But there are still neighbors present, this farce has lasted long enough, Mrs. Fu wanted to find an opportunity to quickly end it, so she said:
"Let’s do this, we’re all family, no need to say who won’t forgive whom."
"The reason I called everyone here today is to make you apologize to me."
"If you apologize, all our past grievances will be written off."
"When Fu Yu returns in the future, if you can live well together, then continue; if not, and you want a divorce, I won’t stop you."
As Mrs. Fu spoke, she thought to herself, it would be best if they quickly divorced, so her son wouldn’t be harmed.
Jiang Xin is truly too much for their family to handle.
"Today, I just need one apology from you. If you don’t apologize, don’t blame me for being rude and kicking you out of the house."
Jiang Xin listened to Mrs. Fu’s threat and raised her eyebrow directly.
Mrs. Fu has presumed that Jiang Xin is alone, with her parents far away in another province, with no support, so if she is kicked out of the Fu Family, she would indeed be homeless.
Mrs. Fu might have thought Jiang Xin would be scared after hearing her words and would choose to apologize.
Because in her eyes, Jiang Xin is just a penniless orphan, not easy to bully, but if she is really kicked out of the Fu Family, she wouldn’t even have a place to live.
But little did she know, Jiang Xin isn’t afraid of her words at all. Nowadays, if not for the identity reason, Jiang Xin would eagerly move out of the Fu Family.
If Mrs. Fu really used today’s excuse to kick her out of the house.
If the village chief could provide a letter of introduction, she could completely find a guesthouse in town to stay temporarily.
Then wait for the Normal University in the provincial city to start, the family she rented the apartment from moves out, and she can move in directly. Just the thought of it feels wonderful.
Then she could live alone, just the way she likes.
So, Mrs. Fu’s words sounded heavenly in Jiang Xin’s ears!
Therefore, when Mrs. Fu saw Jiang Xin still expressionless after hearing her remarks, she broke down.
She really started to doubt whether Jiang Xin was listening to her words attentively.
Otherwise, how could she remain indifferent after hearing that she might be kicked out?
Originally, people in the village were just watching the spectacle, but then they heard Mrs. Fu say suddenly that if Jiang Xin didn’t apologize, she’d kick Jiang Xin out?
The crowd quieted down instantly, after all, in this day and age, kicking someone out is not a trivial matter.
Besides, everyone understands Jiang Xin’s background. If Mrs. Fu were to actually kick her out, this young girl has nowhere to go.
So, the villagers’ faces became serious. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝘯𝘦𝘵
One by one, they began to turn around and persuaded Mrs. Fu:
"Fu Yu’s mom, let’s not act impulsively, these words are not casually uttered!"
"Even if Jiang Xin made a mistake, isn’t this punishment too severe?"
"Her parents are far away, in this village, she only has Jiang Wan’s family as a relative, and they’ve already had a falling out over the marriage with Fu Yu."
"If you throw her out , where can she go? A young girl alone outside, if something really happens, we’ll feel bad about it, wouldn’t we?"
"Yes, Fu Yu’s mom, let’s consider carefully before acting!"
Mrs. Fu froze, honestly, when she said those words, her mind was a blank.
The words escaped her mouth without thinking, by the time she realized, it had already been heard by everyone, and now she couldn’t take them back.
Mrs. Fu felt incredibly embarrassed, she knows well that kicking someone out isn’t something said lightly.
And anyway, Jiang Xin is part of their family now, if she indeed kicks her out, she wouldn’t be able to explain to her son once he returns.
Moreover, who can understand the frustration in Mrs. Fu’s heart?
She said so many threatening words, and yet in Jiang Xin’s eyes, it seemed she didn’t care at all, not even as worried as the villagers.
It felt like her punches landing on cotton, making her feel powerless.
Mrs. Fu was simply unable to express her bitterness, she wished she hadn’t caused a scene from the start.
It made her lose face, extremely embarrassed.
She wanted Jiang Xin to apologize, but Jiang Xin completely ignored her, what could she do?
Mrs. Fu felt frustrated enough as it was, and the villagers just had to make it worse, causing a commotion.
Originally, the villagers sided with Mrs. Fu, criticizing Jiang Xin.
But now, the trend shifted, the villagers kept advising Mrs. Fu not to act so harshly.
Additionally, some villagers persuaded Jiang Xin to hurry and apologize, so all would be settled.
Time passed by amid the stalemate, the villagers kept urging Jiang Xin to apologize to Mrs. Fu.
Feeling annoyed by the persistence, Jiang Xin thought, apologizing to Mrs. Fu was impossible.
Besides, she hadn’t done anything wrong!
Mrs. Fu approached her to seek presence, nitpicking and bothering her.
Hence, with a cold expression, Jiang Xin said to the villagers urging her to apologize:
"It’s unrealistic for me to apologize."
"I didn’t do anything wrong, why should I apologize to her?"
"I just went out to buy some clothes, what girl buys clothes quickly? I just spent some time, and she accused me of infidelity, having a lover outside, who could stand that?"
Jiang Xin wasn’t exaggerating, she was merely stating the facts.
She recounted all the things Mrs. Fu said to her, letting the villagers hear who really was at fault.
