Chapter 694

Qin Wenshu: "Idol?" This word is quite novel.

"Yes, an idol is someone I admire very much."

Fu Mingxue's words greatly excited Qin Wenshu, as if he himself had been praised.

"Sister-in-law, if Dr. Xie heard you say that, she would be very happy."

Fu Mingxue: ...?
I tried to imagine it—but I couldn't quite picture Dr. Xie looking happy.

Although I've only met Dr. Xie a few times, he always has a detached expression.

The car arrived at the train station quickly.

Fu Mingxue didn't bring much luggage this time.

It was just a suitcase she carried herself.

"I'll get on the train myself in a bit, you can go back first."

"Okay. Then sister-in-law, please be careful, especially on the train, you must be vigilant."

"I know." Fu Mingxue carried her luggage into the train station.

Three days later, the train arrived at the station.

When Fu Mingxue got off the train, she saw Qin Wenhuo.

This took her by surprise.

Qin Wenhuo saw her first and quickly ran to her.

"Wife!" He took the suitcase from his wife. "Let's go!"

Fu Mingxue looked at him. "How did you know I was on this train? Did you call home?"

“I didn’t make the call; my mom called the military base. I received the call just as I returned from a mission.”

"That's quite a coincidence!"

The car was parked outside.

We arrived in no time.

The couple got into the car.

After Qin Wenhuo started driving, he asked, "Honey, are we going straight home now?"

Fu Mingxue nodded, "Yes. I'll go home first today and go to the factory tomorrow."

"Okay. Honey, if you're tired, you can take a nap." It takes about an hour to drive from the train station to the family compound. Fu Mingxue wasn't that sleepy.

She was traveling in a sleeper berth this time, where she could lie down and rest.

And she was very lucky; all the berths in her sleeper compartment were empty, and she was the only passenger.

Therefore, this train journey was not tiring at all.

When their car was about to pass through the town.

Suddenly someone was crying by the roadside ahead.

Fu Mingxue hadn't fallen asleep to begin with, and when she glanced outside, she saw that the person's figure looked somewhat familiar.

"Qin Wenhuo, stop the car!"

"What's wrong?" Qin Wenhuo asked as the car came to a stop.

"I ran into someone I know, so I went down to see what was going on."

Before Qin Wenhuo could say anything, Fu Mingxue pushed open the car door and got out.

Seeing this, Qin Wenhuo had no choice but to quickly get out of the car as well.
"Wang Lihong, what's wrong?"

Wang Lihong, who was crying by the roadside, heard a familiar voice and looked up.

I never expected to see Comrade Fu.

Now, her eyes were even redder.

"Comrade Fu, my grandfather has passed away—"

Fu Mingxue was somewhat shocked when she heard this.

"My condolences! Then why are you crying here?"

“My uncle wants to exchange me for a dowry. My uncle’s family has also taken over my grandfather’s house. They said that my grandfather’s house belongs to them and that I, as a young woman, have no right to live in my grandfather’s house.”

“They want to marry me off to my aunt’s nephew from the next village. Her nephew is mentally challenged.”

Fu Mingxue: ...?
"Is he cerebellar? Besides, marriage is now a matter of personal freedom, so why should they make decisions for you? Doesn't your village care about this?"

"My uncle is the brigade leader."

Wang Lihong cried even harder.

“My aunt locked me up last night, but I escaped.”
