Chapter 1056 Don't expect us to be your suckers
Seeing her expression, Fu Yanwei asked, "You didn't actually go through Lao Si's room, did you?"

Hao Yanhong's originally pale face instantly turned red: "I didn't mean to search their room. I just touched their thick mattress. Then I wanted to check the clothes in my sister-in-law's closet. I accidentally looked at them all."

Not to mention others were dumbfounded, even Fu Yanwei was so angry at her words that he laughed: "Your reason is really novel, I have to admire it."

Chu Xue said coldly, "I'm sure my second sister-in-law knows where that piece of cloth in my closet is, right?"

Hao Yanhong coughed lightly: "Fourth sister-in-law, it's like this, a friend of mine has a sister who is getting married next month and wants to find a bright and shiny piece of fabric to make a dress. I was thinking that since you're getting married and have so many new clothes, you probably won't be in a hurry to use this piece of fabric, so I thought I might as well lend it to my friend to tide her over."

"It was my sister-in-law's fault; she shouldn't have made the decision for you unilaterally when you weren't around."

Chu Xue burst out laughing: "Do you want to hear what you're saying?"

Fu Yanwei was also furious, his face turning red and his neck bulging. He roared, "Where's the cloth?"

Hao Yanhong shuddered: "Didn't I just say that?"

Before she could finish speaking, Fu Yanwei interrupted her, saying, "Hao Yanhong, you'd better think it through before you answer."

Hao Yanhong didn't dare look at Fu Yanwei; she could sense that he was truly angry. "Um, Yanwei, I, um, I didn't mean to, um..."

Fu Yanwei had lost his patience and said irritably, "Don't try to get away with this. If you don't talk now, we'll wait until the police arrive."

Hao Yanhong stopped hiding it: "I sent the cloth back to my parents' home, but I wasn't lying. It really is my sister-in-law's younger sister who's getting married in a few days and wanted to make a bright outfit to make a good impression. My sister-in-law mentioned it to me last time I visited. I...I..."

After listening to the whole thing, Mr. Fu spoke up: "Chu Xue, besides the cloth and candy, is there anything else missing?"

Chu Xue spoke directly: "I mentioned the bankbook and money before just to scam you, but I didn't expect to actually get them. Besides the cloth and candy, I also lost a pair of pillowcases, which were part of my aunt's wedding gift that she specially asked someone to bring back from Shanghai for me." Hao Yan blushed and said: "Um, um, I just thought they were pretty and thought I'd take a look and send them back to you."

Fu Yanwei was genuinely surprised by her audacity: "Where are the things?"

Hao Yanhong pointed to their room: "Inside the room."

Fu Yanwei was almost driven mad by her: "Go and give it to your sister-in-law!"

Chu Xue, however, objected: "Second Brother, don't blame me for being petty, but I feel uncomfortable using things that have been stolen from me. Just give me cash instead."

Hao Yanhong heard this as soon as she came out: "I just took a look. Don't go too far. Besides, you're asking us to give you cash. Do you know the price of that thing? Don't think we'll be your suckers."

Chu Xue ignored her and walked straight towards the living room: "Dad, I need to use the phone."

Mother Fu immediately understood what she was going to do and quickly stepped forward: "Chu Xue, didn't you want to ask your aunt?"

Chu Xue didn't hide it: "Yes."

Mother Fu quickly intervened, saying, "Chu Xue, your second sister-in-law really went too far today. I have no objection to whatever you want them to compensate you for. You don't need to make the call. I know how much that pillowcase costs. Just give me some face and don't embarrass her in public."

Chuxue naturally had to give them that much face.
