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

Fu Mingxue was quite surprised to hear this.

Master Yang was running a high fever.

’It’s a shame it’s so late. Otherwise, I’d go check on him.’

’But if Master Yang doesn’t show up tomorrow, I’ll pay the Yang family a visit.’

She turned, walked out, and rode her bicycle home.

As she opened the door and stepped into the courtyard, she was nearly scared out of her wits by a lump in the yard—pah, no, wait, it was a person.

It gave her a huge scare.

”You’re back!”

The corner of Fu Mingxue’s mouth twitched at the sound of her voice.

”What are you doing practicing your horse stance out here so late instead of sleeping?”

”Mm. I can’t let my conditioning slip.”

Qin Wenying’s words piqued Fu Mingxue’s curiosity.

”How long have you been in that stance?”

”Not long. Just two hours, though I took some breaks.”

Fu Mingxue: ...?

’Alright, then! My apologies for asking!’

’She’s not even human.’

She parked her bicycle and went to take a shower.

When she came out, she saw her sister-in-law was still holding the stance.

”How much longer are you going to be?”

”I’m done.” With those two words, Qin Wenying ended the movement.

She looked at Fu Mingxue. ”Aren’t you going to eat something before bed?”

Fu Mingxue immediately asked, ”Are you hungry?”

Qin Wenying shook her head. ”I’m not hungry. I don’t eat before bed.”

”I’m not hungry either.”

”Are you this late every night?”

Qin Wenying thought she must have it tough.

”Sometimes I’m late, sometimes I’m early; it all depends on the workload and how things are progressing! The older members of my team put in more overtime than I do, so don’t think I have it rough! Speaking of which—”

Fu Mingxue looked at her. ”I think what you do is pretty tough, too!”

’I could never handle that kind of high-intensity physical training.’

”I’m used to it! It’s nothing special. You should get to bed. I’m going to sleep too.”

The room Mrs. Fu had prepared for Qin Wenying was a separate, smaller room.

Ever since Qin Wenshu’s last visit, Mrs. Fu figured other guests might come in the future.

So she had tidied it up properly.

It had an electric fan that Fu Mingxue had bought.

So, it wasn’t particularly hot.

Even if it were hot, it would be nothing to Qin Wenying.

After all, she had stayed in far harsher conditions in the wild.

Once, on a mission in the Gobi Desert, she had even stayed for several days and nights. Now that was a huge difference between day and night temperatures.

Fu Mingxue nodded. She didn’t offer to let Qin Wenying share her room.

’I’m sure Qin Wenying prefers to sleep alone anyway.’

Qin Wenying took a shower, and after returning to her room and lying down, she was out like a light.

Meanwhile, after returning to her own room, Fu Mingxue continued to read.

「The next day.」

When Fu Mingxue got up and came out, she once again saw her sister-in-law in the courtyard, holding a horse stance.

The corner of her mouth twitched.

”Morning!”

Before Qin Wenying could speak, Mrs. Fu emerged from the small kitchen. ”It’s not early at all! Wen Ying got up at four-thirty for a run, and she’s been holding that stance since five-thirty.”

Fu Mingxue: ...?

’That intense?’

’I’d better just stick to my research.’

To prevent her mother-in-law from suggesting she join in on the exercise, she quickly went to wash up.

’I’m not going to get sucked into that competition, but I can always make the kids do it in the future.’

She turned, picked up her two children, and said in a grave, heartfelt tone:

”Sweethearts, do you see your auntie over there? Next year, you can start learning the horse stance. We’re going to be masters of both brain and brawn!”

Mrs. Fu: ?...

’Listen to that! Is that something a mother should be saying?’

’How old will these two even be next year?’

’Making them do the horse stance?’

’Then why doesn’t she do it herself?’

She quickly took the two children away from their ridiculous mother.

”Come along, sweethearts, let’s go get some food.”
