Reborn in the 1980s, remarried and followed a soldier, the ungrateful wretch cried with regret.

Chapter 17 So you guys aren't deaf or blind after all.
Fu Mingxue's face darkened.

She sneered, "You came pretty fast."

Just as he was about to open the door to give the old woman a piece of his mind, Fu's mother rushed out of the small kitchen.

"You go back, I'll go and greet the old lady."

“Mom—” Fu Mingxue disagreed.

She knew all too well how difficult this old woman could be.

"Go inside." Madam Fu's voice became stern.

It's obvious she doesn't want her daughter to face the old woman directly.

Fu Mingxue could only reluctantly go inside.

After seeing her enter the house, Fu's mother felt relieved and went to open the door.

In fact, her thoughts were very simple—her daughter was about to go to college, and she couldn't let this family get involved, nor could she let them have the opportunity to sue her for being unfilial.

When I opened the door, I saw the old woman and her cunning sister-in-law.

As soon as they came over, I knew they were up to no good.

Grandma Fu glared at Fu's mother with dissatisfaction, "Second son's wife, why are you only opening the door now?" She had been shouting for so long that her voice was practically steaming.

Not only that, even her experienced hands hurt from patting.

Mrs. Fu was also annoyed, "Why did you come here?"

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Fu immediately glared at them. "My granddaughter got into university, such a joyous occasion! I've been waiting at home for ages, and none of you have come to share the good news. What, now that she's in university, you don't recognize us old folks anymore?"

Mrs. Fu retorted with a cold laugh. "Looks like you're not deaf or blind! In that case, why didn't you, her grandparents, uncles, and other relatives, come to her aid when your granddaughter was pushed into the river and almost had her university acceptance letter stolen?"

"There are plenty of people in the Fu family who know about this, but people who don't would think that the entire Fu family is dead! For such a big event, not a single one of them has come to help."

"You, you—who are you calling dead?" Old Mrs. Fu was so angry that her face turned red.

Sister-in-law Fu, who was standing behind her, was also quite angry at these words.

Mrs. Fu rolled her eyes. "Why are you so bothered? I was just using an analogy. Besides, was what I said false? It was such a big deal, and you all pretended to be deaf and dumb, so why are you here now?"

Grandma Fu was so angry she nearly fell backward.

This kind of daughter-in-law—we shouldn't have married her in the first place.

Seeing her arrogant attitude, Sister-in-law Fu simply stood up.

"—Second sister-in-law, what you're saying isn't quite right. Our two families don't live close by. If something happened to you, you should have told us. We're all family, we would have come to help. At the very least, you could have sent someone else to call us! Now, it's our fault."

"Ha, it's just a few steps, can't you hear us? People who live farther away than you all know, do we have to beg you three or four times before you agree? Alright, I knew you didn't consider us part of the Fu family, stop whining and making this up. Tell me, what's the matter?"

Normally, Grandma Fu would definitely have yelled back.

But remembering the purpose of his visit, he immediately suppressed his anger.

“The Bai family paid you 800, right? Give me 500. Your nephew is getting married next month and doesn’t have any money. As his aunt, you should pay for it.”

"Besides, your family has no sons. When you die and have to smash the pot, won't my eldest grandson be the one to take care of you? And when you're old and need care in your old age, won't you rely on your nephew?"

Sister-in-law Fu's eyes lit up, and she smiled broadly, "Second sister-in-law, from now on, my son will be your son, and he will take good care of you."
