Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1154: Stirring Up Trouble

He Jinxuan didn’t answer directly, he just explained, "Her second cousin, Huang Guangfeng, and I were comrades before. As for who her target was that day, it’s hard to say, but I did leave early because I wasn’t feeling well."

Old Sir Fu had a knowing expression on his face, "I see."

He then coughed lightly, "I heard that family is in a bad way now, was that your doing?"

He Jinxuan helped them refill their drinks, "If you make a mistake, you naturally have to pay the price."

Old Sir Fu smiled and patted He Jinxuan on the shoulder, "Not bad, that’s the way it should be."

What he didn’t say was that the Fu Family, upon getting the news, added fuel to the fire, and now that family is living in misery.

Mr. Gu raised his glass, "It’s fortunate that woman knew her place and didn’t dare enter the Fu Family to harm your grandson."

Old Sir Fu also raised his glass, "True, but now the marriage is likely to be delayed again, it’s quite worrisome."

Mr. Gu knew what he was worried about, "When my granddaughter returns, I’ll talk to her and have her help find a suitable match for your grandson among her classmates."

Old Sir Fu’s eyes lit up at this, "That sounds great, you know, with his job, he doesn’t interact much with outsiders usually. If we leave it to him to find someone, he might end up single."

The two old men grew happier as they talked, drinking quite a bit.

In the end, it was He Jinxuan who took them home.

Nie Family in Beijing

When He Yanqing returned home with seafood brought by a friend sent by her third brother, she saw her mother-in-law and sister-in-law picking vegetables in the yard.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Nie Family, Jiao Yushan, said somewhat sarcastically, "Second sister-in-law, what time is it already? Why didn’t you come back earlier to help cook?"

He Yanqing had long had enough of Jiao Yushan. Her third sister-in-law was right; you can’t let people like this have their way: "Isn’t big sister-in-law at home? You knew I went out, why didn’t you prepare in advance?"

Jiao Yushan didn’t expect her second sister-in-law to talk back to her, "You have the nerve to say there’s a reason you didn’t come back early?"

He Yanqing didn’t want to argue with her. She turned to her mother-in-law and said, "Mom, my third brother had someone help me find a job. I went out today to settle the job, which took some time."

Saying this, she also handed the bag in her hand forward, "My third brother got a ride back and brought some seafood for the two nephews. You and dad can also try it tonight."

After speaking, she went into the kitchen, got a large basin, and prepared to clean up the seafood.

Upon hearing what He Yanqing said, Jiao Yushan was a bit unhappy and mumbled quietly, "As if we’ve never eaten seafood before, what’s the show off about?"

Not far from her, mother-in-law Fang Rongyue heard her eldest daughter-in-law’s words and couldn’t help but frown, thinking: Ever since the younger son’s family came back, this eldest daughter-in-law has been full of issues every day.

She finally couldn’t hold back, "Jiao Yushan, what kind of words are those for someone in your position as the eldest sister-in-law?"

Jiao Yushan wouldn’t take it, "Mom, you’re getting more and more partial. What did I say that made you defend her like this?"

Fang Rongyue, being the mother-in-law, couldn’t feel at ease being spoken to like this by her eldest daughter-in-law, "Over the years, how I’ve treated your family, you should know. Since you feel I’m partial, then we might as well separate the families."

These words scared Jiao Yushan. While she couldn’t stand her mother-in-law’s favoritism towards the recently returned younger son’s family, she never thought about splitting the family. After all, her in-laws both had pensions, and not a small amount.

Living with her in-laws meant not worrying about anything. If they were to separate, who knows who would benefit from the money the old couple had, "Mom, it’s all my fault, please calm down. With parents present, families shouldn’t split, don’t say such things in the future."
