Such a big matter, Tian Guihua didn't dare to make the decision alone, but she didn't say anything during dinner. Instead, she waited until late at night and went back to her room before discussing it with Fu Baimian.

"Is that really true?"

Tian Guihua, seeing Fu Baiwan's excited attitude, knew he disagreed.

"I disagree. That Fan family is not a good family at all! No, it's impossible, no matter how much we argue about it."

Tian Guihua patted him, "Keep your voice down, don't wake up the little girl, and don't let those others hear."

Many people, diverse backgrounds, even if it doesn't work out, we shouldn't damage their reputation.

Fujujiao is actually awake, but she keeps her eyes closed pretending to be asleep.

"Anyway, I disagree. Those previous marriages, none of them compare to Fan Jiaqiang's."

Tian Guihua sighed. She and her husband had been together for almost a lifetime; how could she not know his temper?

"I know you don't agree, and I didn't say I did either, but this isn't easy to handle, is it?"

"What's there to worry about? Just tell Sān Jīn directly." Fù Bǎiwàn dealt with his sons in a straightforward manner, without any beating around the bush.

"It's not something you can just say outright," Tian Guihua sighed. "The eldest and second sons both chose their own partners, and we didn't stop them. Now it's the third son's turn, and if you say no, what do you think will happen to him?"

"I don't care what he thinks? I'm his father."

Tian Guihua stopped speaking and just stared at him, until he felt uneasy.

"What do you think I'm doing? Look, I'm his father too. Does he even listen to me?"

Tian Guihua remained silent.

Fu Jiujiao didn't look at her parents' faces, but she knew her father was about to surrender.

I have my dad wrapped around my finger. Whatever I want, he gives it to me.

As expected, when he saw that she was still silent, Fu Baiwan's tone softened immediately. "Then what do you want to do?"

>“It’s better to prevent problems than to deal with them after they happen.”

Fu JiuJiu has always felt that if her mother were a wise person, she would definitely achieve something great in modern times if she studied and learned to read.

Father is a good man, but with this hot temper and authoritarian style, it would be difficult to manage such a large family without Mother's help.

"Alright, alright. You say whatever you want, but I'm not agreeing to this. That family doesn't have good intentions. They're definitely up to something bad."

Fu Baiman spent his days taking his daughter out to show off, and he heard quite a bit of gossip. It was just idle talk, though, and he didn't want to damage his daughter's reputation.

"That San Mei girl isn't the type to look at our three golds."

Dian Guihua also thought so.

The next day, Tian Guihua told Fu Sanjin that her daughter-in-law's matter had to wait until after the house was built. Right now, their family was very busy and didn't have the time or energy to properly entertain the girl's family.

Fu Sanjin of course wouldn't think too much about it, leaving everything to his parents' decision.

Fu Chi-chiu knew, though, that her mother was shrewd. Having finished building the house, she would be busy with the autumn harvest. When the harvest ended, some foxes would show their tails.

The weather is hot, the wild animals that come have to be sold quickly.

With the house under construction, Fu Sijin had no choice but to go to town alone, and she had to make it quick.

"Tweet tweet go."

"Chirpy wants to go with Third Brother too, huh?" Fu Sanjin scooped up the little dumpling.

Fujujiao nodded, "Fourth Brother."

Everyone heard it and thought Xiao Jiujiu was so adorable. This must be thinking of the Fourth Brother.

As usual, Fu Baiwan would definitely disagree. But now that the family has a new house under construction and there is no place to stay, besides being overcrowded.

"Go back, if you dare to lose your sister, I'll fight you to the death."

Fu Sanjin chuckled, "Father, just rest assured. Even if I lost my head, I wouldn't abandon Jiujiu."

Moreover, Fu Sanjin thought her little sister was too clever and shrewd. She wouldn't let strangers touch her from a young age. Let alone holding her, even just touching her would make her cry.

"Mother, then I'll go too. It's also convenient to take care of my younger sister."

Zhou also came over.

Tian Guihua saw through her little scheme at once, "No need, Jiujing just went to the bathroom this morning. She can handle it herself."

There's no way to escape tedious work.

Zhou felt unhappy but didn't show it. She still wanted to buy some fabric, the pink one she had before had been seen by her mother and given to her younger sisters.

Zhou swore she would never show off again.

Fu Sanjin put the little dumpling in the basket. There was food and drink inside, and swaying back and forth, Fu Jiujiao felt this was a good place to sleep.

When we passed by Fan's house, we coincidentally met Fan Sanmei.

Fu Jiujiu nestled in the basket, able to hear that it wasn't as planned. It was Fan Sanyi "running into" her.

"Sanjin, what a coincidence, I'm going to the town too. Let's go together?"

Fujujiao saw that her third brother's neck was red, "Hee hee, okay."

Fu Jiujiu seems to have figured it out. All along, Fan Sansmei has been the one making the moves, and her brother is just passively accepting them. As the saying goes, "A woman chasing a man across a layer of gauze," no wonder her brother, this iron tree, is about to blossom.

"Chirp chirp, are you tired?"

"My goodness, how come there's still someone here?" Fan Sanmei was startled.

Fujujiu stretched lazily, feeling like she didn't exist at all.

Staying in the basket for a long time was indeed uncomfortable. After Fu Chiu Chiu nodded, he was picked up by Fu San Jin and brought to the front, being fed water and snacks again.

Fan Sanmei was ignored and pouted, turning her back to Fu Sanjin who didn't see Fan Sanmei rolling her eyes.

Fuju saw this, and whispered, "Scary… scary… big sister is scary…"

Fu Sijin looked back at Fan Sansui, "Are you being noisy?"

Fan Sanmei was so angry she wanted to hit someone, "No, Sānjīn, how could I possibly be mean to her? Hehe, I like her very much!"

"Right? Chirp chirp? Big sister is playing with you, I didn't scare you!"

Don't pull my leg.

Fu Jiujiu learned from her and rolled her eyes, then pursed her lips.

But under the filter of her older brother, she does whatever Fu Sijīn finds adorable.

It's strange, he's just too innocent.

Fan Sanmei is so angry, with this little girl around, a lot of things are hard to handle.

Fujujiao could clearly feel Fan Sanmei didn't like her being the light bulb. And to be fair, who would want to be a light bulb?

Fu Sanjin had harvests every time he went into the mountains this year, and he also gained some regular customers for his wild game. He didn't have to stand on the street; instead, he went directly to familiar restaurants and sold his wild chickens.

Many wealthy people like these things, saying they smell better than those raised at home.

Fu Sanjin felt that it wasn't all meat, and what kind of meat wouldn't be delicious.

Fu Sanjin sold his meat and skin this time for three hundred wen, and he could make a good profit after a month.

"Chirp chirp, do you want to eat meat buns? Big brother will buy you some?"

Fan Sanmei, however, cleared her throat at this moment.

Fu Sanjin only then remembered that Fan Sanmei was also with them. He had been so focused on the little girl that he had forgotten about her.

"Sānměi, would you like to eat meat buns?"

"I don't eat." Fan Sanmei said politely.

"Oh, then Jiejie, Third Brother will buy you a big steamed bun to eat."

Fan San Mei was furious, this is just a piece of wood.
