"It's your turn."
She raised an eyebrow at the couple and said, "Tell me, why are you looking so down? What happened?"
"Mom, it's all my fault."
Upon hearing this, Xue Ru glanced at her mother-in-law's face and hesitated before saying, "I'm afraid my plans to pursue further studies with Wei Guo are not going to work out. We submitted our names, but the background check was rejected because of my family's class background."
Her family had a misfortune last year.
The Qin and Xue families were old friends, and she and her husband were childhood sweethearts. When the Xue family got into trouble, her mother-in-law not only did not rush to sever ties, but also made the two of them get their marriage certificate in advance, used her connections to save her, and tried every means to change the place where her family members were sent to work in the countryside to the ancestral home of the Yu family.
Because of the family's kinship ties, her family did not suffer much hardship in the countryside.
Xue Ru has always remembered this kindness and has always respected and loved her mother-in-law. However, now that her mother-in-law is willing to spend money to send her and her husband abroad for further studies, it has been delayed because of her...
The more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt, and her eyes welled up with tears.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
Yu Mingxiang: ...
Unexpected, yet also predictable.
"Why are you feeling unwell now?"
Yu Mingxiang sighed, patted Xue Ru's hand, and said, "I originally wanted you to go out and avoid the situation, but I was afraid that you would suffer with us while you were pregnant. Now it seems that this is not an option."
The eldest daughter-in-law's family background is what it is.
If going abroad for further studies through a research institute is not feasible, then even if one leaves the research institute and goes abroad in a private capacity, the application process will not be approved.
Given the current circumstances, Yu Mingxiang had no choice but to accept it.
Luckily, the supplies she ordered last night were for four people, otherwise she would have had to go find that rough man who stares at people's chests.
However, with the eldest daughter-in-law, who is pregnant, staying behind, there are even more things to prepare.
She still has to go tonight.
"Avoid? Mom, avoid what?"
"Yeah, Mom, you've been acting really strange these past few days. You're leaving early and coming home late every day, and you're always buying food from outside..."
Upon hearing this, the Qin brothers expressed their doubts one after another.
Finally, Qin Xiangdong added, "And you also hit your sister and locked her up. Mom, you used to love your sister the most. This is very abnormal, like you're possessed by some evil spirit..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
"Smack!"
He was hit on the head with an iron palm strike.
"Possession? The Master said, 'You did not speak of strange phenomena, physical prowess, disorder, or spirits.' Have you wasted all your education?"
Yu Mingxiang scolded her son, but her confidence seemed somewhat lacking.
As someone who was reborn with a spatial ability, she naturally possessed some mystical elements. She was genuinely unsure of herself when she said this, but that didn't stop her from beating her son.
A tree that isn't tied up won't grow into timber; a child that isn't disciplined won't be filial.
She never hit Qin Yuzhu in her past life, so what a terrible thing Qin Yuzhu turned out to be?
Purely a deformed and crooked gourd.
"Since we've come this far, I'll be frank with you."
After shoveling her youngest son, Yu Mingxiang took a deep breath and said, "Our family is being watched; something bad is going to happen."
These words were spoken.
"What?"
"..."
The three children sitting opposite her all gasped in surprise.
Having experienced such a tragedy in her family, Xue Ru had witnessed the chaos firsthand, and her face immediately became flustered, making her restless.
Seeing this, Yu Mingxiang reached out and patted her, comforting her, "Don't be afraid, Mom is here. Mom will always protect you."
The reason she couldn't protect her child in her past life was because it happened too suddenly.
From the time the tribunal took them from their home to the time their entire family was sent down to the Northwest, it only took two days.
For two days, even though her senior brother and Brother Du were frantically searching outside, they simply didn't have time to maneuver, but...
