Chapter 85: Coming to the Door

Mrs. Fu was cooking when she heard a knock at the door.

She quickly wiped her hands and went to open it.

When she saw it was Qin Wenhuo’s cousin, she immediately greeted him warmly and invited him in.

Qin Wenshu waved his hand.

“Auntie, I won’t come in.”

“Wenhuo asked me to pass on a message—his wife won’t be coming home tonight. She’s staying at the hospital to look after the two kids. He said you should go to bed early.”

Mrs. Fu hurriedly asked, “How are the kids now? Are they any better?”

“Much better. They’ll probably just need to be observed for the rest of the night.”

Hearing that, Mrs. Fu finally let out a sigh of relief.

“That’s good! By the way, which hospital are they at? I’ll bring them some food!”

“Auntie, there’s no need. Aunt Li already brought them dinner. You just eat at home. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be off.”

With that, he hopped on his bicycle and sped away.

He needed to hurry back to the Qin house—he was sure Zhao Sisi would get her family to cause a scene.

Mrs. Fu: …?

That kid! She’d been planning to keep him for dinner!

But since someone was already bringing food to the hospital, she decided not to go.

——

At the Qin house.

Mrs. Zhao arrived, bringing Zhao Sisi, whose face was red and swollen.

Mrs. Qin had just gotten home herself.

She was shocked when she saw the obvious slap mark on Zhao Sisi’s face.

“What happened?”

The rest of the Qin family were also surprised.

Who hit Zhao Sisi?

And more importantly, why had the Zhao mother and daughter come to their house?

“What do you mean, what happened? You should ask your good daughter-in-law!”

Lan Qingman, who had just been watching the drama from the sidelines, couldn’t help but speak up.

Her expression was unpleasant. “Auntie, what do you mean by that? Are you saying I hit Zhao Sisi? You can’t just accuse people without evidence!”

“I wasn’t talking about you. I’m talking about Qin Wenhuo’s wife! She actually beat my Sisi like this, and even pulled out a handful of her hair! What kind of person does that?”

“If she doesn’t give us an explanation today, I won’t let this go!”

Her words left everyone stunned.

Lan Qingman’s mouth opened and closed several times in disbelief.

—Was it really Fu Mingxue who hit Zhao Sisi?

No way! How did those two even run into each other? And they actually got into a fight?

Tsk tsk, this is going to be good.

Sure enough, no matter how pretty a country girl is, she’s still a country girl—she’s only just arrived in the capital and already gotten into a fight.

The Zhao family isn’t easy to mess with!

Heh!

Mrs. Qin was struggling to process this. “Sisi’s mom, could there be some mistake? My daughter-in-law just arrived in the capital! Besides, she doesn’t even know Sisi, does she? Maybe there’s been some misunderstanding?”

Mrs. Zhao was furious. “How could there be a mistake? Just look at my daughter’s face! And there’s no misunderstanding—Qin Wenshu himself said she was Qin Wenhuo’s wife. Call her out here—how could she beat someone up like this?”

“If you don’t give me a satisfactory answer today, I’ll have no choice but to call the police.”

She looked like she wasn’t going to give anyone any face.

Lan Qingman chimed in, “Oh my, if it really was my sister-in-law who did it, she really went too far. No matter what happened, you can’t beat someone up like this. Her face is so swollen—will it leave a scar?”

“Shut up,” Mrs. Qin snapped at her, her dissatisfaction with her eldest daughter-in-law plain to see.

Lan Qingman felt wronged by the scolding.

She hadn’t said anything wrong.

You’re not supposed to hit people in the face! How could she hit a young girl like this and still be in the right?

Didn’t she think about the Qin family’s reputation at all?
