Chapter 157 The Fu Family

Fu Family Old House

As long as the old man was still alive, the Fu family did not split up. However, everyone rarely came back to stay because of work and studies. There were only two exceptions.

One is the anniversary of my grandmother's death, and the other is the Spring Festival.

The old man had three sons. His eldest son, Fu Shouheng, had an adopted son, Fu Jingzhou, and a biological son, Fu Yingzhou. His second son, Fu Yishen, had a son named Fu Jizhou. His third son, Fu Xianhuai, had a son named Fu Yuzhou.

The Fu family is entirely composed of men. Although their three daughters-in-law are women, they often make the men forget that the women are women. The eldest son's wife is a strong woman, a shrewd businesswoman. When the eldest son brought Jingzhou home from outside, he almost suffered the loss of his son, but thankfully the misunderstanding was cleared up—Jingzhou wasn't his biological child. This saved his life.

I'd never seen anyone tear apart a Japanese soldier with bare hands during wartime. I almost recreated that scene in my own home.

The second son's wife has a good temper. However, it would be better if she hadn't won the national women's combat sports championship. Although the second son works in the military... it's a civilian position!

The only woman who calls herself a housewife, a virtuous wife and loving mother. The old man's evaluation of her was also just four words!

I don't know what sins he committed. Other people his age are either enjoying a leisurely retirement or taking care of their grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Only he has to worry about his three unfortunate sons!

Jingzhou has gone down the wrong path. Even if he gets married, he can no longer be considered a member of the Fu family. When Yingzhou married Ling Xiaoyue, he almost thought his granddaughters-in-law would be formidable women as well.

Today, he sat in front of the TV, waiting for his second grandson to come home. He said he would let everyone meet his second grandson's wife.

Even my third aunt, who was supposed to be getting her beauty sleep, was still stubbornly playing cards.

When Fu Yingzhou arrived home, the house was brightly lit, and everyone was staring at him.

He glanced at his two younger brothers playing video games to the side.

The two younger brothers wore innocent expressions. Fu Jizhou and Fu Yuzhou knew Shishi's identity. However, without their second brother's instructions, they dared not do anything. They only subtly advised the elders to go back to sleep early. When their persuasion failed, what could they do?

Fu Yingzhou then realized he had forgotten to mention that the person wouldn't be coming; he could only be seen on television. It was all his fault for being too busy lately, having to prepare year-end work summaries and visit retired leaders. He'd been so busy he'd forgotten.

Qian Lina stopped playing mahjong, quickly walked over to Hao Da'er, took his coat, and asked gently, "Did you come back alone?"

Fu Yingzhou answered while changing his shoes, "Mm."

Qian Lina, whose smile was kind but had a hint of eeriness, said, "You don't need to change your shoes."

After saying that, she walked behind Fu Yingzhou, pushed open the door, and threw her coat out the door with a "whoosh".

Brushing non-existent dust off her hands, Qian Lina said nonchalantly, "I don't have such a useless son. If he comes back on his own next time, he doesn't need to come back."

As he walked inside, he muttered to himself, "What a waste of my expensive bag! I haven't even seen a trace of it."

"Yes, you've all seen her.

Qian Lina paused, and the old man stopped pressing the remote control.

His words successfully captivated everyone.

When did we meet?

"Tonight."

"Could it be that you've taken a liking to one of your housekeepers?"

Auntie San's imagination ran wild, and she instantly connected it to the novel she had been reading recently.

Me, a middle-aged man, and my younger brother

Reaching Middle Age, Finding Sweet Love

It's no wonder she came up with such a bizarre connection; besides her daughters-in-law, there were only two elderly nannies in the house.

"Mom! Don't talk nonsense, she's very beautiful!"

Fu Yuzhou was the youngest and also the least able to keep a secret.

His words instantly drew everyone's attention to him.

"You've seen him?"

"The girl who sang 'Landscape Painting' on tonight's Spring Festival Gala."

At that time, the three daughters-in-law and the second son were playing cards.

Only Yingzhou's father and third uncle, who were watching the Spring Festival Gala with the old man, saw it.

Compared to other songs on the Spring Festival Gala, this song left a really deep impression on them.

Well, to put it simply, older people often don't like the songs that are popular with the younger generation these days. It's not that the songs themselves are bad, but rather that they're used to songs with melodious and grand tunes. They find it hard to adjust to other styles at first listen.

"Landscape of Mountains and Rivers" is a rare new style of singing, a song praising the mountains and rivers of the motherland. And the singers are such young singers. After seeing Shi Shi, the old man praised her to his eldest son, saying that the girl was dignified and elegant, and had a loud and clear voice. She was much better than the whiny boy next to her.

"You found a singer?" It was Mr. Fu who asked. He had known for a while that his son had a girlfriend, but his son was already over thirty. He wasn't some clueless young lad. They didn't need to pry into her background.

"At most, only one-third of them can be considered singers."

Qian Lina asked curiously, "What do you mean by that?"

Fu Yingzhou looked at everyone helplessly: "Aren't you all sleepy? Why don't you go to sleep and get some rest? I'll tell you everything tomorrow."

The two "ding-ding" sounds came from my second aunt. She tapped the face of her watch and looked at her second nephew with disapproval: "You're not being precise. It's past 12 o'clock now. This is today."

"But my second and third uncles are already yawning."

The second and third brothers received death stares from the fighting champion and the Sichuan-Chongqing Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Anyone who dares to make them step back from the front lines of gossip is their mortal enemy!

"Her name is Shi Shi, and she'll be 27 after the New Year. She graduated with a master's degree from Peking University and is now a visiting associate professor there. She also runs her own song production company and has shares in other companies. Most of the time, she writes songs for others, but she also sings them occasionally."

Everyone was satisfied with what they heard. Only the third aunt hung her head, somewhat disappointed. She and her sister-in-law had suspected that her second nephew might have some issues with his sexual orientation.

Otherwise, how could he have only ever interacted with Ling Xiaoyue, this ice-cold woman, over the years?

Oh, good news! My second nephew is straight, so my sister-in-law has a son! Bad news! The old scandal is over, and the new one hasn't been discovered yet! Life is so lonely and desolate!

Before he could react, Fu Yingzhou's second aunt looked at her son and said, "Since he's a singer and a teacher at Peking University, there's no reason you wouldn't recognize him."

The Sichuan-Chongqing Tyrannosaurus Rex also realized what was going on: "You two already knew, huh? You were just keeping us elders in suspense, telling us there was such a person and not to ask around or disturb their privacy, while you kept the news a secret from yourselves! I think you're asking for a beating."

She grabbed the moxibustion hammer her sister-in-law was using and swung it at her own son first! "Just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I'm a kitten!"
