Reborn in the 80s and Remarrying an Officer, Let the Ungrateful Cry! novel Chapter 212

Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Heavens, Pinch Her

Fu Mingxue returned home, carrying the hefty bonus that felt like it was burning a hole in her pocket.

Mrs. Fu was very surprised to see her get off work and come home at five o’clock.

After all, ever since her daughter started this job, she had never once gotten off work at a normal time during the day; she was always working overtime.

"Why are you back so early today? And you look so happy. Did something good happen?"

Suddenly, a thought struck her and her eyes lit up. "Are you pregnant?"

Fu Mingxue, who was in the middle of taking out the money, froze.

"Mom, what are you thinking! There’s no way I could be pregnant right now. Don’t even think about it for at least another four years."

"Besides, aren’t the two kids at home enough for you to look after?"

Mrs. Fu was dumbfounded.

"Don’t you go saying I don’t treat them like my own."

Fu Mingxue’s words thoroughly angered Mrs. Fu, and her face flushed red.

If the broom hadn’t been out in the yard, she would have been tempted to grab it and give her a good few whacks.

"What nonsense are you spouting? When have I ever not treated those two kids as my own? Can’t you watch what you say? If anyone else heard you—what would they think?"

Fu Mingxue immediately pantomimed zipping her lips. "I was just joking, I won’t say it again. By the way, I have some good news—I got paid."

The moment Mrs. Fu heard she got paid, the displeasure on her face vanished without a trace.

"You really got paid? How much? Is it really one hundred and thirty yuan?"

Her daughter had said last time that her salary was one hundred and thirty yuan.

But deep down—she still hadn’t really believed it.

’How could a salary possibly be that high?’

"Mom, it’s more than that. I worked for a month and got a total of one hundred and forty yuan. I started on the third, but the factory paid me for the full month. The extra ten yuan is a reward for daily overtime."

’Officially, our overtime is unpaid. What researcher doesn’t work late into the night?’

’There’s no such thing as overtime pay.’

’It’s just that the factory still gave everyone a ten-yuan subsidy.’

’That’s not a small amount, either. After all, a regular worker’s salary is only about thirty to thirty-five yuan.’
