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

Chapter 5 The matchmaker comes to visit
"Let's go back to your place first and talk about it then." Song Yan's expression wasn't good.

Upon hearing Song Yan's words, Bai Siqi could only suppress her overwhelming panic.

After the two arrived at Bai Siqi's residence, Bai Siqi anxiously questioned, "Didn't you go to rescue Fu Mingxue? What happened?"

She was just a hair's breadth away from receiving Fu Mingxue's acceptance letter.

Unexpectedly, the admission notice that had just been handed to him was snatched away by Fu Mingxue, who rushed back.

The thought of this made her so angry she felt like she was going to vomit blood.

Song Yan's expression was grim: "She swam ashore by herself—"

Bai Siqi screamed uncontrollably, "Impossible! She can't swim at all, how could she swim ashore by herself?"

Song Yan immediately pressed his hands against her shoulders: "Calm down—"

Bai Siqi's eyes reddened, and she cried out in despair, "How can I calm down? Without this university acceptance letter, I can't go to university!"

She did indeed go to take the college entrance examination.

But she didn't expect it to be so difficult; with the scores she had, she probably wouldn't even be able to get into a vocational college.

Therefore, she had long been planning to set her sights on Fu Mingxue.

I never imagined that all my planning would come to nothing!
Seeing her like this, Song Yan felt heartbroken and immediately hugged her. "Siqi, don't be sad. I'll make her give you her university acceptance letter!"

Bai Siqi looked up with teary eyes, "Really?"

Song Yan nodded and solemnly promised, "Of course it's true! I'll make her willingly give you her university acceptance letter!"

──
Fu Mingxue sneezed as she came out drying her hair after taking a hot shower.

This worried Fu's mother terribly.

"Mingxue, come quickly, drink some ginger tea that Mom made for you."

Fu Mingxue was not at all surprised that her mother did not call the police.

She took the bowl of ginger tea and drank it all in one go.

And I must say, after drinking it, my body did feel much warmer.

"Mingxue, tell Mom what happened in detail!" Fu Mingxue briefly recounted how she was kicked into the water, how Song Yan came to her rescue, and how she managed to snatch back the admission notice.

Mother Fu was furious when she heard this. She gritted her teeth and said, "That Bai Siqi, she's really vicious."

"However, calling the police won't work. If she tries to argue her way out of it, this will cause trouble and affect your studies in college."

"But we can't just let her go like this. I'm going to find her now."

Fu Mingxue immediately said, "I'll go with you—"

Fu's mother wouldn't let her come along. "You stay at home. I can manage on my own."

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.

The mother and daughter exchanged a glance, and then the mother said, "Don't go out yet, I'll go check on things."

Fu Mingxue looked at her mother with eyes full of tenderness.

In her past life, her mother had lived alone ever since she got married, and even though she lived nearby, she couldn't take good care of her.

The fact that she had a paralyzed mother-in-law and three energetic children at home was enough to keep her busy all day long, leaving her no time to rest.

In this life, she vowed to make sure her mother could truly enjoy a peaceful and happy life.

When Madam Fu opened the door, she was surprised to see the matchmaker.

Before she could speak, the matchmaker grinned and congratulated her: "Sister-in-law, congratulations! I'm here to ask for your daughter Mingxue's hand in marriage on behalf of Song Yan."

Madam Fu originally had a good impression of Song Yan, after all, he was good-looking and promising young.

Even so, she would not allow her daughter to marry into the Song family.

After all, the Song family is just a burden.

Three very young children, plus a paralyzed mother.

What is this if not a pit of fire?
His face immediately fell: "My daughter isn't thinking about marriage right now; she's going to university."
