CHAPTER 190: CHAPTER 156: PERSUASION

How can this be okay?

So, they all say they don’t care about Mrs. Fu, about the little offerings she gives them now and then.

But if we’re being honest.

If Mrs. Fu really decided not to bother with their well-being anymore, just how hard would their days become?

Anyway, it certainly wouldn’t be as prosperous as before.

After all, over so many years.

Their family has long developed the bad habit of a life of ease and comfort.

Not only do they spend money lavishly, but they are used to being lazy as well.

So young, yet having no idea of earning money with their own hands, just idling away at home all day long.

Anyway, no matter what, there’s always Mrs. Fu, that fool, to back them up.

No matter how you look at it, with Mrs. Fu’s penchant for meddling in family affairs, plus Fu Yu being so capable at earning money.

As long as Mrs. Fu is around, their family can always live a life of ease, never short on money.

Even if they look down on Mrs. Fu, at this moment, hearing Mrs. Fu say she wants to completely cut off relations with them, how could they not panic inside?

That’s simply losing the one person who could support their family.

Moreover, their eldest son is of marrying age, and the money for the bride price and house has already been spent.

But they have more than one son!

In the back, there’s still a younger son waiting to get married, and this younger son is already eighteen, in the blink of an eye, if there’s no financial support from Mrs. Fu, their family simply can’t make it through.

Actually, the one who panicked first wasn’t Mrs. Fu’s mother, but her sister-in-law from her maternal family.

Mrs. Fu’s sister-in-law was truly scared at this moment; she never expected Mrs. Fu, who had been meek all her life in front of her maternal family, to have such backbone now, truly wanting to sever all ties with them.

How can that be okay!

Heaven knows how well they’ve been living since Mrs. Fu started supporting their family.

Moreover, she knows best what kind of man her husband is, only knowing how to idle his life away.

Aside from flirting with widows at the village entrance, he either plays mahjong or buys a few bottles of liquor to drink himself drunk every day.

He doesn’t act like a father at all.

It’s had quite a big impact on the children at home.

Otherwise, Mrs. Fu’s sister-in-law is actually straightforward and rather spirited by nature.

Deep down, she’s quite strong-willed, but ended up marrying such a useless husband, how could she not be frustrated?

Especially knowing that her husband can’t earn money and can’t provide her and the kids with stable security.

There were frequent fights at home; she quarreled with her husband all the time, life was a mess, and home didn’t feel like home.

Even their eldest son followed in his father’s footsteps, loafing around all day, nearly in his thirties, yet without a proper job.

She urged her son daily to get a proper job, not to idle like his father with no prospects.

Yet ironically, those two—father and son—are cut from the same cloth, no matter how much she persuades him, it won’t work.

Mrs. Fu’s sister-in-law even resorted to scolding her son every day to push him back onto the right path.

But instead, she incurred the displeasure of three family members: Mrs. Fu’s mother, her useless husband, and her eldest son.

These three teamed up to give her a hard time.

Who could stand that?

During that time, she even contemplated divorce, causing a huge commotion at home.

The house was always filled with arguments.

And at that time, their youngest child had just been born for a few months, when he needed his mother the most.

Back then, Mrs. Fu’s sister-in-law seriously thought about divorce.
