His mother insisted that the two of them move out, saying that it was good for the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Actually, his mother's decision was in line with his intentions. He was a very strong person, and Qiu Huimin looked gentle on the surface, but she was actually a stubborn donkey in her bones.
He was really afraid that he would be caught in the middle in the future.
Therefore, it was a good thing to live separately.
Qiu Huimin smiled. "Isn't it more convenient to live together? Also, Auntie is getting on in years and has headaches and fevers. It'll be better if we're around."
"There are servants at home. You don't have to worry about it. We'll live our own lives." Fu Yao thought for a moment. "Most importantly, we youngsters have different habits and ways of thinking than her."
"For example?" she asked with interest.
"For example, if you finally sleep in, she won't be able to stand it. She might even think that you're lazy." Fu Yao smiled. "If you want to have a good sleep quality, it's better to stay away from her."
Qiu Huimin said, "I've always had a regular schedule. No matter how late I sleep, I'll wake up at six. If I don't have enough energy, I'll make up for it in the afternoon."
Fu Yao said, "You like sweets, but we don't have sweets at home. Even when we entertain guests, it's at most fruits."
Qiu Huimin smiled. "That's not a big problem. You guys eat yours, and I'll eat mine. We can eat whatever we like. I don't think Auntie is so petty that she won't let us eat, right?"
Fu Yao said, "Not really. It's not that convenient. Also, you know the situation at home. My mother often brings work home, and there are many people coming and going. It can be very noisy sometimes."
"I'm the same as my father. We have a lot of guests, and we often host banquets. I'm used to it."
She was secretly happy that Fu Yao was considerate of her.
Fu Yao shook his head. "Listen to me. Let's go look at the houses now. There's plenty of time anyway. We'll look at them one by one until we're satisfied."
Qiu Huimin said, "You're going to China to develop your career in the future. Besides, you're going to serve in the military soon, so you won't have a chance to live here. How about this, listen to me. You serve in peace, and I'll stay at home with Auntie. Then, when you're done, I'll go to China with you."
"Wouldn't that be too unfair to you?" Fu Yao felt that what she said made sense.
"How could that be? You're thinking too much. How about this, since we're not busy at this stage, how about we go on a vacation? Let's go to Malaysia, "she suggested.
"Vacation? Sure, Labuan Island. There's a house there too. I used to go there with my mother often. We can stay there as long as we want. "Fu Yao finally agreed.
The two of them immediately packed their things and went on vacation that very day.
The wedding date was set on May 1st. Fu Xia had specially hired someone to arrange the date.
Fu Xia's parents and younger brother, Fu Bing, arrived in Singapore ahead of time. After lunch at the Qiu Residence, Fu Yao went to pick them up. Qiu Lihai said to his daughter, "You go with them. They will be your grandparents in the future."
Fu Yao didn't wait for Qiu Huimin to get up and stopped her. "No need, I can go alone."
His grandmother and uncle were not stingy people, and they were afraid that their daughter-in-law would feel aggrieved if she went there.
Qiu Huimin did not allow him to say more and pulled him away.
The two of them waited at the airport for a while. He was leaning on the railing at the exit, and just when he was muttering about when someone patted him on his shoulder, he got a shock.
"Hey, what are you doing!" Fu Bing took off his sunglasses and asked.
"Uncle, Grandma, Grandpa." Fu Yao rushed in to help carry the luggage. After a few steps, he realized that no one was following them. He turned around and realized that Qiu Huimin was already chatting with his grandmother.
Fu Bing said angrily, "Why are you panicking? What are you doing?"
"Sorry, I forgot to introduce them." Fu Yao scratched his head awkwardly.
Old Madam Fu said, "If we wait for you to introduce them, our granddaughter will feel wronged."
Qiu Huimin said, "It's fine. He's just like that. Grandma, the car is outside. Let's go. You must be tired. Go back and rest."
Her Mandarin was not good, and she had a thick accent. Old Madam Fu had to guess what she meant. She smiled and said, "It's fine. I'm not tired."
Fu Bing was sitting in the front passenger seat. He leaned his head against the car window and looked out. "Open the window. Let me have a good look outside."
This was his first time going overseas, but he did not feel anything new. The people on the streets looked the same as in China. Even the buildings were the same.
Fu Yao reminded him. "Let me make this clear first. Don't stretch your head out, and don't put your hands outside. Singapore's traffic laws are the strictest in the world."
"Is it that serious?" Fu Bing said happily.
Fu Yao saw that Fu Bing was about to light a cigarette, and he quickly used one hand to stop his lighter. "Uncle, I beg you. Don't smoke. Let's smoke at home. Don't smoke outside."
"Hey, you rascal. We haven't seen each other for a while, and you're already complaining about me?" Fu Bing was unhappy.
"Uncle." Qiu Huimin, who was sitting in the back, explained patiently. "The fine is a small matter. If you behave improperly, you might have to go to jail."
"Jail?" Old Madam Fu immediately understood what he meant. She quickly reprimanded her son. "Don't look for trouble. This isn't home. You can do whatever you want. This is a capitalist society. If they really arrest you, they won't treat you like a human."
Old Man Fu added, "Your nephew won't hurt you. Just do what he says. Don't be so sloppy."
"Alright, I understand. Don't say anymore." Fu Bing was embarrassed when he met his niece for the first time and lost face.
Fu Xia was already at the door. When she saw the car, she opened the door and helped her out. She smiled and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Old Madam Fu said, "I'm not hungry. I just feel a little dizzy from the flight."
Supported by his daughter, he was not in a hurry to enter the house. Instead, he looked at the gothic five-story villa.
Fu Bing entered the house and took off his slippers. He took the teacup from the helper. He did not understand what she was saying, so he did not even bother to thank her.
He just kept praising, "Not bad, not bad."
In his opinion, his sister and nephew were living like immortals.
Qiu Huimin said politely, "Uncle, have some fruit."
Fu Bing held up a bright red fruit with whiskers and asked, "What fruit is this? I've never even seen it before, let alone eaten it."
Fu Yao said, "Rambutan. It's actually a type of lychee. Because it's not easy to preserve, it's rarely seen outside of Southeast Asia."
Old Madam Fu took a peeled one from her daughter and tasted it. Then, she smiled and said, "It tastes like lychee. It's quite sweet."
Fu Xia said, "Dad, Mom, take a seat. Dinner will be ready soon."
