Thank you, Wendy and Marina for this interesting conversation. ;-))

As it happens / Actually / As a matter of fact - you would use this phrase to introduce something that is rather surprising and I don't think it is surprising to Frédéric that they don't have a lot of money.
I would still tend to 'It's just that' as being a better expression of the feeling here.

Yes, closer. What about : As it happens... . ?

Hello France, from an English perspective, the sense would be expressed better with:
Delphine - It's just that . . . we don't have much money.
