Chapter 154: I won't interfere
But Nian Di looked around with such caution.
After Jiang Xin said this, the expressions of Fu's mother and father immediately became very ugly.
Mr. Fu disagreed because he felt that Mrs. Fu was exaggerating. That hundred yuan was not a small amount of money for their family.
One hundred yuan is enough for their family's food expenses for half a year. Asking them to take out one hundred yuan to buy a skirt for this little girl is simply too stupid.
Besides, this little girl has a father and a mother, so why does she need them to pay for her skirt?
And when it comes to buying clothes, although these skirts are all very beautiful, one also has to consider the financial conditions of one's family.
Their family simply couldn't afford the cost of this dress.
Moreover, Mr. and Mrs. Fu, as the child's aunt and uncle, have no obligation to buy clothes for her.
Besides, it’s still so expensive.
They also have a daughter in their family. Just think about what kind of clothes their daughter wears. They are tattered clothes worth a dozen yuan. The styles are all very old and rustic.
How could they possibly spend so much time and energy on a niece?
Father Fu was firmly against it anyway. After hearing what Jiang Xin said, he no longer cared about his face. After all, in his heart, money was the most important thing at this moment.
After all, their second son worked so hard to make money outside, and he couldn't use his son's hard-earned money to squander it like that outside.
Moreover, it was a skirt like this one, worth a hundred dollars.
Absolutely, there is no need for this.
If this little girl really wants to get married in the future, they, as her aunt and uncle, can just pick a gift for her, which can be regarded as showing their love.
At this time, spending such a large amount of money to buy her a dress is not a big mistake for them.
Father Fu raised his eyes and rolled his eyes at Jiang Xin, knowing that Jiang Xin was setting a trap for them to fall into.
But at this moment, Father Fu also thought in his heart that this matter could not be blamed on Jiang Xin at all.
After all, the reason Jiang Xin came to Fu's mother's house in the first place was to retrieve her priceless skirts.
Among these five skirts, one was left for Nian Di to wear for his blind date tomorrow. It was this old woman in his family who was so ignorant of the world who suggested it.
At this moment, of course people have to climb up the pole.
Especially the greedy look on her family's part.
Mr. Fu was simply unable to bear it any longer. He was afraid that if he spoke a little later, the other party would have immediately ordered the dress.
As for Fu's mother, she looked completely dazed. If you didn't know her, you would think she was daydreaming.
I really don’t know what you are thinking about every day.
If we wait for Fu's mother to speak up, it would be too late by then.
Therefore, Father Fu was afraid that if he had one more second at night, Nian Di would have really picked out the skirt.
Father Fu quickly spoke up to stop him:
"No, no, no."
"That skirt is so expensive, more than a hundred yuan, do you really think we are the wronged?"
"This old lady in my family is a person who can't make sense of things, but today, I am here, so this matter won't be accomplished."
"If your daughter needs new clothes for a blind date, you can take her to the department store to buy them."
"Don't take us for granted. Everyone knows that the department store opens very early. Basically, it opens at eight o'clock every morning."
"If, if you need clothes, you can wait until tomorrow when the department store opens and buy them."
"Anyway, nowadays, blind dates are usually scheduled during lunch time, so there's still time for everything."
"Why did you have to rip us off for over a hundred bucks to buy you a new dress? We're not stupid."
"My son is capable of making money. He earns a lot of money every month, but we can't spend it like that. At least, we have to spend money wisely. It's not worth spending more than 100 yuan on a torn skirt."
"If you like that skirt, you might as well buy it yourself. We won't pay for it anyway."
"Don't glare at me. I have the final say on this matter. Even though this old woman is the head of our family, she can't beat me on this matter."
After Mr. Fu finished speaking, the room fell into silence for a long time.
Fu's mother and sister-in-law had never expected that Fu's father, who had never cared about family affairs and was completely hands-off about household matters, would actually speak out to object after hearing that they were going to spend a hundred yuan to buy Jiang Xin's dress.
Fu's mother's sister-in-law and her mother became anxious and turned their eyes to Fu's mother, wanting her to speak and say something.
After all, it was Fu's mother who said just now that she wanted to leave a new skirt for their little brother Nian.
Now that they have already spoken, how can they easily go back on their word? They don't want to miss this opportunity, after all, the price of the dress is so high.
If they could keep one, then tomorrow, when their little brother Nian has finished wearing it, they could send it to the second-hand market and resell it. A skirt worth 100 yuan, if sold at a discount, they could at least make 60 or 70 yuan.
So they still want to fight for it. After all, in their family, Father Fu is not the only one who has the final say.
Mother Fu naturally felt the burning gazes above her head.
But at this moment, she really didn't want to talk.
What she experienced today was really too much, and what her family said was really too heartless. They even wanted to sever the mother-daughter relationship with her, which really broke her heart.
Even Fu's mother had begun to doubt whether her family had treated her as a family over the years.
If, if I had been in that position, I wouldn't have said such cruel words.
So, at this moment, after noticing everyone's gazes, she simply chose to shut up.
If it were in the past, since she had already asked, if she really needed this skirt for her niece's blind date, even if she had to eat coarse food at home, she would have to spend more than a hundred yuan to buy a skirt for her niece.
However, at this moment, she really had no money in her pocket. In recent months, Mother Fu had really spent a lot of money on the wedding of her nephew from her mother's side.
Even her savings had been emptied out.
Little did she know what kind of life she and her old man had been leading at home these days.
All of a sudden, I was back to the old days, when I couldn't eat well, couldn't wear warm clothes, and couldn't even light a kerosene lamp.
Life was very tight and the rice at home was almost gone. If Fu Yu went out to sea and didn't come back for a long time, they would really have no rice to cook.
So, nowadays, how could she easily take out a hundred dollars to buy a skirt for her niece from her mother's side?
However, a person with a strong sense of vanity like Fu's mother naturally could not admit that she had no money.
In fact, if she didn't help her nephew from her mother's side get married, based on the household expenses Fu Yu gave her every time he came back from his voyage, and her frugal personality, she would probably have a savings of four or five thousand yuan in her pocket now.
Therefore, now, Fu's mother is really regretting her decision, especially after hearing her mother's words that she wanted to sever the mother-daughter relationship with her. She wants to get back all the money that she had used to support their family.
She felt that all her sincerity over the years had been wasted.
Her family is a bunch of ungrateful people who can never be tamed.
Therefore, she really needs to open her eyes from now on. Living a good life at home is more important than anything else.
As for her mother's family affairs, Mother Fu doesn't want to interfere in them anymore.
After all, if Fu Yu goes out to sea and comes home in the future, and really divorces Jiang Xin, she will have to find a new wife for her beloved second son.
By then, there will be more places to spend money.
Instead of focusing on your mother's family, it is better to focus on your own home to avoid making life at home a mess.
But all this has to start over again.
Mother Fu sighed in her heart, so when faced with the questioning looks from her family members, she simply chose to ignore them.
Neither answer nor refuse.
Let them think whatever they want.
Anyway, she didn't want to pay a penny anymore.
All the efforts she made in the past should be regarded as her own stupidity.
As soon as Mr. Fu's words came out, Nian Di's eyes, which were originally carefully looking at those skirts, suddenly became full of fear.
She immediately withdrew her gaze from those skirts. Even if she liked them, she would not even look at them again.
After all, she also heard the price of the skirt from the adults' conversation. It was a full hundred yuan, enough to buy a lot of things.
Fu's mother's sister-in-law and her mother saw that Fu's mother didn't say anything after seeing their eyes.
In an instant, they became a little annoyed. After all, they had been used to being pampered by Fu's mother for so many years. How could they tolerate such anger?
So, after seeing that Mother Fu didn't say anything, they spoke directly and expressed their dissatisfaction:
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Haven't you always been the one who has the final say in your family? Why is it that it is now my brother-in-law's turn to be the manager of the household?"
"And this skirt is clearly the one you promised us just now. You would leave one for Nian Di so that she can wear it on her blind date tomorrow."
"You have already agreed to our plan, but your brother-in-law and others are now objecting. What's going on?"
The words of Fu's mother and her sister-in-law were somewhat provocative. After all, how could such a strong person like Fu's mother allow her master to ride on her head?
Fu's mother's mother originally wanted to speak up and scold Fu's mother, but her daughter-in-law had already said everything she wanted to say, so she simply shut up.
Stand aside and watch the fun.
Anyway, based on her understanding of her daughter, Mrs. Fu will definitely compromise in the end.
Therefore, at this moment, she might as well just shut up and see what the situation is. If her daughter-in-law cannot solve the problem alone, it will still be time for her to speak up then.
No matter what, she is the elder of Mr. and Mrs. Fu. If she speaks up, it will at least have some effect.
No matter what, these two people have to give me some face.
After Fu's mother's sister-in-law's words came out, Fu's mother finally raised her head and looked at her sister-in-law whom she originally regarded as a relative. Her face was full of sarcasm and she said:
"Sister-in-law, I just suddenly realized that although my son has made a lot of money over the years, it has not been easy."
"My old man is right. There is nothing wrong with what he said. We can't just care about other people's children and ignore our own."
"Over the years, I have asked myself, I have helped your family more than enough. I even neglected my own children because of helping you."
"Even now, your family is living a more comfortable life than ours. I'm not saying anything harsh. Over the years, you should know exactly where your family's financial resources have come from."
"But, what you said just now was really too hurtful. It made me feel like all my kindness over the years has been taken for granted."
"Didn't my mother say that she wanted to sever the mother-daughter relationship with me? Why not just do it? I don't think you guys care anyway."
"Over the years, I have done my best. My husband is right. This money should be spent wisely. A dress that costs more than 100 yuan is totally not worth it."
"Besides, I didn't get this skirt in a fair and honest way. I stole it, so it should be returned to its original owner. How can I just keep one and leave it alone?"
"Besides, I don't have any money in my pocket right now. If you were to keep this dress, I wouldn't be able to pay for it."
"Of course, if you have the money and are willing to spend the hundred dollars, you can just keep the skirt. I won't interfere with your transaction."
