1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 536 Well, they actually managed to trick them out of it.

Fu family
Fu's mother came home quite early today because it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, and she spent the whole way thinking about what dishes to cook for dinner.

When I got to my doorstep, I saw my third son's wife chatting with someone.

As you get closer, you can faintly hear words like 'bias'.

With a jerk, she brought the bicycle right up to Zhang Yurong's side: "What are you talking about?"

Her voice startled Zhang Yurong, who stammered, "Mom, why are you so early today?"

Madam Fu rolled her eyes at her, deliberately trying to trick her: "If you hadn't come back earlier, how would you have heard what you were saying?"

This terrified Zhang Yurong: "Mom, no, I was just talking nonsense, I wasn't talking about you."

Well, they actually managed to trick them out of it.

The second daughter-in-law of the Ding family in the next courtyard, who was chatting with Zhang Yurong, was stunned. She frantically tried to wink at Zhang Yurong, but Zhang Yurong didn't understand and asked directly, "Yufeng, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Yufeng was so angry she almost fell over: "He usually seems so shrewd, how come he made such a stupid mistake at such a crucial moment?"
Seeing that Zhang Yurong didn't understand what he meant, he simply ignored her and said, "I still have some food stewing on the stove, I'll go back first."

Madam Fu wouldn't bother lecturing unrelated people; after nodding, she went straight into the courtyard.

Seeing her mother-in-law's expression, Zhang Yurong knew she had gotten into trouble again and quickly followed her inside.

It was a holiday, and Fu's mother didn't want to argue with her. Besides, she was busy preparing dinner, so she ignored her. It wasn't until everyone in the family came home in the evening and the food was on the table that she finally got around to talking to her.

After dinner, Fu's mother spoke up: "I mentioned before that we would separate the family after the fourth son gets married, and that will not change. So no matter what you are thinking, please be patient. As for whether your father and I have been biased, you know perfectly well."

Besides, even the ten fingers aren't all the same length, let alone people's hearts. Even if there's favoritism, it's still about putting yourself in someone else's shoes.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yurong knew it was specifically addressed to her, but in front of so many people, she didn't have the courage to stand up and apologize to her mother-in-law, so she remained silent and acted like a quail.

Seeing her expression, Fu Yanhong knew that his wife had probably caused trouble again today, so he had to step in to smooth things over: "Mom, why are you saying these things on such a holiday? It's such a downer. Besides, I have no intention of separating the family."

That's true. He really has no intention of separating the family. His daughter, Fu Jinyi, is still young and doesn't need to contribute to the household expenses. His wife takes care of everything, and he doesn't have to lift a finger. His parents take care of everyone, so he doesn't want to separate the family and live separately.

He quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Mom, why didn't my second brother and sister-in-law come back this year?"

His second brother and sister-in-law would come back every year for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they would take away most of the benefits that his parents received from their workplace. This year, it's strange that the couple didn't come back.

It would have been better if this hadn't been mentioned; bringing it up only made Fu's mother feel worse.

However, she didn't want to talk about what her second son and his wife had done: "He's already so old, and Jinze is five years old. How long am I supposed to take care of him? Once the fourth son gets married, his good days will be over. After the family is separated, he will naturally have to take on the responsibility of supporting the family. I can't expect your father and me to support him forever."

The meaning is clear: once the fourth son gets married, the monthly allowance for the second son will be gone.

The eldest and second eldest sons exchanged a glance, both noticing that something was wrong with their mother, but they didn't dare ask why.
