Reborn in the 80s and Remarrying an Officer, Let the Ungrateful Cry! novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41: Chapter 41: This Is My New Son-in-law

The neighbors stared, dumbfounded, as the woman who’d claimed she’d had her bones broken took off at an astonishing speed.

"Her bones—they sure do heal fast!"

"My bones are fine, and I can’t even run that fast!"

"I can’t believe Bai Siqi is such a compulsive liar!"

"Heh, she’s Bai Chunsheng’s kid. What did you expect? I told you that mother and daughter pair were rotten to the core, but you all refused to believe me."

...

"Mingxue, your mom’s in as good a shape as ever! Just like when she was young, ha!"

Fu Mingxue was at a loss for words.

She enjoyed seeing her mom so full of life.

Terrified that Mrs. Fu would break down their door, Bai Siqi and her mother didn’t dare run home. Instead, they bolted toward the main street.

Mrs. Fu relentlessly chased the mother and daughter for two full streets.

The commotion drew out everyone who lived on the street to watch the bizarre spectacle.

Eldest Fu’s two sons, who had been planning to go and cause trouble for Fu Mingxue and her mother, happened to see their Second Aunt brandishing a rolling pin.

Seeing how ferocious their Second Aunt looked, they immediately chickened out.

"Good heavens, Second Aunt is too terrifying. Let’s just forget it—"

"—Forget it. We can’t afford to mess with her!"

The two brothers were in complete agreement—they were both terrified their furious Second Aunt would break their legs.

Mrs. Fu, however, kept up the chase at a steady, unhurried pace. Whenever she got close, she would deliberately slow down.

When they started to pull away, she would speed up again.

She was toying with them like a cat with a mouse!

However, as she passed the entrance to the supply and marketing cooperative, she suddenly screeched to a halt.

"S-Son-in-law?"

Qin Wenhao was just as surprised.

His gaze fell to the rolling pin in his mother-in-law’s hand, and the corner of his eye twitched almost imperceptibly.

"Mom, are you—"

Who was this young man?

And why was he carrying bag after bag into the Fu family’s home?

"Mingxue’s mom, is he a relative of yours?"

Mrs. Fu knew these people just loved to gossip and run their mouths.

To keep them from spreading all sorts of wild rumors, she announced directly:

"This is my son-in-law. He and my daughter just got their marriage certificate today. That’s right, my son-in-law is the fiancé Mingxue’s father arranged for her, and look, here he is today."

And it had to be said, with her son-in-law showing up carrying so many gifts—it gave her a great deal of face.

The neighbor who had asked, as well as the others who had been straining their ears to listen, were utterly shocked by Mrs. Fu’s words.

What? Mingxue’s fiancé? No—her husband, already officially married?

"—Why register the marriage so quickly?"

"My daughter is about to start college. If they don’t register now, they’ll have to wait forever, won’t they? Okay, I can’t stand here chatting. My son-in-law is here, I have to go start cooking."

The neighbors were speechless.
