Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 696: Chapter 690: Snow Spirit Wants to Know Yuzhe’s Background

Nangong Shulan had never been seen arguing with anyone in the village all these years since she married into it, but today she actually fought back, which showed how angry she was. However, these people were just jealous of her family’s wealth and the things they could buy, so there was no reason for them to gossip about it.

Qin Wushen also disliked this kind of villager, because they were too annoying, spreading rumors about every little thing. But the village wasn’t very big and there wasn’t much to do for entertainment, so people just gossiped about their neighbors.

“Alright, thank you, Sister-in-law Wu.” Nangong Shulan saw that Qin Wushen had spoken up, so there was no need for her to linger around.

“Husband, let’s go home. There’s still a lot of work to be done.” Nangong Shulan turned to her husband, Qin Lei, and said.

“Alright, let’s go home.” Qin Lei had been standing next to her without speaking. Now that his wife wanted to go home, he would go home with her.

It’s not that he wasn’t supporting his wife, but as a man, it wasn’t appropriate for him to get involved in such matters. As long as no one was physically fighting, he believed his wife could handle the situation. Just like now, his wife had successfully countered their gossip, leaving them speechless.

...
When the others saw that the people involved had left, they dispersed as well. The items that the couple had bought were indeed enviable, but since they couldn’t have those things, they gave up and went home.

“Sigh, some people haven’t even improved their own lives yet, but they’re always talking about others and sticking their nose in where it doesn’t belong. If they want to buy these things, they should work hard and earn the money themselves.” Qin Wushen said loudly, aiming her words at Nangong Shulan.

Although this statement was directed at Nangong Shulan, those who hadn’t left yet knew that it was meant for them to hear.

People who heard this were unhappy with Qin Wushen’s meddling attitude, but they couldn’t say anything. After all, Qin Wushen’s father-in-law was the village chief, and she had always been very helpful and kind to others in the village. Most people maintained a good relationship with her.

Now that she had spoken out like this, they really had no choice but to sulk and go home.

“Shulan, why did you buy so many tools and furniture all at once? You won’t use them all right away, so isn’t it wasteful?” Qin Wushen looked at the cart full of things that Qin Lei was pushing and asked curiously.

“To be honest with you, I’m thinking of making some food to sell for extra money. As you know, my daughter Qin Xue married into a family with only Molin, and now they have two kids. If we as parents don’t help them out, how hard will life be for them? Don’t you agree?” Nangong Shulan looked at Qin Wushen and said.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wushen understood her intentions. All parents didn’t want their children to suffer. However, she had heard that Qin Xue had brought back many things for them, so why did it sound like their daughter was still having a hard time according to Nangong Shulan?

“Wasn’t it said that Qin Xue gave you lots of things? What about that?” Qin Wushen didn’t mean to pry, but since it was brought up, she just asked in passing.

“Those were pickles made by Qin Xue. Lele, that girl, said she liked eating them, so her sister brought all the pickles she made back for us. I was thinking about how giving birth can be physically draining, so I didn’t want her to eat too many pickles. I brought them back since she gave them to me, but I never expected that people would twist the story so irresponsibly.” Nangong Shulan said with a mix of truth and fiction.
