Chapter 107: When Was the Mission Completed?

At that moment, Fu’s mother suddenly remembered something.

“Mingxue, I’m not going to work anymore. I’ll stay home and look after the kids for you two.”

This was the decision she made after two days of taking care of the children.

Her daughter needed to go to school, and her son-in-law was so busy with work.

Rather than hiring someone else to watch the kids, wouldn’t it be better if she did it herself?

At least she could be at ease.

And it would let her daughter and son-in-law focus on their own things.

Fu Mingxue was a little shocked when she heard this. “Mom, why would you think that? Don’t you like working?”

“Isn’t looking after the kids also work? Besides, before, I hadn’t seen the kids and didn’t think much of it. But now it’s different. The two of them are so little—I have to take care of them.”

“Aren’t I their real grandma? Besides, even if I don’t work, you two would have to support me anyway, right?”

Fu Mingxue quickly said, “Mom, I’m just worried you might not be able to handle it alone.”

“They can be a handful sometimes, but they’re both really well-behaved. I can manage on my own. There’s no need to waste money hiring someone else.”

“The money I save for you is basically money I’ve earned, isn’t it?”

It all worked out, really.

Besides, even if she went to work, wouldn’t her salary end up going to her daughter anyway?

Fu Mingxue didn’t mention anything about paying her mom a salary.

She knew if she brought it up, she’d definitely get scolded.

“Mom, as long as you’re sure. Honestly, staying at home is actually harder than going to work—in my opinion, it’d be better if you just went to work.”

Taking care of kids isn’t easy.

It takes a lot of energy and attention.

You also have to cook three meals a day.

Compared to that, going to work is much easier.

“Alright, enough. Don’t try to talk me out of it. We’ll do it this way for now! Since your husband isn’t around, I’m the best person to look after the kids. By the way, when do you have to report to school?”

“The sixteenth.”

“Oh, there’s still a few days! That’s good. You can use this time to get to know the kids better.”

Fu Mingxue remembered she had something to do in the afternoon, so she decided to check on the kids now.

“Mom, I’m going to see them.”

And maybe teach them to call her “Mama”—she still hadn’t completed that task yet.

She glanced into her space—and suddenly her eyes widened.

Wait a minute.

Why does it show the mission as completed?

A thousand yuan had been credited to her account.

She’d also received five cans of formula.

And three bolts of fabric in different colors.

Goodness, when did she complete the mission? How did it happen?

“Mom, Mom—did the kids start talking last night?”

Fu’s mother saw her shouting and thought something had happened.

But when she heard what it was, she rolled her eyes. “Why are you yelling so loud? There are kids in the house, don’t scare them.”

“Mom, did the kids talk last night?”

“They called me ‘Grandma’—does that count?”

Fu Mingxue: “Of course that counts. Wait, they called you ‘Grandma’?”

“Yeah! Both of them did last night.” If the kids hadn’t called her that, she might not have made up her mind so firmly today.

Fu Mingxue was jealous.

Why didn’t they call her “Mama” first?

Trying to hide her jealousy, she said, “—I’m going to see them.”

She went to her mom’s west wing room.

Just in time to see the two kids already awake, eyes wide open.

She hurried over. “Sweethearts, come here, say ‘Mama, ma, ma—’”

The twins’ eyes sparkled, but they just stared at her.

Fu Mingxue: …?

Why the double standard?

Oh well, it didn’t matter if they didn’t say it—she’d already gotten her reward.

“Come on, Mama will help you get dressed, and then we’ll have some formula—” She’d been rewarded with five cans; there was no way they’d finish it all."
