Chapter 94: This Will Also Be My Room From Now On
Once Mrs. Qin left, Mrs. Fu remarked to Fu Mingxue, "Your mother-in-law seems very easy to get along with. She’s a nice person."
She was genuinely happy for her daughter.
An easy-going mother-in-law is better than anything.
’A mother-in-law who causes trouble can make your life a complete mess, no matter how good your husband is. Nothing would go smoothly.’
"She does seem nice, but Qin Wenhao’s family also has a sister-in-law who’s a real handful. It doesn’t matter, though. We won’t be living together anyway."
When Mrs. Fu heard there was also a troublesome sister-in-law, her brow furrowed.
But then she thought, ’My daughter won’t actually have to live with that sister-in-law, which will make things much simpler.’
"How are the two children? Are they hungry? I’ll go make them something to eat—"
"Mom, you hold them for now. I’ll go get them some formula."
"Alright, there’s hot water in the thermos." Mrs. Fu didn’t think too much about where the formula came from.
She just assumed her son-in-law had brought it over earlier.
Fu Mingxue first returned to her room, then took out the formula and two baby bottles from her space.
Then she went to the kitchen and scalded them clean with hot water.
──
The two children had never had formula before, but they started drinking it after Qin Wenhao adopted them.
They really liked drinking formula.
Mrs. Fu had only raised one daughter, Fu Mingxue. Now, holding these two children who were over a year old, her heart was about to melt.
When Qin Wenhao returned, the two little ones had drunk their formula and fallen asleep.
He didn’t see the children, and he didn’t ask.
He knew Fu Mingxue would take good care of them.
"Why did you buy so many groceries?" Fu Mingxue was a little shocked to see how much he was carrying.
Just then, Qin Wenshu also came in, and he was carrying quite a bit too.
"Sister-in-law, are you running low on firewood? Brother Wenhuo and I will bring some over for you in a bit. And coal briquettes, we’ll bring more of those over for you too."
These were exactly what Fu Mingxue needed.
"Okay, that would be a great help."
Qin Wenshu waved his hand with a grin, "No trouble at all!"
Mrs. Fu said, "You both have to stay for lunch."
Just as Qin Wenshu was about to refuse, he saw that his cousin had already accepted for him.
"Alright."
Mrs. Fu was very happy.
She saw they had also bought a chicken and immediately decided to butcher it and stew it for lunch.
Qin Wenhao and Qin Wenshu made two more trips, bringing over the chopped firewood and coal briquettes.
And stacked them neatly in a corner of the yard.
At noon, Mrs. Fu prepared a table full of dishes.
Qin Wenshu ate with great gusto. "Auntie, I had no idea you were such an amazing cook! This is way better than my mom’s cooking."
Mrs. Fu was very pleased. "It’s just some home-style cooking. If you like it, eat up."
After the meal, Qin Wenhao went to clear the dishes, but Mrs. Fu pushed him right out of the way.
"I’m here, how could I let you do that? The children seem to be waking up. Go check on them."
Qin Wenshu took his leave.
"Auntie, I’ll be going then."
"Alright, come again next time."
"Okay!"
Qin Wenshu left.
Qin Wenhao, however, went to Fu Mingxue’s room.
Because the two children had been put to sleep on the bed in her room.
He looked at the room, a little surprised. It was very well-decorated, not at all like it had been hastily set up yesterday.
Just then, Fu Mingxue walked in. "So, what do you think? My room’s not too bad, right?"
Qin Wenhao nodded. "It’s very nice. But you just said something wrong—"
Fu Mingxue: "...?"
Qin Wenhao looked at her very seriously. "From now on, this is my room too!"
