University student Qin Xiaoyu died with deep regrets, betrayed by a scumbag. Reborn, she finds herself in the body of a 25-year-old young widow with depression and two children, living in the 1980s...
"Does my wife still need to be a hand model?" Tang Long said calmly. Qin Xiaoyu and Tang Fengqin exchanged a glance, caught off guard by this display of affection.
"Brother-in-law, take a look at my arm, I'm afraid to put any force on it." Qin Xiaoyu called Deng Jianyan over as soon as she saw him.
During yesterday's fight, Deng Jianyan retreated quite a bit and felt guilty, so today he fulfilled his duty as a military doctor, treating everyone's injuries, applying medicine where needed, and giving massages where necessary. His attitude couldn't have been better.
Deng Jianyan adjusted Qin Xiaoyu's bones, and only when he saw that she was alright did A Lei feel relieved.
"Madam, I only put a little sugar in this porridge. Xiaoyu said that it's not good for older people to eat too much sugar, so you should also be more moderate." Tang Hu's mother solicitously placed a bowl of porridge next to her wife.
Qin Xiaoyu had told Hanhan's grandmother countless times to tell Madam to eat less sugar. But as soon as she mentioned it, Madam would get upset.
Grandma Hanhan, wanting to save trouble, said one thing to Qin Xiaoyu's face and another behind her back. She added plenty of sugar to her wife's porridge in the kitchen, and then added a little more in front of Qin Xiaoyu, thus disobeying her wishes in secret.
Now that Tang Hu's mother has actually put it into practice, the wife starts making a fuss as soon as she takes a bite.
"I won't eat this bland food! I'm already so old, why are you still telling me what to do? Put some sugar in it!" the wife said, putting on a show of authority.
"Isn't this for your health, Madam?" Qin Xiaoyu also came over to help persuade her.
"I've lived to be over eighty, that's enough. Eat whatever you want, it's fine!" The wife was being stubborn, just like an old child.
“Listen to me, don’t just eat whatever tastes good. Think about it, all these grandsons and nieces are your precious children. Don’t you want to live to be a hundred years old and watch them get married and have children? That would be so wonderful. Just thinking about those good days will make you hold back.” Tang Hu’s mother was quite good at talking and made her wife happy. After a few bites, she stopped being picky.
"Dad, you saw what happened yesterday. Grandma Hanhan is just as muddle-headed as Auntie. You should be more careful in the future. She's your wife, after all, and it wouldn't be good if something happened to her." Qin Xiaoyu warned Grandpa Hanhan.
"My intention was to send her back to her parents' home, but last night she cried all night, kneeling at my door begging me to let her out, saying she would jump into the river if I let her out. Forcibly sending her away won't work. I'll keep a closer eye on her from now on, and I can't let her harm anyone again. If anything happens again, you can question me," Grandpa Hanhan assured him.
"From now on, everyone upstairs and downstairs should be careful, so that she doesn't cause any more trouble," Qin Xiaoyu instructed her cousin-in-law again.
"No, let's lock everything up. I'm worried. What if some unscrupulous relative comes in? Longlong's things are all valuable."
"Don't mention that stuff, I'll tell you a funny story." Tang Hu's mother laughed when she heard this.
My second aunt came by a few days ago, but she only stayed briefly and left without eating. When she went upstairs for a visit, Tang Hu's mother was home and kept an eye on things.
Grandma Hanhan led her into Tang Long's room.
"What's going on with this mess? These are all things that were thrown away, and they're still sitting here?" Auntie was alarmed when she saw it.
"This child isn't quite right in the head. He fell and it made him stupid." Grandma Hanhan was referring to Tang Long, and I guess that's what she usually thinks too.
“These two flowers are alright, I’ll take them for my granddaughter to wear.” Auntie picked up a pair of velvet flowers from the box.
"What's so great about that thing? You can leave it here, I'll take you to get something nicer." Grandma Hanhan's gaze at her second aunt made her think that the second aunt was too easily swayed.
"Guess what they took with them in the end?" Tang Hu's mother covered her mouth and laughed.
"I know, my pair of plastic hair clips are missing. She took them?" Tang Fengqin suddenly realized. She had lost them a few days ago, assuming they had fallen out outside, not expecting them to be stolen.
"Yes, I just went to your room and took a pair of hair clips!" After Tang Hu's mother finished speaking, Qin Xiaoyu and the others all laughed.
That's what you call a wasted trip from Baoshan. Those velvet flowers were from Nanjing, specially meant for Xiaoli's wedding. But she didn't like them, so she went and bought a pair of three-yuan hair clips instead.
A narrow perspective truly limits one's horizons.
"So we really need to change all the locks. And those of you who have a lot of money should be more careful and not leave your bags lying around." Qin Xiaoyu was trying to keep an eye on Grandma Hanhan, but Zhou Yue misunderstood and blushed slightly, avoiding looking outside.
Qin Xiaoyu saw this and was also annoyed.
"What's all that noise outside?" Qin Xiaoyu noticed something was wrong and went to the door to check. It turned out that her second aunt had come again and was calling out at the entrance of Building 3, seemingly too afraid to come over.
"Give her relatives a lesson, and that's enough. They probably won't dare to come again," Qin Xiaoyu said to A Lei.
"Speaking of yesterday, I'm still confused. How many groups of people were there?" Zhou Xing's mother asked, still shaken.
“I found a group of people, like Xiao Dong and his team. The chefs and waiters came voluntarily. Uncle Lei called the Public Security Bureau directly, and Da Da contacted Staff Officer Zheng,” Qi Si patiently explained to her.
"Oh, I see. By the way, you two brothers, one gun today and the other tomorrow, I can't stand it! Hand them both over!" Zhou Xing's mother remembered the guns.
"Ah Lei was quite restrained yesterday. He hit Lao Ding's leg, and I thought you were going to kill him." Qi Si looked at Ah Lei with eyes full of affection. This brother-in-law is really good. He can trust Qin Xiaoyu completely with him.
"Who said I don't want his life?" A Lei said, silently eating his porridge.
Qin Xiaoyu then realized that this matter was not over yet. There would likely be more developments soon. Normally, A Lei wouldn't hold a grudge, but when it came to her, nothing could be wrong, and he would do his best to make it perfect.
"Brother, I thought you were coaxing your son when I saw you go to the back and not come out," Qin Xiaoyu teased Qi Si.
"When that group of guys came in, I recognized one of the guys in the back as one of the gangsters. I guessed he was going to cause trouble if he saw me, so I immediately went to the back to call for backup. These damn guys, they're all dead drunk over the New Year, otherwise I would have gathered everyone by now..."
Before he could finish speaking, a quarrel broke out outside. Everyone inside tensed up and rushed to the doorway.
The soldiers at the gate and several young men were arguing fiercely and were about to come to blows.
"Stand still, what are you doing!" Qi Si's shout worked, and they all quieted down.
"Fourth Brother, I drank too much last night and have come to apologize." The leader knelt down with a thud, and the others followed suit.
"It's nothing serious, alright, let's go back." Qi Si was magnanimous and didn't hold it against him.
"Fourth Brother, I'll quit drinking from now on! If I mess up your important business, I'm not human!" The kid knelt on the ground and refused to get up no matter what.
