CHAPTER 148: CHAPTER 142: CARELESSNESS

Let’s not talk about anything else, but in this matter, Jiang Xin can be described as thoroughly open-hearted.

She hasn’t spent a single cent of someone else’s money; every penny she earns is in her own pocket.

Moreover, it’s all very clean.

She can withstand anyone’s investigation.

Nowadays, she doesn’t dare to say that her main reason for setting up a stall in the market is simply because Jiang Xin doesn’t want anyone to know about her space.

If that were to happen, it would bring about a lot of trouble, so Jiang Xin prefers not to mention it and doesn’t want others to know about the space—it’s just her own little secret.

After all, in this era, there hasn’t been anyone who can truly make Jiang Xin reveal all her secrets wholeheartedly.

Therefore, Jiang Xin directly retorted:

"Listen to yourself, are those words even human?"

"You’ve lived this long, hasn’t your mother told you not to meddle in other people’s business?"

"You don’t even understand our family’s situation, yet you’re speaking nonsense here. Ever since I married in, I haven’t spent a single penny of their family’s money. The money in my pocket now was all given by my parents, and I can spend it however I want!"

"If I want to buy some clothes, I will buy some clothes; it’s my own right and freedom, and you have no right to interfere!"

"It’s ridiculous to say I’m being wasteful. I’m spending my own money, and I can be as wasteful as I want. However much money I have is however much power I have. If I want to buy as many clothes, I’ll buy as many clothes!"

Even those who had just supported Mrs. Fu hadn’t realized that the money Jiang Xin spent was all given by her own parents.

This genuinely surprised her.

Moreover, she truly hadn’t understood the situation before speaking out; this was also partly her fault.

After all, every day at the village entrance, the most commonly heard words were Mrs. Fu’s complaints about her daughter-in-law being extravagant in spending.

Saying that her son, who painstakingly earned money by going out to sea, was almost spent completely by Jiang Xin.

Who would have thought there was such a case hidden in it?

It turned out that the money spent was all given by Jiang Xin’s own parents.

But then why would Mrs. Fu say that at the village entrance every day, claiming Jiang Xin is extravagant? It’s genuinely surprising—it’s outright lying!

When two people speak conflicting stories, it’s natural for others to doubt.

There were quite a few people present, and when they saw the police car, a lot of neighbors rushed into the Fu Family courtyard to see the commotion and understand the situation. They all witnessed this scene.

All of a sudden, everyone’s eyes turned to Mrs. Fu, waiting to hear how she would explain.

After all, they felt that Jiang Xin spoke with such conviction, she must not be lying; otherwise, she wouldn’t have the courage.

It’s highly possible that the liar is Mrs. Fu.

But it didn’t make any sense to act this way; a daughter-in-law spending money given by her parents to buy clothes is a perfectly normal thing, right?

Why does Mrs. Fu always say her daughter-in-law is wasteful, accusing her of spending her son’s money, when that’s completely unreasonable.

When Mrs. Fu noticed everyone’s gaze directed toward her, she didn’t feel guilty this time. After all, in her mind, since Jiang Xin married into their family, every penny Jiang Xin has should be theirs.

Money given by her parents should also belong to her son, don’t they say it’s a couple’s joint property?

So she confidently told them:

"What are you looking at? Do you really think I, an old woman, would lie? She did spend quite a bit of money on clothes!"

"Even if she didn’t spend my son’s earnings, they are already married, so naturally, the money in her pocket becomes my son’s."

"Their joint property is going to be completely spent by her, and half of the money and vouchers sent by her parents belong to my son. If she spends it all, won’t my son have nothing left to spend?"

After Mrs. Fu shamelessly said these words, those who heard them felt sick.
