"People say that marrying off a daughter is like throwing water away; everything she does is her own business."
"No matter what, it shouldn’t reach our doorstep!"
Mrs. Fu’s sister-in-law urgently chimed in after hearing this:
"Yes, yes, it has nothing to do with our family!"
Mrs. Fu urgently trying to distance herself, along with her cold words.
Really left Mrs. Fu a bit lost, her expression suddenly became somewhat desolate.
Suddenly, she realized that all these years, her frugality and financial support to her maternal family had been feeding a pack of ungrateful wolves. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel~fire~net
In her current difficulty, her mother from her maternal family not only refused to plead on her behalf but was also eager to distance themselves for fear that she might implicate the whole family.
It’s simply ridiculous.
Now, Mrs. Fu finally gained some clarity, feeling that all she had done in past years was a waste of time and money.
By now, they had already built several grand tile-roofed houses.
Even installed bright electric lights inside the house.
Whereas, their son had been risking his life at sea to earn money, hoping to provide them a good life.
But in the end, this muddle-headed woman allocated all the money to her maternal family, and their own family has lived in hardship all along.
Every meal was nothing but wild vegetables, not even a scrap of meat.
The food was incredibly plain.
If they lived according to her son’s earning capacity,
their life would be among the best in the village.
Why live so tightly now, with the whole family crammed into a shabby mud house, pockets empty, struggling to make a living?
Mrs. Fu was on the verge of tears, unable to know how to react.
This reaction made Jiang Xin, who didn’t know the inside story, think it was because Mrs. Fu had been beaten silly by her mother and sister-in-law, hence she wasn’t saying a word.
Looking at Mrs. Fu in such a state, Jiang Xin didn’t know what to say.
For she indeed felt that Mrs. Fu’s maternal family’s actions were too heartbreaking.
Without thinking, she could guess that Mrs. Fu had supported her maternal family a lot over the years.
Otherwise, her maternal family wouldn’t be living so well now,
unfortunately, all this was just a wasted effort.
Relationships maintained by interests wouldn’t last long.
If Mrs. Fu stopped supporting her maternal family in the future, she might not even be able to step foot in her maternal home.
Though Mrs. Fu was treated like a valued guest before whenever she returned home because there was money in her pocket.
She could provide benefits for her maternal family.
But now, with today’s incident unfolding,
judging from their attitude just now, it seemed they were ready to sever ties.
Jiang Xin was thinking about this when,
on the other side, Mrs. Fu’s maternal mother spoke up, her words were truly shocking.
Unexpectedly, she really intended to sever the mother-daughter relationship with Mrs. Fu.
In front of everyone, Mrs. Fu’s maternal mother said to the police officer:
"Officer, I’m not afraid of you laughing at me, today, in front of you, I’d like you to be a witness and help resolve this family issue for me."
"Our family tradition is to properly educate our children."
"For someone like her, a warped social misfit who still hasn’t learned by this age."
"This ungrateful daughter, today I announce, I am severing our mother-daughter relationship, in the future, even if I die, I won’t need her to care for me or send me off."
"I will just consider as if I don’t have such a daughter."
"If I’m not mistaken, you are here today to make an arrest, then just take her away, everything she’s done has nothing to do with our family, don’t involve us in any way!"
Mrs. Fu’s maternal family’s obvious avoidance statement couldn’t be more blatant.
