Reborn in the 80s and Remarrying an Officer, Let the Ungrateful Cry!

Mrs. Qin couldn’t very well fight her for the task, so she let Mrs. Fu do the washing.

She walked over to where the two children were.

Seeing how adorable the two children were, her mood lifted considerably.

’These two children are so good-looking.’

’Then again, our Mingxue and Qin Wenhao are good-looking too. Any child they have will definitely be just as cute.’

In her heart, she truly did see these two as her own grandson and granddaughter.

However, as a mother-in-law, she definitely hoped her younger son and daughter-in-law would have a child of their own.

It didn’t matter if it was a boy or a girl.

Besides, even if they did have a biological child of their own...

She believed the couple wouldn’t treat the children any differently.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Fu quickly finished washing the dishes.

Seeing her daughter’s mother-in-law talking with the two children, she remembered she still hadn’t delivered the medicine she bought for her neighbor.

”I’m going to run next door and drop off some medicine.”

Mrs. Qin nodded. ”Alright, go ahead.”

Mrs. Fu took the medicine and went next door, returning a short while later.

”Does Mingxue have to work late tonight too?”

Mrs. Qin asked.

Mrs. Fu replied, ”She isn’t back yet, so she must still be working. I heard her... assignment, or whatever it is, is pretty demanding. I don’t really know the details.”

”That’s so exhausting!” Mrs. Qin’s heart ached for her daughter-in-law.

”It is a little tough, but it’s what’s expected. After all, her work unit is so good to her, and her salary and bonuses are quite generous. If you don’t put in the hours, you’d feel like you’re taking advantage—”

’They pay so much. If she didn’t work a little extra overtime, wouldn’t she feel like she hadn’t earned the money?’

’Even if I’m not highly educated, I know you can’t just take advantage of the state!’

Mrs. Qin: ...?

”My dear, Mingxue’s job isn’t measured by hours worked. Her research is what’s important. Even if she only worked for half the month, as long as she successfully develops a product, that’s the biggest contribution she can make.”

”She deserves every cent of her salary.”

”Our Mingxue’s greatest asset is her mind.”

Mrs. Fu was overjoyed to hear this.

What mother doesn’t love to hear someone praise her daughter like that?

Especially when that someone was her daughter’s own mother-in-law.

”You’re right, my dear. My daughter is indeed smart. She’s loved reading since she was a little girl. She used to be a bit of a bookworm, but she’s much better now—”

’Come to think of it, my daughter really could be a bit stubborn back then.’

”Oh, right! Were you planning to sleep in that storage room tonight? Don’t. The bed is huge, big enough for both of us. Why don’t we sleep in the same room tonight? We can chat more.

We can let that boy Wenshu sleep in the storage room!”

Mrs. Qin hadn’t expected her to say that. ”—Th-that works, I suppose.”

She had originally been afraid that Qin Wenhao’s mother wouldn’t be comfortable sharing a room with someone, which was why she had cleaned out the storage room to sleep in herself.

Besides, the storage room was actually quite spacious, and it was rather nice now that it had been all cleaned up.

As for her daughter’s room—she wasn’t about to go squeeze in there with her.

Her daughter was a light sleeper and slept much better alone.

Meanwhile, Qin Wenshu was taking a stroll around the military base.

Before he knew it, he had wandered over to the Art Troupe’s building.

He nearly bumped into someone.

”Watch where you’re going!”

Li Jing snapped, slightly irritated.

Qin Wenshu quickly apologized, ”S-sorry!”

Li Jing glared at him irritably. ”Who are you? What are you doing at the Art Troupe?”

Qin Wenshu: ...?

’He couldn’t just say he’d ended up here by chance, could he?’

’After all, this was a military base. He certainly couldn’t just wander around restricted areas.’

Thinking fast, he said, ”I’m actually here to ask about someone. Was there a person named Ruan Hongfei in your Art Troupe before?”
