Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space

Chapter 355: You Really Are Heartless

Uncle Zhang entered the courtyard first with his hands behind his back: "What, aren’t you welcoming us?"Xinyan chuckled: "How could that be? I was just thinking of tidying up today so I could visit you tomorrow. Didn’t expect you to come over first."

Aunt Zhang jokingly scolded her husband: "You think about Xinyan every day, and now you’re putting on airs."

Xinyan invited the three to sit down and sliced up a watermelon to put on the table: "Uncle, Aunt, Aifeng, have some watermelon."

Uncle Zhang didn’t hold back and picked up a slice of watermelon: "Girl, I heard you did well in your exams this time; congratulations."

Aunt Zhang smiled at her husband: "Xinyan, you don’t know, but when he heard you got into a university in the Capital, your Uncle Zhang was elated. When he heard you were back, he couldn’t sit still."

Uncle Zhang looked at Xinyan like she was his own junior: "Xinyan, well done. I figured you’d soon be off once you got your acceptance letter, so I came early to congratulate you."

Lin Aifeng then took out two pairs of insoles from the basket: "Xinyan, these are embroidered insoles from my grandmother. Don’t look down on them."

Xinyan looked at the beautiful insoles: "Wow, this must have taken a lot of effort. These insoles are so well embroidered. They’re too pretty to actually wear in shoes."

Aunt Zhang saw that Xinyan genuinely liked them: "I couldn’t think of what to give you, but I figured you wouldn’t have time to embroider insoles."

Xinyan really liked them: "Then I won’t be polite about it. Thank you, Aunt Zhang."

Aunt Zhang smiled happily: "As long as you like it."

After chatting for a while longer, the Zhang family stood up to leave. As Uncle Zhang reached the gate, he said: "Xinyan, once you’re in university, study hard."

Xinyan nodded seriously and said: "I will."

Only when she couldn’t see them anymore did Xinyan turn back into the courtyard.

een now, you should understand. The current family situation is not because we don’t want to help you, but because we really can’t."

Qiu Jouxuan was hurt seeing his daughter treat his wife like that. He started making "Ah, ah, ah" sounds in frustration.

Qingmei was irritated by the "ah, ah" sounds: "If you don’t want to help, then don’t. Don’t tell me there’s no money. I hate you all."

She said this and angrily slammed the door and ran out.

Watching her daughter run out, Huang Yufeng sighed but didn’t chase after her. She knew pursuing her wouldn’t help.

After a long while, she recovered and spoke to Qiu Jouxuan on the kang: "Old man, Qingmei is getting older. I think this isn’t working out, we should arrange a marriage for her."

Although Qiu Jouxuan couldn’t speak clearly, he understood and nodded to his wife, signaling his agreement.
