Reborn in the 1980s, remarried and followed a soldier, the ungrateful wretch cried with regret.

Chapter 195 Is this a rise?
Fu Mingxue was both surprised and not surprised.

After all, how old is the child? The river water is even colder this early in the morning.

It's estimated that he fell in for quite a while, otherwise, Qin Wenhuo wouldn't have held him down for so long when he was rescued.

"When the child is discharged from the hospital, I'll send some things over."

"Of course I know that. Sister Wang came to give me a thank-you gift today, but I didn't accept a single one. How could I possibly accept this!"

Mother Fu isn't the kind of person who's easily swayed.

She certainly wouldn't accept things from just anyone.

What's more, her son-in-law is a soldier—he saved people, and she, as his mother-in-law, is accepting gifts as thanks. Wouldn't that make people gossip about her behind her back?
Fu Mingxue didn't discuss the topic anymore; it was too late, and she needed to go back to her room to read for two hours.

She has so many books to study, physics, math—
There's simply not enough time to learn it all.

The next day, Fu Mingxue was awakened by the crying and shouting outside.

No, to be precise, it was the crying from next door that woke me up.

I checked my watch and realized it was already six o'clock.

So he got up.

Once they were in the courtyard, she whispered to her mother, "What happened? Why are they arguing again?"

She would like to move if she could.

Mother Fu pursed her lips.

"That old woman next door, Fei, found her daughter-in-law a job sweeping the floors. It's the one at the school. I have no idea how that old hag found it."

“You have a job? That’s great!” Fu Mingxue thought a job was better, at least she wouldn’t have to stay at home every day.

After all, that family has a wicked mother-in-law!
"What's so good about it? That daughter-in-law is pitiful. Every day after work, she still has to come home and do laundry and cook. That old hag doesn't do a single thing. Yesterday, she was so focused on her grandson that her little granddaughter got scalded by boiling water. When the mother came home from get off work last night and saw her daughter scalded like that, she was naturally very angry."

"And that's how the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started fighting."

Fu Mingxue's eyes lit up.

Good for her—the wicked mother-in-law deserves to be taught a lesson.

“They fought yesterday, and they fought again before you came back last night. Then this morning, that old hag started cursing and swearing again, and the two of them ended up fighting.” Fu Mingxue listened carefully, and the one crying and wailing seemed to be the wicked mother-in-law.

So, the daughter-in-law next door has risen to prominence?

"Never mind them, hurry up and wash your face, brush your teeth, and go eat breakfast."

"It's alright, I'm early today, Mom. Don't forget how fast my bicycle is now."

"Yes, yes, very fast." Fu's mother rolled her eyes at her, "But it's also a huge drain on electricity."

It costs several dollars a month to charge it.

Who can afford it?
"Mom, it's not expensive. As long as you go back and forth between the factory and home like this, it'll only cost about three yuan a month."

Mother Fu: ...?
Three pieces isn't expensive?
That's because her salary is high.

If it were someone else's house...

I only earn about thirty yuan.

Some only earn twenty-odd yuan.

I don't want to talk about this anymore.

"I'll go check if the two children are awake."

Fu Mingxue went to wash up—and then heard the old woman next door wailing even louder.

Tsk, it would be better to hit him a few more times.

There was a knock on the door while she was having breakfast.

Fu Mingxue put down her chopsticks and went to open the door.

She was somewhat surprised when she saw that it was the young woman next door.

"what's up?"

Cui Meihong was a little flustered. "Comrade Fu, I... I'd like to ask if I can borrow five yuan from you?"
