From Cannon Fodder to '80s Tycoon with My Space Supermarket-Chapter 233 - 170: Building a New House

Presumably, something must have happened in all of this.

When he returned, passing through the village entrance, there were quite a few villagers around. From their discussions, he could vaguely sense that something must have happened at home during these days. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Otherwise, the villagers wouldn’t be looking at him with such strange eyes.

However, when he inquired about it, seeing his parents’ evasive reluctance to say more, he realized he’s unlikely to get anything out of them.

So, Fu Yu could only wait for Jiang Xin to come back. If there were any misunderstandings, they could be clarified as soon as possible.

Moreover, he understood well that since the bride at the wedding had changed, his parents must be displeased with Jiang Xin. After all, Mrs. Fu’s attitude was quite clear at the wedding.

Especially when comparing the two daughters-in-law, Jiang Wan overwhelmingly surpassed Jiang Xin in every way.

The family almost had a college-educated daughter-in-law, who was about to marry into the family, but it was all disrupted single-handedly by Jiang Xin.

How could Mrs. Fu not harbor resentment in her heart?

Especially since he hastily went out to sea this time; he left immediately after the wedding without any time to get involved in the mother-in-law versus daughter-in-law conflict or clarify the misunderstandings.

Given his mother’s personality, she probably didn’t make things easy for Jiang Xin during the time he wasn’t home.

Fu Yu suddenly felt a pang of worry, unsure how he should mediate the family’s conflicts when Jiang Xin returned home later.

This was truly a difficult problem.

Although he could go out to sea to earn money, when it came to family conflicts, he was really helpless. He had never resolved this kind of problem in all these years, and he was encountering it for the first time.

Fu Yu drifted in thought as time ticked away. He didn’t know how much time had passed while listening to his parents’ casual inquiries about what had happened during his time at sea, whether he got hurt, and so on.

He responded one sentence at a time, occasionally glancing at the clock on the wall.

At the same time, he swept his gaze over the house’s decoration and thought the old house was too rundown. Their house didn’t even have electric lights. For all the money he earned over the years, he sent some home from time to time. They should at least have enough to build a house.

Thus, Fu Yu began to have other thoughts about building a new house for the family.

This time, coming back from the sea, he made quite a lot of money. Including what he earned before, it’s probably a few hundred yuan.

Now, if they were to build a house, there might even be some money left over.

At that time, they could buy some new furniture for the house.

While pondering, Fu Yu looked at the old furniture in the house.

It was really too rundown. Forget about everything else, for now, the room where the three of them were was the family’s main room.

It’s specially used for receiving guests daily.

Quite similar to a modern living room, but at this moment, the room served as their kitchen and dining room.

The old cabinets were in a terrible state, having been maintained and repaired countless times over the years. The door handles were already broken beyond recognition.

The wood showed signs of decay, and the wooden dining table had legs that had been propped up countless times yet still were uneven.

In the future, they should all be replaced with new ones.

After all, it’s not like before. Now that he was married, just looking at Jiang Xin made it apparent she was the kind of pampered girl who hadn’t faced hardship.

He couldn’t let a young lady suffer just because she married into his family.

Furthermore, he had heard in the village that Jiang Xin’s family came from the provincial capital, where the living conditions were undoubtedly better than this rundown village.
