From Cannon Fodder to '80s Tycoon with My Space Supermarket-Chapter 231 - 169: Hoping She Gets Divorced (Part 3)

Jiang Xin was genuinely puzzled because, after all, yesterday’s events were already over. So why were these people still standing outside their courtyard, gossiping about something?

Jiang Xin truly couldn’t understand, so she grabbed a neighbor and asked a couple of questions:

"Auntie, what are you all talking about at my doorstep?"

"If I didn’t know better, I’d think something big happened. It looks quite scary."

Before the neighbors spoke, Jiang Xin was guessing in her heart that maybe those people who came late yesterday missed the gossip and wanted to find out what happened after they left the police station.

So, one by one, they came to the doorstep to watch the fun, all to catch some gossip.

Unexpectedly, when they saw her, every single one of them showed a gossiping expression. Once one auntie saw her returning, she got extremely excited, pulled her over, and shouted:

"Oh my, Jiang Xin, you’re back?"

"What have you been doing all day? You know your husband has returned from the sea, and your in-laws are all thrilled."

"It’s just that we’re all curious; we don’t know how much money Fu Yu made this time from his trip."

"By the way, didn’t you say yesterday that once Fu Yu returns, you want a divorce? If he made a lot of money, would you still divorce him then?"

From the villagers’ chattering, Jiang Xin finally understood why they were gathered outside their courtyard. Turns out, it was because her good-for-nothing husband had come home.

It genuinely left her dumbfounded.

She really didn’t know what to do next.

Jiang Xin had thought that when Fu Yu came back, she would immediately divorce him, but now if she did that, she really wouldn’t have a place to live.

In her heart, Jiang Xin began contemplating strategies, thinking about what she should do once she got inside.

If she were to divorce, at least she’d have to expose Jiang Wan’s true face first. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Otherwise, the more than fifty photos she had developed in the studio would have been for nothing.

So for now, she decided not to mention the divorce and to take things one step at a time.

Listening to the neighbors’ gossip — one comment after another — Jiang Xin couldn’t help but chuckle.

She thought these people must be beyond bored to be gossiping here about how much someone else’s son has earned.

What does it have to do with them?

Jiang Xin really didn’t understand!

With the time they spent envying others for making money, they could have been figuring out how to earn a bit more to help their own families, which would be more sensible.

Standing here, envying and being jealous won’t make money fly into their pockets. She even overheard some villagers inquiring about when she would divorce Fu Yu.

If Fu Yu divorced her, wouldn’t he just become a golden bachelor again?

If they had a daughter around Fu Yu’s age, perhaps they might seize this opportunity to slip in.

So, while Mrs. Fu wasn’t exactly a model character, everyone knew what kind of temper Fu Yu had.

If he were to marry a good-natured wife, Mrs. Fu wouldn’t be able to bully her.

Besides, they couldn’t bear to see Fu Yu go. If Fu Yu could become their son-in-law, their daughter’s future would certainly be worry-free in terms of food and clothing.

After all, within ten miles of this village, they couldn’t find another young man as outstanding as Fu Yu.

Even if Mrs. Fu was a difficult mother-in-law, if their daughter had a fiery temper, she wouldn’t suffer any bullying either.

Listening to the villagers’ gossip, Jiang Xin immediately felt a repulsion in her chest. No matter what, even though she really wanted to divorce Fu Yu, she hadn’t yet, and these people dared to say such nasty things right to her face; it was truly disgusting.

Jiang Xin actually wanted to snap at these villagers, but in the end, she thought better of it. It wasn’t worth getting angry.

After all, it wouldn’t be long before she left this village. No need to argue with them at such a crucial moment and affect her mood.

So, after nodding to the auntie who had just asked her the question, she went back to the Fu Family courtyard.
