Chapter 127: She Definitely Can’t Have Children

Although the two elders of the Qin family didn’t know exactly what made their granddaughter-in-law so impressive,

the fact that these words came from their usually tight-lipped and picky son meant that her “impressive” was anything but ordinary.

“She might be recruited early by the research institute,”

Father Qin dropped another bombshell.

Mother Qin: ?...

Her face lit up with delight. “Really?”

Then she asked, “But what about her university studies?”

“Her knowledge already surpasses what’s taught at university. Besides, if she really does get recruited early by the research institute, it won’t matter even if she doesn’t go to university. She can just go back and take an exam when the time comes.”

This was Father Qin’s guess, something he’d picked up from Old Ji’s words.

“That’s wonderful,” Mother Qin said happily.

After all, the research institute was no ordinary place.

It wasn’t somewhere just anyone could get into.

This meant their young daughter-in-law was truly outstanding—so much so that the institute was willing to make an exception for her.

The whole Qin family was happy for Fu Mingxue.

Well, everyone except one person—Lan Qingman.

She nearly ground her teeth to dust.

Why?!

Are the people at the research institute out of their minds? Recruiting such a young girl?

Ha, it must be because of the Qin family.

Fu Mingxue must have used the Qin family’s name to get herself in.

She really had no shame.

How long had she even been married into the Qin family? And she already dared to use their name to get herself benefits?

“—So, our sister-in-law is going to be working and going to university. Who’s going to look after those two kids?”

She tried her best to keep the jealousy out of her voice.

Mother Qin shot her a look. “Aren’t the children being looked after by their other grandparents? Besides, I go over to check on them all the time.”

“But that’s not a long-term solution! Wen Huo still has to go back to the army, doesn’t he? Are they going to be separated as a couple from now on?”

Mother Qin replied impatiently, “That’s none of your concern. Just mind your own business.”

“Mom, I’m only worried about the two of them. Even though they adopted those two kids, they’re not their own flesh and blood. Shouldn’t our sister-in-law have a child of her own?”

Mother Qin’s expression turned even more impatient. She really didn’t understand why her eldest daughter-in-law was always so meddlesome.

Just listen to what she’s saying—if that’s not stirring up trouble, what is?

Did she really think Mother Qin couldn’t see through her?

“What do you mean, ‘their own flesh and blood’? We don’t have such requirements. Enough, go check on the kitchen! Don’t leave Auntie Li to do all the work herself.”

Lan Qingman: ...?

What’s wrong with this mother-in-law? Isn’t she thinking of what’s best for them?

Besides, what did she say that was wrong?

Isn’t a woman supposed to have children after getting married? If she doesn’t, can she even be called a woman?

How could her brother-in-law, such a good man, not have a child of his own?

Or—could it be that Fu Mingxue actually can’t have children?

Her eyes lit up for a moment—she felt like she’d found the truth.

That must be it. If there was nothing wrong with Fu Mingxue, why would she marry a man who’d already adopted two kids?

She was a university student herself, with a good job waiting for her after graduation. Why would she willingly become a stepmother?

It had to be because she couldn’t have children of her own.

Tsk tsk, a woman who can’t have children—what right does she have to act so high and mighty in front of her?

But actually, it’s better if she can’t have children.

That way, the entire Qin family would eventually belong to her own son—

Fu Mingxue sneezed and rubbed her nose—someone must be cursing her.

Three days passed in a flash.

By four o’clock, Fu Mingxue finally finished her task.

She was quite satisfied.

But the system still showed the task as incomplete.

It must only count as complete once she officially starts the job—
