Reborn in the 80s and Remarrying an Officer, Let the Ungrateful Cry!

Chapter 49: Chapter 49: The Formidable Mrs. Fu

Mrs. Fu wasn’t the least bit intimidated by him.

"Say what? Don’t you know this is the modern era? We don’t go by the old rules anymore. Young people now have the freedom to marry who they want. Even I, her mother, can’t interfere, let alone you, from the older generation."

"Besides, this marriage was arranged for her by Mingxue’s father back in the day. Of course I have to see it through immediately."

Old Mrs. Fu’s voice shot up sharply. "What? You’re talking nonsense! The second son has been dead for years! How could he have arranged this marriage?"

Mrs. Fu picked at her ear.

"Why are you shouting so loud? Your son arranged it before he died, so what’s the problem? Besides, they’ve already registered the marriage. It doesn’t really matter whether you agree or not."

"And another thing. I’ll ask you one question: are you paying for the dowry or not? If you’re not going to give a single penny, then don’t ever set foot in this house again. From now on, my daughter and I will have nothing more to do with you Fu family. You spend all day, every day, scheming to take advantage of a widow and her orphan child. You’re utterly shameless." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Infuriated, Old Mrs. Fu was about to start cursing—’That damn woman is dreaming! Expecting people our age to cough up money.’

’In her dreams.’

But the old man beside her spoke up before she could:

"Wife of our second son, we’ll pay the money. But you have to at least let us meet the man."

Old Mrs. Fu’s voice was shrill. "No! I’m not paying! A slip of a girl is getting married, why should an old woman like me pay for her? What family pays when their granddaughter gets married?"

"You want me to pay? Fine. Then give us the bride price—"

The eyes of the other Fu family members lit up. ’That’s right, the bride price should go to them.’

Mrs. Fu sneered. ’They’re all so cheap they’d pinch pennies out of shit.’

She didn’t waste any more words on them and just started wailing at the top of her lungs:

"Oh, heavens! Are you going to let us live?! The Fu family has no conscience, they’re black-hearted monsters, bullying a widow and her orphan! This shameless bunch actually wants my daughter’s bride price! Fu Yongjian, come and see this black-hearted family of yours! They don’t want your daughter to have a good life—"

Her wails really did draw out a lot of neighbors.

Instantly, they started pointing and muttering at the Fu family members.

Some even got right in their faces and started cursing the Fu family for being inhuman—how could they demand their own granddaughter’s bride price?

Honestly, if Fu Mingxue’s mother hadn’t been a decent person, she would have taken Fu Mingxue and remarried long ago.

If that had happened, the mother and daughter would have had nothing to do with the Fu family!

How could the Fu family have the nerve to demand Fu Mingxue’s bride price? fгeewebnovёl.com

So shameless.

The chattering grew especially loud.

Nearly everyone was pointing their fingers right at the Fu family as they spoke.

The Fu family: ...?

’What the hell does this have to do with any of them?’

Eldest Fu and Old Man Fu, the two who cared most about face, looked particularly grim.

But Xu Zifeng was still wailing like a banshee, listing all the Fu family’s wrongdoings.

One by one, incident by incident.

If she kept this up, she would probably air all of the Fu family’s dirty laundry.

"Wife of our second son, that’s enough—" Old Man Fu’s face was ashen. He had never been so humiliated.

"Enough? What do you mean, enough? It’s your Fu family that goes too far! I’m making it clear right here, right now: if anyone dares to lay a hand on my daughter’s bride price, I’ll chop that hand right off. Let’s see who dares."

She was sick and tired of all the crap she’d put up with over the years.

Before, for her daughter’s sake and because she was still so young, she was afraid she couldn’t protect her from everything, that this family would find a way to harm her daughter.

But now that her daughter was leaving, she had no such reservations.

Whoever dared to provoke her—she was ready to destroy them.
