Chapter 79: The Son-in-Law Has Real Skill

Published: August 29, 2026 | By peach_blossom

Fang Yuan: “Mom, this time I will let them off, but next time, don’t let me run into them. From childhood until now, apart from me thinking about other people’s pockets, no one has ever dared to think about mine.”

Wang Cuixiang lightly slapped her daughter: “What nonsense are you talking about.” At least try to leave a good impression in front of the son-in-law.

Fang Yuan: “How is that nonsense? Who can take advantage of me? Do they not want a good life anymore?”

Wang Cuixiang coughed from the side, signaling her daughter to rein it in. She already felt uncomfortable in front of the son-in-law.

Lu Chuan felt even more uncomfortable and coughed several times. He had just taken advantage of Fang Yuan, and he had not considered the consequences at all.

Fang Yuan: “Did someone fry chili oil in this house? Why are you all coughing together?” She looked completely innocent.

Wang Cuixiang did not want to listen to her daughter’s speeches anymore and sent them off. “Aren’t you in a hurry to go to the county town? Hurry and go.”

If this went on, it would be bad for the son-in-law to hear. Her daughter’s temperament really needed to be gentler.

But how could she even teach her? As a mother, she had a headache. With Fang Yuan’s personality, Wang Cuixiang both feared her suffering losses from half understanding things, and feared her becoming upset if she understood too much.

So on many matters, Wang Cuixiang had never explained things too clearly to her daughter.

Fang Yuan glanced at the sky. “We should go. How are my eldest brother and second brother doing here?”

Wang Cuixiang: “They are not as sharp as the son-in-law’s brain. They are still not learning enough from losses. After a while they will remember.” Meaning things were not going too well.

Fang Yuan: “Even so, we can’t just watch our own family suffer losses. Mom, you should still manage my eldest brother. If necessary, just hit them a few times and they will remember.”

Lu Chuan glanced at Fang Yuan and thought to himself, Beating the brothers-in-law is fine. But when it comes to our own children in the future, I definitely cannot let Fang Yuan raise them like this. I will have to take charge.

Wang Cuixiang: “Don’t worry about them. They are already old enough. They will figure things out after some experience. Your eldest and second brother still care about you. After hearing about the Li family’s trouble, they wanted to go to your place, but I stopped them.” Li family

Fang Yuan: “You don’t need to speak for them. If I really suffer losses, they won’t get away with it.”

Wang Cuixiang finally showed a smile. This girl really was broad-minded, which was a good thing.

As for the matter of the son-in-law letting his daughter ride the bicycle with him, Wang Cuixiang’s thinking was very straightforward. A healthy young man, letting his wife ride with him, his ears red all the way, looking completely drunk and flustered, what other intentions could there be?

Wang Cuixiang thought even more clearly. If the son-in-law had no feelings at all for her daughter, that would be the real problem.

Knowing that the son-in-law had feelings for her daughter made the mother-in-law feel much more at ease. If this marriage could develop like this, it was truly a blessing from past lives.

To be honest, at the beginning, what Wang Cuixiang worried about most was that the son-in-law would look down on her daughter and only half-heartedly deal with their family.

Seeing the two children like this, she felt very reassured. In a good mood, she even packed two jars of pickled vegetables for the son-in-law and daughter to take with them.

Well, in this era, this kind of thing was really quite good.

Lu Chuan, in front of his mother-in-law, still could not bring himself to be shameless. He insisted he was sober and refused to let Fang Yuan ride with him, firmly insisting he would take her instead.

He really was sober. Wasn’t he the one who had ridden Fang Yuan into the village earlier?

Fang Yuan: “Still talking. If you are not sober, you are not sober. Why are you forcing yourself? Isn’t this just suffering for the sake of saving face?”

Wang Cuixiang, holding the jar of pickles, heard this sentence and quickly closed the courtyard door, afraid the son-in-law would feel embarrassed.

She did not get involved in young people’s playful nonsense.

Lu Chuan heard the door close and immediately grew bolder again. “You hold my waist a bit, so I don’t ride unevenly.”

Fang Yuan: “Will that work?”

Lu Chuan said with a straight face: “It will work.” After saying it, he even felt guilty, but he forced himself to stay steady.

Fang Yuan grabbed his waist with both hands, quite firmly. “Is this okay?” She was trying to stabilize him.

Lu Chuan looked down at her hands. He knew very well that it was impossible for Fang Yuan to act soft and delicate and gently hold him. This kind of firm grip on his waist was actually rare, so he did not push it further. “Mm.”

They set off again. When Wang Cuixiang finally remembered to bring a set of clothes for her youngest son and opened the door again, she saw her daughter actually holding onto her son-in-law’s waist.

She never expected this scene to appear on Fang Yuan.

She did not even dare call out. She just watched as the young couple sped away like the wind.

Wang Cuixiang: “My daughter… she can understand this?”

She still found it hard to believe. Then she felt admiration for the son-in-law. Truly a man who studied in school, he really had skills.

Over on Lu Chuan’s side, he was also a little worked up. It would have been better if the road were longer.

Fang Yuan noticed that Lu Chuan was riding steadily without shaking and at a decent speed, so she let go of her hands.

Lu Chuan felt a faint sense of regret and tried to argue for himself. “Aren’t you afraid I am still drunk?”

Fang Yuan: “Isn’t it fine? It’s quite hot. I am afraid you will get heat rash on your waist.”

Lu Chuan took a sharp breath and said nothing more. The goodness of this wife really needed careful appreciation.

If he told her he was not afraid of heat rash, he had no idea whether she would pick up a jar of pickles and smash him with it.

Lu Chuan felt quite satisfied. Any progress was good progress. At least this counted as progress in holding each other’s waists.

By the time they arrived at the county town, it was just in time for dinner.

They saw that Father Lu’s meal was brought over by the Fifth Brother, and Father Lu was busily circling around the mixer, not taking his eyes off it for a moment. Father Lu Fifth Brother mixer

Wuhu let out a sigh of relief when he saw Fang Yuan and Lu Chuan. “You finally came. Really, there is no need to keep watching like this.” Wuhu

Ever since coming to the construction site, Father Lu had become even more stubborn than Fang Yuan, and even more focused on the mixer than she was.

Fang Yuan was truly capable, having found such a person to watch the mixer for them. Wuhu was full of admiration.

Fang Yuan: “Dad, nothing will happen at this construction site. Don’t be so nervous.”

Father Lu did not say anything in front of Wuhu. After eating, when there were no outsiders, he said, “If I don’t watch this thing, I can’t sleep. It is all money. Just leaving it there makes me so uneasy. Honestly, even watching it makes me unable to sleep.”

Fang Yuan almost nodded. She actually felt uneasy too.

Only Lu Chuan, seeing the two of them reacting the same way, comforted them. “This thing is used to make money for us, not to trouble us. Fifth Brother already taught you how to use it. Just keep an eye on it and make sure it is not used incorrectly.”

Father Lu discussed it with his son-in-law. “That won’t do. If I watch what they are doing, I can do it too. How about you leave one less worker here and I do it. Is that okay?”

Fang Yuan: “That won’t do. What if you get tired?”

Father Lu answered even more honestly. “I won’t get tired. If I don’t do any work, I feel uncomfortable.”

He said it very firmly.

Lu Chuan thought to himself that his family really was hardworking. They felt uncomfortable if they were not working.

Before he could speak, Fang Yuan already said, “Alright, I will listen to you. Anyway, when this thing is rented out in the future, I won’t be going along. If you help with the work, we can give you an extra share of wages when we rent out the mixer.”
