From Cannon Fodder to '80s Tycoon with My Space Supermarket-Chapter 244 - 181: Divorce

Mrs. Fu, reminded by her son, instantly remembered that she was quite unwilling when buying a house for her nephew.

After all, she thought they were rural people and would eventually live in the village, so there was no need to buy a house in town.

Not to mention the high price of houses in town, and if you want to renovate, it also costs a lot of money. Although these days, every household wants to live in an apartment for comfort.

Even so, they had to consider their own family’s financial situation.

The money for buying a house would need at least several thousand yuan. Her maiden family simply didn’t have the means. Although the bride’s family demanded a house be bought in town, it wasn’t strictly necessary. After all, their house in the village had just been built not long ago and was still very new.

Such a large tile-roofed house was enough to accommodate their whole family.

But who would have thought that the bride’s family would be so picky, saying that if they didn’t buy a house in town, the marriage wouldn’t go ahead.

So Mrs. Fu’s mother came to her, hoping she would buy a house for her eldest brother’s child.

Initially, when she heard this unreasonable demand, Mrs. Fu strongly refused. After all, she didn’t even know how her own family would get by.

There had to be a limit to supporting her maiden family.

Some time ago, she had just helped her maiden family build a tile-roofed house, even putting her own family second.

If she were to spend money now to buy a house in town for her nephew, their family savings would be completely depleted.

Both she and Mr. Fu were getting on in years and naturally needed to keep some financial security for themselves.

If, by any chance, they fell ill and didn’t have money, they wouldn’t even be able to go to the hospital, and with their son not at home, they would be totally helpless.

However, Mrs. Fu couldn’t withstand the nagging and sweet-talking from her mother, who promised all sorts of benefits.

She even promised that if Mrs. Fu bought the house for her nephew, they would treat her particularly well in the future.

Furthermore, she brainwashed Mrs. Fu, saying they had few daughters, only her who was studying, and she would definitely fly away someday and wouldn’t be there to take care of her.

But her brother’s family was different. The brother had several daughters who were about the same age as Mrs. Fu’s daughter. In the future, if Mrs. Fu were ever immobilized, these nieces would surely be able to help.

Only by giving can one receive, so Mrs. Fu succumbed under her mother’s coercion and inducement.

In the end, she took out their entire savings, a full three thousand yuan, to buy a house in town for her nephew paid in full.

But thinking about it, Mrs. Fu still felt somewhat unbalanced. After all, her own family was living in a mud house, and now she had emptied all their savings. How would they live in the future?

So she often complained to her mother about her difficulties.

Her mother, a tough bone herself, felt annoyed every time she listened to Mrs. Fu’s complaints, thinking she was just fussing over a little money spent on a house for her grandson. Why did she have to be so stingy every day? It’s just unbecoming of an aunt.

So she waved her hand grandly, instructing Mrs. Fu’s elder brother and sister-in-law to write an IOU for her.

An IOU for exactly three thousand yuan!

Anyway, whether or not it would be repaid in the future was their concern. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

If they didn’t repay, even with the IOU in Mrs. Fu’s hands, there was nothing she could do with them.

Because the IOU was written carelessly, they didn’t take it seriously, so the repayment time was set for three months later.

Because they never intended to repay it at all.

At this moment, prompted by Fu Yu, Mrs. Fu immediately reacted. She hurriedly took out the money box and fished out the IOU that had been prepared long ago.

Truly, ’easy come, easy go.’ With this IOU, if they don’t repay the money, they can directly go to court to make them pay it back.
