Mrs. Fu hadn’t heard her daughter come home last night.
She had fallen asleep after a while.
So she just assumed her daughter had come back so late that she had already fallen asleep waiting up.
In the morning, figuring she had come home so late, Mrs. Fu decided not to wake her.
She was even quiet while making breakfast and sweeping the yard.
But now it was half past seven, and she still wasn’t up.
At this, Mrs. Fu grew anxious.
’How could she possibly sleep in so late?’
’Could she be sick?’
At this thought, she quickly put down her work and went to knock on the bedroom door. "Mingxue, are you up? Mingxue?"
Normally, there would have been an answer, but there wasn’t a single sound from inside.
’Could she be... unconscious?’
The thought sent Mrs. Fu into a panic, and she quickly pushed the door—
As it turned out, the door wasn’t even latched.
And on the bed, the quilt was neatly folded.
Obviously, no one had slept in the bed last night.
Mrs. Fu paused.
’Well, that was a false alarm.’
Suddenly, a thought occurred to her. She walked out to the yard—and sure enough, the bicycle wasn’t there.
Mrs. Fu was bewildered.
’I must be really out of it. How did I not even notice that big bicycle was missing?’
’Wait, if she didn’t come home last night, where did my daughter sleep?’
’She didn’t really work all night, did she?’
She couldn’t help but sigh. ’The pay is high, but this is just too hard on her!’
’She’s so busy, she hasn’t had a single proper day to rest.’
Fu Mingxue returned home.
She saw her mom washing bedsheets, while the two little ones were squatting in the yard, playing.
"Mom, I’m home!"
Hearing her, Mrs. Fu immediately dropped the wet bedsheet.
"You’re back now? Did you work overtime all night?"
