From Cannon Fodder to '80s Tycoon with My Space Supermarket-Chapter 232 - 170: Building a New House

As soon as she stepped into the yard, Jiang Xin really felt a bit nervous, unsure of what to do next.

In her mind, she didn’t have the slightest impression of this husband she got on the cheap.

Once inside the house, how should she bring up the topic of divorce with Fu Yu?

Jiang Xin practically forced herself to step inside, where Fu Yu’s family of three was exchanging pleasantries.

Their son had been away for almost more than half a month, as the original plan for this sea trip was that he’d be back in around a month.

Unexpectedly, Fu Yu returned much earlier than the agreed time.

Jiang Xin was also a bit surprised, not expecting him to come back so early.

Just as she stepped through the door, she heard the voices inside. Mrs. Fu was pulling Fu Yu’s arm, fussing over him with great concern.

To be honest, it’s understandable. After all, every mother would feel nervous if her son was away for so long.

Moreover, going out to sea is considered dangerous during this era, 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

If something were to go wrong at sea, there would be no way to help oneself.

Therefore, although their son earns a lot, both Mrs. Fu and Mr. Fu never really approved of his job, hoping he could switch to a safer one, as long as it earns enough money.

They’re not a family that requires extravagant spending. Earning a little is enough for the family to live on; there’s no need to take such risks for more money.

No matter how much they persuaded him, Fu Yu wouldn’t listen. In his heart, he believed that young people should take on challenges.

Make the most out of youth, earn enough for the future, and save up for security.

Besides, he didn’t think that going out to sea was as dangerous as his parents described.

Moreover, their house hadn’t been built yet, and he’d just gotten married. They’ll need money for many things in the future.

Not only does this family need money, but his and Jiang Xin’s future household will also require a lot of money and effort.

After all, living life is a long journey; many things need to be adjusted from the start.

Fu Yu had been back for a while. Usually, he’d send a telegraph to the family if he were coming home.

But this time, some sudden minor mishap occurred. Fortunately, the sea trip was quite fruitful, so they didn’t end up losing money.

They even made a small profit.

So, he returned early with his mentor, without informing the family.

He wanted to give them a surprise,

Mr. and Mrs. Fu’s faces were filled with joy when they saw him return.

The family reunion was nothing short of delightful.

Except, he didn’t see that young wife he had just married a few days ago.

Noticing this, Fu Yu naturally asked and learned from Mrs. Fu that Jiang Xin had gone to town to take care of some matters.

He didn’t ask further, assuming she was bound to return once done with her tasks in town.

Moreover, when he inquired with his parents about Jiang Xin’s purpose in town, Mrs. Fu gave vague and unclear responses.

Fu Yu realized his parents probably didn’t know the details either, so pursuing the question wouldn’t yield any answers. He might as well wait until she returned to ask.

Truth be told, he hadn’t figured out a way to face this wife of his.

After all, they didn’t know each other at all; the marriage was like ducks being forced onto a shelf.

Interactions would probably be awkward.

Thinking about it gave him a headache.

Fu Yu didn’t really understand what kind of person Jiang Xin was, so he asked his parents how they got along during his absence.

He noticed his parents looked extremely uneasy.

Fu Yu was smart; he grasped the situation right away, realizing that these past days, his parents and the new daughter-in-law probably didn’t get along well. Otherwise, when he asked about what happened during his absence, why would his parents look so grim?
