Chapter 657: Truly Remarkable

Fu Mingxue thought about it. ’No, probably not.’

After all, her mother-in-law didn’t seem like such an unreasonable person.

What’s more, the money wasn’t just squandered on something else; it was used to buy a house.

She’d probably even be happy about it.

Fu Mingxue really wanted to ask her how she’d managed to get the money from her mother-in-law.

But she felt the question was a bit too forward, so she swallowed her words.

Instead, she asked, "So when do you plan on telling Mom about your house?"

Qin Wenying said with a grin, "I’ll tell her when I get back later. I was planning on telling her today anyway. All right, let’s go tour the house! I think it’s fantastic. Also, if you see any furniture or anything else you like, you can take it."

Fu Mingxue: ...?

’Even if I did like something, I can’t just take the furniture, can I?’

However, after taking a look around, she had to admit the house was truly wonderful.

"Wen Ying, you got such a great deal on this house. They even left you all this mahogany furniture. And it’s all practically new."

"Right? I think it’s fantastic too! The previous owner was very tidy. I barely have to do any heavy cleaning."

"In the future, after Yu Yu gets married, I can have my mom and dad move in with me. It’ll be so lively over here then."

Fu Mingxue nodded. "That’s a great idea. Our two homes are really close."

After looking around, she saw the layout of the house was quite similar to her own two courtyard homes.

This one, however, had a more antique, classical charm.

Qin Wenying was also very happy.

After the two of them finished touring the house, they went next door.

Mrs. Fu was very happy to see them return.

Although they were right next door, the courtyard homes still had their own surrounding walls.

So, if you spoke quietly, it wasn’t easy to be overheard.

"Wen Ying, you’re here! You should stay for dinner—"

Qin Wenying certainly didn’t act like a guest.

"Auntie, I’m craving your homemade dumplings!"

When Mrs. Fu heard this, she was delighted. "You want dumplings? That’s easy! Auntie will make some for you right now."

Qin Wenying said sweetly, "Thank you, Auntie. You’re just too good to me!"

Mrs. Fu was overjoyed.

She immediately bustled off to the kitchen.

Just then, the two little ones came running out.

"Mommy!"

Fu Mingxue bent down to pick them up.

This time, however, little Qin Hao took a step back. "Mommy, I’m a big boy now and I’m heavy. Mommy can just carry my sister!"

Qin Wenying was surprised. "Oh my, this little guy is so considerate."

’This little guy’s communication skills are really quite good.’

’He’s not even three years old yet!’

’It’s really quite remarkable.’

She beckoned to the little one. "Come to Auntie, I’ll hold you."

Qin Hao flatly refused. "No."

Qin Wenying: ...?

Then, Qin Hao thoughtfully added, "Auntie is hurt, so you can’t carry me."

Qin Wenying was instantly touched.

’How can this little guy be so thoughtful?’

Just then, Fu Mingxue scooped up both children, one in each arm.

"Mommy is a strongwoman! I’ll be able to carry you both until you’re five."

The two little ones were delighted.

Watching the joyful expressions on the mother and her two children, Qin Wenying felt a surge of warmth.

’Such a beautiful bond between mother and children—it would be infuriating if anyone tried to ruin it.’

The two adults and two children sat in the courtyard, chatting.

The two little ones were very well-behaved and didn’t run off to play elsewhere.

Mrs. Fu didn’t need any help. Luckily, she had meat and flour at home.

In no time at all, she had finished mincing the meat for the filling all by herself.
