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

Chapter 300: There's no other way, I'll just have to offer a mother instead.

"I'll go open the door." Qin Wenhuo stood up, holding the child.

When he opened the door, he saw Director Wang. "What's the matter?"

Sister Wang was surprised to find Qin Wenhuo opening the door.

She really didn't expect him to be home at this hour.

"—Qin Tuan, you're home too! I'm here to see your wife, Fu Mingxue. I heard she's back."

"What's the matter?" Qin Wenhuo showed no intention of moving aside.

To be honest, he didn't have a particularly good impression of this Sister Wang.

Sister Wang also noticed Qin Tuan's coldness.

She was tempted to leave, but then she remembered the purpose of her visit and smiled again.

"I do need to speak with Comrade Fu Mingxue about something. Perhaps I could go in and talk to her?"

Qin Wenhuo frowned almost imperceptibly.

Just as he was about to tell the man to leave, Fu Mingxue spoke up, "Qin Wenhuo, let Director Wang in."

Upon hearing her words, Qin Wenhuo had no choice but to step aside and make way for her.

Sister Wang quickly went into the courtyard.

What she saw was Fu Mingxue, sitting steadily on the stool while holding her child—the loving scene between mother and daughter made her slightly startled.

It must be said that Fu Mingxue is indeed beautiful.

She doesn't look like a married person at all.

"Director Wang, you didn't come here specifically to keep an eye on me, did you?"

Fu Mingxue's words brought Wang Jie back to her senses.

She laughed and said, "Mingxue, you're as beautiful as an angel. I'm so smitten with you."

"That's true, I am indeed good-looking, so it's normal for people to stare. However, Director Wang, let's get down to business first! What do you need me for?"

"It's like this, our unit has a military exercise next month, right? Commander Qin knows about it." Sister Wang looked at Qin Wenhuo. Qin Wenhuo didn't say anything, nor did he look at her.

This made Director Wang feel somewhat embarrassed.

"So what?" Fu Mingxue sometimes really disliked this way of speaking.

Why can't you say everything at once?

Director Wang roused himself and turned his attention back to Fu Mingxue.

"It's like this, this performance isn't just the one by the performing arts troupe; our residential compound will also be putting on a show. Mingxue, you're beautiful and so talented—you're the flower of our compound!"

After discussion, we've unanimously decided that you should also perform a program. Oh, and we also have a group performance; every family member has to participate.

“I know you’re very busy with work, but this is a matter for our entire residential compound. Could you spare a day for it?”

"If that's not possible, two hours will do."

Fu Mingxue: ? ...

Are you kidding me? She's so busy, how could she possibly have time to participate?

Qin Wenhuo's brows furrowed deeply, just as he was about to speak up for his wife to refuse.

His wife spoke up before he could, "Does each family have to contribute one?"

Director Wang didn't hear her words clearly, but assumed she meant the same thing he had just said, so he immediately nodded, "Yes, one from each family."

Fu Mingxue spoke again: "Is it that you can't refuse?"

"Except for some special reasons, he basically can't be absent. Liu Xiang from our family compound, she broke her leg, but she has to be there every day."

Upon hearing this, Fu Mingxue's lips twitched.

How physically disabled but mentally strong must one be?
If she doesn't go, wouldn't that mean she's disregarding collective honor and being incredibly inconsiderate?

“Since everyone has to go, then my family definitely has to send one person too. Okay then! One person will go. I definitely won’t have time, but to prevent the collective honor of the residential compound from being lost to my family, I’ll contribute one of my mothers!”
