From Cannon Fodder to '80s Tycoon with My Space Supermarket Chapter 68: Spendthrift Woman

The eyes of Mrs. Fu, still seeking rescue, were directed towards Mr. Fu.

So she didn’t notice that the villagers in the courtyard had already seen through her little sches.

Unfortunately, Mrs. Fu’s expectations were about to be dashed.

Mr. Fu, an honest and taciturn man, didn’t know how to lie or make up stories.

When he noticed his wife’s eyes looking his way, Mr. Fu frowned imdiately.

Seeing Mr. Fu catch her gaze, Mrs. Fu was filled with hope, believing that no matter how dull he was, they were still husband and wife for many years, and surely Mr. Fu would unconditionally side with her.

But just as Mrs. Fu looked on expectantly, Mr. Fu slowly opened his mouth and said sothing that left everyone astonished.

Upon hearing it, Mrs. Fu was about to fall apart, not expecting Mr. Fu to say such things.

Mr. Fu, looking rather hesitant under everyone’s gaze, finally spoke, but his words were not in support of Mrs. Fu. Instead, he joined the villagers in condemning her:

"You troubleso old lady, I advised you just now, but you wouldn’t listen."

"I called out to you so many tis to cry more quietly, not to let the villagers hear and co to laugh at us."

"But you wouldn’t listen to , and now you’ve cried so loudly and brought all the neighbors, just to make a fool of yourself, right?"

"Besides, even if you dislike Jiang Xin, you shouldn’t go around accusing a young girl of adultery. What kind of reputation-damaging nonsense are you spreading?"

"Jiang Xin is still Fu Yu’s wife. Saying what you did just now is like putting a green hat on your own son for no reason. What kind of mother are you?"

"And I don’t agree with you wanting to kick Jiang Xin out of the house. The son isn’t ho, and you just bully the daughter-in-law?"

"You always think our son dislikes Jiang Xin, but can’t you use your brain and think carefully? Given Fu Yu’s personality and temper, how can you as a mother not understand your own son?"

"If Fu Yu really disliked Jiang Xin, he wouldn’t have married her in the first place. No one can force Fu Yu to do sothing he doesn’t want to."

"You, you... I think you’re really getting senile. It’s better to clear your head before you get so muddled you can’t distinguish people or things years from now."

"If you really drive Jiang Xin out today, what will you say to your son when he cos back?"

Mr. Fu sighed helplessly while advising Mrs. Fu not to act impulsively and make decisions she would regret later.

Mrs. Fu was initially thinking that since the villagers didn’t know the truth, she could just deny everything. Even if they found Jiang Xin’s words sowhat credible, as long as she denied it, they wouldn’t be able to do anything.

After all, it’s hard to dig deeper and pinpoint who is right or wrong in such matters, yet now Mr. Fu exposed all her secrets straight away.

Mrs. Fu had harbored so hope that even if she said Jiang Xin was in the right, Jiang Xin couldn’t find evidence and would have to endure it stoically.

But Mr. Fu’s words placed her in a very awkward position.

Now, Mrs. Fu truly had no words to defend herself and had no choice but to accept her fate.

Initially, the villagers, after hearing what Jiang Xin said, had so doubts about her words being false.

But just now, with Mr. Fu’s words, they directly believed that Mrs. Fu indeed said the words accusing Jiang Xin of adultery.

The way people looked at Mrs. Fu changed in an instant.

Though they mostly ca out of curiosity, on such a hot day, they rushed to the Fu house out of so concern for the Fu Family’s situation.

But Mrs. Fu deliberately brought them over here, wasn’t she just playing them for fools?

So, none of the villagers were happy, and naturally, they wouldn’t show Mrs. Fu any kindness.

Then, one by one, they began to speak, and their words were anything but pleasant:

"Fu Yu’s mom, we consider you one of our own. That’s why we rushed over when we heard a commotion in your yard, fearing you two old folks might be bullied."

"But the result? Is this how you treat us, playing us for fools? Do you find it entertaining?"

"We all know you’re not satisfied with Jiang Xin as your daughter-in-law, but no matter what, the deed is done. Fu Yu married Jiang Xin, making them a family. All past grievances should be set aside to live a peaceful life."

"If you, like this, keep holding grudges over past events, how painful must it be to live this life?"

"Yeah, Aunt Zhao isn’t wrong. We ca rushing over because we were concerned about you. Do you think these old bones of mine are up for such trips?"

"Rushing over here from so far, just to hear you spin tales?"

The villagers, one after another, began to speak up, and it was clear the scene was about to get out of control.

Mrs. Fu originally picked on Jiang Xin because she didn’t like her.

Now, seeing the villagers all pointing out her faults, Mrs. Fu instinctively turned to see Jiang Xin’s reaction.

This ti, Jiang Xin didn’t ignore her like she used to; instead, she gave her a mocking smile when she turned her head.

Mrs. Fu was triggered, especially with all the villagers in the courtyard still condemning her.

Her mind went blank, unwilling to just lose like this.

She was thinking about how to turn the tables, so Mrs. Fu looked at Jiang Xin, hoping to find so fault with her again.

And then, she saw the shopping bag Jiang Xin was holding.

Mrs. Fu suddenly had a bright idea, a plan instantly ford in her mind.

She pointed to the shopping bag Jiang Xin was holding and said loudly.

I have my reasons for targeting her.

Isn’t it because she’s just too wasteful!
