Married at First Sight Chapter 5243
“Your mother grew up in a pretty good environment. She just had it too easy, so she’s not very assertive and values family too much, making her easily manipulated by your uncles and aunts.”
“But she loves you the most. She sacrificed a lot for you, for your father, and for our Fu family. You need to understand your mother. After Grandpa is gone, it’ll just be you and your mother. No matter what your mother does, don’t hold it against her.”
“The real power in our family is in your hands anyway. Your mother only has a little money. Even if your uncles and aunts scheme, they can only get a small amount from her. Of course, it would be even better if you could make your mother distrust those relatives and completely wake up to the truth.”
Chairman Fu also knew that his daughter-in-law wasn’t assertive enough, and that his in-laws wanted to control the Fu family through her.
It was a little better when his in-laws were alive; it wasn’t so obvious.
After they passed away, his daughter-in-law’s siblings changed, starting to scheme against the Fu family, intending to seize everything.
He’s still alive, and he’s still the one in charge of the family. They don’t dare to do it openly, but privately they’ve been constantly instigating their daughter-in-law to demand control of the household and hoping he’ll transfer his company shares to her name.
They’ve even been encouraging her to say that his short-lived son also had shares in the company,
and since he’s gone, his inheritance should belong to her. Chairman Fu told his daughter-in-law that he, as her father, wouldn’t take his son’s inheritance; he gave her his share, and his and his granddaughter’s share went entirely to her.
The house, car, stocks, and savings were all given to her, and are in her name.
His daughter-in-law still loves her daughter and has also given up inheriting her deceased father’s estate, transferring her rightful share to her daughter’s name.
Because of this, her siblings have often scolded her for being foolish, saying she didn’t know how to save some money for herself, and that if her daughter became unfilial in her old age, she wouldn’t even have a place to live.
The management of the Fu family’s inner quarters is handled by Chairman Fu, who entrusts it to his daughter-in-law. He has to manage the company’s affairs and simply doesn’t have the energy to manage household matters.
His daughter-in-law allows her siblings to come to the house and take advantage of her, taking whatever good things they see. Chairman Fu has told his daughter-in-law before, but she can’t change her easily influenced nature.
He could only lock away his valuable possessions, such as his collection of priceless antiques, which he kept locked in his storage room. He had already made a will leaving those antiques to his granddaughter.
He was truly worried about his daughter-in-law.
Fortunately, Wan Ning was a strong-willed woman and wasn’t swayed by her maternal relatives’ attempts to manipulate her with kinship.
Fu Wan Ning sighed, “Grandpa, I know. My mother’s personality is set in stone; it’s impossible to change.”
“I don’t expect her to change either. I just hope she doesn’t keep telling me how hard my cousins have it, or asking me to arrange high-paying, easy jobs for them.”
“My uncle’s company has been declining in recent years, while our Fu family is thriving. They’re just eyeing the Fu family’s success.”
Fu Wan Ning saw through it all.
Her uncle’s family was declining while her family was thriving; they were driven by both greed and jealousy.
“My mother only sees the hardships her nieces and nephews have endured, but she doesn’t see the hardships her daughter, Fu Wanning, has faced. I have it much harder than them; they have siblings to talk to, but I’m all alone.”
“That’s just human nature. Grandpa believes you can protect our Fu family. If you can find a good man to marry into the family and have two or three children, Grandpa will be even happier.”
Fu Wanning said, “Grandpa, with our family’s background and me being an only child, do you think I can find a man who truly loves me?”
“They’re all after our family’s money. Even if their family background is comparable to ours, they’re all plotting to exploit us.”
Chairman Fu was speechless for a moment.
