CHAPTER 142: CHAPTER 140: SPEAKING UP FOR MRS. FU

She said such things to her mother-in-law, clearly indicating she didn’t want to live like this anymore.

Thinking like this, they were somewhat confused again.

If Jiang Xin had such a big issue with Fu Yu, why had she forced herself into her cousin’s marriage in the first place? Could it be that after marrying, due to Fu Yu’s long absence from home, she regretted it?

After all, from the first day of their marriage, Fu Yu left home directly, obviously dissatisfied with her as a wife.

Under such circumstances, it’s normal for Jiang Xin to develop some resentment in her heart.

Mrs. Fu was completely baffled by the words Jiang Xin had just said.

She hadn’t grasped that Jiang Xin dared to criticize her so openly in front of others.

Moreover, Mrs. Fu was a person who was vain and cared about her image.

Being criticized like this in front of so many people by her supposed daughter-in-law, of course, she couldn’t stand the embarrassment; how could she endure it?

Mrs. Fu immediately turned red, feeling she had lost face immensely.

Having lived in this village for so many years, Mrs. Fu was no pushover.

Her fiery reputation in the village was well-known, and now she wouldn’t allow her pride to be crushed by her daughter-in-law.

Hence, Mrs. Fu directly rolled up her sleeves, ready to confront Jiang Xin:

"Bah, you little bitch, I show you some respect, and you dare to speak to me with such a tone?"

"Wasn’t it you who deliberately tried every way to marry my son, forcing our family to have no choice but to marry you?"

"And now you’re feeling aggrieved? You’re getting what you deserve!"

"What’s wrong with my son not coming home? It’s because of you that the house is in such disarray; if it were me, I wouldn’t want to come home either!"

"Who are you to belittle my son? My son is so outstanding, tall, and handsome, and can earn money at sea. Every girl in this village is hoping you and my son divorce quickly so they can marry him!"

"It’s just you, hogging the place without doing anything. When my son comes back, I’ll make him divorce you immediately!"

Mrs. Fu now placed her hopes for the rest of her life directly on Fu Yu.

After all, her elder son was unreliable, and her younger son was still young this year.

So, Fu Yu was her lifeline.

Jiang Xin’s words naturally looked down on and fiercely criticized her son, which she couldn’t tolerate.

Of course, she couldn’t tolerate it!

He was her precious treasure.

Moreover, Mrs. Fu had always been proud of her son.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t constantly brag in the village about how amazing her son was.

Her son goes to sea once and earns a hundred or two, which is half a year’s income for an ordinary family; he earns that in just half a month.

Many people are envious!

"If you want a divorce, hurry up and get it!"

"Don’t hesitate when my son comes back!"

"Once you two get the divorce certificate, I’ll immediately arrange for my son to marry a new wife in the village, definitely better than you!"

"My son earns so much money going to sea once, what kind of wife can’t he marry?"

"Unlike you, a spendthrift, never caring about earning money, only spending it, in a few days all the money at home might be gone!"

"At home, you don’t do any chores, just go shopping in town to buy clothes."

"In my opinion, it’s you who attracted the thieves; since you got married, you’ve been too showy, making us victims of their attention."

"Maybe your flashy clothes in town caught the thieves’ eye."

"Otherwise, how could our home suffer such undeserved misfortune?"

Mrs. Fu spoke with wildly exaggerated expressions.

Halfway through, as if recalling something, she pointed at Jiang Xin again, expressing her inner speculation, anyhow, opening her mouth to make up lies:
