Sister Xu said from the side, "Fuya doesn't have any friends here. The children are either busy or complaining about being poor. It's only when Fanfan came that Fuya became happy. Sister Liu, could you stay a little longer?"
The lady was lonely. The people at the factory were all sycophants, not sincere. She wasn't very familiar with the neighbors either, and behind her back they all said that the Fu family were capitalists who were rich but heartless, even though the Fu family was doing practical things that benefited the country and the people. The lady was just soft-hearted and couldn't refuse others, but she was very sensitive. She just hoped that her children would come over to talk, but her children all had their own families and couldn't come over often.
Liu Yumin was in a dilemma. Everyone she knew was in the capital and would eventually return there. What Sister Xu said was also true. Fanfan's life in the Fu family would not have been bad. Brother Fu and his wife really doted on the child. It was because of her intervention that she felt at ease and wouldn't go crazy when Fanfan was by her side. Old Zhu then asked them to adopt the child, and they agreed without making any demands. They even took care of their future afterward, all so that the child could survive.
During her time at the Fu family home, she came to understand that Fu Ya was truly naive to the point of ignorance. Even at fifty, she still had the demeanor of a young girl. Brother Fu had protected her very well. Similarly, she hadn't experienced much, didn't know how to argue with others, and only ended up suffering losses when interacting with people.
Moreover, she used her internal energy to draw out the needles from Fanfan's other arm a couple of days ago. She still needs some time to recover her internal energy, so it's good for her to recuperate here. Fanfan won't have to travel around, which will also prevent the needles from moving. She can call Lao Zhu to send over some herbs, and she can also help Brother Fu and his wife to improve their health as a way of repaying him.
Soon after, their second daughter, Fu Wan, arrived, saying she was visiting her parents. She brought some tonics, said a few words, and then left.
After Fu Wan left, Tan Fuya felt a little disappointed and complained to Liu Yumin, "Are there nails on my sofa? You came and left in such a hurry?"
The second child is a teacher, and she's incredibly busy taking care of her students every day. Although she wants to visit them, she's always thinking about homework and her students, putting her own children aside. Naturally, she can't let anyone stay any longer.
The purpose of this visit is to persuade the eldest and fourth sons not to have conflicts. Harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things. The foundation of harmony in the family is that when the father is loving, the mother is at peace; when the mother is at peace, the children are at peace; when the children are at peace, the family is harmonious; and harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things.
The Fu family succeeded, but after their daughters got married and started their own families, they prioritized their own families, putting their parents last. They have a clear conscience; the ones who should be advised are those daughters who have sided with outsiders.
Liu Yumin also thought of her granddaughter: "When Fanfan grows up, I will find her a son-in-law who will live with her family, and she will not get married."
The precious child she cherishes would never suffer mistreatment at someone else's home.
Tan Fuya also sighed, "I had thought about having Xue Fu marry into the family, but Luo Xing tried his best to stop it, saying that Xue was the only son of the family and had to carry on the family line. In fact, Lao Fu did not agree from the beginning. It was my idea that came up because I saw that Luo Xing was not easy to deal with. Fu Jing has never suffered any grievances since she was a child. She would not get good treatment from Luo Xing. Lao Fu did not object because he did not want to offend me."
Old Fu was right; Xue Fu didn't seem reliable either.
Liu Yumin could only say, "Perhaps your fates haven't run their course yet. I don't think Xue Fu is someone you can easily get along with."
Xue Fu has a sinister look on his face and is not a gentleman. It may be a good thing that he did not marry into the family. Before the liberation, there were many cases of framing brothers for family property, let alone father-in-law and son-in-law who are not related by blood. No one knows each other.
Besides, this is a family matter of the Fu family. Sister-in-law Fu Ya is willing to talk to her because she considers her a friend and is just venting. If she says something negative, then it would be suspected of sowing discord.
Tan Fuya understood this principle, but it had been a long time since anyone had listened to her properly, and she was holding back her anger! Although it was a new society now, Lao Fu told her to be careful with her words, and she rarely had friends to confide in.
After chatting for a while, Sister Xu came over and said that Fu Xian had arrived and wanted to meet Zhu Fanfan.
After Sister Xu brought the person up, Liu Yumin was a beautiful woman with a gentle appearance, very similar to Fu Ya, and seemed to have a good temperament.
After greeting everyone, Fu Xian first brought over the gift she had brought, a longevity lock: "This was taken from the Tang family's storeroom. We were quite busy at home, so I couldn't come to my little niece's one-month celebration. I came today specifically to give this gift."
After saying that, she was about to put it on Zhu Fanfan, but Liu Yumin took it and said, "Fanfan is still too young to wear it. I'll keep it for now and give it to her when she grows up. I'll tell her that it was given to her by her third aunt."
Fu Xian remained gentle and didn't say anything more. She said, "Mom, I heard that my eldest sister came over and made a scene. Don't take it to heart. I'll talk to her when I have time. She's under a lot of pressure. She carries the burden of the whole family. She might say things without thinking. Don't upset yourself."
Fu Xian didn't think she needed to beat around the bush. Family members should speak frankly with each other. She remembered when the situation was unstable, her father was forced to cooperate with foreigners. When her father refused to cooperate, he was taken away. It was her mother who took charge and organized people to build up the defenses of the Fu mansion, preventing bad guys from entering and threatening her father.
She also can't forget how a person who had never managed a factory before, in order to prevent the Fu family business from being swallowed up, contacted the old servants to empty the factory while her father was detained, leaving those people with only an empty shell. Because her mother didn't understand business, the only thing she could do was to move these things so that they wouldn't fall into the hands of bad people. To this day, she still doesn't know how her mother moved those things.
Tan Fuya was finally less heartbroken, at least one of her daughters was on her side: "It's her own fault for being under so much pressure. Before the Luo family fell, she had no say in any of the big or small matters of the Luo family. Her mother-in-law and several sisters-in-law ganged up on her. She has forgotten how difficult those days were. When the Luo family fell on hard times, no one in the family could stand up for themselves. It was your father who was afraid that she would suffer, so he got her a job as an accountant in the factory so that she could have a better life."
And what happened? You can't overfeed a person, and the same goes for your own daughter. Because she was the only one with a salary, her in-laws coaxed her into giving her salary to the Luo family to supplement their household expenses, using the excuse that they hadn't separated the family. She got carried away by the praise from those mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, and she proudly showed off her abilities. She was put on a pedestal and couldn't get down, so she desperately gave money to the Luo family.
When she came to the Fu family for more money because her salary wasn't enough, they felt sorry for their daughter and kept giving her money so that their granddaughter wouldn't suffer. But her appetite grew bigger and bigger, which made them suspicious. When they investigated, they were almost furious. They were so kind of people to sever ties with her.
Fu Xian naturally supported her mother: "Mother, my eldest sister is just confused for a moment. She will understand sooner or later. I plan to stay for a few more days this time. My mother-in-law gave me a leave of absence."
