Chapter 1072: Chapter 1072 Woken Up by Scolding

Kong Cunlai knew his daughter-in-law was angry, "Xiangrui, your wife is still pregnant, take her back to the room to rest."

After Kong Xiangrui left with Lu Yiting, Fu Yaohui turned to his aunt Fu Lanhua and said, "Isn’t that being too delicate? She does nothing yet still gets tired, acting like some rich princess or something."

Hao Chunyan detested this entire side of the family, and Youyou spoke up, "Well, she actually is a rich princess, she has the right to be delicate."

At that moment, Eldest Brother Kong Xiangru spoke up, "If there’s nothing else, I need to get going."

Fu Sanqiang saw everyone was leaving, "Don’t go, what about the house buying matter?"

Bai Liping stood up, "Uncle, about buying the house, I’ve made it clear to you, we can’t help. Linggang and Linghui are not young anymore. If we had money, we would’ve bought our own house a long time ago."

Fu Sanqiang pointed angrily at Bai Liping, "Lanhua, what do you say?"

Fu Lanhua glanced at everyone in the room, "Big Brother, buying a house is indeed no small matter. Now that we’ve split up the family, I hardly have any money at hand. Perhaps you should think of another way."

The words of her son reminded her. As she got older, she would still need to depend on her sons. She didn’t want to help, she simply had no money saved. Forcing her sons might just lead to grievances.

Look, when it came to her own interests, the situation was different.

Before the family split, she had money at hand and would cater to Big Brother’s every request. Now that they had split, she needed to think about her own future and her mind was clearer.

Fu Sanqiang grew angrier, "Lanhua, nicely done. Big Brother really wasted his affection on you. You won’t even help your own nephew; seems like you’re not counting on your nephews to support you in the future."

When he said that, it almost made a few of the nieces-in-law laugh. The disdain and sarcasm in their eyes really made the nephews lose face.

Even back in her own room, Lu Yiting, who had been drinking water, heard these shouts from the living room and sprayed the water out, thinking how audacious her uncle was to say such things. It seemed like there was something wrong with the Fu family’s brains.

For so many years, they had relied on their two sisters to get by, and still, he could say such brainless things, really absurd.

Fu Sanqiang left with his son, still cursing Fu Lanhua as ungrateful and traitorous.

Fu Lanhua had been well-off as a child, but one year her family had faced trouble and needed a lot of money. Back then, her grandmother thought about selling the two granddaughters for money, but her brother Fu Sanqiang protected them and refused to let them be sold, and thus Fu Lanhua and Fu Qiaoni were spared.

Therefore, the Fu family always mentioned this, reminding the two sisters to remember their brother’s kindness, support him when they grew up, and not be ungrateful.

After hearing her brother’s words, Fu Lanhua also felt aggrieved. All these years, whenever Big Brother asked, she would comply, but now she was unable to pull out the money to buy a house for her nephew, and yet her brother berated her as ungrateful and a betrayer in front of so many people.

Kong Cunlai placed his teacup on the table and looked at Fu Lanhua, "About buying the house, our family indeed is powerless. I advise you to know where to draw the line in the future. It’s about time to repay that debt of gratitude. We can’t always bring it up."

After finishing, he looked at his sons, "During the holidays, let each family celebrate on their own. It’s simpler that way."

Kong Xiangru and Kong Xianglin both called out, "Dad."

Their faces were full of apologetic expressions.

Kong Cunlai smiled, "Don’t blame yourselves. I just want some peace."

It dawned on Fu Lanhua like sudden enlightenment; she understood her husband’s intentions. He didn’t want to put their sons in a difficult position, and also wanted to protect her. After all these years of her foolish acts, he had still tolerated her.

Looking back at her own family whom she had always protected and loved, just because she couldn’t meet their expectations, they called her ungrateful and a betrayer, seemingly forgetting her previous contributions.

Fu Lanhua looked at the silent people in the room, "Let’s do as your dad said. It was mom’s fault before. From now on, I won’t involve you in matters of your uncle’s family. Go on, get busy."

Kong Xiangru felt something was off with his mom, "Mom, are you alright?"

Fu Lanhua smiled, "Don’t worry. Your uncle’s scolding woke me up."

Everyone pondered over Fu Lanhua’s remark, wondering what she meant. Was it that she realized the futility of her previous efforts, thought that her sons were more important, or was hurt by her own brother’s words?

Regardless, if she really was ’awakened by the scolding,’ that was probably a good thing. They wouldn’t have to support her uncle’s family anymore, and perhaps there would be fewer conflicts at home.

Fu Lanhua waved her hand, "Alright, you all go and get busy."
