Reborn in the 1980s, remarried and followed a soldier, the ungrateful wretch cried with regret.

Chapter 16 The Domineering Old Lady Arrives

The crowd was in an uproar.

Murder and death?

That's a huge deal.

Instantly, they stopped discussing and paying attention to the eight hundred; their focus was entirely on the murder case.

Good heavens, who is so cruel as to want to kill Fu Mingxue?
Instantly, they thought of the Bai family mother and daughter from earlier—if they were to talk about enemies, wouldn't it be the Bai family?

That gives me a motive!

Tang Qiang spoke up at the opportune moment: "Dear neighbors, if anyone sees someone pushing Fu Mingxue, please report it to the police station. We will offer a reward!"

When everyone heard about the paid reward, their eyes lit up.

At this moment, Fu Mingxue came out.

"Officer Tang, this is my clothes. Please take it and check if there are any fingerprints left on it."

Tang Qiang took the clothes and nodded. "Okay, we'll investigate. If you remember any other clues, come to our police station. Also, please be careful tonight."

Safety reminders are very necessary.

If someone really pushed her into the river, even if they didn't want to kill her before, they might want to kill her now.

Madam Fu was shocked: "What? They're still so arrogant as to try and kill us? Is there anything we can do?"

"There's no need to worry too much, it's just speculation. Alright, I'll head back now."

Tang Qiang and his colleagues left immediately.

Fu's mother and Fu Mingxue ignored the neighbors outside and went back to their courtyard after closing the gate.

"Mom, don't worry too much—"

Mother Fu rolled her eyes: "What am I worried about? If those people really dare to come, I'll break their legs."

Fu Mingxue: ...?
Aren't you worried? You were just shouting loudly outside.

Mother Fu did not explain.

She immediately changed the subject, saying, "You should deposit this 800 yuan; you can use it when you go to college."

When the topic of money came up, Fu Mingxue immediately took out a wad of cash, counted out two hundred, and said, "Mom, take these two hundred—"

Fu's mother glared at her. "What are you taking? I get a salary every month, why would I need your money? You can keep it yourself." She worked in a cotton mill, which was tiring, but she earned at least thirty yuan a month.

Even if her mother-in-law takes five yuan, she'll still have twenty-five left.

If you're careful with your spending, it'll still be enough to get by.

"By the way, you'd better deposit this money quickly, otherwise that old lady will come knocking on your door demanding it. That bitch Qu Hongdan just now, she deliberately said it was that much money."

Thinking about this, Fu's mother gritted her teeth.

"You can't give the money to your grandma."

"Mom, am I that stupid?"

Fu's mother gave her a disapproving look, her expression conveying nothing.

"After all this commotion, I need to go cook. It's a good thing I'm off today, otherwise, with so many things happening, you wouldn't have been able to handle it all."

After saying that, she went to the kitchen.

Fu Mingxue looked at the busy figures in the small kitchen, and her eyes reddened.

It's so good to be reborn!

She can finally treat her mother well for the rest of her life.

If only her mother could go to Beijing with her.

But she knew it was impossible.

The Fu family has been eyeing this house covetously.

If the mother and daughter both leave, then the old lady will have a reason to move in.

Her mother would never give the house to the old lady and her family—once they move in, it will be very difficult to kick them out.

──
Grandma Fu arrived even faster than expected.

"Open the door, open the door quickly—"

The door was pounded on loudly, and Old Lady Fu's distinctively loud voice was so loud it could pierce one's eardrums.
