Chapter 124: Is Fu’s Mother Really That Impressive?

When Fu Mingxue got home, Qin’s mother still hadn’t left.

“Mingxue, didn’t you go out to take care of something? Why are you back so soon?”

“Mom, I still need to go out again.”

Just then, the sound of a car horn came from outside.

Qin’s mother thought it was Qin Wenshu coming to pick her up.

“That boy, didn’t I tell him not to bother coming? Why did he drive over again?”

“Mingxue, I’ll get going then.”

“Mom, that car outside might not be Qin Wenshu. It could be here for me.”

After all, if it were Qin Wenshu, he would have come up and knocked by now.

At that moment, there was a knock at the door.

“I’ll go see who it is.” Qin’s mother went to open the door.

When she saw a young security guard, she was a bit surprised. “Who are you looking for?”

“Hello, I’m here to pick up Comrade Fu Mingxue.”

Qin’s mother: …?

He really was here to pick up her daughter-in-law.

What’s going on?

While she was still puzzled, Fu Mingxue walked over and said to the guard, “I’m Fu Mingxue. Could you please wait for about ten minutes?”

The guard immediately replied, “Of course. I’ll wait outside.”

Fu Mingxue nodded. “Thank you!”

Just then, Fu’s mother appeared, holding a child. “What’s going on, girl?”

Fu Mingxue explained to the two mothers, “Mom, I have to go work at the research institute for three or four days. I have to leave now, and I’ll be eating and staying at the institute during that time.”

Both mothers looked completely confused.

Work at a research institute?

Wasn’t she supposed to be going to school?

“Girl, aren’t you about to start university? Why are you going to work now?” Fu’s mother was especially baffled. “You’re not going to university anymore?”

Fu Mingxue couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time.

“Mom, it’s just for three days. I’m still going to university. Anyway, someone’s waiting outside, so I’ll go pack some clothes. And I’ll have to trouble you to look after the two kids at home.”

“Don’t worry about the kids. Go pack your things,” Fu’s mother said, even though she didn’t really understand what was going on.

But she still trusted her daughter.

After all, you could question her daughter’s life skills, but never her brains when it came to studying.

As long as she could still go to university, that was all that mattered.

Fu Mingxue quickly packed a change of clothes.

She couldn’t put these in her space, so she just wrapped them up in a cloth bundle.

When she came out, she handed her mother five hundred yuan. “Mom, take this money. Also, the formula for the two kids is in the cupboard in the main room.”

Fu’s mother replied right away, “Okay, I got it. Hurry up and go, don’t keep the comrade waiting.”

Fu Mingxue said goodbye to her mother-in-law as well, then headed out.

The two mothers watched her get in the car and leave, then looked at each other in confusion.

“In-law, what’s going on? How did going to school turn into going to work?”

When it came to worldly experience, Fu’s mother, who had never left the small town, was no match for Qin’s mother.

“The research institute is a very prestigious place. Our Mingxue is really impressive.”

After all, they even sent a car to pick her up. That just showed how capable her daughter-in-law was.

Besides, she’d already heard from that young man surnamed Yan that her daughter-in-law had done extremely well on the college entrance exam.

Fu’s mother: ?…

Is my daughter really that impressive?

“In-law, I’ll have to trouble you to look after the kids. If it’s too much, I can take one with me!”

As soon as Fu’s mother heard that, she immediately refused. “No need, the two kids are always together. If you separate them, they’ll definitely fuss. Besides, they’re very well-behaved. I can handle them on my own, no problem. Don’t worry.”
