From Cannon Fodder to '80s Tycoon with My Space Supermarket-Chapter 151 - 143: Beaten to Death

Chapter 151: Chapter 143: Beaten to Death
After all, it had just rained a little yesterday, so having mud on the ground was completely normal.
Who would have thought that this would give someone evidence to catch her?
Just when everyone was getting impatient, Mrs. Fu finally, reluctantly, took off her shoes.
Mrs. Fu is usually quite lazy and dislikes doing laundry and cleaning up.
So, when she took off her shoes and put them in front of everyone, she felt somewhat embarrassed.
The shoes were not only covered in mud but were also so dirty they looked as if they’d been beaten with iron, not to mention how filthy they were.
The stink could be smelled from far away.
The original color of the blue fabric was no longer visible.
Jiang Xin looked disgusted, thinking that if she tried to scrub them, the water would probably turn black.
When the villagers saw the shoes Mrs. Fu took off, they all showed looks of disdain.
No one expected that at her age, Mrs. Fu would be so careless about hygiene, wearing such filthy shoes, and not bothering to clean them. They wondered how she managed all these years.
However, from outward appearances, they could all tell.
Mrs. Fu’s house was not particularly tidy, which might be because she was old and had become lazy.
But now, they had no time to concern themselves with whether Mrs. Fu’s shoes were dirty.
The main thing now was to match the pattern on the soles of Mrs. Fu’s newly taken-off shoes with the one on the windowsill.
If they matched, it would prove that the thief was indeed her.
This would certainly stir up public outrage.
So, even with their disdain, they couldn’t suppress their gossiping nature.
Some villagers, not afraid of dirt, immediately picked up Mrs. Fu’s shoes, turned them over, and everyone saw the pattern on the soles.
To be honest, during this time, people didn’t wear very different clothes, and especially these shoes were the most common cloth shoes from the supply store, with the same patterned soles, worn by many people.
So, they all thought that identifying Mrs. Fu as the thief based on the shoe soles might be a bit challenging.
But at this moment, they couldn’t think too much.
There was some resentment in their hearts because ever since yesterday, Mrs. Fu had been toying with them.
Now, they had no sympathy left, only wanting to quickly clarify whether those few untagged dresses of Jiang Xin’s were stolen by Mrs. Fu.
If so, then Mrs. Fu’s actions were extremely detestable.
No one likes a mother-in-law who doesn’t respect boundaries.
Even though she is Jiang Xin’s mother-in-law, she has no right to take people’s things without consent, especially such expensive dresses!
Really, what was she thinking?
After turning over the shoe soles, the villagers, police, and Jiang Xin all saw the pattern clearly.
As expected, the pattern on them was exactly the same as the footprint on the windowsill.
Immediately, when the villagers looked at Mrs. Fu, their gazes became quite meaningful.
"Now I understand why she was quick to blame the store clerk. Turns out the real thief was herself all along!"
"Truly, you can know a person’s face but not their heart. We were nearly deceived by her!"
"Fu Yu’s mom, you’ve really lost your mind. At your age, how can you still engage in such sneaky behavior?"
"Yes, yes, even if Jiang Xin is your daughter-in-law, you can’t just take her clothes without permission!"
"It’s bad enough to argue at home, but now you’re climbing through windows and searching people’s rooms. Are you not just acting like a thief?"
"No wonder Jiang Xin locks her room every time she goes out. It turns out someone goes through her things."
The villagers’ remarks were like stabs to Mrs. Fu’s heart.
