From Cannon Fodder to '80s Tycoon with My Space Supermarket-Chapter 241 - 180: IOU

It’s just that the guilty look was all too obvious.

Mrs. Fu, as she spoke, her voice trembled.

Anyone could tell she was lying.

Mr. Fu listened, his anger flared up again, this time impossible to suppress.

Fu Yu, however, sat silently aside, after all, no matter what, he was just the junior here.

Now, with Mrs. Fu and Mr. Fu, the old couple arguing, he really didn’t know how to respond.

But, he never thought his mom could be so irrational, using all the years of their savings to support his grandmother’s family. It was truly reckless.

He didn’t know what to say anymore.

As the old couple glared at each other in anger, Fu Yu suddenly felt a headache.

He should think of a way to get back some of the money his mom gave to support his grandmother’s family over the years; they can’t just be taken advantage of like this.

The argument in the room continued, Mrs. Fu’s justification grew weaker, evidently lacking confidence.

She said so many things, just trying to find an excuse, but she didn’t think about it. Such a large sum of money isn’t a trivial amount, not something that can just be spent as if it disappeared.

After listening to Mrs. Fu’s excuses, Mr. Fu was so angry that he just lost it, pointing at Mrs. Fu’s head, he yelled:

"Listen to yourself, all the expenses our family has had over the years, do you have any idea how much money it amounts to?"

"Every day at the table, what are we eating, wild greens and dried sweet potatoes, I’m about to throw up. Every time I ask you to improve our meals, you give me countless excuses."

"Whenever we wanted to buy any big furniture for the house, you would pass it off as needing to save money, and all these years, we’ve lived frugally, yet all the money our son earned has ended up in your mother’s home."

"How did I end up marrying such a foolish woman like you?"

"Our son isn’t wrong, all these years, the money he’s given to the family is roughly around three or four thousand at least. Even if we’ve been frugal, our expenses would barely touch a few hundred, I’ll give you a generous estimate, let’s say we spent a thousand, there should still be two or three thousand left!"

"Don’t tell me you’ve given all that money to support your mother’s family!"

Mr. Fu got angrier the more he spoke, he was already old, and at this moment, his breath was uneven from anger, looking quite frightening. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Fu Yu, seeing this, immediately pulled Mr. Fu aside to calm him down, then turned to Mrs. Fu and said:

"Mom, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but you’ve really been too muddle-headed."

"You have to think clearly, our family’s situation is like this now, regardless, you should also consider us, your own family."

"If I’m not mistaken, the house at grandmother’s place and cousin’s house in town were both funded by you, right?"

"Dad’s right, all these years, our family’s been living frugally and hasn’t spent much, so those thousands of dollars were all given to support uncle and aunt’s family?"

After hearing her son’s words, Mrs. Fu’s eyes flickered, not daring to meet their gaze, feeling extremely guilty.

Her husband she could easily brush off, knowing he was just angry, but eventually, life goes on no matter what.

But regarding her son, Mrs. Fu felt genuinely guilty, knowing that money was hard-earned by him.

How could she bear it, seeing the tone in her son’s questioning, she opened her mouth, and this time, instead of arguing, she said:

"Son, this time, it’s mom’s fault."

"The family’s savings, just like you said, I took it all to help your grandmother’s family."

"Those years, they had a tough time, your younger cousins didn’t have food to eat and your aunt wanted to divorce your uncle because he couldn’t earn money."
