Chapter 141: Confidence
Right now, she doesn't need anything else but someone to help her fight against Jiang Xin.
It doesn't matter whether you quarrel with the villagers or not. After all, you have been neighbors for decades and you are very familiar with every household. If the quarrel becomes too ugly, it will be difficult to get along with each other when you meet again in the future.
Therefore, it is better to have less things to do than more.
However, if someone comes out and helps her say that Jiang Xin is not even that, then for her, that person is her partner.
It's the kind that doesn't fit your mind at all!
Moreover, especially after her old sister said that Jiang Xin didn't do housework all day and just went shopping and spent money, it was exactly what she wanted.
God knows how pissed she was off by this.
Originally, when Jiang Xin first got married, she thought that having one more person in the family would mean an extra labor force.
In this way, she could become an idle old lady who doesn't care about anything, like her neighbors, and just chat with people at the entrance of the village every day.
At that time, all the housework will be done by the daughter-in-law, such as washing clothes, cooking, feeding pigs and chickens. She will just take care of them all and won't have to worry about them anymore.
But who would have thought that Jiang Xin was like a young lady from the city. She did nothing every day and just slept in the house. No matter how badly she was scolded outside, she would not come out.
It was obvious that they all turned a deaf ear to her scolding. In Fu's mother's mind, wasn't this blatant neglect?
That's why she always felt very angry whenever she saw Jiang Xin.
So, these days, she automatically ignored Jiang Xin and treated her as air, even omitting Jiang Xin's share for the three meals a day at home.
The old man in her family was very dissatisfied with her actions and thought she was too harsh.
After all, they are a family now, no matter what, how can they not even bring other people's food?
The old man thought she was being too bullying.
However, even so, Fu Yu's father could not do anything about Fu's mother. After all, in this family, the one who really had the final say was Fu's mother.
Whenever Fu Yu's father mentioned this, Fu's mother would glare at him maliciously, and then he would be scared and shushed.
After a long time, he no longer cared about it.
After all, he is also a henpecked husband.
If you try to intervene in something that you have no control over, you will just be powerless.
Every day, Fu's mother ignored Jiang Xin's outings and often cursed Jiang Xin in her heart, wishing that Jiang Xin would encounter an accident when she went out.
In this case, if it is compensation, their family can still get a large sum of money, which can be regarded as the last contribution she, as a daughter-in-law, makes to their family.
After all, the money in Fu's mother's pocket had long been used by her to support her parents' family, and now their family could barely afford to buy rice.
Nowadays, the most lacking thing is money.
However, she couldn't tell Fu's father openly. After all, no matter how afraid this man was of his wife.
But if a man heard that his wife was secretly supporting her parents behind his back, I guess no man would be able to accept it.
Besides, Fu's mother is the kind who tries her best to support her family and doesn't even care about the life and death of her own family. If Fu's father knew about it, he would probably divorce her.
Therefore, Mother Fu dared not reveal even a single detail.
Moreover, because they have no money recently, the food at home is much worse.
Whenever Mr. Fu suggested that Mrs. Fu improve the family's food, Mrs. Fu felt so guilty.
Therefore, Fu's mother could only make excuses, saying that she wanted to build a big tiled house for her family and needed to save some money. After all, Fu Yu was the only one making money in their family now, and they had to learn to be considerate of their son.
Father Fu was also very proud of his son Fu Yu. When he thought about his son going out to sea and not being able to come home several times a month, he instantly felt distressed for his hard work, so he no longer mentioned the issue of food.
Father Fu felt that it was no big deal for the old couple to suffer a little at home. After all, they had experienced hard times before.
In contrast, Fu Yu is making money at the risk of his life. The old couple should be content with their current life and be considerate of their son who works hard to earn money.
Moreover, if a new house is built for the family, then the children will have rooms to live in when they come back.
In an instant, Father Fu felt that this day had hope and he gradually began to look forward to it.
Not only that, he also asked Fu's mother how much money the family had saved. If it was not enough, he would go out and do some odd jobs. Although he didn't earn much, it was still enough to cover the daily expenses of the two old people.
After all, although they are a bit old now, they are not so old that they cannot walk. There is nothing wrong with just treating it as exercise.
Fu's mother had just managed to fool around with the money issue, but she never expected that the question Fu's father asked the next second would be so difficult to answer.
After all, money is probably a sensitive topic no matter which family it is. What's more, Fu's mother didn't dare to tell the truth. Their son has earned a lot of money outside over the years. If she didn't support her parents' family, she could probably save up a few thousand yuan.
After all, the old couple are as frugal as ever.
Basically, we don’t spend much money on weekdays. During festivals, we can only eat pork and make dumplings.
and. The clothes I wear are new for three years, old for three years, and mended for another three years.
I only changed the clothes when they were no longer wearable, and then I gritted my teeth and spent money to buy new ones.
She is nothing like Jiang Xin. Not only is her closet full of new clothes, but some of them don't even have the tags removed. Even so, she is still not satisfied and runs to the department store in town to buy clothes, spending hundreds of dollars at a time. She feels so heartbroken.
Therefore, Fu's mother often took the opportunity to find fault with Jiang Xin.
Although, every time she found fault, it was very far-fetched.
But, she just wanted to vent her anger, but that's how it was. Every time she was at the mercy of Jiang Xin, she ended up in a bad situation. Every time, Jiang Xin had to suppress her.
When it comes to verbal battles, Fu's mother can never beat Jiang Xin. After all this time, how could Fu's mother not feel aggrieved?
Moreover, recently she was indeed very dissatisfied with Jiang Xin.
It was because she didn't do housework every day and just went to the department store in the town to shop for new clothes. Whenever she saw Jiang Xin coming back with the shopping bags, Fu's mother was so angry. She thought it was so unlucky that she could marry such a spendthrift daughter-in-law. It was such a misfortune for the family.
Although from beginning to end, Jiang Xin never spent a penny of their family's money.
However, Fu's mother had an outrageous way of thinking. She thought that since they were married. Even if Jiang Xin's family sent her money, it now belongs to the Fu family.
It would have been fine if Jiang Xin didn't hand it over voluntarily, but she actually dared to spend it privately.
In the past, when the eldest daughter-in-law was at home, I had to get her consent before spending every penny.
Jiang Xin is just like a wild horse that has broken free from its reins and cannot be disciplined by anyone.
How could Mrs. Fu bear this?
If, according to her idea, she wanted Jiang Xin to hand over all the money in her pocket. If so, she wouldn't mind bringing out Jiang Xin's share when cooking.
The job of managing money should be handled by the person who is in charge of the family. In their family, she is the head of the family, so naturally, all the money should be handed over to her.
Mother Fu originally thought to herself that Jiang Xin must have a lot of money in her pocket, otherwise, Jiang Xin would not dare to spend it so willfully.
I thought of the rumors in the village, which said that Jiang Xin's parents were working as nannies and drivers in the provincial capital.
If, according to her way of spending money, it would be obvious that this is not the case.
Whose child of a nanny or driver dares to spend money so lavishly? Do they really think that her parents make money easily?
There are some, like those who are doing business outside the province, and what Jiang Xin just said can still be attached to them.
It didn't seem like a lie. If her parents were doing business in the provincial capital, they would definitely send a lot of money to Jiang Xin every month.
Didn’t you see that Jiang Wan’s family’s life has become much better since Jiang Xin’s arrival? I guess Jiang Xin’s parents have something to do with it.
However, they really couldn't understand why the parents couldn't take their daughter with them when they went out of the province for business. It would be so meaningless if the family was separated. A family should be reunited and stay together.
There is no reason to separate. Maybe there are some other reasons in the family.
Anyway, this is what Mrs. Fu thought.
So, she had this evil idea and wanted Jiang Xin to hand over all the money to her.
At that time, if Jiang Xin has no money in her pocket, then she will be at her mercy. Then, every penny she spends will depend on her mood.
It’s a pity that Jiang Xin is not someone who is easy to bully.
Every time she fought with Jiang Xin, Fu's mother never got any advantage, so naturally, Fu's mother didn't dare to open her mouth and bring up this topic, otherwise, wouldn't Jiang Xin have to fight with her?
Especially today, the reason why Fu's mother chose to steal Jiang Xin's new skirt and give it to her niece at that time was because she wanted to vent her anger for some reason.
After all, he didn't dare to really conflict with Jiang Xin on the surface.
Therefore, it would be better to do some small moves secretly behind the scenes. She dared to do that because she was relying on Jiang Xin, who was very likely not to be discovered.
After all, Fu's mother felt that there were so many new clothes in Jiang Xin's closet that she couldn't wear them all, so it was just a small matter for her to secretly take a few pieces.
But who would have thought that Jiang Xin not only found out, but also ran to the town, called the police, and led the police over.
Moreover, when Fu's mother heard the prices of those clothes, she was dumbfounded. Who could have thought that those clothes could be so expensive? She just thought that the material and style were good, but they turned out to be so valuable.
You know, the total cost of all the clothes she wore in her life never exceeded this price. It is simply unimaginable.
Mother Fu cursed Jiang Xin in her heart, calling her a prodigal. If the money was given to her, she would use it to support her family, and it would be enough for her nephews to marry several wives.
You have to know that there are more than one brother and sister in her mother's family, and each of them is at the age to get married and have children, but it has been delayed for so long because of the family's poverty.
If this money was given to her, her family would be living a much better life now.
At this time, Fu's mother felt a little regretful.
If she wore such nice clothes, wouldn't it be a waste? If she had known that these clothes were so valuable, she would have taken them to the town and found a place to pawn them for money.
In that case, the money earned would be quite a lot. Why should she and Mr. Fu live on coarse food at home? Their life is so difficult.
Fu Yu still doesn’t know when he will be able to come back, and the money in her pocket really won’t last long.
If she goes back to her parents' home to borrow money, this idea is not realistic. Fu's mother will probably scold her to death.
Mother Fu knew very well what kind of people the family she supported were.
However, this kind of thinking that has been instilled in us since childhood is deeply ingrained in our minds and cannot be changed at all.
Only if her parents' life is good, her life in her husband's family will become better.
But if you think about it carefully, you will know how ridiculous this idea is.
After all, how her mother and sister-in-law treated her before has cast a deep shadow in Fu's mother's heart.
Mother Fu lowered her head in thought. For a moment, she really didn't know how she should react.
Anyway, her mind was in a mess and she was very scared. She was afraid that the police would find the thief and take her away.
She is already old. It would be so embarrassing if she was taken to the police station. Everyone in the village would laugh at her.
Mother Fu's face fell all of a sudden.
I was shaking with panic, afraid that others would notice what was going on.
Jiang Xin laughed out loud when she heard the man who had just spoken for Fu's mother say that she had spent Fu Yu's money to buy clothes.
