Chapter 586: What, Her Daughter Is the Leader?

Fu Mingxue suddenly remembered something and immediately pulled a wad of cash from her pocket.

"Here’s a thousand. Take it."

With her leaving, the family might need the money.

"No need for so much. I’ll just take two hundred; that’s more than enough. If it’s not enough, Mom has some."

Fu Mingxue: ...?

’You really are a mama’s boy.’

’How old is he? And he’s still got his eye on her money.’

Just then, Qin Wenhao counted out two hundred and was about to give the rest back to his wife.

"Don’t give it to me. Just give the rest to my mom."

"—Alright then." This time, Qin Wenhao didn’t refuse.

After all, his mother-in-law was running the household. With his wife leaving, she would be the one covering all the family’s expenses.

So, his mother-in-law needed to have money on hand.

When Fu Mingxue came out, she saw her mom talking to Chang Qingze.

"Group Leader Chang."

When she called out, Chang Qingze quickly responded, "Group Leader Fu, we can leave now."

"Mingxue, your group leader is a really nice man. And he lives around here, too."

Mrs. Fu was delighted. She assumed the older man, Chang Qingze, was her daughter’s direct superior.

Most importantly, this Group Leader Chang also lived nearby.

The Chang family’s home... it didn’t seem to be too far away.

Just at the other end of the lane.

Chang Qingze immediately realized that Mrs. Fu had misunderstood.

He immediately clarified, "Group Leader Fu is our group leader. I’m the deputy."

Mrs. Fu: ...?

’Huh? What did he mean by that?’

’Was he saying her daughter was the leader?’

This left her completely baffled.

Fu Mingxue, however, had no intention of explaining it to her mom just then.

"Mom, I’m heading out now."

"Bye-bye, Mommy!" The two children couldn’t bear to see their mother go.

Their eyes were brimming with tears.

Seeing them like this, Fu Mingxue’s heart ached with reluctance.

"Now, you two be sure to listen to Grandma, okay? Mommy will bring back presents for you when I return."

With that, she turned to Chang Qingze and said, "Let’s go!"

She headed for the door, and Qin Wenhao helped carry her suitcase out.

Chang Qingze quickly said goodbye to Mrs. Fu before following them out.

Mrs. Fu followed them out with the two children.

She watched her daughter get into the car, and just like that, it drove away.

At that moment, the two children burst into tears.

"Mommy—"

"Mommy—"

Fu Mingxue, inside the car, heard them.

She stuck her head out the window and waved.

Chang Qingze witnessed the emotional farewell.

"Group Leader Fu, your children are very bright!"

’And good-looking, too.’

"They are," Fu Mingxue agreed with a nod.

’She also thought her children were quite clever.’

Once the car was out of sight, Mrs. Fu coaxed the two crying children back into the courtyard.

Qin Wenhao lingered outside for a moment before closing the gate and heading into the courtyard.

He walked into the main room and saw that the children had already gone back to their own room.

His mother-in-law was the only one there.

He immediately pulled the eight hundred from his pocket.

"Mom, Mingxue left this money for you."

Mrs. Fu didn’t take it. "Why is that girl giving me so much money? I have plenty. Didn’t she just buy a house? She should keep more for herself."

"She has enough, Mom. You should take it. The Lunar New Year is just around the corner, and there will be a lot of expenses."

"I have money, you don’t need to give it to me. You keep it. You have plenty of your own expenses, and you can’t go without cash."

But Mrs. Fu absolutely refused.

She knew her son-in-law gave all his money to her daughter.

’He can’t have much on him.’
