From Cannon Fodder to '80s Tycoon with My Space Supermarket-Chapter 240 - 179: Quibbling

Fu Yu hesitated a bit in his movements, he looked up at Mrs. Fu and saw that she was trembling uncontrollably, clearly frightened.

Fu Yu’s mind instantly became clear, estimating that the suspicions he and Mr. Fu had were all true.

Mr. Fu understood at that moment as well.

His heart instantly filled with anger, his temper flared up, and he was so mad he was blowing his beard and glaring.

Mr. Fu simply couldn’t stand it anymore, he never expected his foolish wife to do such a stupid thing.

Thinking about how her family had treated her all these years, had she still not seen through their true colors? It’s truly disheartening.

But, the money box hadn’t been opened yet, and seeing his second son’s hesitant appearance, Mr. Fu stood up directly from his chair, pointed at the money box, and said to his second son:

"Second son, hurry up today and open this money box for me; I really want to see how much savings there are inside."

"Our family should have deep reserves, but if it’s all gone..."

After saying half of his sentence, Mr. Fu paused his tone and turned to look at his wife, hoping she would give him an explanation.

If there’s no reasonable explanation, he won’t hesitate to turn his back on her after all these years.

Their son worked hard outside to earn money and support the family, every penny he earned was hard-earned money, and they as parents were reluctant to eat, wear or use it.

They endured hard days for years.

If his foolish old wife really used money to help her family, he would cough blood from anger.

There’s no reason to take such a large sum of money to benefit outsiders; he’s definitely going to her family to create a big scene and get all their money back.

Putting other issues aside, he still cares about his son.

If the money his foolish old wife took to help her family was earned by herself, then surely he wouldn’t say anything much.

But the problem is, the money Mrs. Fu used to help her family all these years was earned by their son, they don’t have the right to spend their son’s hard-earned money, moreover, the money of their second son has always been kept by them for safekeeping.

What right do they have to touch someone else’s money?

Using his son’s money to support her brother’s family is truly unreasonable.

After listening to his father’s words, Fu Yu silently opened the money box containing the money.

Only to see Mr. Fu staring unblinkingly at the money box, and when it was opened, a pile of loose bills were scattered, all in small denominations.

Sparsely scattered, looking quite a lot, but in reality, altogether it really was less than fifty yuan.

Mr. Fu counted those bills one by one, and the total amount added up to just forty-eight yuan and two hundredths.

This was all of their family’s assets.

Mr. Fu got so angry that his eyes turned red, he couldn’t stand being bullied by his wife all these years.

But if he’s to endure this humiliation in this matter, then he’s truly failing as a man.

He immediately shouted aloud, yelling at Mrs. Fu:

"You better give me a reasonable explanation, why is our family’s savings just down to fifty yuan?"

Upon hearing her husband’s words, Mrs. Fu’s eyes moved slightly, contemplating how to explain herself.

She combined all the major expenses her family had over these years and furrowed her brow in the end, discovering that the money spent on her own family over these years probably wasn’t even two hundred yuan.

How else to explain the missing thousands of yuan? It simply couldn’t be explained, she didn’t even have a lie to make up.

So, after moving her lips, Mrs. Fu didn’t utter a single word, clearly admitting by default.

But regardless, she felt she still had to say a few words, so she explained:

"Our second son earns a lot of money, indeed, but our family’s expenses have been no less over these years."

"Living life, there are many places to spend money, you’re a big man who doesn’t manage households, so you don’t know how expensive the cost of everyday items and materials is, everything we eat, use, and wear in our family costs money."

"This money was spent away long ago during daily life; now, indeed there are only these fifty yuan left at home."

Mrs. Fu was still desperately trying to argue for herself.
