CHAPTER 173: CHAPTER 150: THE INVOICE (PART 2)

Today, if you want to get all these skirts back, it might be a bit difficult.

Mr. Fu and Mrs. Fu felt a bit troubled after hearing her words.

Especially Mrs. Fu, she has always been biased towards her own family.

At this moment, upon hearing that this skirt might affect her niece’s blind date tomorrow, she instantly softened, forgetting about her own safety.

After all, it’s her niece whom she has adored since childhood, and her niece’s growing experience is remarkably similar to hers, so she couldn’t help but feel empathetic.

Mrs. Fu, after some hesitation, looked up at the police officer and Jiang Xin, and in a negotiating tone, humbly said:

"Or... how about letting them return four pieces?"

"As for the cost of the remaining one, once my son returns from the sea and we have money at home, I will pay you back."

"Do you think that will work?"

Mrs. Fu had an utterly humble demeanor, completely different from her earlier domineering self.

Jiang Xin didn’t know what to say, suddenly realizing that Mrs. Fu’s mind might be stupider than she imagined.

Anyway, she absolutely wouldn’t sympathize with someone like Mrs. Fu.

She is simply beyond sympathy.

Her own family just treated her that way.

Even to the point of severing mother-daughter ties.

And now, upon hearing a few pitiful words from her sister-in-law, she immediately changed her mind and wanted to bear the cost of the skirt herself.

It’s simply too foolish.

Jiang Xin couldn’t bear to watch any longer, so she spoke up:

"That skirt is my property. How could you decide not to return it without my consent?"

As soon as Jiang Xin spoke, the room instantly fell into a silence.

Mrs. Fu immediately shut her mouth, not wanting to say anything more.

Mrs. Fu’s sister-in-law and her mother, after hearing Jiang Xin’s words, realized for the first time that there was someone in the room they didn’t recognize very well.

They were genuinely surprised.

Because back when Jiang Xin and Fu Yu got married, Mrs. Fu’s family didn’t attend the wedding.

They thought even though they could have a free meal, as relatives, it would look bad not to bring a gift.

If villagers saw, they would be laughed at, so they simply didn’t go.

Besides, the bride originally chosen was switched at the last minute. By not attending, it was as if they disapproved of the marriage, so people wouldn’t talk behind their backs.

After all, the marriage looked disgraceful.

If it wasn’t for Jiang Xin interfering, Fu Yu should have married Jiang Wan.

So, they simply didn’t attend, especially since they didn’t think much of Jiang Xin, the cheap substitute.

Therefore, at this moment, upon seeing Jiang Xin, they felt entirely unfamiliar towards her.

They didn’t recognize Jiang Xin at all, nor did they know she was Fu Yu’s wife.

After Jiang Xin spoke, Mrs. Fu’s mother and sister-in-law felt immediately awkward.

They hadn’t realized that when they were speaking, the owner was right there.

If they had known, they wouldn’t have said those things.

Being overheard now, they were completely at a loss.

It couldn’t be more embarrassing.

Compared to Mrs. Fu, her own mother and sister-in-law still had some sense.

At least when they heard Jiang Xin claim the skirts and refuse to give them one, they didn’t fly into a rage at her.

If it were Mrs. Fu, she likely would have started cursing already, and not only that, she would have morally degraded Jiang Xin, calling her heartless.

Otherwise, how could Jiang Xin speak the truth?

Just as that sentence was finished, a few seconds later, Mrs. Fu’s voice erupted in the room:

"Shameless girl, I steal a few skirts from you, and you think you can be all high and mighty."

"Back then, wasn’t it you who eagerly wanted to marry my son? Now, no matter what, I’m your mother-in-law, can’t I take a few skirts from you?"
