Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1176: Why Are You Getting Angry Now?

Mr. He's brow furrowed: "Watch your words, don't offend people before asking for a favor."

Gao Yumei was slightly dismissive but didn't dare retort to her father-in-law. She muttered softly, "Why can't I even speak now?"

The eldest, He Jiefang, cast a glance at He Jian Country: "Control your wife. You know Third Brother's temper. If something goes wrong, don't blame him for not showing your Second Brother any respect. This is Beijing, not Sanyuan."

He Jian Country gave Gao Yumei a stern look: "Stop rambling about useless things; you're too idle."

Mr. He checked the time, noting it was getting late: "Alright, let's be on our way."

The family departed in a considerable procession.

Several neighbors approached to greet them: "Oh, where are you all off to?"

Mr. He responded with a touch of pride, "It's because Third Brother is getting married. He called home and insisted that everyone must attend."

"Oh, I see. That's wonderful news; congratulations."

Along the path, people occasionally stopped them for a chat, consuming a good amount of time. By the time they arrived at the bus stop, they had nearly missed their bus. Fortunately, the eldest son, He Xudong, displaying quick thinking, ran ahead to flag down the bus, calling back to his family, "Hurry up."

At the train station, He Yuejin and his wife had been waiting with their daughter for half an hour.

Guo Yueyue looked in the direction of the bus: "Yuejin, why aren't they here yet?"

He Yuejin gently smoothed his daughter's hair on her forehead: "They should be arriving shortly."

Guo Yueyue redirected her gaze: "Yuejin, didn't Second Brother say he wasn't coming? Why did he change his mind?"

He Yuejin entertained the daughter in his arms: "After all, it's a significant life event for Third Brother. He probably wishes to ease the existing tension a bit."

Guo Yueyue pursed her lips: "I'm not entirely convinced."

He Yuejin turned to face his wife: "Why do you say that?"

Guo Yueyue rolled her eyes at He Yuejin: "You understand your Second Brother and Sister-in-law's dispositions better than anyone. Coming all this way, who knows what their intentions are?"

He Yuejin nudged his wife, who had rolled her eyes, with his elbow: "What do you mean by 'my Second Brother and Sister-in-law'?"

Guo Yueyue immediately chuckled: "Alright, alright, my mistake. Our Second Brother and Sister-in-law."

Noticing her admission of error, He Yuejin frowned: "Did you find something out?"

Guo Yueyue adjusted her clothing: "I encountered Big Sister-in-law on the street the day before yesterday."

He Yuejin suddenly blurted out: "Were you attempting to test me earlier?"

Guo Yueyue gave a slight cough: "You're imagining things."

He Yuejin inquired, with a hint of disbelief: "Really?"

Guo Yueyue glared: "Believe it or not."

In truth, she had been trying to subtly question her husband to gauge his awareness of Second Brother and Sister-in-law's true motives.

Seeing his wife's rising displeasure, He Yuejin said: "Alright, I believe you. So, what did Big Sister-in-law reveal?"

Guo Yueyue decided it was time to reveal the information, primarily to prompt her husband to be prepared: "Big Sister-in-law mentioned that Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law intend to start a small business. This trip to Beijing is for the purpose of borrowing money from Third Brother and his family."

Upon hearing this, He Yuejin's expression soured: "This must be Second Sister-in-law's scheme."

Guo Yueyue showed her discontent: "You're consistently defending them. Why automatically assume it's Second Sister-in-law's idea? It could quite possibly be Second Brother's own aspiration."

He Yuejin shifted his daughter to his other arm: "You know the nature of my Second Sister-in-law. She's always been in competition with her cousin. Now that her cousin's in-laws have established a small workshop, which I hear is quite profitable, she can't remain idle."

Guo Yueyue took their daughter from his grasp: "I can't believe you'd be so biased, making judgments without knowing the facts. Do you think your Second Brother lacks ambition or has no plans of his own?"

Observing his wife's genuine anger, He Yuejin stated: "Hey, why are you getting upset?"

He was about to elaborate further when he spotted Big Brother disembarking from the bus: "They've arrived."

Noticing his wife's reluctance to engage with him, he quickly appeased her: "Alright, Yueyue, you are right to point out my prejudice. I was being a bit narrow-minded. I will be more mindful moving forward."

Guo Yueyue acknowledged his conciliatory tone: "Fine, as long as you recognize it. If it turns out to be true, don't get involved."

He Yuejin nodded: "Rest assured, I've taken your words to heart."
