Chapter 130: A Happy Yet Worried Mrs. Fu
At first, Mrs. Fu had been very worried when she heard her daughter was going to S Province.
’Why is she being transferred so far away?’
’She just knew a high salary like that wouldn’t be easy to come by.’
But as soon as she heard her daughter’s new workplace was very close to her son-in-law, she immediately declared, "We’ll go together. Our whole family has to stick together."
’This job is just too good—it even lets a husband and wife live together.’
She had been thinking that her daughter and son-in-law would end up living far apart, making it difficult for them to see each other.
Now, everything was solved.
Not only did her daughter have a fantastic, high-paying job, but she was also so close to her son-in-law.
’How could a job be this good?’
But her happiness was quickly followed by another thought. "If you’re going to work, are you still going to attend university?"
’If she doesn’t, wouldn’t taking the exam have been a waste?’
’But then again, the job is so good, and the salary is so high.’
It was a difficult choice—Mrs. Fu was torn.
"Mom, it’s not a problem. When the time comes, I’ll just come back for the exams. The school will still give me a diploma."
"Huh? You can do that? The school is that good?" Mrs. Fu was shocked.
She really had seen too little of the world.
Fu Mingxue nodded. "Yes. The department head was the one who brought me over. He approved it himself, so you don’t need to worry."
Mrs. Fu: ...?
Now she was truly happy.
Her eyes reddened inexplicably.
"If that good-for-nothing father of yours knew his daughter was this successful, he’d probably be overjoyed."
Fu Mingxue had rarely seen her mother get teary-eyed.
In her memory, her mother had always been a rather tough woman.
She gave her a gentle hug. "Mom, aren’t you happy?"
Mrs. Fu shot her a mock-reproachful look. "Happy? Of course I’m happy. It’s a shame the Fu family’s ancestral tomb has nothing to do with us. Otherwise, I’d have to go back and pay my respects."
’My daughter is so capable, yet every last one of the Fu family is blind as a bat. Let them dote on those good-for-nothings!’
Hearing her mother’s words, Fu Mingxue’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.
Just then, Mrs. Fu suddenly asked, "We’re leaving the day after tomorrow, is that right?"
Fu Mingxue nodded. "That’s right. Someone is coming to pick us up at eight in the morning the day after tomorrow."
"Oh my, that’s only one day from now! I need to go get things ready. By the way, if we’re leaving, what do we do about the house?"
’It’s such a pity not to live in the new house we just bought.’
’I really treasure this house!’
"The house is right here; it’s not going to run away. Mom, just pack the essentials for now. Don’t bring too much. If we have too much luggage, we won’t be able to take it all with us."
Mrs. Fu felt that these were all things they had just purchased, not to mention the items shipped from their hometown. If they didn’t take them, wouldn’t they just have to buy new things all over again?
Her daughter’s salary was indeed quite high, but she hadn’t forgotten they still owed a lot of money on the house!
’Even if they didn’t eat or drink, how many years would it take to pay off the debt?’
"Honey, what about your writing?"
As soon as Fu Mingxue heard this, she knew what her mother was worrying about again.
’Right, I almost forgot about that lie.’
"Mom, I can write the manuscripts anywhere. Don’t worry, the money will be paid back very soon."
Hearing this, Mrs. Fu breathed a sigh of relief.
But then, her heart ached for her daughter.
’Working a job and also writing to earn money—her daughter was pushing herself way too hard.’
’No, I absolutely have to go with her.’
’If I’m there—if nothing else—I can at least cook her meals and wash her clothes every day.’
’That would make life a little easier for my daughter, one way or another.’
"I’ll go pack then. I’ll get everything sorted out first. We’ll take what we can, and for whatever we can’t, we’ll have your husband ship to us when he comes back."
"Okay." Fu Mingxue figured their time in S Province probably wouldn’t be short.
’Otherwise, Mr. Ji wouldn’t have suggested that she could bring her family along.’
