If I had known it would be , why bother in the first place? Mr. Fu acted , even had a row with her, leaving himself feeling uneasy. Anyway, Mrs. Fu was not just a little pleased from the bottom of her heart. She has always been strong and domineering, and in this household, she has always called the shots. There’s simply no place for Mr. Fu to speak. Plus, the kids in the family always, without exception, listen to her as the mom. To be honest, Mr. Fu as a father, doesn’t have a strong sense of presence at home. Mrs. Fu at this moment is feeling smug for secretly taking Jiang Xin’s clothes. Little did she know, this is why Mr. Fu, after advising her, turned around and left the courtyard. It wasn’t because he couldn’t win an argument with Mrs. Fu, but because he felt Mrs. Fu was hopeless and didn’t want to deal with her anymore. Mrs. Fu lowers her head, looking at the few sets of new clothes she just turned out from Jiang Xin’s wardrobe. She went all out, directly taking six sets of clothes from Jiang Xin’s wardrobe. Mrs. Fu thought, since she was going to take something secretly, she might as well take more to save herself trouble later. When taking the clothes, Mrs. Fu picked the best she could, avoiding bad colors and styles. Since it’s for her niece back in her hometown, she surely needed to choose the good ones to send. So, the clothes Mrs. Fu chose were all new with tags not yet removed. This way, when she gives them, she still has face. If her niece back home could end up with a good marriage because of this, wouldn’t her brother and sister-in-law have to be grateful to her! Thinking of this, Mrs. Fu felt happy at the thought that her relatives back home would practically worship her. Mrs. Fu somewhat helps out her family back home; if others are obsessed with helping their brothers, then Mrs. Fu is obsessed with helping her brother. Over these years, she hasn’t stopped giving money to support her family because they live in hardship. Her brother and sister-in-law couldn’t earn much, leaving the whole family struggling, living from hand to mouth. The niece is already eighteen years old, yet her clothes still have patches. Mrs. Fu is living quite well currently, so every time she sees the nieces, it pains her. Luckily, her kids all have promising futures and are capable of making money, especially Fu Yu, who earns several hundred yuan every time he goes to sea. Moreover, Fu Yu is very filial. Each time he earns money, he leaves nothing in his pocket, handing it all over to Mrs. Fu for safekeeping. Every time Mrs. Fu gets the money, she says it’s for saving up for Fu Yu’s marriage. But in fact, all the hard-earned money Fu Yu has made over the years has been secretly used by Mrs. Fu to help her family back home. Mrs. Fu’s family back home somewhat favors males over females, so before she got married, her family didn’t treat her well. Her nickname was even "Summon Sister." They implied that, although she already had a brother, her parents believed one son wasn’t enough, and they needed to have more. This is why they gave her such an unpleasant nickname. Yet, Mrs. Fu is completely unclear in her mind and still thinks her family is good. So over the years, she has secretly helped her family back home behind Mr. Fu and Fu Yu’s backs. Having money makes one a good person; her family naturally treats Mrs. Fu as a good person because she gives them a lot of money. In ordinary days when she goes back, her status at home rises sharply. But she doesn’t realize she is nurturing a bunch of ingrates, ungrateful ones that can never be truly appreciated. Ultimately, isn’t it her own son who gets the short end of the stick? Considering their current state, what kind of hard life are they living now? Clearly, the village has been connected with electricity, and every household has installed electric lights. But they are the only ones without because Mrs. Fu simply doesn’t have the money to pay for the installation. Even if she had it, she would spend it on supporting her family back home. Although on the surface, Fu Yu earns quite a lot, Mrs. Fu doesn’t actually have much money in her pocket. Otherwise, how could she and Mr. Fu eat poorly every day, with meals that lack nutrition? Ultimately, all of this is to blame on Mrs. Fu. Recently, her nephew was going to get married and couldn’t come up with the bride price. Over the years, her brother and sister-in-law’s appetite has grown big, spoiled by her support. Each time Mrs. Fu returned, giving money generously, they developed a habit of not striving themselves but relying on Mrs. Fu for a carefree life. When they couldn’t come up with the bride price, the first person they thought of was Mrs. Fu. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩•𝗳𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝕟𝕖𝕥 They shamelessly came to the Fu Family to ask Mrs. Fu for money. But Mrs. Fu is just a fool. People come to your door shamelessly asking for money, and Mrs. Fu even feels it’s her brother and sister-in-law valuing her. Thus they came to discuss this big matter with her. After all, how could she possibly bear not to let her own nephew get a wife? So Mrs. Fu readily brought out the bride price money. Without the slightest hesitation! Over the years, her brother’s family has even managed to build a new house thanks to the intermittent money Mrs. Fu provided, living quite comfortably. In the end, the only ones suffering are their own family, who are still living in adobe houses without even a lamp. To eat well, they even have to pinch pennies, unwilling to spend even a little. Even Mr. Fu doesn’t know about all this. So all these years, whenever there’s a market day in town, and Mrs. Fu buys vegetables, she does so frugally, always complaining about having no money. Mr. Fu doesn’t understand this as he believes Mrs. Fu is just thrifty from years of hardship and reluctant to spend on food. For this reason, Mr. Fu often advises Mrs. Fu, saying times have changed. There’s no need to suffer hardships needlessly; besides, the kids can make money, they’ve been working hard for half their lives, and it’s their time to enjoy life. Whenever Mrs. Fu hears Mr. Fu nagging, she feels particularly guilty. After all, Mr. Fu doesn’t know about her secretly supporting her family back home; if he knew, wouldn’t he throw her out of the house!
