When Fu Mingxue came out of the shower, she saw her two children sitting and playing by themselves.
After lunch, Mrs. Fu saw that the children’s fevers hadn’t returned. "Everything’s fine here," she told Fu Mingxue. "You should go to work."
Fu Mingxue thought for a moment. "Alright, I’ll head to work then. If their fevers come back this afternoon, give me a call."
She recited the factory’s phone number.
She had given her the number before, but she was worried her mom might have forgotten it.
Mrs. Fu said, "Alright, I got it. Now, hurry up and go."
"I won’t work overtime tonight, so I’ll be back early." Fu Mingxue then said goodbye to the twins. "You two stay home with Grandma, okay? If you get bored, you can look at your picture books—"
Mrs. Fu: ...?
’She was really worried her daughter was about to tell the children to start studying their characters.’
Fu Mingxue rode her bicycle to the factory.
Just as she was about to park her bicycle, she noticed someone near the bike shed looking left and right.
Fu Mingxue not only had good eyesight but also a sharp memory, so she immediately recognized the person as Gu Qingyun from yesterday.
’So, was this woman waiting to corner me?’
Just then, Gu Qingyun, who was waiting, saw her as well.
She immediately started walking over.
Because of her limp, she walked rather slowly. "Comrade Fu—"
Fu Mingxue finished parking her bicycle and looked at her. "Did you need something from me?"
Gu Qingyun nodded. "Yes. I called Qin Wenying yesterday. Her sister-in-law said she fought with her mother-in-law and left home."
Fu Mingxue was quite surprised to hear that. ’My sister-in-law fought with her mother-in-law?’
’And she even ran away from home?’
Gu Qingyun glanced at Fu Mingxue and continued, "The sister-in-law said they had a really nasty fight."
Fu Mingxue’s expression didn’t change, but inwardly she was at a loss for words.
’Does that sister-in-law have such a big mouth?’
’Some random person calls, and without even knowing who they are, she just spills the family secrets?’
’To put it nicely, you could call her sincere.’
