Chapter 76: Leaving

Fu Mingxue made something up: “Eight thousand. I’ve already paid three thousand, and I’ll pay the rest with my manuscript fees. I should be able to pay it all off within a year.”

Courtyard houses are cheap right now.

In a few years, they’ll be sky-high.

If she had the money, she’d buy a few more. Just these houses alone would make her worth hundreds of millions in the future.

Mother Fu was so shocked by this that she nearly fainted.

“How much did you say? Eight thousand? Oh my heavens, you—you—”

“Mom, don’t get so worked up. This is a low price from a friend. It’s a courtyard house—a really good one. Look, I’ll show you the deed.”

Fu Mingxue hurried back to her room and took the deed out from her space.

She glanced instinctively at the light screen in her space and found that the information about the courtyard house had actually been updated for her.

Even the story she’d made up had been filled in according to her version?

?

???

If only it had filled in the info for her earlier, she wouldn’t have had to make things up!

“Mom, look at this.”

Mother Fu’s hands trembled as she looked at it again and again.

It was real.

Heavens.

Their family actually owned a house in Beijing now?

“Is it really eight thousand? This money—”

“Mom, I can earn it. The newspaper pays me for my writing. But you don’t need to tell others about the writing thing.”

Mother Fu: …?

She still didn’t quite believe it.

Is it really that easy to make money?

But with the deed in her hand, she couldn’t help but believe.

“Mom, don’t dwell on this. Your daughter isn’t stealing or robbing anyone, and she hasn’t done anything bad. This house was earned fair and square. What you should be worrying about now is all the stuff you have left—soon we’ll have to catch the train.”

Mother Fu thought about it and agreed.

No need to talk about the house for now—they’d see it when they got there.

Qin Wenhuo was outside and didn’t hear the mother and daughter’s conversation, so he didn’t know about this.

At seven o’clock, Qin Wenhuo helped carry a lot of their things. “Let’s go!”

There was a car waiting outside, sent by a friend from the police station.

When Fu Mingxue saw the man, she was surprised—it was that police officer named Tang Qiang!

Back when she was just reborn, she’d reported a case to him.

Mother Fu recognized Tang Qiang too and was shocked. “Aren’t you from the Chengxi police station—”

“Auntie, I’m Tang Qiang, and also a friend of Qin Wenhuo’s.”

Mother Fu was stunned.

By this time, Qin Wenhuo had already loaded several bags into the car. He said to Mother Fu, “Mom, let’s get in.”

Mother Fu hurriedly agreed, “Oh, okay.”

She climbed into the car.

Heavens, she’d really made something of herself—she was actually riding in a police car!

She’d never even dreamed of such a thing before.

Fu Mingxue quickly got in too.

Quite a few neighbors had come to see them off.

“Mingxue’s mom, you have to come back and visit us when you have time!”

Mother Fu’s eyes reddened as she looked at her old neighbors through the window. “I will, I will.”

No matter what, she’d lived here for over twenty years.

Leaving just like this, she really couldn’t bear it.

When the rest of the Fu family arrived, all they saw was the car’s exhaust.

They were furious.

Fu Mingxue and her mother had just left, without even coming to the old house to say goodbye.

Especially that wretched girl Fu Mingxue—after all, they were her grandparents, and she didn’t even come to say goodbye.

Two people in particular were especially jealous: Fu Mingya and Song Anxiao.

They could only hide in the corner and watch helplessly as Fu Mingxue drove away—

After Tang Qiang dropped the three of them off at the train station, he drove off—the car belonged to his unit, after all.

Half an hour later, the train arrived. Mother Fu was a little nervous—this was her first time on a train.

“Mingxue, you have to stay close to me. There are a lot of human traffickers on trains—”

Fu Mingxue: …?"
