Zhu Fanfan asked, "Did you hand me the one I just grabbed?"
Xue Zhaodi didn't deny it, but glared at him: "Are you going to listen or not?"
Zhu Fanfan immediately cowered and nodded vigorously: "Listen, sister, tell me quickly! Fanfan wants to hear it."
The younger sister's coquettishness was like a ray of light, warming people's hearts. Xue Zhaodi didn't keep them in suspense any longer and continued, "Mom only stopped when she was tired of beating them. The two mountains of Widow Xin's house were beaten black and blue and couldn't move. Even Dad was beaten several times."
After saying that, he imitated Fu Jing's tone: "You two illegitimate children, didn't you want to hit me? Come on! If I don't beat you to death today, your vixen mother will never know what a legal wife is. I will tell all the neighbors what your mother's name is, where she lives, and that your mother is shameless for seducing a married man. She should be drowned. You two bastards should not live."
Then, imitating Xue Fu's voice, he said, "Fu Jing, what are you saying! This is a new society now. You'll get arrested if you talk nonsense. They're just my friend's children. They're shouting because they miss their father so much. You're a mother too..."
He imitated Fu Jing's voice again: "They lost their father because they were unlucky, because their mother brought bad luck to them. I am a mother, and I will only be good to my own children. They are just outsiders, what are they? You are the father of my children. I will beat anyone who calls you 'father' except my children. Don't say that you lost your father. Even if you lost both your parents, it's not okay. Don't bring disaster to me because you are unlucky."
Then came Luo Xing's voice: "Fu Jing, what are you saying? Don't you have any compassion? The children are already so pitiful, can't you be a little kinder and let them feel a father's love? They don't live with us and don't want our things, what have you lost?"
Xue Zhaodi was talking enthusiastically, but Zhu Fanfan laughed. She thought her eldest sister's radiant appearance was more charming. The Xue family was too much of a cage for people.
Seeing her younger sister grinning foolishly, Xue Zhaodi paused for a moment before saying, "No matter what Dad and Grandma say, Mom is adamant that the child can't call him Dad. She's adamant and even wants to go find Widow Xin. Dad and the others keep trying to persuade her to let it go..."
As they were talking animatedly, Xue Zhaodi chimed in, saying that they were from Widow Xin's family. She had been severely beaten by her father for complaining to her maternal grandfather, which made her feel very guilty. She also mentioned that her sisters were bad cooks, causing their mother to eat pig swill for several days, and apologized again for her ignorance.
Fu Jing's memory immediately kicked in. Without listening to any explanation, she concluded that Xue Fu and Widow Xin were having an affair and wanted to report them to the police so that they could be arrested and paraded through the streets. When they heard that the police were going to be called, Widow Xin's two mountains trembled with fear. Xue Fu and Luo Xing were also frightened because of Fu Jing's spoiled nature; she was truly daring.
Xue Zhaodi said with a hint of relief, "When I first noticed those two mountains, I found them strange. Upon closer inspection, I realized that the two people looked exactly like my father. I was certain that they were my father's illegitimate children, and that they had designed those two mountains for him. After I was beaten, my mother even blamed me for causing trouble."
When it happened to her, she became surprisingly sensible! At that time, she was completely disillusioned with her mother and no longer held any hope for her. She started thinking more about herself and prioritizing her own safety when faced with problems. Sure enough, life became much more comfortable after she became selfish.
Zhu Fanfan still advised, "Xue Fu is not easy to get along with. Be careful and don't let him catch you doing anything wrong."
Xue Zhaodi said confidently, "Having been in the Xue family for so many years, I have some experience in dealing with them. I am very careful. Besides, my grandfather has already laid out the bait. As long as I use that 120,000 to my advantage, my father will not dare to go too far."
In the past, Dad might not have cared about 120,000, but the house was robbed, and the belongings left with Widow Xin were also stolen. What could cause Widow Xin heartache and Dad headaches must not be a small amount. Now that Dad is penniless, he will only value the share of his three daughters even more and will not let anything happen to them.
"To survive in the Xue family, one must possess extraordinary abilities," Zhu Fanfan asked. "You also inherited the Xue family's talents, didn't you?"
Xue Zhaodi looked puzzled. What kind of talent did the Xue family have? How come she didn't know?
Zhu Fanfan didn't say anything: "When I have time, I'll teach you a set of military boxing. You should practice it well to strengthen your body and protect yourself."
Xue Zhaodi was naturally happy, but she refused: "Let's not see each other anymore. I'm afraid my parents will overthink it and bother you."
Zhu Fanfan said to herself, "It's okay, I'll make an excuse to get them to let you come."
Xue Zhaodi looked at the sun: "I've been out for quite a while now, I need to hurry back, you take good care of yourself."
Watching her older sister's departing figure, Zhu Fanfan thought for a moment and then went to the factory to find her grandfather. She felt that there were some things she should ask her grandfather for advice on.
Upon seeing her maternal grandfather, Zhu Fanfan said she wanted to have a private conversation with him. Fang Zhiguo, sensing the situation, withdrew. Seeing that no one was in the office, Zhu Fanfan went straight to the point: "Xue Fu should have other assets. How can we find out what his remaining assets are?"
Fu Minghao: ...
Zhu Fanfan recounted what happened today, concluding, "He's still so arrogant even after all his family assets have been taken. He must still have other assets. Rather than giving them to his illegitimate son, he might as well let my people take them. It doesn't matter who gets them, right?"
Fu Minghao blinked for a moment before snapping back to reality: "That's simple. Don't underestimate Fu Jing. She's not just a crybaby. My children may be lazy and wait to die, but they have all the necessary means to protect themselves. Only Fu Jing can force Xue Fu to hand over his private assets."
Even though Fu Jing was determined to marry Xue Fu, she never suffered financial loss. Other women, once they fell in love with a man, would give him their entire fortune. The pampered young ladies who never lifted a finger would do the laundry and cooking for the man, take care of his family, never fight back or talk back, and humble themselves to the dust.
But Fu Jing is different. The house is in her name. Even though Xue Fu repeatedly hinted that he wanted to add her name, she didn't waver at all. He even doubted whether Xue Fu had ever seen the property certificate.
As for marital property, what's his is hers, and what's hers is still hers. Everything is negotiable except for money. Xue Fu's salary is all in her hands, and she doesn't do any housework.
If her mother-in-law doesn't want to do it, Xue Fu will do it. If Xue Fu doesn't want to do it, she'll cry and whine, stabbing herself in the heart with the sharpest knife. Xue Fu can't brainwash her, which is one of the reasons he's not worried about her.
Zhu Fanfan asked curiously, "You can get Fu Jing to pressure Xue Fu?"
Fu Minghao smiled and said, "Those two think they're very clever and can be manipulated by others. It would be easy to make them turn against each other."
