Chapter 119: Mrs. Fu Feels Her Life Hasn’t Been in Vain
Fu Mingxue immediately corrected her with a serious tone:
"Comrade Xu Zifeng, that’s not the right way to think. What do you mean it’s not good for me? Are you talking about yourself or the children? You’re my mother. Even if you were a beggar, you’d still be my mother."
"And the two kids are a fact. I’m married and have children. What, am I supposed to hide it?"
Mrs. Fu rolled her eyes at her. "I was just saying. You’re taking it so seriously. Fine, fine, let’s go."
’But I probably can’t carry both of them by myself.’
’Maybe I should carry one on my back?’
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
"I’ll go see." Mrs. Fu immediately went to open the door. She was surprised to see her daughter’s mother-in-law.
"What brings you here?"
Mrs. Qin smiled kindly. "Isn’t today the day Mingxue registers for university? I came to take her to school. I had Wenshu drive over."
"Ah, you brought the car? That’s too much trouble. We were just going to walk—"
Mrs. Qin understood the implication in her words. ’So she’s planning on coming along, too?’
She didn’t point it out.
"It’s no trouble. The car makes it convenient."
Just then, Fu Mingxue also walked over. She smiled and said, "Well then, thank you, Mom. We were just getting ready to bring the two kids with us, too."
Mrs. Qin: ...?
’She’s even bringing the two children?’
She really hadn’t expected this. It was quite a surprise.
"Have you finished getting ready?"
"I don’t need to pack anything. I’m planning to apply to live at home."
She had a local house, and with two one-year-old children, she would probably get approved.
"Living at home is for the best." Mrs. Qin also hoped her daughter-in-law would live at home.
After all, it would be more convenient at home.
"I’ll go get the kids."
The two mothers went to the main room.
The two children were sitting in their chairs.
"Oh, my sweet granddaughter, come here. Let Grandma hold you." Mrs. Qin stepped forward and picked up Qin Keke. "You seem to have gotten much heavier!"
Her complexion looked so much better, too.
’It seems my daughter-in-law’s mother has been taking very good care of them.’
The two children were the well-behaved type and weren’t shy around strangers.
The group got into the car.
Qin Wenshu quickly drove to the gates of Beijing University.
As soon as they stopped, Fu Mingxue said to him, "Wenshu, thank you for driving us here, but you don’t have to wait. We’re going to walk around the university for a bit. It’s not that far, so we’ll just walk back later."
Mrs. Fu agreed with her daughter, nodding hastily. "That’s right, that’s right. We can just walk back. You don’t need to wait."
Seeing this, Mrs. Qin also said to Qin Wenshu, "In that case, Wenshu, you can head back first. We’ll get back on our own later."
Since all three of them said so, Qin Wenshu just nodded. "Alright, then."
The three women got out of the car.
"Mom, let me hold her!"
Mrs. Qin refused. "No need, I can manage."
Mrs. Fu looked at her daughter. "Don’t you have to handle your registration? Business first. The two of us can hold the children."
A one-year-old child isn’t that tiring to hold.
Seeing this, Fu Mingxue didn’t press the issue.
The group prepared to enter the university.
"Goodness gracious, this campus is huge!" Mrs. Fu’s eyes couldn’t take it all in.
She felt she hadn’t lived her life in vain—after all, she’d now been to such a grand university.
Mrs. Qin said with a smile, "This is one of the best universities in Beijing City, with a hundred-year history! The people who get in here are all brilliant, so Mingxue is truly amazing."
Just then, an upperclassman from the welcoming committee came over. "Hi there, are you a new student here to register? What department are you in?"
