CHAPTER 132: CHAPTER 132: SECOND MARRIAGE

Not only that, she even pasted wallpaper inside the wardrobe.

In this way, dust won’t settle.

After all, Jiang Xin has lived two lifetimes, and this is truly the first time she has seen such a worn-out wardrobe.

The top of the wardrobe even lets in drafts.

Plus, the Fu Family originally lived in mud-brick houses, the house is old, and a lot of dust has accumulated on the ceiling.

Probably, it’s because they were dissatisfied with the original daughter-in-law, so despite the marriage of two people, the house wasn’t tidied up properly.

It rather looks like it hasn’t been inhabited for a long time.

Jiang Xin thought about it and could understand; since Fu Yu is rarely home, this place is practically unoccupied.

Over time, naturally, it gives an impression of being neglected and rundown.

And the door handles on the wardrobe’s cabinets seem to have disappeared somewhere.

Sometimes when Jiang Xin takes clothes out, she’s even worried that her forceful tug will break this wardrobe apart.

So originally, she didn’t put anything valuable in this wardrobe.

Valuable items had long been transferred to space, including the trinkets belonging to the original owner.

After all, she is now quite a little miser; though money is external, it truly holds great use in this era.

She certainly couldn’t leave such a sum of money in the wardrobe, waiting for Mrs. Fu to come and steal it.

After opening the wardrobe, Jiang Xin scanned with her eyes and instantly knew what Mrs. Fu had taken from inside.

Fortunately, her survival experiences in the last life granted her a sharp memory.

Jiang Xin has somewhat the skill of photographic memory, recalling the clothes brought by the original owner.

Though she hadn’t worn them, a quick glance is enough for her to know which clothes are hers.

Thus, after looking into the wardrobe, Jiang Xin immediately knew what she had lost.

Upon gaining this realization, Jiang Xin felt emboldened.

It was surely a few dresses with tags still intact.

Because the style was overly sweet, Jiang Xin hadn’t worn any of them.

Even if they were lost, she wouldn’t mind much.

After all, there were countless skirts of better quality in her space, but she was annoyed that Mrs. Fu took her things without permission.

Jiang Xin pondered a strategy to turn the tables and teach Mrs. Fu a lesson, so she wouldn’t take things without permission again.

If she confronted her directly, Mrs. Fu would definitely deny it to her last breath.

Jiang Xin’s mind raced, and she quickly had an idea.

Isn’t there usually nobody around here?

So maybe she could attribute everything to a thief entering the house.

Why not go to the police station in town and report that a thief broke in and stole her things?

Then, let the police investigate.

Once Jiang Xin had this idea, she immediately put it into action.

She always was a person of action.

She did things swiftly and decisively; upon thinking of this idea, she immediately turned around and headed toward town.

After all, it’s already four in the afternoon; although the police station is open 24 hours.

But if she delayed a bit, it would soon be dark.

Jiang Xin acted on her thoughts; she had often wandered around the town these days, so although the original body was quite frail, she had trained it quite a bit.

Normally, to walk from the village to the town, it took Jiang Xin about half an hour.

Nowadays, she walks faster from the village to the town, taking about seventeen or eighteen minutes, saving over ten minutes.

When Jiang Xin arrived at the town’s police station, dusk was just appearing.

She roughly calculated in her mind, according to past timing, Mrs. Fu and the others should probably be home by now.

Or perhaps they’re chatting with the gossiping ladies at the village entrance.

That’s just right; it saves her from finding someone in the village later.

After entering the police station, Jiang Xin directly reported a burglary.

The police’s response was swift.

Jiang Xin then took a police car back to the village with the officers.

In those days, buying a bicycle in a village was a rarity that would spark several days of discussion.

So at this time, villagers gathered at the village entrance after dinner for idle chatter.

Sure enough, Mrs. Fu was among them.

Those days, a police car entering the village indicated something major.

But these housewives gathered at the village entrance for idle gossip and complaints; no significant incidents have been reported.

Their gossip instinct instantly ignited.

Originally, the women gossiping about their daughter-in-laws stopped abruptly.

Eyes warmly fixated on the police car.

Wondering which household encountered such a major event to involve the police, it was indeed shocking.

Mrs. Fu was actually just complaining about Jiang Xin among the gossipers, which largely revolved around her idle chatter.

After all, Jiang Xin hadn’t been home much during the day lately, so Mrs. Fu picked up some non-existent faults of Jiang Xin to gossip about.

For example, perhaps Jiang Xin is not home during the day and may be out with some man, really disgracing her son.

When her son returns, she plans to let him divorce Jiang Xin.

Moreover, flaunting their family’s good conditions, Mrs. Fu privately inquired among close sisters in the village and found several girls, planning for Fu Yu to immediately consider marriage after divorcing Jiang Xin.

She believed, with their household’s conditions, what kind of good daughter-in-law couldn’t they find?

That vile Jiang Xin was delaying her son.

Otherwise, why would this first marriage suddenly become a second marriage?
