Although their relationship has somewhat eased nowadays, Jiang Xin still feels it’s better to avoid trouble.
So, the matter of him setting up a stall at the market should temporarily not be told to Mrs. Fu and Mr. Fu. In case they find out in the end, it might cause a stir again.
Thus, Jiang Xin only said she had business in town but didn’t specify what it was.
Although Mrs. Fu was curious, after all these days, Jiang Xin kept going to town, leaving early and returning late, with no clue of what she was doing.
Mrs. Fu intended to ask but didn’t have the courage. Because their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship was just starting to ease, if her questions upset Jiang Xin, it wouldn’t be worth it. The household might erupt in arguments again.
If Jiang Xin thought she was meddling, it would also cause unpleasantness.
Obviously, Mr. Fu also realized this, so he quickly signaled Mrs. Fu not to continue asking and then immediately said:
"Since you have things to attend to, make haste and go."
"No need to prepare your lunch and dinner, we understand. If you’re hungry, you can eat when you return."
Jiang Xin didn’t refuse. She was quite satisfied with Mrs. Fu and Mr. Fu not meddling.
After all, Jiang Xin was also quite afraid of them prying, as she’d never been good at lying.
If they asked, Jiang Xin planned not to tell the truth temporarily, and given Mrs. Fu’s personality, she might end up going to the market to see what’s happening if she found out about the stall.
Then, she would have to explain Lin Ye, which would only complicate things.
Moreover, she was, after all, Fu Yu’s wife, and they were legally married with a certificate.
In this era, people’s views on male-female relationships were relatively conservative, especially for someone married like herself. If found close with an unfamiliar man, it would surely attract gossip.
Mrs. Fu was still Fu Yu’s mother; even if she couldn’t change her opinion, she would surely have some grievances about it.
Thus, it’s easier to avoid trouble, deciding not to tell them. Now, Jiang Xin had almost fully delegated the market stall to Lin Ye. Google seaʀᴄh novel★fire.net
As for herself, she was busy with other things.
With the stall, Jiang Xin was basically in the position of hands-off management.
Every day, she just needed to transport the goods to the market, hand them over to Lin Ye, and count the money in the evening.
This way, the chance of Jiang Xin encountering acquaintances at the market was low.
So she didn’t have to worry about being seen by acquaintances; as long as she spent less time at the market, nothing would happen.
Moreover, if she truly trusted Mrs. Fu and Mr. Fu, she might tell them about the stall at the market.
But if they questioned her about the supply sources for the goods, Jiang Xin truly would have nothing to defend herself with.
After all, the quality of the items in her space wasn’t something this era’s wages could produce.
Thus, keeping tight-lipped isn’t bad, as it helps her avoid some risks.
After hearing Mr. Fu’s words, Jiang Xin nodded and left the Fu Family’s house.
Then, she strode towards the town.
Upon arriving in town, as usual, Jiang Xin went directly to that corner. When no one was passing by, she discreetly moved all the packed items from her space into the corner.
Then, standing idly in the nook, she waited for Lin Ye to come for the handover.
