Reborn in the 80s and Remarrying an Officer, Let the Ungrateful Cry! novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116: Chapter 116: I’m Going to Find My Son-in-law?

I have to accept. I absolutely have to.

Never mind the courtyard home that would one day be worth over a hundred million.

What interested her most was the complete set of physics books.

A reward from the system was definitely something that couldn’t be found on the market.

Something like that was priceless.

Suppressing her rapidly beating heart, her eyes darted as she schemed.

She tentatively called out to the system in her mind:

’System, you have to give me more time. Get into a research institute in one month? Which one? And why would they even want me?’

’Failing that, can’t you just give me the books first? Once I’ve studied them thoroughly, I can produce something tangible and be confident about getting into a research institute, can’t I?’

She had nothing right now. If she just rushed over to recommend herself—she probably wouldn’t even get past the front gate of a research institute.

She thought she was just testing the waters and didn’t expect a response.

To her surprise, the system panel changed: Lend First Book.

And just like that, the book appeared in her inventory space.

Fu Mingxue quickly took it out to look—holy cow, *Principles of Engine Design*.

’Is it telling me to work on engines?’

She flipped it open—and was immediately engrossed.

Two hours later, before she could finish, the book vanished from her hands.

’?’

’What’s going on?’

The system panel updated again with a new line of text: "Free loan: two hours per session. Subsequent rental fee: fifty yuan per hour."

When Fu Mingxue saw this line, her breathing instantly became ragged.

’Fucking hell, is this daylight robbery?’

If she read for two hours, that would be a hundred yuan.

Four hours would be two hundred, wouldn’t it?

What kind of family could afford this?

Before her mom quit her job, her monthly salary was only thirty yuan.

With a grim face, she topped up her account with one hundred yuan.

’I want to read for two hours.’

She couldn’t help it; she had just gotten to a crucial part.

"Mingxue, come out and eat."
