CHAPTER 169: CHAPTER 149: PATCHING UP FOR ANOTHER THREE YEARS

Even though many a little makes a mickle, when these sums are combined, it’s a huge amount.

However, this person’s ambition was gradually being nurtured.

They started to suspect Mrs. Fu, feeling that she ultimately held back from them. After all, who would always side with outsiders?

Chances are, of the money that Fu Yu earned, Mrs. Fu only spent about a third on them.

Ultimately, there was still some holding back.

After all, they were merely her family by blood.

How could Mrs. Fu possibly spend all her money on them?

Now, their family still lived in a mud-brick house, seemingly just to pretend to be poor with them.

This way, when their family was short on money, Mrs. Fu could use this as an excuse to dodge them.

These comments, when Mrs. Fu was not at her maiden home, were secretly discussed behind her back by her elder sister-in-law and her mother.

They were even dissatisfied with her.

They thought that despite their family living like this, she still held back.

If only she handed over all the money she had, their family’s life would certainly improve.

Why did their precious grandson have to wait until almost thirty to barely get a wife?

If only Mrs. Fu had been more generous earlier, she might even be holding a grandchild by now.

How hateful!

Luckily for her, Mrs. Fu’s mother and sister-in-law only discussed these things in private.

If Mrs. Fu heard these words directly, her heart would probably turn cold.

This was more than just a family of ungrateful people.

It was simply a bottomless pit, one that couldn’t be filled no matter how much effort was put in.

The key was their lack of gratitude.

Just thinking about it made one feel particularly frustrated.

Over the years, though Fu Yu earned a lot working out at sea,

honestly, he hadn’t saved much at all.

After all, Fu Yu’s salary had to support two entire families.

Moreover, Mrs. Fu’s maiden family not only spent money lavishly but also treated Mrs. Fu as an automated teller machine.

Whenever they were short of money, they would directly ask Mrs. Fu for it, without ever considering that, being young and strong, they could earn a living themselves.

They really just didn’t want to face any hardship.

After all, in their eyes, with Fu Yu able to make money and Mrs. Fu willing to help them, if they didn’t enjoy such a blessing, wouldn’t they be fools?

So over time, they naturally came to feel that everything Mrs. Fu did for their family was because she was supposed to.

They not only lacked any gratitude but also felt that everything was just as it should be.

So at this moment, no one in their family cared about Mrs. Fu’s well-being.

When they heard the police asking them to hand over those dresses,

Mrs. Fu’s mother and sister-in-law exchanged glances instantly.

Their meaning was very clear: those dresses must absolutely not be handed over.

Dresses of such value were not ordinary ones; they were practically walking RMB.

Once this matter was resolved, they would find a way to sell these dresses on the black market and exchange them for money, allowing their family to eat a lot more pork ribs.

So, when facing the police officers’ questions, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were uncannily consistent.

They both denied everything, speaking in unison, and then said:

"Officers, don’t listen to her nonsense. How could we know where those dresses are? It’s possible she knew they were expensive and secretly took them to exchange for money. They’re definitely not in our home!"

"Yes, exactly, we haven’t seen any dresses you’re talking about. They’re not here with us. You must be looking in the wrong place!"

"It’s likely that this wicked girl is lying to you, saying she put things in our home, and that’s just plain framing!"

"We’ve never treated you poorly. Every time you came back, we treated you like an honored guest, serving you the best food and drinks."
