Chapter 169: My Son-in-law Really Is Upright and Honorable

Ruan Hongfei’s eyes instantly turned red.

She couldn’t accept that Qin Wenhuo was really getting married.

How could he get married?

Clinging to the last shred of dignity, she forced out an awkward smile. “It’s nothing, I was just curious. Sorry for bothering you.”

With that, she turned and left.

Mother Fu watched her departing figure, frowning slightly—it was clear this girl had a one-sided crush on her son-in-law.

Otherwise, her own daughter wouldn’t have ended up marrying him.

Thinking of this, she let out a sigh of relief.

Just as she was about to close the door, Wang Xiang from next door came out. “Auntie, the girl who just left was Ruan Hongfei from the song and dance troupe.”

When Mother Fu heard she was from the troupe, she didn’t think much of it.

The girl was pretty and had a good job.

But in her eyes, her own daughter was even prettier, and her job was even better.

After all, who else could earn a monthly salary of 130 at such a young age?

And her daughter was a college graduate!

Seeing Mother Fu’s lukewarm reaction, Wang Xiang swallowed the rest of what she wanted to say.

Forget it, she’d keep her nose out of other people’s business.

Qin Wenhuo didn’t return until two in the afternoon.

“Mom, I brought all these things back. Hurry and check if anything got damaged.”

Was his mother-in-law planning to move everything from their new house over here?

Mother Fu was overjoyed. “Oh, it finally arrived. That was faster than I expected.”

With all these things brought over, she could finally put them to use.

Suddenly, she remembered something. “It’s a pity we couldn’t send the TV over. If we don’t watch it for a long time, will it break?”

Qin Wenhuo immediately replied, “The TV won’t break. Even if it does, we can just get someone to fix it.”

As soon as Mother Fu heard the word “fix,” her mood soured.

That was a brand-new TV, and it cost quite a bit! If she’d known, she wouldn’t have bought it in the first place.

“We forgot last time. We should’ve let your mom take the TV home to watch. If it just sits there, what if it gets moldy?”

“Mom, it won’t get moldy,” Qin Wenhuo reassured her.

Of course, he didn’t mention that if appliances sit unused for too long, there’s actually a good chance they’ll break.

Mother Fu was just voicing her worries.

If it really did get moldy or break, there wasn’t much they could do.

“Next time you call home, tell your mom to take the TV over and use it. We gave her a key when we left, after all.”

Qin Wenhuo nodded. “Alright, I’ll mention it next time I call.”

Only then did Mother Fu relax.

“Oh, by the way, a girl from the song and dance troupe came by this morning.”

As she said this, she deliberately watched her son-in-law’s expression.

When Qin Wenhuo heard that a girl from the troupe had come by, his brows immediately furrowed.

He didn’t even need to guess who it was.

“Mom, what did she say?”

“Not much. She just asked who I was, I told her I was your mother-in-law, and then she left.”

Mother Fu’s words made Qin Wenhuo frown even deeper.

“Mom, if she comes by again, you don’t need to bother with her. I’m not close to her. If she has any issues, she can take them up with the troupe.”

Hearing this, Mother Fu felt completely at ease.

Just from her son-in-law’s upright and forthright attitude, she knew there was nothing between him and that girl.

She always knew her son-in-law was honest and honorable.

“Alright, I know. Let me check if anything got broken in these packages.”

Qin Wenhuo: …?

Did his mother-in-law actually send something fragile in there?

Since the packages were a bit large, he really hadn’t noticed anything fragile inside."
