Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: High IQ, Low EQ

Even if Mrs. Fu dislikes her, that doesn't change the fact that she's now a daughter-in-law of the Fu Family.

A couple is a single entity, Fu Yu's assets are hers, and naturally, her belongings should also include a share for Fu Yu.

She and Fu Yu have a marriage certificate, so their relationship is legally recognized.

Therefore, the items sent by her parents are legally shared by them as a couple.

Mrs. Fu seemingly treats Jiang Wan like her own daughter.

However, all of this is based on Jiang Wan not harming the interests of the Fu Family Member.

The money order and ration tickets sent to Jiang Wan by her parents are not a small amount.

If Jiang Wan comes to the Fu Family asking Jiang Xin for money and Fu Yu's parents find out, they certainly won't agree.

After all, real money and silver are much more tangible than an outsider like Jiang Wan.

Just ask, who would allow the fat meat at the mouth to be taken by someone else?

Otherwise, how could one say Jiang Wan is foolish!

She doesn't even have this much sense, yet claims herself to be a top student?

High IQ but lacking emotional intelligence, it's truly concerning!

There were hurried footsteps in the courtyard outside.

In addition, there was the voice of Fu Yu's mother calling out:

"Oh dear, child's dad, does it sound like there's a fight in the house?"

"Let's quickly go in and check, don't let Xiao Wan suffer!"

It's summer now.

The weather is hot, so the windows and doors are wide open.

Therefore, the commotion inside the house could be heard clearly from the courtyard.

Since Jiang Wan and Jiang Xin went into the room, Fu Yu's parents had been paying attention to the movements inside.

Afraid they would start an argument.

Ten minutes ago, they had just witnessed Jiang Xin's fierce side.

If that brick had really hit Mrs. Fu earlier, Mrs. Fu might now be bleeding with a cracked head.

Even though some time had passed, the old couple was still apprehensive.

Jiang Wan had always been in their hearts, like a delicate flower.

Naturally, they worried Jiang Wan would be bullied by Jiang Xin.

Jiang Wan thought Jiang Xin had been intimidated when Jiang Xin stayed silent after she spoke.

Then hearing Fu Yu's parents speaking outside made her even more confident.

So, she arrogantly said to Jiang Xin:

"You heard the commotion outside, right? There's still time for you to beg me."

"I'll give you a chance, if you hand over the money and ration tickets now, I won't tell on you when Fu Yu's parents come in."

"I'll forgive that slap you gave me just now."

"But if you don't go along with me, then don't blame me for being rude and letting Fu Yu's parents deal with you!"

"Judging by how much they dislike you, your days in the Fu Family will only become tougher!"

Confident, Jiang Wan thought Jiang Xin would obediently hand over the money and ration tickets after hearing this.

Jiang Xin's parents were far away in the province, even if they knew Jiang Xin was bullied, they couldn't help.

So, in the Fu Family, Jiang Xin would only be bullied!

Jiang Wan's smug face was clearly seen by Jiang Xin.

Listening to Jiang Wan's threats, Jiang Xin sneered and said mockingly:

"Go ahead, if you dare, go out and tell them now!"

"Tell Fu Yu's parents you came asking me for money and see if they'll side with you or me?"

"I advise you not to forget, I'm the daughter-in-law of the Fu Family now, my money is the Fu Family's money."

"Although Fu Yu's parents favor you on the surface, if you touch their interests, it's different."

"Can you guarantee that after knowing the reason, they'll let you continue asking me for money?"

The footsteps outside sounded closer, as if Fu Yu's parents were about to push the door open.

Jiang Wan's previously smug smile instantly froze.

Her smile became stiff, clearly awakened by Jiang Xin's words.

She panicked, her face slightly pale.

Realizing she couldn't intimidate Jiang Xin, she began thinking about how to explain when Fu Yu's parents came in.

And if she couldn't get the money and ticket, how to explain when she got home.

Today's unexpected turn of events was beyond her expectations.

Before coming to the Fu Family, she hadn't considered that she wouldn't get the money!

Though the days in Jiang Wan's family were quite good, they were a bit wealthier in the village.

However, she had an older brother who was at the age to marry.

Most of the family savings were spent on his marriage, so the remaining savings were nearly depleted.

They spend lavishly without knowing thrift.

Money in hand was spent quickly, making their days financially tight.

If not for the ration tickets sent by Jiang Xin's parents, her family would be hungry now.

Looking at the month passing by, last month's tickets sent by Jiang Xin's parents are already exhausted.

Therefore, Jiang Wan's parents urged her to come to the Fu Family asking Jiang Xin for money.

But they hadn't expected Jiang Xin was no longer the same Jiang Xin as before.

Jiang Wan's scalp tingled, having no mind to worry about what to explain at home.

The imminent issue was dealing with Fu Yu's parents about to come in.

The footsteps sounded like a death knell, stirring panic in her heart.

If Jiang Xin told Fu Yu's parents that she came asking for money, it would be disastrous.

In the future, it would be difficult for her to even enter the Fu Family.

"I don't want your ration tickets and money anymore!"

"Ha, stingy; with the little money your parents sent, what's it good for, forgetting about it is fine!"

"Truly a family of misers!"

Jiang Wan knew she wouldn't get the ration tickets and money from Jiang Xin.

But unwilling, though she followed the steps down, her words were still unpleasant.

Though conceding, her words twisted the taste.

Really unappealing!

Seeing Jiang Wan sweating in anxiety, Jiang Xin's mouth curved slightly.

Then, she said something adding fuel to the fire:

"Did I really seduce him while drunk, like everyone saw?"

"I think you, cousin, should understand this very well."
