Chapter 425: Left

"Sis, stop training and come have breakfast."

’With such strong willpower and self-discipline, she could succeed at anything,’ Fu Mingxue thought.

’Sure enough, this is when a woman is at her most beautiful.’

"You go ahead and eat. I’ll be right there."

Qin Wenying said as much,

so Fu Mingxue let her be.

After all, everyone had their own rhythm in life.

She quite liked this easygoing and natural side of her sister-in-law.

It showed she didn’t see herself as an outsider.

Breakfast was small wontons and meat-filled buns.

Just as she picked up her chopsticks, Qin Wenying came over.

"Auntie, the seasoning in these wontons is perfect. And these meat buns are delicious too."

Mrs. Fu beamed. "If you like them, eat up!"

"Are you going to my factory today?" Fu Mingxue asked.

Qin Wenying shook her head. "No, I’m heading back today."

Fu Mingxue was taken by surprise. "Didn’t you say you were going to stay for a few more days?"

Mrs. Fu also looked at Qin Wenying, worried that her hospitality had been lacking in some way.

"I have some business to take care of before I return to my unit, so I can’t stay."

Qin Wenying and Qin Wenhao were not in the same military region.

"Have you bought your train ticket then?"

"I don’t need to. Someone is coming to pick me up."

Hearing this, Mrs. Fu understood it wasn’t a matter of her being uncomfortable; the girl really did have business to attend to.

"Then be careful with your hand." A thought suddenly occurred to Fu Mingxue—since Qin Wenying was here, she should call her mother-in-law to let her know so she wouldn’t worry.

"I’ll call Mom this morning and let her know you’re safe."

The hand Qin Wenying was holding her chopsticks with paused. "—No need. I can call her myself."

Fu Mingxue glanced at her.

She didn’t pursue the matter.

’Adults don’t need others getting too involved in their lives; they know what they’re doing.’

’Even between people, even between sisters-in-law—you have to maintain a sense of boundaries.’

"Alright. I’m heading to work then!"

"Okay! I’ll come again when I have time."

"You’re always welcome!"

After Fu Mingxue left for work,

it wasn’t long before Qin Wenying also said her goodbyes to Mrs. Fu.

"Auntie, I’m off! I’ll come visit again when I have time."

Mrs. Fu had grown quite fond of her.

She immediately said, "Then I’ll be waiting for you!"

Qin Wenying said okay, shouldered her backpack, and left.

Mrs. Fu watched until she was out of sight before closing the door.

First, she had to tidy up the kitchen.

Then, she had to clean the room Qin Wenying had slept in. After all, now that she was gone, some things had to be put away.

When she entered the room, she found the bedsheets had been folded into a perfect "tofu block," exceptionally neat.

It was a world away from the messy way her own daughter folded her blankets.

The room was even cleaner than it had been before she swept—

When Fu Mingxue arrived at the factory, she first got busy with her work.

It wasn’t until almost noon that she remembered about Master Yang.

So, she went to the workshop to see if he was there.

This time, Master Yang was indeed there.

Fu Mingxue was quite happy to see him.

"Master Yang, how’s your hand?"

"It was a little inflamed for a couple of days, but it’s fine now."

"I’m glad you’re okay. By the way, why aren’t you resting at home for a few more days? An injury like that needs to heal properly."

’With one hand injured, he only has one good one left. He can’t possibly work like this!’

Master Yang said, "I’d just be idle at home anyway. I’m going to spend the next few days training two apprentices. Right, let me introduce you. This is Xiao Yang, and that’s Xiao Song. As of today, they’ll be studying under me."
