Seeing how eager she was, Mrs. Hao was absolutely fuming.
"I had a tooth knocked out, and it was all because of you. Aren’t you going to pay to get it fixed?"
Cui Meihong’s expression stiffened.
Mrs. Hao held out her hand. "I won’t ask for much. Just give me another ten yuan, and I’ll never mention this again."
Cui Meihong gritted her teeth but agreed.
She handed over another ten yuan.
Only then was Mrs. Hao satisfied.
She put the money away and snorted coldly. "You’re a real ungrateful wretch. Let’s see who’s going to watch your two kids for you after I leave."
Cui Meihong had already figured it out.
Her son could go to preschool.
As for her daughter—there were plenty of people in the family courtyard with free time. If she offered five yuan, someone would be more than willing to watch her child.
If the auntie next door was willing to watch both children, she could offer eight yuan.
She mulled it over. ’I should find some time to go ask her...’
When Mrs. Hao saw she wasn’t saying anything, she assumed Cui Meihong was regretting it.
She sneered, "It’s too late even if you don’t want me to go now. I’d rather go home than look at your jinxed face."
’Just like that husband-jinx next door—neither of them is any good.’
’Hah. Especially the one next door.’
’Her man is still in the hospital, but what does this mother-daughter pair do? They take advantage of him being away to feast at home, slaughtering a chicken for soup first thing in the morning.’
’Hope they don’t choke on it.’
’What a piece of work. Men are so blind.’

Fu Mingxue had no idea that the wicked mother-in-law next door was finally about to leave.
She quickly finished her breakfast.
"Mom, how about this? You stay here for now. I’ll go to my unit to request some time off, and then I’ll come back to get you."
Mrs. Fu had wanted to go with her, but when she heard this, she immediately said, "Don’t bother coming back for me. I’ll borrow a bike from Sister Wang next door and go myself. Just tell me his room number."
"I don’t know which room he’s in yet. Why don’t you just wait for me at home?"
