Chapter 72 Happy New Year, Daughter-in-Law
Fu Mingxue shrank back slightly after being yelled at.

"Mom, don't yell! I was just thinking that since your son-in-law is here, I should give him a good boost. Look how skinny he is—"

Qin Wenhuo, who had just pushed open the gate and entered the courtyard, happened to hear these words and couldn't help but look at his young wife.

Fu Mingxue also heard the door open and instinctively looked over.

Then her eyes met Qin Wenhuo's.

Fu Mingxue: ...?
What a coincidence! How much did you hear?

Looking into his deep black eyes—unsurprisingly, he must have heard everything.

An awkward chuckle followed by a quick averted look.

Mother Fu also saw her son-in-law return.

She couldn't bring herself to retaliate against her daughter.

"Son-in-law, you're back."

Then my gaze fell on his hand, and I saw that he was holding a chicken.

"Son-in-law, why did you buy this too?"

Qin Wenhuo calmly stepped forward and said, "Mingxue is a bit thin. I'll buy her a chicken to help her get some nutrition. After all, she's a student and it takes a lot of brainpower."

Fu Mingxue: ...?
Mother Fu immediately beamed and said, "Oh dear, son-in-law, you're right. She's not very bright—I mean, studying really takes a toll on her brain. Look at you two, you're thinking of her, and she's thinking of you. That's how a young couple should be."

Fu Mingxue: ...?
Qin Wenhuo: ...

He glanced at his young wife and saw her blank expression—a slight smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

He immediately looked away and said, "Mom, I'll go kill her."

"Okay." Madam Fu quickly added, "Just kill one."

We can't finish this one.

We'll take the other one to Beijing then.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and put this chicken in the coop, and then go help boil some water."

Fu Mingxue: ...?
She felt that ever since Qin Wenhuo came to live in this house, he had become her mother's biological son.

This is New Year's Eve.

Not only did Fu's mother prepare a lot of dishes, she also made dumplings.

A huge table of dishes—this was the most sumptuous New Year's celebration the mother and daughter had ever had.

Mother Fu placed a large chicken leg on Qin Wenhuo's plate. "Son-in-law, come on, eat more. You've worked hard today." "Mom, I can eat by myself. You eat too. You're the one who worked the hardest today."

Qin Wenhuo has a cold appearance, but his words are anything but cold.

His words made Mrs. Fu very happy.

The three of them cleaned up together after eating, and then stayed up all night until midnight.

To be honest, this was Qin Wenhuo's first time staying up all night on New Year's Eve, and it felt quite novel.

When they were going back to the room, Qin Wenhuo called out to Fu Mingxue.

"Wife—"

That call of "daughter-in-law" gave Fu Mingxue goosebumps.

"Do, what should I do?"

"Here you go. Happy New Year!" Qin Wenhuo handed over a red envelope.

Fu Mingxue took it in a daze.

Before she could open it, Qin Wenhuo had already gone into his own room.

Fu Mingxue squeezed the red paper packet; it was quite thick.

Good heavens, is he giving her New Year's money?

I quickly returned to my room and excitedly opened the red paper package—it contained two hundred dollars!

Holding the money, she felt extremely conflicted.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Fu Mingxue was the last one in the family to get up.

When she got up, she didn't see her mother.

All that could be seen was Qin Wenhuo sweeping the floor.

Thinking of the New Year's money he gave me last night, I smiled and said, "Good morning, honey!"

This shout had a significant effect, freezing Qin Wenhuo in place.

He almost dropped the broom in his hand.

By the time he looked at the culprit, the person had already finished flirting and left, leaving him only with their back view.

Qin Wenhuo's eyes darkened—
