Mrs. Fu’s mouth twitched.
’She sure has some nerve.’
"I’m really sorry about that, but my daughter’s was made for her by the factory."
"Besides, this isn’t about money at all. As you know, things from the engine factory can’t just be made for anyone. That would be against factory regulations."
"Oh, you can’t do that? Then can we buy one from the factory? Any price is fine."
Mrs. Fu was speechless.
’What does she mean, any price is fine?’
’Is she trying to play the big shot in front of me?’
"The factory has a confidentiality agreement, so we can’t just make them for others. If you really want one, you’ll have to wait. Maybe one day, the motor factory will put them up for sale in the supply and marketing co-op. You can buy one then. But right now, it’s impossible. You’re asking for the impossible, and my daughter could lose her job over it!"
Sister-in-law Liu was speechless.
’She didn’t believe a word of it.’
’If the rules were really that strict, how did Fu Mingxue get one?’
’And fine, if you don’t want to help, just say so. But to even say I’m asking for the impossible...’
Suppressing her dissatisfaction, she persisted, "Is it really impossible? How about I go with Mingxue to her factory and ask?"
Mrs. Fu’s expression darkened. "That’s absolutely not possible. My daughter’s workplace forbids family members from entering the factory. Otherwise, I, her own mother, would have gone. A stranger like you has even less of a chance."
"Sister-in-law Liu, as for that bicycle of yours, you’re better off just riding it yourself. After all, pedaling every day is good exercise."
’Stop staring at what other people have all day long—wanting everything you see.’
’If someone else flew to the sky, would she want to do that too?’
Sister-in-law Liu’s expression began to crumble.
’She felt that Fu Mingxue’s mother was being too harsh.’
