded by his wife. Even his children ignored him, let alone listened to him.
Although Xixi has a wife and children, he is living like a homeless ghost.
"Wife, please be quiet. Dad and Mom are doing this for the Fu family!"
Chen Chunman saw through it all and really wanted to pry open her husband's head and take out all the shit inside. "It's because of the second wife, right? Fu Yuzhong, oh Fu Yuzhong, you're old, and you still can't see that your parents favor the second wife. You and the first wife are just tools for the second wife to make money. They use the fourth child's happiness to make money. Do they miss you and the first wife?"
"You can't be so wicked. Just ask how much money has the fourth brother sent home over the years? He's provided for our retirement and the entire second wife's family. We owe him so much. How dare you control his marital happiness? You call yourself his father, but does he acknowledge you as his dad?"
"Maybe they think you're an accomplice of human traffickers. You didn't hit him, but you treated him coldly and harbored resentment towards him. These old men are as cruel as a mirror. Our children are enjoying a good life in the city, but he's suffering in the Fu family. He hates you and the Fu family so much that he can't wait."
"Does the Fu family deserve the grace of raising us? The fourth child has done nothing wrong to anyone in the Fu family. He doesn't owe us anything. If anyone dares to report the fourth child as unfilial, I will be the first to disagree."
Old Lady Fu couldn't stand her daughter-in-law getting too cocky, so she roared, "I'm the one who makes the decisions at home, and you, a daughter-in-law, dare to disobey your mother-in-law? You should be thankful that your son is living a good life in the city. Do you really want to ruin his future? Everything he has achieved, is it worth it as a mother like you? Don't all parents want their children to have a good life?"
