Chapter 699: A Thoughtful Husband

Fu Mingxue didn’t chat long with Wang Xiang. She’d been busy running around dealing with Wang Lihong’s situation ever since she got off the train.

She’d even missed lunch.

By now, she was starving.

Qin Wenhao knew, of course.

“Honey, go take a shower first. I’ll make some dumplings for you.”

“You made dumplings?” Fu Mingxue asked in surprise.

Qin Wenhao nodded. “I knew you were coming home today, so I made them ahead of time.”

“That’s so thoughtful of you. Alright, I’ll go take a shower now.”

Fu Mingxue hurried inside.

After carrying her luggage inside, Qin Wenhao headed to the kitchen.

By the time Fu Mingxue came out from washing her hair and showering, Qin Wenhao had already cooked the dumplings and brought them to the table.

Fu Mingxue sat down. Looking at the steaming hot dumplings, her appetite was completely whetted.

“Ah, after a few days on the train, a hot meal like this really hits the spot.”

“Then hurry and eat, Honey.”

“Okay, you eat too.” Fu Mingxue knew he had also skipped lunch to come pick her up.

The couple said no more and dug into their dumplings.

After they finished eating, Fu Mingxue finally remembered something. “Oh, right. About that situation with the Wang Family Village brigade leader, what are your thoughts?”

Qin Wenhao was about to clear the dishes. Hearing her, he looked up. “Honey, you want to help them resolve this?”

“It’s not about resolving it, exactly. I just feel that someone who forcibly seizes other people’s property, someone so possessive of others’ belongings, isn’t fit to be a brigade leader. If he’s allowed to carry on, wouldn’t he just become a local tyrant in their village?”

Her words amused Qin Wenhao, and he laughed out loud.

‘My wife is full of such novel expressions—how could she be so lovable?’

He found himself loving his wife even more.

“You’re right, Honey. Someone so possessive of others’ property is definitely not fit to be a brigade leader. You don’t have to worry about it; I’ve already reported it to the commune. They’ll probably investigate and handle the matter very soon.”

Qin Wenhao’s words left Fu Mingxue completely stunned.

“When did you do that?”

She was sure they hadn’t been apart for long.

“It was a coincidence. While you were at the guesthouse talking to Mr. Wang, I happened to run into President Qu downstairs. We know each other from before, so we chatted for a bit. I mentioned the matter to him, and he was furious. He’ll probably deal with it quickly.”

Then he quickly added, “President Qu despises evil. He won’t let something like this slide.”

Fu Mingxue: …?

‘Really? That sounds a little hard to believe.’

‘If President Qu really despises evil—then how has that brigade leader held his position so securely for over a decade?’

Still, she chose to believe her husband.

“Alright, then we’ll just have to wait and see!”

“Honey, there’s still some time this afternoon, and you’re not going to the factory. Why don’t you take a nap and recharge your batteries—”

Fu Mingxue: …?

‘Recharge my batteries for what?’

‘Is he getting me ready for an all-night battle?’

“—No need. I had a private sleeper berth this time. All I did was eat and sleep every day, so I’m not tired at all. Don’t worry about me. Go on and do what you need to do!”

Qin Wenhao was happy to hear that.

It meant his wife hadn’t had a rough time during the three days and two nights on the train.

“Alright then. I’ll head out now. I’ll be back later to make dinner.”

After saying that, Qin Wenhao left.
