Chapter 384: How Am I Crippled?

The two of them didn’t notice her.

"Either is fine."

"Let’s go talk upstairs, then."

Qin Wenying pulled her up with one arm.

Fu Mingxue was afraid of bumping her sister-in-law’s injured arm.

So she held still and let her sister-in-law guide her up.

The two of them went upstairs.

Fu Mingxue had thought her sister-in-law was taking her to the study, but to her surprise, she was led to her bedroom.

This was the first time Fu Mingxue had ever been in Qin Wenying’s room.

It was decorated very cozily.

And the room was quite large, with its own private bathroom.

For people of this era, a house like this was the height of luxury.

After all, very few houses had indoor bathrooms.

"Sit wherever you like."

"Sis, what’s this about?"

Fu Mingxue calling her ’Sis’ absolutely delighted Qin Wenying.

She really liked hearing it.

After all, Qin Wenhao had never called her sister, always calling her by her full name.

"Do you know anyone who speaks Russian?"

Fu Mingxue froze for a moment when she heard that.

"Russian? What for?"

"I have a book here about engines, but it’s in Russian. If you have a friend who speaks Russian, you could have them translate it for you."

Fu Mingxue was quite surprised.

’A book about engines?’

Her interest was instantly piqued.

"Let me see it."

Qin Wenying turned and pulled a rather thick book from the bag she’d brought with her.

"This is it. I saw it at a friend’s place and figured you’d be interested, so I brought it over."

She handed the book to Fu Mingxue.

Fu Mingxue took it and saw that the cover had been altered.

You couldn’t see what it originally looked like.

But when she opened it—it was entirely in Russian.

’Although this book isn’t as advanced as the ones in my dimensional space, it’s still good to read. After all, it’s an original foreign copy.’

When Qin Wenying saw that she couldn’t put it down, she knew she had brought the right book.

"You can understand it? I mean the Russian!"

"The book has diagrams, so it’s very easy to understand! And besides, I actually do know a little bit of Russian."

Qin Wenying: ...?

’Easy to understand? To me, it’s all Greek!’

Then it hit her, and she looked at Fu Mingxue in disbelief.

"How do you know Russian?"

It wasn’t that she looked down on Fu Mingxue.

It was just that... in the small town where Fu Mingxue lived, she wouldn’t have had any opportunity to come across Russian, would she?

"I taught myself this year," Fu Mingxue said vaguely.

’Actually, I don’t just know Russian; I know several other languages.’

’I learned them all in my past life.’

’In my past life, one of the three ungrateful children I’d raised had studied Russian.’

’So I could have something in common with that daughter and understand her, I secretly learned the language.’

’For this, I even bought a personal cassette player so I could listen while I worked.’

’My photographic memory made learning completely effortless. Even though I was older then, I still picked it up very quickly.’

Qin Wenying: ...?

’What does she mean, she taught herself this year?’

’Can someone really learn that fast?’

’Could it be that this is the biggest difference between a genius and a regular person? They can just teach themselves anything they want?’

’Tsk. That lucky bastard of a brother must have saved a country in his past life.’

"Sis, thank you! I’ll be taking this book, then."

"Take it. It was for you anyway." ’It’s all Greek to me; it would just collect dust if I kept it.’

"Well, I’ll head back now. You should come visit the military family housing when you have time."

"I definitely will. Come on, I’ll go downstairs with you."

The two of them went downstairs together.

Fu Mingxue didn’t linger. After saying goodbye to the Qin family, she left on her bicycle with the bag of things from Mrs. Qin.

After seeing her off, Qin Wenying prepared to head out.

Mrs. Qin quickly stopped her. "Where are you going with that crippled arm?"

The corner of Qin Wenying’s mouth twitched when she heard that.

’My arm is just injured. How is that ’crippled’?’
