From Cannon Fodder to '80s Tycoon with My Space Supermarket-Chapter 246 - 181: Divorce (Part 3)

Jiang Xin hurried to say:

"I’ve already eaten outside, just make your own portions, no need to include me."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Xin glanced at the groceries she was holding and handed them to Mrs. Fu:

"I bought some ribs and vegetables for the house. Now that Fu Yu is back, it’s just the right time to improve our meals."

To be honest, before Jiang Xin brought these groceries back, she really didn’t expect her unfortunate husband to return early.

Now, the ribs she brought seem a bit deliberate.

Mrs. Fu was originally worried about what to eat at home, as their family was genuinely very poor these days.

Neither she nor Mr. Fu knew how they got by during this period.

At this moment, having these ribs solved a major problem.

Looking down again, Mrs. Fu couldn’t help but admire Jiang Xin’s thoughtfulness. She not only bought ribs and meat but also rice.

The rice looked translucent and she could tell it was of high quality.

After all, Mrs. Fu had lived most of her life, and she could recognize this.

She immediately felt grateful and said:

"You child, why spend so much money buying these things, just food."

Mrs. Fu actually wanted to say that spending money on food was not worth it, and it should be saved to buy something more practical.

However, after reconsidering, she realized that since Jiang Xin married into their family, they hadn’t given her any money to spend.

Now, Jiang Xin was spending her own money to buy things for the family; what position was she in to criticize Jiang Xin for being extravagant?

So, Mrs. Fu just closed her mouth and went to the kitchen to stew the ribs.

Since her son was home today, she needed to prepare a good meal.

After Mrs. Fu left the room, it settled into a long silence.

Especially between the newlyweds, the atmosphere between the couple was quite awkward.

Jiang Xin thought about it and felt it was better to bring up the divorce sooner, so she directly said:

"Now that the whole family is here, let’s discuss my and Fu Yu’s marriage."

From the moment Jiang Xin entered the room, Fu Yu couldn’t help but gaze at her.

Looking at his wife, who had entered the family not long ago and whom he hadn’t seen for more than half a month, felt unfamiliar.

Moreover, the two never really understood each other, so the unfamiliarity was normal.

When Jiang Xin brought up their marriage, Fu Yu had an intuitive feeling, sensing that Jiang Xin mentioning their marriage at this crucial moment probably meant she wanted a divorce.

He had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, in the next second, Jiang Xin said:

"Fu Yu, let’s divorce."

"Anyway, our being together was never about love, just about so-called responsibility."

"There’s no need for two people who don’t like each other to force themselves together because of certain matters. If we continue like this, we won’t be happy for the rest of our lives."

As soon as Jiang Xin finished speaking, the room fell into prolonged silence.

Mrs. Fu, who was about to start cooking, had just reached the kitchen when she heard Jiang Xin’s words about divorcing their second son.

How could that be!

They had finally seen some hope in their lives, gradually moving in a better direction, and her relationship with Jiang Xin was no longer as tense as before.

If they divorced now, wouldn’t it mean giving no chance to her son at all?

Upon hearing Jiang Xin’s words, Mr. Fu was momentarily stunned. He never expected Jiang Xin genuinely wanted to divorce their son.

Before this, they had heard Jiang Xin frequently mentioning divorce, thinking it was because of the poor relationship between her and Mrs. Fu, leading to major conflicts and wanting to divorce.

But now, clearly, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law issues had already been discussed and smoothed over, why was divorce being mentioned now?

Mr. Fu lowered his head into a moment of silence, quite at a loss.

Having lived for most of his life, this was the first time encountering something like his son and daughter-in-law wanting to divorce.

Moreover, in the minds of their older generation, they believed in the harmony of family prosperity; once married, it was for life. Constantly mentioning divorce was unsuitable.
