Chapter 132: Oddball
Fu Mingxue said immediately, "Work is going quite well. Also, I came over today because I have something to tell you all. Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Dad, I’m being transferred to S Province for work."
This news stunned the Qin family.
Weren’t they under the impression she was working at the research institute?
Why was she suddenly going to S Province?
"Mingxue, what’s going on?" Mrs. Qin asked.
"The research institute hired me, but for now, my assignment is in S Province. I have to leave the day after tomorrow."
"S Province? Isn’t that where Wenhao’s military unit is?" Mr. Qin understood in an instant. "Are you going with Old Ji?"
Fu Mingxue nodded. "Yes. I’m going with Mr. Ji. By the way, my mother and the two children are coming with me too."
Mrs. Qin was stunned. "Ah, they’re going too? Why not let your mother and the two kids stay here? We can take care of them."
"Mom, my mother and the two kids are coming with me. I might not be transferred back for a while. Besides, the institute over there will assign me housing. Even if they don’t, I can just move into the Wenhuo Family Courtyard."
"That way, our family can all be together, right?"
Mrs. Qin couldn’t argue with that.
Of course, she also wanted her youngest son and his wife to be together.
She had been sad that the couple was living apart, especially since university would take several years.
But now, they wouldn’t have to be separated anymore.
This was definitely good news for her.
"Sister-in-law, since your job is transferring you, what about your spot at the university? How about... if you’re not going to use it, you let me go instead!"
Lan Qingman rarely spoke up, but when she did—it was always something shocking.
She left the entire Qin family, Fu Mingxue included, completely stunned.
They all turned to stare at Lan Qingman, their expressions a picture of disbelief.
Being stared at by so many people made Lan Qingman a little uncomfortable.
"—Wh-what are you all staring at me for? I-I’m not wrong, am I? She’s going to work so far away, so her university spot will just be empty. Letting me go instead—that’s not a problem, is it? It won’t go to waste that way!"
"Sister-in-law, don’t worry. When I graduate, I will be sure to thank you properly."
Fu Mingxue couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
’This level of intelligence... How on earth did Qin Wenhao’s older brother fall for her?’
Qin Wenze’s face darkened. He truly never expected his own wife could say something so outrageous.
He could feel his face burning with shame.
"Shut up! Do you think a university spot is something you can just take over? Just think for a second—even if you went, could you even understand what the professors are teaching?"
Mrs. Qin was also at a complete loss for words.
’This eldest daughter-in-law of mine... How could she be so dense?’
’Does she have no self-awareness whatsoever?’
"Why are you yelling at me? Don’t you always complain that I’m uneducated? If I get more schooling, won’t that bring you some honor? Besides, I’m going because I don’t understand things! If I already understood everything, why would I need to go to university? If I don’t get it, the teachers will teach me!"
The more Lan Qingman spoke, the more self-righteous she became.
Qin Wenze: ...?
The Qin family: ?...
Fu Mingxue: ...?
The entire family was rendered speechless.
"Sorry, I really can’t transfer my enrollment to you. Because I’m still attending the university myself. I’m working and going to school at the same time. Neither gets in the way of the other."
’That’s right. I’m just that badass.’
"Sister-in-law, you just don’t want to give it to me, is that it? I’ll really be grateful. We’re both wives in the Qin family. If I go to university, it’s good for the Qin family too—"
Qin Wenze’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
He couldn’t stand to listen to another word. He walked over, grabbed his wife, and started pulling her away. "Let’s go. We’re going back to our room."
’Staying here any longer would just be a complete embarrassment.’
