Free Web NovelChapter 68: Chapter 68: She Already Has So Much, What’s Wrong With Giving Up Her Man?
The news that Mrs. Fu was going to Beijing City with her daughter and son-in-law quickly spread through all the streets and alleys.
Of course, it also reached the ears of the Fu family.
"Mother, since your second daughter-in-law is going off to the big city with that girl Mingxue to live a comfortable life, her house will just be sitting empty. Why not let our Junyang live there? It’s perfect timing for his wedding."
Bian Yuqiao, who was listening intently off to the side, was not happy about this.
’Second Sister-in-law’s house is really nice. How can it just be given to the eldest brother’s family?’
’This Eldest Sister-in-law is so shameless, just saying whatever pops into her head.’
Old Mrs. Fu had always doted on her eldest grandson the most, so she agreed without hesitation. "Of course! They aren’t living there anymore, so why shouldn’t they give up the house? It would be absurd not to."
"When the time comes, we’ll decorate it a bit and use it as Junyang’s marital home."
Yan Hongwei was overjoyed.
She was all smiles. "Mother, it’s wonderful that you agree. But what if she doesn’t agree?"
Old Mrs. Fu was unconcerned. "She’s already leaving. Who cares if she agrees or not? When the time comes, we’ll just pry the lock off and replace it. What’s the big deal?"
"Is she going to make a special trip all the way back here? I don’t think so."
Yan Hongwei thought about it and agreed.
’She’ll be so far away. Even if she did rush back, so what? My son would already be living there by then.’
The thought filled her with glee.
Bian Yuqiao saw that they had already settled the matter.
She felt even more bitter and jealous inside.
’Their mother-in-law is so biased toward the eldest son’s family. Why didn’t she offer that nice house to us?’
"Grandma, Mom, is this really going to work? I don’t think it will!" Fu Junyang said timidly.
He was mainly afraid of Fu Mingxue’s husband.
’He was so intimidating that day. If we steal his wife’s mother’s house, won’t he get angry enough to come after me?’
"Mom, I think the house I’m living in now is fine—"
Seeing her eldest son acting so spineless, Yan Hongwei was fuming.
Just as she was about to scold him, her second son, Fu Junbao, spoke up with a grin, "Mom, if Eldest Brother doesn’t want it, then give it to me! I’m not young anymore either, and I’ll need to get married too. Eldest Brother might be scared, but I’m not."
Yan Hongwei was momentarily speechless.
"Fine," she declared. "This house will belong to your older brother. In the future, your father, your grandparents, and I will live here with him."
"Couldn’t be better! It’s settled then. That house is mine," Fu Junbao said gleefully.
Old Man Fu didn’t say a word, which was his way of giving tacit approval.
After all, his second son’s family’s house was indeed a good one.
Besides, they were leaving anyway. The house would just be sitting empty, so it was better for someone to live in it.
As the old saying goes, an empty house deteriorates quickly. A house needs the presence of people to be maintained.
’He was just doing it for the good of his second son’s family’s house, of course.’
The family happily decided on the ownership of someone else’s house.
Bian Yuqiao was incredibly jealous.
’On what grounds?!’
’No way. If my family can’t have it, I’m not going to let the eldest brother’s family get it so easily.’
’If I tell Second Sister-in-law this news... wouldn’t she feel a little closer to me?’
She made an excuse and returned to her own home.
After some thought, she called her daughter over. "Mingya, go tell your Second Aunt that the eldest family is eyeing her house. Say they’re planning to pry the lock and move in as soon as they leave."
"Be smart about it. Fu Mingxue’s husband is capable enough to take her mother with them. You should spend more time with Mingxue these next few days. If you beg her, maybe she can take you with them too."
Fu Mingya’s eyes lit up instantly.
’That’s right! I can beg Fu Mingxue to take me with her!’
Ever since she saw that man that day, her dreams had been filled with him.
She had never in her life seen a man more handsome or with a more commanding presence.
’I want to marry him—’
’Fu Mingxue is so lucky and already has so much. What’s wrong with her giving her amazing man to me, her cousin?’
