Chapter 613: Get to Show Off

The electric tricycle drew a great many stares the moment it appeared.

Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Fu were both delighted.

The envious gazes from the crowd made them feel quite smug—after all, no one else had this new model.

What’s more, this new model had been personally designed by their daughter and daughter-in-law.

The factory director himself had made a special trip to deliver it.

These were the kind of bragging rights that would last them a lifetime.

The twins were overjoyed, too.

’This little cart is so cool! Now we can go out with Grandma!’

Mrs. Fu bought her vegetables and loaded them onto the tricycle.

Many people came up to ask about the tricycle when they saw it.

Mrs. Fu didn’t say much, only that it was a new product from the factory and would be on sale before long.

Gao Lan happened to be passing by. At first, she paid no mind to the large crowd that had gathered.

Until she saw her mother-in-law.

Her eyes immediately went wide.

Without a second thought, she squeezed her way through the crowd.

Then she saw her mother-in-law standing beside the brand-new tricycle.

"Mom, what are you doing here?"

Mrs. Qin had been beaming, but her smile faltered slightly the moment she saw Gao Lan.

"I’m helping Mrs. Fu with her shopping!"

Gao Lan looked at the twins on the tricycle, then at Mrs. Fu sitting in the driver’s seat.

She was shocked. "This tricycle is...?"

Mrs. Fu hadn’t expected to run into Qin Wenhao’s sister-in-law here, either. She stated immediately, "My daughter bought it for me."

Gao Lan: ...?

It was the first time she had ever seen a tricycle like this.

’How could Fu Mingxue be the one who bought it?’

’First she buys a house, now this tricycle... Where is she getting all this money?’

’Even if her monthly salary is seventy or eighty yuan!’

’Add in Qin Wenhao’s stipend, and the two of them pull in one-thirty, one-forty a month at most!’

’Where do they get so much money to blow like this?’

’Isn’t it the Qin family that’s subsidizing them?’

Seeing the nasty look on Gao Lan’s face, Mrs. Fu knew that Qin Wenhao’s sister-in-law was definitely letting her imagination run wild again.

To be honest, she didn’t want to deal with Qin Wenhao’s sister-in-law at all.

So she said, "Alright, it’s getting late, we need to head back. Come on, hop on."

"Okay." Mrs. Qin climbed on.

Then Mrs. Fu shouted to the crowd, "Make way, everyone! We’re heading home now."

Hearing this, the crowd parted to clear a path for them.

With a ZOOOOOM, Mrs. Fu’s little tricycle shot forward.

"Good heavens, that tricycle is really something. You don’t even have to pedal."

"It must’ve cost a fortune."

"Yeah, but carrying kids and groceries in the back is way more convenient than on a bicycle."

...

The crowd chattered amongst themselves, one person’s comment following another’s.

Standing off to the side, Gao Lan’s face nearly twisted in a grimace as she listened.

’By what right—’

’By what right?!’

Meanwhile, Mrs. Fu drove the tricycle to take Mrs. Qin back to the Qin Family Mansion.

"Why don’t you stay for lunch?" Mrs. Qin offered.

"No, it’s fine. I’ll make lunch at home. I’ve still got a pile of laundry to do!"

"Then leave the two children here—"

Before Mrs. Qin could even finish, the twins started shaking their heads like rattle-drums.

"Grandma, we want to go home."

"We want to go back with our other grandma."

’They wanted to keep riding the little cart.’

’They still preferred being with their maternal grandma.’

Mrs. Qin: ...?

Mrs. Fu chuckled. "I’ll bring them over next time. For now, I think the novelty of the tricycle has captured their hearts!"

Mrs. Qin figured that made sense.

Children always have a keen interest in new things.

Especially something like riding this tricycle.

’Heck, forget the kids—she was fascinated by it, too.’

"All right, then. Next time you visit, Grandma will make you something delicious."

Mrs. Fu had the two children say goodbye to their grandma, then drove off in the tricycle—
