From Cannon Fodder to '80s Tycoon with My Space Supermarket Chapter 196 - 158: Reconciliation

"But I haven’t beco that foolish yet. One mistake is enough, but making blunders repeatedly will make people look down on you."

"Aren’t you all treating like a fool these days?"

"I’ve helped your family quite a lot already, and now my husband and I are reaching the age where we’re not as mobile. It’s ti to enjoy so comfort and chew on ribs while we still have good teeth."

"All these years, I’ve focused on letting your family eat at and neglected our own als. I’m tired of those potatoes; the next ti I go ho, I’ll buy a couple of pounds of ribs and have a good al!"

Mrs. Fu’s words were heavily loaded with implications.

She wasn’t just talking about ribs; there were other matters involved too.

After all these years, even though she had supported her family nurous tis and spent a considerable amount of money on them,

how did they treat her each ti she visited?

In the end, it was all about those potatoes, rotten cabbage, wasn’t it?

For so many years, she hadn’t even had a al of at at her family’s ho.

Just as she entered the house earlier, she already slled the fragrance of at wafting through the place. Adding to that, just before they stepped in, her sister-in-law asked her eldest daughter to go inside, clearly to hide the at.

They were afraid that they might eat the freshly cooked ribs.

That’s why they were so guarded.

This is the exact alti.

Perhaps her family just cooked ribs and, fearing that they would eat them, decided to hide the at quickly.

Think about it, she hasn’t been stingy towards her family all these years, yet they treat her like this?

This morning, while delivering a dress, she clearly saw her brother returning from the market with at.

And not just any at, but the finest ribs, not a shred of lesser quality at. How extravagant is that? Bear in mind that pri ribs cost more than regular ones.

This family spends money so lavishly, yet they have no earning ability. In the end, they’re spending her money, aren’t they?

Mrs. Fu was so angry that her teeth ached. She didn’t want to ntion this in the first place, but now she’s been pushed to the edge, so she’s capable of anything.

She outrightly spoke words that left her family with no dignity whatsoever.

Her brother, at that mont, didn’t even know where he was, and he hasn’t been ho for so long. Guessing he’s wasting away sowhere in a corner.

After all, he spends his days just playing mahjong, without doing anything good.

Whenever he lost at gambling, Mrs. Fu was the one who paid his debts.

Mrs. Fu simply cannot recall without feeling like the ultimate sucker.

All these years, the more aggrieved she felt, the more aggrieved she lived.

Now that she’s figured it out, she’s determined to vent her anger fiercely, which is why she didn’t bother to leave her family any courtesy when speaking.

Her sister-in-law lowered her head instantly upon hearing Mrs. Fu’s words.

Especially when she heard the word "ribs."

Words cannot express how awkward it was.

After all, just this morning, when Mrs. Fu ca over to deliver a dress, her sister-in-law even invited her to co over in the evening for ribs.

But when Mrs. Fu truly arrived, she instructed her eldest daughter to hide the ribs.

She thought Mrs. Fu hadn’t seen the ribs and wouldn’t say anything, but in the end, she straightforwardly pointed it out, making them appear stingy and petty.

Their behavior was indeed wrong.

However, pri ribs are three yuan per pound, and on regular days, the family is too frugal to eat them. It’s only because her eldest son is getting married, celebrating a happy occasion, that she decided to buy so ribs for a proper celebration and a nice al.

Originally, they had a large family, and everyone gathered together could only get one or two ribs each.

So if more mouths were added, wouldn’t it cost several more pounds?
