Chapter 93: In-Laws

Lan Qingman, who was just about to get into the car, froze for a moment.

Can’t we just squeeze in?

“Make some room—” Fu Mingxue squeezed her aside.

Lan Qingman: …?

She could only watch as everyone else got in the car, leaving her behind.

She was so angry her face turned ashen.

This Fu Mingxue isn’t even officially married into the family yet, and she already dares to go against her. Once she’s married in a few days, won’t she be even more insolent?

But Fu Mingxue couldn’t care less about how she felt at this moment.

The car soon arrived at the alley.

“Aunt is here,” Qin Wenshu said as he parked the car.

“They live here?” Mother Qin was surprised. “This courtyard house is really nice.”

It was a bit different from what she had imagined.

She hadn’t expected the house her younger daughter-in-law bought to be this good.

“Yes, it really is nice. Mom, let’s get out of the car!”

Qin Wenhuo had already gotten out first and opened the car door for her.

She got out holding the child. “Mom, I’m back—”

At her call, Mother Fu, who was sweeping the yard, immediately came out to open the door.

When she saw her daughter holding a thin, frail child, she instantly knew it was her grandson.

“Mom, this is my mother-in-law,” Fu Mingxue quickly introduced when she saw Mother Qin had also gotten out of the car. “Mom, this is my mom.”

Two moms—it sounded a bit awkward.

“In-law—” Mother Fu was a little surprised.

She hadn’t expected Qin Wenhuo’s birth mother to come over, and this in-law looked so young.

Compared to herself, she almost seemed like a generation younger.

“In-law, I should have come to see you yesterday afternoon, but both kids were sick.”

Mother Fu immediately said, “The children are more important. In-law, please, come inside.”

Everyone went inside together.

The two children looked around curiously, clearly not too afraid of this unfamiliar place.

“In-law, please have a seat,” Mother Fu said, then headed to the kitchen.

Mother Qin told her not to trouble herself.

Fu Mingxue said to Qin Wenhuo, “Qin Wenhuo, hold the child for a bit. I’m going to buy some groceries. Mom, you’ll stay for lunch, right?”

“No need, I’ll have to head back soon. There are elders at home, so I can’t stay away too long. But let Wenhuo go buy some groceries, you all can eat together.”

Qin Wenhuo nodded. “I’ll go buy groceries.”

He took Qin Wenshu with him.

“Mingxue, I didn’t expect you to keep this house so clean. It’s really nice and comfortable to live in.”

It was even better than the wedding house she had prepared for them.

The wedding house she’d prepared wasn’t as big as this two-courtyard siheyuan.

“I think this house is great too. Mom, how about this: after the wedding, since it doesn’t matter where we live, let’s have Wenhuo move here. We can just leave the wedding house for now.”

Mother Qin wasn’t old-fashioned, so she agreed.

“Sure, you two can decide for yourselves. But the wedding itself has to be held at the Qin family house.”

“That’s fine.”

There was nothing to object to.

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quickly reached an agreement about the house.

At that moment, Mother Fu came out with sweet boiled eggs.

“In-law, have some tea.”

“Oh, in-law, you’re too polite—”

Mother Fu took the child from her hands. “You eat first, or it won’t taste as good once it’s cold.”

Mother Qin knew this was the proper way to treat guests.

So she had no choice but to start eating—

After eating, she sat and chatted with Mother Fu for about half an hour.

Then she got up to leave. “In-law, I’ll be going now.”

“Why not stay a bit longer?”

“No, there’s a lot to do at home. I’ll head back first. Next time, you must come over for a meal.”

“Of course.” Mother Fu didn’t refuse. Naturally, she would visit the Qin family."
