Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 655: Chapter 649: Showing Off Love

Qin Lei stretched out his hand to hold the one in front of him, tickling it gently, his face lit up with a tender smile.

“What are you doing? Let go! The child is here!” Nangong Shulan blushed, this man had no shame, still holding hands in public even at his age.

“I didn’t see anything, carry on.” Qin Jiale, carrying his luggage, quickly left after leaving a comment, “Oh my goodness, their public display of affection is just too sickening.”

“Look, you’ve made a fool of us in front of the child,” Nangong Shulan glared at him.

“That’s alright, our child won’t say anything inappropriate.” Qin Lei chuckled and then started to tidy up.

“You two really are…” Nangong Shulan exclaimed.

...
While The Qins’ house was filled with warmth, outside, the rumors spreading were about how sensible Qin Xue had grown. These rumors made Qin Su’e, who had come home to her mother’s house, grit her teeth in anger. She had worked so hard to tarnish Qin Xue’s reputation.

And now her effort of all these years would go in vain if she managed to turn her name around so easily. Also, the current plight of her life was all due to Qin Xue. She vowed to get her revenge one day.

A hateful fire ignited in Qin Su’e’s eyes, chilling anyone who saw it.

Mrs. Qin heard what the villagers were saying that her family was so poor they had to go ask their granddaughter for pickles. She hurried over to her younger son’s house with her husband and just happened to see the terrifying look in Qin Su’e’s eyes.

It frightened even her, a woman of her age. That girl had evil intentions. Fortunate that Qin Xue had got married and no longer shared a roof with her. When Mrs. Qin and her husband reached their younger son’s house, they recounted what they just saw.

“Mom, Dad, you’re here.” Nangong Shulan came out and saw her parents-in-law.

“Hmm, we heard some rumors and came to see what was going on?” Mrs. Qin smiled at her daughter-in-law.

“It’s alright. You two don’t need to worry. I said those things to shut them up. It is because I brought some stuff back from Qin Xue’s place, making them envious. I said all that just to ensure our peaceful days ahead. Don’t take it seriously.” Nangong Shulan knew it would be this way. She welcomed her in-laws in and poured each of them a glass of water.

“So, what happened exactly?” Mrs. Qin asked.

“Well, the truth of the matter is…” Nangong Shulan began to tell them about her elder daughter’s situation.

“So, Qin Xue is not poor like the villagers say but is earning money by herself.” Nangong Shulan only told her in-laws that their eldest granddaughter was making money by drawing for others, concealing the fact that she was running her own business. After all, they had another son to consider.

Even the fairest heart can bear the torment of others’ provocation, so it would suffice for them to know their daughter was doing well.

“Yes, she is under the patronage of a boss and doing some work. They are now in the Imperial Capital. I’m not sure how they are doing.” Nangong Shulan remarked.

“Don’t worry, that girl is cunning, she will manage well.” Mrs. Qin was not worried anymore after hearing this.

“Let’s hope so.” Nangong Shulan said.

“By the way, wait here, Mom and Dad. Qin Xue has sent something for you. Let me get it.” Nangong Shulan went to get the things her daughter had sent.

“What is it? So secretive.” Mrs. Qin asked her husband.

“How would I know? I came here the same time as you, if you don’t know then how am I supposed to know?” Grandpa Qin looked helplessly at his wife, pondering her question.

“I’m just asking, don’t be so sensitive.” Mrs. Qin gave her husband a glance.
