Chapter 391: Mrs. Fu Suspects Her Daughter Has Worked Herself Silly

Fu Mingxue was very happy to see how much the little ones loved their gifts.

She reached out and patted their heads. "I’m glad you like them. Now, go on and play!"

’The system is really good to these two kids.’

’It never forgets to give them a share of the rewards.’

’Still, seeing how happy they were, she felt it was worth it.’

With their beloved new toys in hand, the two little ones went off to examine them.

Seeing this, Fu Mingxue went back to her room to unpack.

She took out the large package her mother-in-law had given her.

’I won’t open this one. I’ll let Mom open it herself later.’

Just then, she suddenly remembered the mysterious-looking letter her sister-in-law had given her.

’She’d actually forgotten all about it on the train.’

So, she went back to her room, took out the letter, and opened it—

As she was about to pull out the letter, she was surprised to find a money order slip.

The amount on it was two thousand.

Fu Mingxue stared at the money order slip, completely astonished.

’What did her sister-in-law mean by this?’

Her gaze fell upon the letter inside.

The contents were brief. It simply instructed her to withdraw the money and give it to someone at her factory named Gu Qingyun.

This only made Fu Mingxue more confused.

’Who is this Gu Qingyun? Someone from her factory?’

’And what was her sister-in-law’s relationship with this Gu Qingyun?’

’Why did she have to be so secretive about it?’

’She didn’t get it.’

Just then, her mother’s loud voice echoed from outside.

"Mingxue, time to eat!"

Fu Mingxue was truly hungry.

After all, she hadn’t eaten properly during her three days on the train.

She put the letter and the money order slip back into the envelope, then stored it away in her space.

She walked out. "Mom, what’s for dinner? How did you finish cooking so quickly?"

"Dumplings. I made them earlier, so of course it’s fast just to boil them."

Mrs. Fu carried two large bowls of dumplings to the table in the main room.

"You eat first. Both of these bowls are for you. I’ll get the little ones’ food ready."

Fu Mingxue had really missed her mom’s cooking lately.

Ever since Qin Wenhao had left, she usually ate at a cafeteria.

Either the school cafeteria or the research institute’s cafeteria.

To be honest, the cafeteria food couldn’t compare to Qin Wenhao’s cooking.

Her mother and Qin Wenhao had spoiled her palate.

She dipped a dumpling in the sauce her mother had mixed.

After serving the two children their dumplings, Mrs. Fu lifted them into their respective high chairs to eat.

The two children were so well-behaved that she didn’t need to supervise them as they ate.

She brought her own portion from the kitchen and sat down at the table.

"Is that enough? There’s more in the kitchen if you’re still hungry."

"It’s enough." Just then, Fu Mingxue remembered something.

’I can give Mom the Constitution Pill I saved for her.’

’With something this good, the sooner she takes it, the better.’

’After all, she’d taken one herself, and it was incredibly effective.’

She retrieved it from her space, using her pocket to conceal the action.

"Mom, here, take this. It’s something really good."

Mrs. Fu was just about to eat a dumpling when she heard that her daughter had something good for her.

She instinctively looked up.

When she saw her daughter holding a small, white pill in her hand,

she was shocked.

"I’m not sick. Why are you giving me medicine for no reason?"

’Has this trip tired her brain out or something?’

"Mom, this really is good stuff. I’ve taken one too. It strengthens your constitution so you won’t have an aching back after working."

Mrs. Fu: ...?

"Which charlatan scammed you into buying this? How much did you spend?"

"Mom, it was free—"

Before Fu Mingxue could finish, Mrs. Fu cut her off with a sneer. "How can anything free be any good? Forget it. I’m not taking it. I’m perfectly healthy!"
