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

Chapter 1012: Chapter 1012: It’s None of Your Business, Stop Scheming on Others

Mother He saw her eldest daughter-in-law leave and glared at her second daughter-in-law: "Don’t just stand there, weren’t you going to help?"

Gao Yumei didn’t expect her sister-in-law to just up and leave. She regretted coming so early, had she known she’d have come later. But she’d already spoken up: "Mom, there’s not much to do in this room."

How could Mother He not know her little schemes: "Wipe the glass on the window. This time not only is Jinxuan coming back, but your third sister-in-law will also come along. Naturally, it has to be tidied up a bit more cleanly."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yumei’s expression changed. Such a cold day, and now she has to clean windows. She was about to say something when Mother He said, "Do it while the sun is still out, later you won’t even be able to stick your hand out. Hurry up."

There was no choice, her mother-in-law didn’t give her any chance to speak, so she had to grit her teeth and do it.

However, while working, she kept trying to get information out of Mother He: "Mom, I heard that the father of the third sister-in-law is an official, and her mother is quite wealthy, is that true?"

Last time only their daughter went with them, but what can a child understand? Just that the food was good, the lodging was good, and the youngest aunt looked pretty.

She wanted to find out more, but really couldn’t get much out of it.

But she and the big house were like water and fire, her relationship with her sister-in-law and the fifth house was also ordinary, couldn’t get any news. She felt like a cat scratching her heart, uncomfortable.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, she intended to get some information from her mother-in-law, but unfortunately, Mother He had become shrewder: "What kind of family your third sister-in-law has is none of your concern, don’t scheme against others, hurry up and get your work done."

Beijing

Cao Haiping was in his dormitory packing his stuff, preparing to go home.

Lately, he didn’t know what was wrong, he felt uncomfortable all over, his skin itching badly.

At first, he thought it was an allergic reaction, or maybe the cold weather had made his skin too dry, but even after using ointment, there was no improvement.

But today, the itching had escalated, patches of rash appeared on his skin, itching to the point he couldn’t resist scratching.

Reason told him not to scratch, fearing he’d break the skin and risk infection.

So he endured the torment, while everyone else had already packed and left, he still hadn’t finished.

Once the other students left the dorm, he couldn’t hold back any longer, dropped what he was doing, and raised his hands to scratch.

But the scratching made it worse, the more he scratched, the more intense it became, until it spiraled out of control.

In no time, he had scratched his arms, body, even legs. If he hadn’t worried about facing people later, his face might not have escaped.

Only when his skin bled did the itch finally subside.

Taking advantage of the reprieve, he quickly got dressed, threw everything he needed into his bag in a rush, and dashed outside.

But as soon as he reached the phone booth outside, whether it was the wind or something else, the itch returned.

He fought the discomfort and hurriedly called home: "Hello, Mom, it’s me."

The woman’s voice on the other end was joyful: "Son, where are you? Mom has made your favorite dishes... "

Before she could finish, her son’s voice interrupted: "Mom, hurry and get Dad to send a car to pick me up near the school, quickly."

The woman, puzzled, asked: "Son, didn’t you say you didn’t want to show off your status in front of others, so why... "

Cao Haiping, anxious, shouted: "Why so much fuss? If you don’t want people to see me make a fool of myself, then quickly contact Dad and have him send a car to pick me up."
