CHAPTER 143: CHAPTER 140: SPEAKING UP FOR MRS. FU (PART 2)

"In my opinion, could it be those sales clerks at the clothing store who did it?"

"They saw you bought a lot of clothes and thought you were rich, so they followed you to see where you lived and then, while you were not home, came back to steal all those clothes!"

As Mrs. Fu spoke, she felt her idea was quite reasonable. Anyway, at the moment, she was very anxious to clear her name and avoid any suspicion from others, so she could feel more at ease.

In any case, Mrs. Fu knew how to divert attention from trouble.

After Mrs. Fu’s nonsense, even the villagers felt she was being too outrageous.

This idea was really too brainless.

No other clever person could come up with such a line of thought.

The sales clerks at that Department Store are all official employees, so of course, they wouldn’t stoop to such actions.

Moreover, from their perspective, they all thought Jiang Xin was being overly extravagant for spending hundreds of yuan to buy clothes at the Department Store.

But, as far as the town is concerned, that’s completely normal.

That Department Store being open in town definitely makes sense, which means there is a certain audience for it.

It’s just that they’re not part of it.

Jiang Xin may appear wealthy, but there are definitely richer people in town than her.

It’s simply because they earn less that they consider spending two hundred yuan on clothes to be a fool’s errand.

If it were someone from a wealthy family, spending a thousand or so yuan each month on clothes at the Department Store would be perfectly reasonable.

Perhaps, the employees there are accustomed to it, and for them, small clients like Jiang Xin are too common.

Therefore, of course, they wouldn’t do such nonsensical things, plus the formal employees there, just with their monthly salary plus sales commissions, are already sufficient to cover their expenses.

Besides, it’s very clear in their minds what kind of standing the employees at that Department Store have.

If you don’t have some connections, you can’t get in, so the family must have some wealth.

This is why it’s said Mrs. Fu didn’t think before she spoke.

The scenarios she envisioned were completely impossible.

So, as soon as her voice dropped, even before Jiang Xin could speak, the villagers watching the scene started opening their mouths to talk about Mrs. Fu:

"Mrs. Fu, I know you’re upset with your daughter-in-law, but we can’t be unreasonable."

"How could an employee from the Department Store possibly come to your house to steal things? It’s simply not realistic."

"Exactly, listen to what she’s saying, it’s so irrational, no wonder her old man can’t stand her, if it were me, I’d also be mad."

"This is clearly a case of a burglar entering the house, and now we’re here thinking about where the burglar could have come from, and she’s blaming everything on her daughter-in-law."

"It’s simply absurd. No wonder Jiang Xin is upset. If it were me, I couldn’t stand such a mean and bitter mother-in-law!"

Some were speaking up for the Department Store employees, while others were defending Jiang Xin.

But among them, there were also those who had been good friends with Mrs. Fu for many years and indeed had daughters of their own who were about the same age as Fu Yu.

Given the good conditions of the Fu Family, they naturally kept an eye out, so taking advantage of this opportunity, they quickly spoke up to support Mrs. Fu.

"Oh come on, look at you all making cynical remarks there, it’s easy to talk when it’s not your own heart that’s hurting."

"You know, initially, the one Fu Yu was going to marry wasn’t Jiang Xin, but her distant cousin. If she hadn’t interfered, that couple would be living happily married now. It’s all because of this third party that the household is in disorder and the days feel off!"
