CHAPTER 194: CHAPTER 157: WIDE AWAKE

For so many years, she has always been dedicating herself to her maternal family.

Not only has she neglected her own family, but she herself has been overlooked quite a lot.

Obviously, at over fifty years old, the elderly women of her age in the village generally don’t do much and just comfortably take care of their grandchildren at home. But her? All these years, she has been diligently working hard for her maternal family.

So even at her age, she and Mr. Fu, the old couple, have always been hustling for the sake of this family.

Sure, her son earns quite a bit every month, but they still use their own abilities to make money, just to ensure her maternal family’s days are better.

But her maternal family doesn’t appreciate her goodness at all.

They directly take her dedication as something she ought to do, not only showing no gratitude but even arrogantly appearing superior all the time, as if they look down on her.

Mrs. Fu feels irritated just thinking about it.

And right now, the words they’ve just said are so unpleasant, simply because she took a few pieces of clothing, they fear it would affect their family’s image in the village and want to sever all ties with her.

Now, when they realized the matter hasn’t escalated much, they immediately regretted it. Not only do they want to restore ties with her, but they also want her to spend over a hundred dollars to buy a skirt for her niece.

Does she look like a sucker?

She does enjoy supporting her maternal family, but it doesn’t mean she’s stupid; after being deeply hurt, a few sweet words aren’t enough to win her back.

She was like that before, but people grow, and after suffering losses so many times, Mrs. Fu can finally distinguish who is good to her and who isn’t.

Mrs. Fu now can’t listen to a thing and just wants to have her family live well.

With her second son’s salary, it’s completely enough for the old couple to enjoy a good life.

In the future, if she doesn’t get close to her maternal family, her family can have meat every meal.

There’s no need to endure hardship and feed another family to become fat at the expense of her own family eating potatoes every day, when they don’t even appreciate it.

Besides, Mrs. Fu isn’t a fool; she knows clearly that her sister-in-law’s words are just to persuade her.

Because just now, she said she wanted to sever all ties with her maternal family and not give them money anymore.

That’s why her sister-in-law is so flustered and apologizing now, even resorting to soft words.

Isn’t it just because they’re afraid she won’t give her maternal family money in the future?

Moreover, Mrs. Fu always knew in her heart that her maternal family is polite to her just because they see her as a cash cow.

Every time she spends money on her maternal family, she doesn’t hold back, sometimes even giving thousands on a single occasion.

Not to mention, this time she bought a house for her nephew.

She directly spent thousands without hesitation.

She emptied the family’s savings, yet her maternal family still suspects she hid some money without giving it all to help them.

Thinking about it now, it’s truly ridiculous.

Her maternal family has always shown this face, but why didn’t she see it earlier?

Her sister-in-law really took her for a fool; every time she visited her maternal family, although she brought a lot of gifts and stuff, her brother’s wife never gave her a good face.

Such a flustered look like now, speaking kindly and gently to her, never happened before.

In the past, she would roll her eyes often.

Ultimately, it’s all about her son’s benefits, isn’t it?

After all, her family also has a younger son who is soon of marriage age; if they fall out with her at this time, there’ll be no cash cow in the future.

After all, Mrs. Fu is also known as a shrew in the village.
