Chapter 180 - 152: An Unpleasant Name
CHAPTER 180: CHAPTER 152: AN UNPLEASANT NAME
Even if she wasn’t satisfied with this daughter-in-law, it was still a major event in their son’s life.
Initially, Mrs. Fu didn’t even want to host a banquet, just intended to hold a simple ceremony and be done with it.
After all, their family simply didn’t have the means for extravagance.
Mr. Fu at that time thought Mrs. Fu was dissatisfied with Jiang Xin as a daughter-in-law, which is why she was so indifferent and dismissive about the wedding.
What he didn’t know was that Mrs. Fu had given all the money in her pocket as a dowry for her nephew from her mother’s side.
Not only that, she even provided a substantial amount to buy a house for her nephew in the town.
So by the time Fu Yu was about to get married, she truly had no money left.
It wasn’t that she was stingy; Mrs. Fu, after all, had lived in the village for many years and certainly wasn’t lacking in common sense.
She knew that for an event as significant as a wedding, you have to spend what needs to be spent and not spend what’s unnecessary.
A son marries only once in his life, and of course, it should be done properly; but the problem was, she simply had no money.
Moreover, the bitterness in Mrs. Fu’s heart couldn’t be shared with anyone; if Mr. Fu knew she’d been secretly helping her mother’s family all these years, he’d surely have fought with her endlessly.
Such a risk, Mrs. Fu certainly wouldn’t take.
So, it happened that just at that moment, Jiang Xin unknowingly stumbled into the situation.
It even gave Mrs. Fu an excuse to say out loud that she wasn’t satisfied with Jiang Xin as a daughter-in-law, hence her lack of enthusiasm for the wedding details.
In this way, the people in the village wouldn’t laugh too much at their family, and they would even help her criticize Jiang Xin.
After all, Jiang Wan was such an excellent girl, she almost became their daughter-in-law. To lose such a daughter-in-law, who was admitted to the provincial normal university, was truly a loss of a piece of gold for their family.
Thinking this way, how could Mrs. Fu not have any resentment?
She subconsciously vented all these resentments on Jiang Xin.
Firstly, this way less money would be spent.
Secondly, she really didn’t have any money.
During that time, Fu Yu had just returned from sea, and all the money he had earned was handed to her.
Basically, the money hadn’t even warmed her pocket before it was used to help her mother’s family.
Logically, this sum of money was quite significant; that time Fu Yu earned much more than before during his sea voyage.
And perhaps knowing he was about to get married, Fu Yu worked especially hard during that period.
His aim was to earn more money to support the family, and after marriage, strive even more for his small family.
However, he didn’t know that the biggest mistake he made was handing all his earnings to Mrs. Fu to manage.
After all, Mrs. Fu was his biological mother, and no matter what, she wouldn’t hurt him.
That’s what Fu Yu believed.
Little did he know how ridiculous such thoughts were.
Back then, upon learning Mrs. Fu only gave Mr. Fu ten yuan for the wedding, Fu Yu was silent for a long time.
Finally, seeing Mr. Fu looking anxious, Fu Yu knew no one could persuade his mom given her personality.
Once she’s set her mind, it’s unyielding.
No matter how others advised, it wouldn’t have any impact.
So instead of wasting his breath, it seemed better to think of other ways to solve the problem.
That way, he could waste less time.
Thus, Fu Yu directly took on all responsibilities, telling Mr. Fu to relax, saying he would handle all the arrangements for the wedding himself.
No matter what, he was already a grown man by then.
He had such responsibility.
Moreover, he was the one getting married, even though the bride changed at the last minute, but this was the path he chose, so there was nothing to regret.
Additionally, if Fu Yu were to marry Jiang Wan, he would feel uneasy, despite having earned quite a bit over the years.
It’s enough to support a family.
But since Jiang Wan got into the normal university in the provincial capital, Fu Yu already had a premonition in his heart.
