Free Web NovelChapter 50: Chapter 50: Slinking Away
The Fu family’s eyes were green with greed. They looked like they wanted to tear her apart.
Just then, a clear male voice sounded from behind Mrs. Fu:
"Mom, what’s wrong?"
Qin Wenhao was standing beside Mrs. Fu.
He was tall and carried himself straight. As his sharp gaze swept over them, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. freewebnøvel.com
The Fu family members and the neighbors were stunned when they saw Qin Wenhao.
’Heavens, what did Fu Mingxue do in her past life? The man she found is this incredible.’
"──Mom, are they here to cause trouble?"
"Son-in-law, these are people from the Fu family. For elders, they have no dignity or grace. They’re trying to force me to hand over Mingxue’s betrothal gift!"
The Fu family members: ...?
’Shameless!’
’We might have been thinking it, but when did we ever force her?’
Qin Wenhao’s presence became overwhelming.
His gaze, even sharper now, swept over the Fu family members.
"You want my wife’s betrothal gift?"
His frigid voice was chilling, sending a shiver straight up from the soles of their feet.
Eldest Fu hadn’t expected the man’s gaze to land directly on him.
That look—he was sure of it. It was filled with killing intent, as if the man wanted him dead.
He immediately and meekly stammered, "N-No—we just—came to see you—"
"Son-in-law, back then, the Fu family took eight hundred yuan from Mingxue’s father’s pension. Later, they tried to take our house, so I had no choice but to give them five yuan every month. I’ve been giving it to them all these years. I could let that slide, but now they’ve even got their eyes on my Mingxue’s betrothal gift money. I can’t tolerate this anymore—"
Qin Wenhao immediately said, "Mom, don’t worry. The betrothal gift belongs to Mingxue. No one is going to take that money."
After he finished speaking, his sharp eyes once again swept menacingly over the Fu family members.
"My father-in-law’s pension back then was one thousand yuan, and you took eight hundred? And you made my mother-in-law pay you five yuan a month? What, was my father-in-law the only son in the Fu family?"
The Fu family members: ...?
"A martyr’s pension is for the comrade’s immediate family and spouse. Even if it were distributed in thirds, the parents only get one share. You can’t just take the whole eight hundred. It seems I need to go ask the people who handled this back then just how they do their jobs."
The Fu family members: ...?
"We are Mingxue’s grandparents. You’re our granddaughter’s husband. Shouldn’t we come and see our grandson-in-law?"
Qin Wenhao spoke unhurriedly, "You could have. I’ve already prepared gifts and was planning to visit later. I just didn’t expect you to show up at our door demanding the betrothal gift first."
He had indeed prepared gifts earlier.
That was why he had gone to the supply co-op.
Old Man Fu’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this.
"In that case, let’s leave it at that. We’ll be heading back now."
Old Mrs. Fu’s eyes widened.
’Are we just leaving like that?’
’We agreed to come here and stop this marriage.’
But Old Man Fu shot her a glare, making her swallow her words.
Seeing the two elders leave, the other Fu family members scurried after them. free𝑤ebnovel.com
The neighbors: ...?
But you couldn’t blame the Fu family for being cowards.
Given the imposing presence of Fu Mingxue’s husband—they would have been just as scared.
"Mom, come on, let’s go inside."
Qin Wenhao’s repeated use of "Mom" made Mrs. Fu overjoyed.
It also made the lingering neighbors endlessly envious.
’Where did she find such a good son-in-law?’
The front door was closed once again.
"Son-in-law, eat up!"
Mrs. Fu placed a large chicken drumstick in Qin Wenhao’s bowl.
Qin Wenhao moved the drumstick into Fu Mingxue’s bowl.
Fu Mingxue: ...?
