CHAPTER 139: CHAPTER 139: RETORT

Though she felt guilty, the lesson still needed to be taught.

How could Mrs. Fu possibly let such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip by?

Though she was flustered and unsure of what to do,

she couldn’t help but throw a few scolding words at Jiang Xin, especially now when the house was full of people, which gave her the courage she needed.

In front of the police and the villagers, she didn’t believe Jiang Xin could make her lose face.

Mrs. Fu secretly felt that no matter how unfilial Jiang Xin might be, she couldn’t possibly publicly embarrass her mother-in-law in front of a crowd, could she?

So what’s wrong with scolding Jiang Xin a bit?

As a mother-in-law, it’s quite normal to discipline her daughter-in-law, isn’t it?

Besides, Mrs. Fu had been holding a grudge because Jiang Xin embarrassed her in front of the villagers last night, which even got her chastised by the village chief.

Her old friends might even be secretly laughing at her.

Indeed, she had lost quite a bit of face.

Now that she had the chance, naturally Mrs. Fu had to regain her dignity, especially since her old man wasn’t home, it was a great opportunity with no one to undermine her.

If Mr. Fu were at home, with his righteous mind, he wouldn’t stand for any nonsense.

If she tried to scold Jiang Xin in front of him, that old man would definitely stop her, and not just that, he’d point out her faults too.

Now, while he’s not home, she must seize the chance to speak her mind.

Thinking of this made Mrs. Fu seethe with anger, clearly, she and Mr. Fu had been together for a lifetime.

But from recent events, Mrs. Fu clearly felt that during her arguments with Jiang Xin, Mr. Fu seemed to side with Jiang Xin.

Especially today, when she was caught jumping through the window.

It was Mr. Fu who caught her in the act.

The old man couldn’t persuade her, got so angry that he left home.

He still hadn’t come back after all this time, probably gone playing cards with his buddies at the village entrance.

This thought made Mrs. Fu grind her teeth in anger.

She planned to clean up this mess at home first. Once the old man returned, she’d definitely settle the score with him.

How could anyone side with outsiders in family matters?

Jiang Xin and their son were bound to divorce sooner or later, so to them, Jiang Xin was an outsider.

The old man sided with Jiang Xin, even publicly criticized her when she quarreled with Jiang Xin in front of the villagers that afternoon.

That day, Mrs. Fu was humiliated to the extreme.

She thought she’d settle both old scores and new grudges at that time.

Of course, the most important thing now was to quickly clean up this mess, before the villagers started suspecting anything.

Why did the thief come into their house and only steal from Jiang Xin’s room?

Isn’t there something suspicious about that?

The thief was obviously her.

Especially after Jiang Xin’s recent remarks, the way the villagers looked at her instantly changed. Clearly, they suspected her.

Moreover, these people weren’t fools.

With a little deduction, they’d naturally figure it out.

Mrs. Fu thought, as long as she didn’t admit it, even if they suspect her, there was nothing they could do.

At the time when she stole Jiang Xin’s clothes.

It was a busy time in the village; no one was out for a stroll, so there were no witnesses to her theft.

The only witness wasn’t home now.

So, as long as she firmly denied it,

she could muddle through this; no one could do anything to her.

Mrs. Fu’s mind spun quickly.

Upon hearing Jiang Xin ask why the thief only stole from her room,

Mrs. Fu immediately thought of a response to counter Jiang Xin.

Once she had a plan, Mrs. Fu spoke up, looking at Jiang Xin with a sharp and sour expression:
