Chapter 704: Chapter 704

Huihui, with her big belly, looked unhappy.

"Jianguo, I want to eat grapes, hurry up and buy them for me. And get two pounds of pig’s feet."

Since getting married, the two hadn’t had children. Now that she’s finally pregnant, Huihui behaves like the Empress Dowager, constantly demanding this and that.

She’s just short of asking for the stars and moon from the sky.

Fan Jianguo is known for his good temper. When it comes to his wife, he truly indulges her.

At his age, he’s considered a late groom. Finally getting married and having his own child, he would naturally pamper his wife.

"Got it, I’ll go buy them for you now, and then I’ll get two pounds of pig’s feet for you. Anything else you want, let me know so I can buy it all together. It saves you from waking up in the middle of the night wanting to eat this and that."

Sometimes he doesn’t understand, how can two pregnancies be so different?

Look at his niece Xiao Xiao, she’s pregnant with twins, not picky at all, eats whatever she’s given, so easy to care for.

Never causes trouble for Song Moting.

Never made Song Moting go out in the middle of the night to find tofu brain or fried dough sticks or anything.

Then look at his wife, who just falls short of treating herself as the Empress Dowager.

Not only does she keep herself busy, but she also runs her own mother ragged.

"Just buy this for now. Go get it and when I think of other things, I’ll let you know later. Right now, I haven’t thought of anything. Every time I crave something in the middle of the night, it’s not me who wants it, it’s the child in my belly."

Huihui finally got pregnant, and her mother even found someone to check, saying her belly is pointy, definitely a boy.

Fan Jianguo has a son at thirty.

Huihui immediately felt like a hero of the Fan family.

With confidence, she became even more arrogant.

Fan Jianguo had to take the car keys and leave.

As soon as Fan Jianguo left, Mrs. Fan pulled aside the curtain and peeked in.

It’s almost noon, and she thought her daughter-in-law must be hungry. Ask her what she wants to eat, otherwise, if she makes something not to her taste, this young madam can be very difficult to serve, refusing to eat.

Mrs. Fan feared her daughter-in-law might starve the child in her belly.

"Huihui, what do you want to eat for lunch?"

Huihui frowned, Mrs. Fan always comes into their room , not even knocking.

"Mom, I want to eat dumplings for lunch, with three delicacies filling, and pork and green onion. Make two types of fillings. Also, make a cucumber salad, that tastes refreshing, add more vinegar to it."

Mrs. Fan nodded, "Alright, I’ll go to the market now and get the ingredients for you."

Her youngest son is finally going to have a child, as a mother, she naturally had to serve her daughter-in-law well.

As soon as Mrs. Fan left, Fang Xiaohui arrived. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ nοvelfire.net

It’s not her first time coming to the Fan family’s courtyard.

Previously wanting to get closer to Fan Jianguo, Fang Xiaohui had visited.

But Fan Jianguo was lukewarm to her, so on impulse, Fang Xiaohui stopped coming.

Not to mention after she fell out with Fan Xiuying and the others, she hadn’t come at all.

She didn’t attend Fan Jianguo’s wedding.

Her visit now was indeed awkward.

Fang Xiaohui saw Fan Jianguo and Mrs. Fan leave before daring to come in.

These past few days, Fang Xiaohui hadn’t been idle.

She had already investigated this Huihui.

No choice, know thyself and the enemy, only then can you fight a hundred battles without defeat.

If she can’t get the money, she can’t deal with Brother Yong.

This Liu Huili has two younger brothers and a younger sister at home.

When marrying Fan Jianguo, her family demanded a hefty bride price, asking for 1,000 yuan.

In those days, that was simply sky-high.

Of course, they dared to ask because Liu Huili felt confident after the kidnapping incident involving Old Mrs. and Mr. Fan, knowing for sure that Fan Jianguo had money.

Besides, she dared to ask for money because Liu Huili had already laid the groundwork with Fan Jianguo, always crying about the difficulty of her family’s situation, how her siblings all depend on their parents for support, but their parents’ meager salary struggled to raise them and support their education.

After she, the eldest sister got married, her family lost a breadwinner.

Not giving her parents a substantial bride price seemed like a disservice to them.

Fan Jianguo was inherently soft-hearted, and Liu Huili was the woman he was most satisfied with, naturally because Liu Huili was very good at playing the part in front of him.

Gentle, understanding, considerate.

A girl like that, Fan Jianguo naturally found it reasonable to consider her family’s situation. If it were him, he’d have to think of his family too.

So he didn’t mind the 1,000 yuan bride price; it’s not like he didn’t have the money.

Of course, in other wedding arrangements, Liu Huili was never shortchanged, with clothing, gold and silver jewelry, along with large household items like furniture and appliances, Fan Jianguo gave her the best of everything.

From Fan Jianguo’s point of view, marrying a wife was not easy.

At such an age, his wife is five or six years younger than him, to marry him must be for the sake of stable life he could provide.

He didn’t mind those material things; it was just material stuff, after all.

Plus, since taking over the store, he had high profits and significant income, and money was less of an issue.

With money in hand, he naturally spent lavishly.

Not to mention, he thought spending the money was only for the benefit of his own family.

But when Liu Huili wanted Fan Jianguo to continue giving money to help her siblings after marriage, Fan Jianguo wasn’t happy.

A few times, it was okay, but asking every household expense from Fan Jianguo wasn’t agreeable to him.

He didn’t want to be married to his wife’s entire family, no man would.

Moreover, her father and mother-in-law were difficult; they asked for everything from their son-in-law whenever they spoke.

As time went on, Fan Jianguo grew disinterested with that family; they seemed so short-sighted.

Moreover, the myriad aunts and uncles would occasionally come to their house for handouts, eventually Fan Jianguo truly got angry.

He had never felt so put out in his life; even when his older brother and sister-in-law schemed against him, they had some restraint, yet even that meant the sister-in-law wasn’t well-regarded in his heart. Now his wife’s family simply saw him as a cash dispenser.

As if he were running a bank!

After a fierce outburst, her family didn’t dare visit anymore.

The key was not just because Fan Jianguo rarely got angry, but when he did, few could handle it. Of course, her mother-in-law also thought ahead, making sure not to provoke him too much, lest they cut off this avenue permanently.

Fang Xiaohui already found out that while Fan Jianguo does not support her family, Liu Huili uses all her monthly wages for them.

Liu Huili is now managing the procurement funds for Fan Jianguo’s department store, occasionally taking small amounts secretly to subsidize her family; otherwise, why would her family be so quiet and not make noise?

But Fan Jianguo doesn’t know this; Fang Xiaohui’s investigation results.

Suspecting this Liu Huili isn’t a peaceful person, might have already moved a significant amount of money.

This is the best entry point.

Liu Huili lacks money, and the lack makes her greedy.
