Zhu Quan hesitated for a long time before leaving.
She'd be all alone if she went back, but here she has food to eat and doesn't have to do any work.
After considering it over, he decided not to leave.
Sister Liu still leaves early and returns late every day; she leaves before the others have even gotten out of bed.
None of them knew where she had gone, and she wouldn't tell them when they asked.
Sister Liu no longer argues with them, nor does she cook; she simply ignores them.
They couldn't do anything about Sister Liu.
The three of them wanted to go to Fang Jie's house next door for a free meal.
As it turned out, the door next door was also locked, so they had no choice but to go home and cook.
...
Fu Yichen is back.
Ye Fangxuan happily showed him her belly.
"Yichen, feel it. I'm pregnant with our child. I don't know if it's a boy or a girl. I hope it's a boy. I like boys."
Ye Fangxuan said excitedly.
Fu Yichen withdrew his hand, appearing indifferent.
When Fang Min came out and saw Fu Yichen's appearance, her eyes lit up.
Hurry up and go meet them.
"Oh, son-in-law, you're back."
"She looks so good, a perfect match for Fangxuan."
"You're back just in time. I have something to tell you. I'm your mother-in-law. I came all this way to see you, but your mother hasn't cooked for us and we haven't seen her at all. Is this how you treat guests? Poor Fangxuan, cooking for us while heavily pregnant."
Fu Yichen sized up Fang Min.
I didn't like my mother-in-law very much, even though I was meeting her for the first time.
He said coldly, "Why won't you do it?"
Fang Min stared wide-eyed. "What kind of logic is it to make guests cook for themselves?"
"You are Fangxuan's mother."
“You’ve already said I’m her mother, how can you expect me to serve her? I’m not doing that.”
Fu Yichen really felt sorry for Ye Fangxuan, having such a mother.
Pitiful!
Fang Min continued, "You must tell your mother something; she's outrageous."
Fu Yichen couldn't stand it anymore and retorted, "My mother has always been reasonable. She must have done this because of someone else."
"What do you mean, son-in-law? Are you referring to my problem?"
Seeing that Fu Yichen's expression was getting increasingly unpleasant, Ye Fangxuan quickly interrupted Fang Min.
"Mom, stop talking. Yichen just got back and must be tired. We can talk about other things later."
Fang Min pouted.
Sister Liu ate dinner at the pig farm before returning home.
No one is cooking at home today; Fang Min is counting on Ye Fangxuan, and Ye Fangxuan is counting on Fu Yichen.
She felt that since she was pregnant, Fu Yichen should treat her better and take the initiative to cook for her.
Fu Yichen had been on the train for two days and hadn't eaten much on the train, so he was starving.
Seeing that no one was cooking, he had no choice but to take his lunchbox to the cafeteria to get his food.
He arrived a bit late, and all the meat and vegetables were gone, so he just grabbed two vegetarian dishes and a few steamed buns.
Despite their complaints, the group finished off the vegetables and steamed buns.
Sister Liu entered the house and saw that Fu Yichen had returned.
She remained expressionless, ignoring Fu Yichen's greeting.
Fu Yichen touched his nose.
He knew that his willfulness had caused his mother suffering.
Waiting for Commander Fu to return home.
Sister Liu called Fu Yichen over.
Ye Fangxuan, Fang Min, and Zhu Quan also came over.
Once everyone was present, Sister Liu said, "Today I have something to announce."
Fu Yichen: "Mom, what's wrong? Why did you call me back in such a hurry?"
Sister Liu: "I want to separate from the family."
Fu Yichen was taken aback.
Ye Fangxuan was stunned.
Separate the family? How will it be separated?
Sister Liu said, "Your father and I have discussed it. You're all grown up now, you have your own job, and you're married. It's time for you to live on your own. There are three rooms in total. The room you're living in now is yours, the room your mother-in-law is living in is your older brother's, and we'll still live in our own room. Your older brother isn't here, so your mother-in-law can stay here for now, but it will have to be vacated when your older brother comes back."
Fu Yichen didn't expect his mother to be talking about this, but after thinking about it carefully, he had no objection.
"Mom, I'll listen to you. If you want to separate, then separate."
Ye Fangxuan looked at Fu Yichen anxiously.
"Yichen, we cannot separate from the family."
Fu Yichen: "Why?"
What will happen to me if we split up?
"What do you mean, what to do?"
"Who will take care of me when you're not home?"
"You have hands and feet, why do you need someone to take care of you?"
"I'm pregnant with your child."
Fu Yichen looked at her stomach.
"It's only been a little over a month, and I can cook and do laundry by myself without any problem. When you give birth, my mom certainly won't stand idly by."
"I……"
Ye Fangxuan bit her lip; she didn't want to cook or do laundry.
But since Fu Yichen had already said that, what could she do?
Sister Liu said, "Considering we just separated from the family, I'll give you a month's worth of food rations, and half of the vegetable garden. I'll plant this year, and you can pick and eat what you need. Next year, you can plant your own. As for cooking, there are two stoves in the house, one for each of us, so we can each cook our own meals. Remember, after you've cooked, you need to clean up properly. I don't like things to be messy."
Fang Min couldn't listen anymore.
"My dear in-laws, isn't it a bad idea to separate the family now? After all, Fangxuan is carrying your Fu family's child."
Sister Liu: "I think it's great. You're right here, aren't you? You're her biological mother, so you're definitely more suitable and better at taking care of your daughter than I am."
Fang Min was speechless and very annoyed.
She's here to enjoy herself, not to serve others.
No matter how unwilling Ye Fangxuan was, the family still separated.
The next morning, Sister Liu threw the food rations to Fu Yichen.
