Chapter 124: Mrs. Fu Wonders: Is Her Daughter Really That Amazing?
When Fu Mingxue got home, Mrs. Qin hadn’t left yet.
"Mingxue, didn’t you go out to run some errands? How are you back so soon?"
"Ma, I still have to go."
Just then, a car horn sounded outside.
Mrs. Qin thought Qin Wenshu had come to pick her up.
"That boy... I told him he didn’t need to come get me. Why did he drive over anyway?"
"Mingxue, I’ll be going then."
"Ma, that car outside might not be for Qin Wenshu. It might be here for me."
After all, if Qin Wenshu were here, he would have gotten out and knocked on the door by now.
Right on cue, there was a knock at the door.
"I’ll go see." Mrs. Qin went to open the door.
She was surprised to see a young guard. "Who are you looking for?"
"Hello, I’m here to pick up Comrade Fu Mingxue."
Mrs. Qin was speechless. ’...?’
’So they really are here for my daughter-in-law.’
’What’s going on?’
While she was still bewildered, Fu Mingxue walked over and said to the guard, "I’m Fu Mingxue. Could you please wait for ten minutes?"
The guard replied immediately, "Of course. I’ll wait outside."
Fu Mingxue nodded. "Okay!"
Just then, Mrs. Fu appeared, holding a child. "Daughter, what’s going on?"
Fu Mingxue explained to her two mothers, "Ma, I have to go work at the research institute for three or four days. I have to leave now, and I’ll be eating and sleeping there."
Both mothers were completely bewildered.
’Work at a research institute?’
’Isn’t she supposed to be starting college?’
"Daughter, aren’t you supposed to be starting university? Why are you suddenly going to work?" Mrs. Fu was especially confused. "Are you not going to college anymore?"
Fu Mingxue didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
"Ma, I’m only going for three days. I’m still going to college. Okay, they’re waiting for me outside. I’ll go pack some clothes. Also, I’ll have to trouble you with the two kids at home."
"Don’t you worry about the children. Just hurry up and pack." Although Mrs. Fu didn’t understand what was really going on, she still trusted her daughter completely.
After all, one could question her daughter’s life skills, but not her brains when it came to academics.
’As long as she can still go to college, it’s fine.’
Fu Mingxue quickly packed a change of clothes.
’Can’t put these in my space.’
So, she just wrapped them in a cloth bundle and was done.
When she came out, she stuffed five hundred yuan into her mom’s hand. "Ma, take this money. Also, the formula for the two kids is in the cabinet in the main hall."
Mrs. Fu said immediately, "Alright, I know. Go on, hurry up. Don’t keep the comrade waiting."
Fu Mingxue said goodbye to her mother-in-law as well, then walked out.
After watching her get in the car and drive away, the two mothers looked at each other, speechless.
"My dear in-law, what was all that about? How did ’going to school’ turn into ’going to work’?"
When it came to worldliness, Mrs. Fu, who had never left her small town, was certainly no match for Mrs. Qin.
"A research institute... that’s a prestigious place. Our Mingxue is incredible."
To have them send a car to pick her up... it just goes to show how capable my daughter-in-law is.
Besides, she had heard a little something from that young man named Yan before—that her younger daughter-in-law’s college entrance exam scores were incredible.
Mrs. Fu: ’...?’
’Is my daughter really that amazing?’
"My dear in-law, it’ll be a lot of trouble for you with the children. If it’s really too much, I can take one with me!"
The moment Mrs. Fu heard this, she immediately refused. "No need. The two children are always together. If we separate them, they’re sure to make a fuss. Besides, they’re very well-behaved. I’ll have no problem taking care of them by myself. You don’t have to worry, my dear in-law."
