Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1356: Don’t Slander Me
After dinner, He Jinxuan and Xinyan prepared to leave. Seeing the overcast skies outside, Xinyan turned to Granny Zhang and Shen Guqing, saying, "It’s cold outside, you shouldn’t go out."
Zhang Yueshan also stopped his mother and wife: "It looks like it might snow, I’ll go send them off, you two stay inside."
He Jinxuan helped Xinyan put on her hat, then tied her scarf, and was about to carry the big bundle Granny Zhang had prepared.
Zhang Yueshan noticed and quickly took it first: "You look after Xinyan, I’ll take the bundle."
As they stepped out of the house, a cold breeze hit them, and Xinyan looked up at the dark sky: "Uncle Shanzi, you might be right, it seems like it will snow tonight."
Zhang Yueshan walked alongside them and said, "Snow makes the roads slippery, be extra careful on your way."
Xinyan chirped, "No worries, Jinxuan will be with me the whole time these days, my safety is his responsibility."
He Jinxuan’s lips curled into a smile: "That’s settled then."
He had already made up his mind that if it snows, he would stay by his wife’s side without leaving for a moment.
Zhang Yueshan saw them into the car: "Jinxuan, drive carefully."
Xinyan waved to Zhang Yueshan: "Uncle Shanzi, it’s cold, go back quickly, we’re leaving."
The two drove to the mouth of the alley, parked the car, He Jinxuan carried her out, then with one hand holding the bundle and the other holding Xinyan, they took a few steps: "Wife, it’s snowing."
Xinyan looked up at the sky, smiling: "Last year it snowed on New Year’s Eve, this year it’s snowing on the first night of the new year. Does it have to snow during New Year to set the mood?"
Speaking of last year’s New Year, she thought of the He family: "Oh dear, I forgot to make a New Year call to Ji City today."
He Jinxuan laughed: "Don’t worry, I did it first thing this morning."
Xinyan looked up at him: "Then why didn’t you call me?"
He Jinxuan gently rubbed her hand with his palm: "When I called, it was still early, someone was still dreaming of Duke Zhou."
Xinyan was about to say something when He Jinxuan said: "I told them you slept late last night because of morning sickness."
Hearing this, Xinyan laughed directly: "You’re something else."
As they chatted, they arrived at the house door. He Jinxuan dropped the bundle and opened the door with one hand.
However, just as they entered, there was a shout from outside: "Help! Someone’s going to be killed."
They paused while taking off their clothes and looked outside.
He Jinxuan helped Xinyan remove her coat: "It’s cold outside, and you’re pregnant, stay inside. I’ll go check it out."
Xinyan knew he was being considerate: "Got it."
After settling Xinyan in, He Jinxuan headed outside, not forgetting to close the door behind him.
By then, quite a few people were heading towards the Song family, where the noise was coming from next door.
When He Jinxuan arrived, the Song family was tangled in a brawl, and Song Zhanming’s later wife, Ge Suhua, was fighting with Song family’s eldest sister-in-law. They were going at it so fiercely that it hurt just watching.
Not far off, Song Zhanming was also fighting with the Song family’s eldest brother.
He Jinxuan called out to a few neighborhood acquaintances: "Help pull them apart."
Once separated, everyone looked utterly disheveled, and both Song family daughters-in-law had blood on their faces.
Then Old Mrs. Tong squeezed in: "Fighting during the New Year’s, what’s going on?"
This was what everyone wanted to know.
Originally, the other members of the Song family wanted to keep family matters private, but today Ge Suhua was not only humiliated but also beaten, and her two children were insulted as burdens. How could she possibly endure it? "Yes, what’s with the fighting during New Year’s? Isn’t it because someone’s greedy and eyeing the hard-earned money of others?"
Song family’s eldest sister-in-law retorted: "Don’t slander me."
Ge Suhua wiped her tears from her face: "Do you dare swear on your children that if you’re lying, they won’t die well?"
As soon as she said this, the Song family’s eldest sister-in-law raised her hand and charged at her: "How dare you curse my children? I’ll kill you, you slut!"
Seeing his wife in trouble again, Song Zhanming dashed forward and intercepted her: "Enough, you dare to act but not take responsibility. Since we can’t get along, let’s go our separate ways, and never call us back under any pretense in the future."
