CHAPTER 135: CHAPTER 135: SEVERING TIES

Suddenly, all the gazes from the villagers fell one by one on Mrs. Fu.

Mrs. Fu broke out in a cold sweat immediately, not knowing what had happened at home to bring a police car over. Her mind was filled with countless bad scenarios.

She suddenly felt extremely anxious.

Looking somewhat at a loss, after all, she was just a rural woman who had not seen much of the world living all these years.

To her, if a police car came, it must be something really big; otherwise, how could it alarm the police?

Mrs. Fu even started to panic, thinking of Fu Yu, who was out at sea and hadn’t returned home.

Mrs. Fu envisioned the worst-case scenario in her heart: could it be that something happened to Fu Yu, and the police came to deliver bad news?

Thinking back to the past, if the time at sea was too long, Fu Yu would always find a chance to borrow a phone near the location of his trip, if there was a village nearby, to call home and assure them of his safety.

But this time, he’d been gone so long without any news, and Mrs. Fu immediately began to overthink.

Especially when she saw the entire village staring at her, Mrs. Fu broke down and cried.

"Why are you all looking at me? I also don’t know why the police would come to our home."

Mrs. Fu was so anxious that tears were streaming down.

No matter what, Fu Yu was her biological son, and the one she had the highest hopes for.

If something really had happened to him, who would take care of her in the latter half of her life?

Mrs. Fu was counting on this son.

After all, her eldest son had long been seduced away by that vixen of a daughter-in-law.

He doesn’t even come home now.

She was counting on Fu Yu to take care of them in their old age, but if anything happened to him, she really couldn’t go on living.

"Could it be that something happened to our Fu Yu?"

"He’s been out at sea for so long without calling or sending any messages back home. We don’t even know if he’s safe now."

"Did something happen...?"

"Oh my poor son, what kind of bad luck is this, marrying such a wasteful wife aside, he’s even losing his life now."

Mrs. Fu was crying and wailing there, leaving the surrounding villagers a bit at a loss.

The police car had just stopped at her door, and she went ahead and concluded something happened to her son without even knowing what was going on.

No idea what to say, couldn’t she think of something positive?

What is she thinking about all day?

Everyone was at a loss, but seeing Mrs. Fu so anxious, they could only offer a few words of comfort, as they themselves would worry too if their son was out somewhere.

"Fu Yu’s mom, don’t overthink it. Maybe the police came for some other reason to find you."

"Yeah, yeah, although Fu Yu isn’t home, he’s been out at sea many times, he’s an experienced person, surely nothing would happen."

"Plus, didn’t he go out with his master this time? His master has over thirty years of experience at sea; with him there, there’ll be no problem, rest assured."

"Yeah, the police are already at your door, better to go inside to ask about the situation than crying here and needlessly worrying."

"Yeah, yeah, he’s right. Even if you’re anxious now, it doesn’t do any good. Better calm down, go inside, find out what’s happening, and then worry if necessary."

The villagers took turns trying to console Mrs. Fu.

However, their words were half encouraging, half not.

They were essentially pushing Mrs. Fu to quickly go and see what was happening at her home that warranted a police visit, as it must be something big.

Some villagers quickly thought of finding Mr. Fu after seeing the police car.

If there really was a big problem at home, a man would be needed.

No matter how formidable Mrs. Fu was, she was still a woman and wouldn’t be able to handle a big issue alone.

Also, Mrs. Fu lacked experience, so Mr. Fu was needed.

Initially, this group gossiping at the village entrance instantly split into two: one group went to fetch Mr. Fu back, while the other helped Mrs. Fu to their home to find out what was going on.

However, before they went in,

they saw Jiang Xin getting out of the police car from afar.

Mrs. Fu, who had been panicked, instantly perked up when she saw this scene.

Since it was Jiang Xin who got out of the police car, it meant her son wasn’t in trouble, it might be Jiang Xin, that little troublemaker, who’d caused something.

Now, the police drove here, causing such commotion, truly incapable of behaving peacefully.

The villagers naturally saw this scene too and immediately felt puzzled.

What could Jiang Xin, a young girl, have done?

To have involved the police coming to their house, it seemed like something big.

Unexpectedly, at her young age, Jiang Xin had caused such trouble.

Truly unfortunate for their family!

No wonder Mrs. Fu would come to the village entrance to scold her every day!

Before they could even ask, they heard Mrs. Fu’s reprimanding tone saying:

"Bah, I knew that Jiang Xin, that little brat, sneaking out as soon as day breaks, surely up to no good."

"She must be up to something disgraceful outside."

"It’s bad enough if she brings trouble upon herself, but she even drags our family down. If the word spreads, our reputation will be ruined."

"Everyone in the village is here today, you can be my witnesses. If the police take Jiang Xin away later, I’m kicking her out immediately and severing ties."

"Whatever she does has nothing to do with our family!"

Mrs. Fu looked as if she were gritting her teeth in hatred.
