Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1246: What Are You Making a Scene For? Isn’t This Embarrassing Enough?
Previously on Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space...
Xinyan and Sister Shen were taken aback, and even He Jinxuan, occupied in the kitchen, emerged from it.
Upon seeing the visitor, he inquired, "Song Bingjing, for what reason have you come to see me?"
When Song Bingjing had earlier arrived with such animosity, a throng of onlookers eager for a spectacle had trailed behind her.
Now, a considerable crowd had assembled outside the courtyard gate, causing Xinyan's expression to immediately darken.
He Jinxuan exited the kitchen and positioned himself beside Xinyan, asking, "Are you the wife of Zhai Songyuan?"
Before Song Bingjing could respond, Xinyan interjected, "Song Bingjing, ever since your expulsion from school, we've had no dealings. Why have you come here to cause trouble today?"
Since she dared to appear and stir up a fuss, Xinyan resolved not to show her any leniency.
Song Bingjing, incensed that Han Xinyan had brought up her past, trembled with rage. "If you hadn't refused to lend Vice Captain Lu the motorcycle, that couple wouldn't have needed to borrow it from my home. Now, they've injured someone, and my family is ruined because of it. Are you pleased now?"
Xinyan was initially quite perplexed, and upon grasping the heart of the matter, found herself speechless. "What kind of reasoning is that? It was my motorcycle, so naturally, the decision to lend it was mine. It had nothing to do with anyone else."
Song Bingjing, seemingly on the verge of a breakdown, pleaded, "Why wouldn't you lend it? We live so close, and we even got married on the same day. Why are you so stingy? Why didn't you just lend it?"
He Jinxuan stepped in front of Xinyan protectively. "Are you causing trouble? Leave at once."
If she were not a woman, He Jinxuan would have expelled her long ago. What preposterous talk.
At this juncture, even Sister Shen could no longer tolerate the situation. "What is wrong with you, woman? No one forced you to lend your vehicle, and now you're here making a scene because something unfortunate occurred. You truly lack any shame."
The Zhai family, having received word, hurried over. Mrs. Zhai, showing evident exasperation, stated, "Bingjing, you're being utterly unreasonable. What connection does this have to Captain He and his wife? All these problems arose because of your own stubbornness."
Song Bingjing sobbed, tears streaming down her face. "If they had lent it, those two wouldn't have come to our house to borrow the motorcycle. It's all because of them."
Just then, Wang Baoliang, who had arrived due to the commotion, stepped forward. "This daughter-in-law of the Zhai family seems to have some issues with her mind, doesn't she? This is utterly irrational. I've lived a long life, but I've never encountered anything like this. It's truly rare."
At that precise moment, Zhai Songyuan, who had just returned from the hospital and learned of the situation, also rushed over. "Bingjing, why are you making such a spectacle? Isn't this embarrassing enough as it is?"
Following his words, he quickly offered an apology to He Jinxuan and Xinyan. "I apologize. She was frightened, which is why she came here spewing such nonsense."
He Jinxuan, his expression stern, declared, "Regardless of her intentions, she had no right to come to my home and cause a disturbance. Take her away immediately."
Xinyan harbored resentment. While she couldn't resort to physical violence in front of such a crowd, a minor lesson was necessary; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to quell the anger within her heart.
She approached Mrs. Zhai and gestured towards Song Bingjing's head. "Auntie, is there truly something wrong with Bingjing's brain?"
The instant the words left her lips, a malodorous powder, secretly procured from her space, landed on Song Bingjing, transforming her into a walking stench emitter for the following week.
Having exacted her revenge, Xinyan no longer obstructed the Zhai family. She had other matters to attend to and no time to continue this fruitless exchange.
The Zhai family departed with Song Bingjing, and the onlookers who had gathered to witness the drama also dispersed. The Zhai family, for a brief period, became the epicenter of gossip, even eclipsing Vice Captain Lu and his wife.
The couple swiftly concluded their tasks and departed. As they passed the security checkpoint, they received word that Mr. Jiao had been hospitalized and were instructed to proceed directly to the hospital.
Without any hesitation, they headed to the hospital, where a member of the Jiao family was waiting at the entrance to greet them.
It was only then that Xinyan inquired, "What has happened to Grandpa Jiao?"
The individual who met them was the youngest grandson of the Jiao family. "This morning, during his exercises, he twisted his ankle. It's not a bone fracture, but he has strained a ligament."
As they entered the hospital premises, Ding Xiulian, the daughter-in-law of the Hao family, spotted them. Mistaking their arrival for treatment for her son, she rushed into the ward, exclaiming, "They're here, they're here!"
Hao Xuejun looked at his mother, bewildered. "Who is here?"
Ding Xiulian scoffed. "Who else could it be? Naturally, it's that Han Xinyan, who acts so high and mighty because she possesses a modicum of skill."
The mention of Han Xinyan's arrival caused Hao Xuejun's eyes to sparkle with immediate interest: "She actually arrived?"
A smirk playing on her lips, Ding Xiulian retorted: "I just observed her entering the hospital from the railing. Don't fret; who could possibly decline financial gain? She's merely feigning high morals. For the sake of money, she still showed up."
As fate would have it, the path to Grandpa Jiao’s ward necessitated passing by Hao Xuejun’s own room.
Regardless of whether Ding Xiulian intended for Xinyan to overhear her pronouncements, Xinyan distinctly caught every word as they were uttered.
Xinyan continued on her way, her expression unruffled, pondering how this indeed confirmed the ancient adage—marry a virtuous wife. The daughter-in-law of the Hao Family was destined, sooner or later, to bring calamity upon them with her sharp tongue.
