Reborn in the 80s and Remarrying an Officer, Let the Ungrateful Cry! novel Chapter 160

Chapter 160: Chapter 160: You Want a Job? Then I’ll Give You a Job

Fu Mingxue emerged, doing her best to appear calm and act as if nothing had happened.

And, of course, to walk normally.

She didn’t see her mother in the courtyard and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then she spotted Qin Wenhao hoeing the vegetable patch nearby.

Just as she looked over, Qin Wenhao seemed to sense her gaze and turned. "You’re up. Breakfast is ready. Mom went to get the two kids dressed."

Fu Mingxue noticed something—the look on his face as he spoke felt different than before.

Just as she was about to go wash up, she heard him speak again. "Oh, right. Mom’s chicken soup is ready too. It’s in that pot. Go pour yourself a bowl."

Fu Mingxue’s face instantly flushed crimson.

’Could this man please not mention the chicken soup?’

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

"I’ll get it." Qin Wenhao set down his hoe and went to open the door.

He was a little surprised to see Lü Feng standing outside.

"Qin Tuan, you’re back!"

Lü Feng looked a little awkward.

Qin Wenhao looked at him. "Is there something you need?"

"I came to—"

Zhu Xiaohong, who was standing behind him, couldn’t stand his spineless hesitation.

She immediately pushed him aside.

Beaming, she looked at Qin Wenhao. "Qin Tuan, here’s the thing. I was hoping your wife could help me find a job. I’m even willing to pay for one—"

Qin Wenhao was baffled.

Although he didn’t quite understand what was happening, he knew that getting her a job was out of the question.

He then looked at Zhu Xiaohong. "You want a job? And you said any job would do, is that right?"

Hearing this, Zhu Xiaohong’s face lit up. She immediately nodded. "That’s right. I can do any kind of work. I can handle hard labor, and I’m not afraid of it."

She spoke the last part with great conviction.

Qin Wenhao said, "In that case, how about sweeping the floors at the school? They happen to have an opening. It pays twenty yuan a month, which should be perfect for someone as hardworking as you."

The smile on Zhu Xiaohong’s face instantly froze.

"You... you’re telling me to go sweep floors?"

Qin Wenhao retorted, "Why not? Didn’t you just say you could handle hard labor and weren’t afraid of it? Besides, sweeping floors isn’t that taxing. I think it fits your requirements perfectly. It solves the problem of getting you that job you’ve been dreaming of, and it solves your family’s financial problems since Lü Feng’s pay isn’t enough."

"I... I—" Zhu Xiaohong’s face turned beet red.

She was absolutely livid.

’Asking someone as young as her to sweep floors? What was this if not a complete humiliation?’
