"Mom, you can’t go around saying things like that. You’ll be branded as superstitious in a heartbeat."
Fu Mingxue’s words earned her a direct eye-roll from Mrs. Fu.
"Do I look like a fool to you? I’m only saying this to you at home, aren’t I? Or what, are you planning on reporting your own mother?"
Fu Mingxue: ...?
She had only said one sentence, and her mom had already shot back with so much.
"How could I? You’re my own mother. By the way, are you really set on going back?"
"Yes, I’m going back. No matter what, I have to dig up that urn. It can’t be buried with the Fu family."
"Besides, your dad wasn’t even a true member of the Fu family. Won’t it be bad luck to be buried with them? With your dad’s personality, if he’s down there, he’ll probably get exploited by the Fu family! Old Man Fu and Old Mrs. Fu just passed away, won’t they go looking for him?"
Fu Mingxue: ...?
’Oh my god.’
’I never would have guessed—my mom’s superstition is pretty serious!’
’It seems I really can’t stop her.’
’Otherwise, she might just run away from home.’
"—Then let me think about it for a day. I’ll give you an answer tonight when I get back."
"What is there to think about? I’ll go tell our in-laws today. That’s settled. Don’t worry, I won’t get lost."
Fu Mingxue: ...?
’She really couldn’t feel at ease at all.’
"Alright, hurry up and go to school. Any more delays and you’ll be late."
Mrs. Fu simply urged her to leave.
Fu Mingxue sighed.
’If she really goes, what am I supposed to do?’
’After all, I really can’t spare the time.’
"—How about this? My classes will be over in a few days. I can go with you then."
Mrs. Fu rejected her outright. "I don’t want to go with you. With your looks, wouldn’t you just attract human traffickers? It’s not safe with you."
Fu Mingxue: ...?
Mrs. Fu said impatiently, "Alright, I know what I’m doing. Just hurry up and go to school!"
