FSC [QT] Chapter 47.3

After all, she was a thirty-five-year-old woman with a sixteen-year-old child, which would always make people whisper behind her back.

“If the other party dislikes it, I won’t say this to you today.”

When the old landlady heard Qiu Xia’s words, she knew that Qiu Xia was moved. She immediately patted Qiu Xia’s hand with a smile: “If your affairs are settled, you will have to give me two wedding candies next time.”

One was a wedding candy for Qiu Wu to be admitted to high school, and the other was a wedding candy for Qiu Xia to get married.

“The eight characters haven’t been written yet.”

Over the years, Qiu Xia felt that her face had become very thick, but hearing the old landlady make fun of her marriage still made her feel a little embarrassed.

“But, you still have to talk to Xiao Wu about this. After all, if you get married, your child will have an extra father and an extra brother. Her opinion is also very important. You only have such a daughter, so you can’t make her unhappy over remarriage.”

The old landlady always reminded Qiu Xia that both mother and daughter were good friends, but for some reason, they were never close when they got along.

Old Mrs. Lin understood clearly that Xiao Wu wanted to get along well with her biological mother, but Qiu Xia could be kind to neighbors she had never met a few times, but she was always cold to Xiao Wu, her biological daughter.

If the old landlady hadn’t known that Qiu Xia spent most of her money on this girl, she would have doubted whether the child was her biological child.

“I see.”

Speaking of her daughter, the joy on Qiu Xia’s face gradually faded.

“Okay, I’ve wasted your time. You should go to work. I’ll tell you the time when I contacted the man.”

Seeing Qiu Xia’s appearance, Old Mrs. Lin sighed in her heart. Thinking about the two big watermelons her son had brought the day before yesterday, she planned to cut half of them to Xiao Wu later and send them over.

Qiu Xia and her daughter were both frugal. Although the rental house was equipped with air conditioners, they had never used them.

When the weather was hottest, they both relied on fans to cool down.

It was almost July now, and the temperature in Ning City was rising steadily, especially at noon.

Her half of the iced watermelon was just enough for Xiao Wu to relieve the heat.

***

Old Mrs. Lin slowly walked downstairs holding half of the watermelon. Since she got older, her movements on climbing stairs had become more and more awkward.

Her husband was also struggling with whether the house on the first floor would no longer be rented out from next year, so she and her husband could live on the first floor from now on.

“Xiao Wu, where are you going?”

When the old landlady walked to the fourth floor, Ah Wu was getting ready to go out.

“I want to go to the library. I want to preview high school courses in advance and take advantage of the library’s air conditioning.”

For Ah Wu, there was nothing shameful about using the air conditioner, so her attitude was generous.

“Yes, this can also save your mother’s electricity bill.”

Qiu Wu’s words were very suitable to the old landlady’s taste. A local housewife like her was not short of money, but she still retained the frugality of her predecessors.

Sometimes she felt worried about the electricity bill at home, so she would go to a nearby shopping mall and supermarket for half a day, then just buy something casually, and come back.

“You can put this half of a watermelon in the refrigerator, just in time to eat it together when your mother comes back from work.”

The old landlady was cheerful. The more she looked at Qiu Wu, the better she felt.
