Chapter 118: Then She’ll Have to Go Back by Herself

When Lan Mingxuan got home, she told the whole story.

The Lan mother and daughter were furious when they heard it.

“Qin Wenying really said that?” Mrs. Lan’s face was dark with anger.

Lan Mingxuan nodded.

“You know what Qin Wenying’s like—I just had the bad luck to run into her—”

“That wretched woman! She’s already so old and still can’t get married, and she still has the nerve to meddle in her sister-in-law’s business?”

Mrs. Lan was practically beside herself with rage.

She’d never seen such an overbearing sister-in-law.

“And she dares to talk like that? What, is the Qin family run by an old maid who can’t even get married?”

She’s well over twenty and still not married—does she plan to stay at her parents’ home for the rest of her life?

Lan Qingman’s eyes were red with anger. “Qin Wenying—who does she think she is? I’m going back to the Qin house right now. I want her to say it to my face—”

Mrs. Lan immediately said, “That’s right, make her apologize! You’re her sister-in-law, how can she show you no respect at all? Don’t bother packing, just go back—”

Lan Qingman couldn’t wait another second. Fuming, she stormed off toward the Qin house—

Liu Ya: ? …

Well! The big Buddha is finally gone.

——

Lan Qingman, still burning with anger, returned to the Qin house.

But the moment she saw Qin Wenying sitting in the living room chatting with the old master, all her rage vanished in an instant.

“Grandpa—”

Old Master Qin looked at her and said blandly, “Good, you’re back.”

Lan Qingman: …?

What’s good about it?

This time—she’d lost all face, inside and out.

If she hadn’t seen her sister-in-law, it would’ve been fine.

But now that she had—she was so cowed she couldn’t even bring herself to question her.

“I’m going upstairs to check on the kids—”

She hurriedly ran upstairs.

Qin Wenying looked at her shrinking back and couldn’t help but sneer.

With that little courage—why does she keep stirring up trouble?

Wouldn’t it be better to just live quietly?

Old Master Qin didn’t bother with his granddaughter-in-law’s business. He turned to his granddaughter. “When are you going back to the army?”

Qin Wenying: “I’m leaving tomorrow.”

“Be careful,” Old Master Qin said. He liked this granddaughter best.

Even when she said she didn’t want to get married, he never pressured her.

If she meets the right person, fine. If not, that’s fine too. His granddaughter is wonderful—she deserves the best.

Besides, he didn’t believe for a second that his granddaughter couldn’t find a husband.

——

In the blink of an eye, it was time for Fu Mingxue to register at school.

She’d spent a lot of money during this period.

Her savings were gone.

She’d even dipped into the three thousand yuan in red envelopes she’d received at her wedding.

It wasn’t just burning through money—it was burning through her life.

Fortunately, the results were good. She’d pretty much mastered the whole book—after all, she had a photographic memory and read quickly.

And she’d already formed some initial ideas.

Anything produced by the system was bound to be top-notch.

This book even included the current state of existing engines.

That saved her the trouble of looking up information elsewhere—after all, there was some data she wouldn’t even have access to.

Ever since Fu’s mother found out her daughter was finally going to register at the university today, she’d been so excited she didn’t sleep a wink last night.

“Sweetie, do you want me to go with you?”

“Sure, Mom! Let’s go together. Bring the kids too, so they can experience the university atmosphere.”

Let them fall in love with learning.

With the ‘Tiger Mom’ system, she had to push them to earn rewards.

After all, she was really broke now!

She was almost out of money.

So, everyone had to hustle.

The twins suddenly felt a chill, but they were too little to express it—

After her daughter agreed, Fu’s mother hesitated. “Is… is it okay for me to go?”

She was from the countryside, and her clothes were old-fashioned—would people look down on her daughter for having such an unpresentable mother?"
