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

Chapter 1014: Chapter 1014: I Don’t Quite Understand What You Mean

Her husband, Qiu Hai, felt ashamed, so he took the initiative and slapped her: "What does it matter to you what they’re doing, why are you babbling nonsense, apologize right now."

Xinyan understood what the man meant, but she refused to give in, just standing and watching him perform.

The Qiu family’s daughter-in-law saw her husband give her a look, so she lowered her head and mumbled, "I’m sorry."

Of course, Xinyan heard what she said, but she didn’t respond.

Qiu Hai looked at Xinyan: "Han Family girl, your aunt knows she was wrong, and she apologized to you. We all live in the same alley; what do you think about this matter?"

Xinyan looked surprised: "When did Aunt apologize to me? How come I didn’t hear it?"

She doesn’t eat the Qiu family’s food nor drink their water, so why should living in the same alley mean she has to cater to them: "Uncle Qiu, I don’t quite understand what you mean. I didn’t hear Aunt Qiu apologize to me. Besides, should living in the same alley mean enduring baseless slander?"

Qiu Hai didn’t expect Xinyan to be so unyielding and turned his head to look at his father.

Mr. Qiu’s face was unpleasant; he knew that today, it was their daughter-in-law who was at fault. What others do is their business; even if you have thoughts about it, you shouldn’t blurt them out. If these words get out, it could ruin the girl’s reputation: "Wrong is wrong, hurry up and properly apologize."

The Qiu family’s daughter-in-law saw that even her father-in-law did not support her, and seeing Xinyan’s look of not letting it go unless she apologized, she reluctantly said, "I’m sorry. It was my loose tongue. I won’t say such things again."

After hearing this, Xinyan coldly said, "I hope this is the first and last time."

After speaking, she turned to Old Mrs. Tong standing beside her: "Grandma Tong, let’s go."

At this moment, Old Mr. Qiu spoke: "Girl from the Han family, we are truly sorry, don’t worry, she won’t dare to speak nonsense again."

Xinyan gave the crowd in the Qiu family courtyard a cold glance: "I hope so."

After that, she took Old Mrs. Tong’s arm and turned to leave the Qiu family’s house.

After they left, Old Mr. Qiu said to his grandson, "Go close the main gate."

To keep out prying eyes from the outside, Old Mr. Qiu, with a dark face, said, "All of you, come in."

Everyone in the Qiu family followed him into the living room, and Old Mr. Qiu quietly scolded the daughter-in-law, "Did a donkey kick your head, what do you have to mind other people’s business for, do you know what that girl’s family does?"

The Qiu family’s daughter-in-law seemed a little disdainful: "Isn’t she just a university student? Even if she succeeds in the future, she won’t affect us."

Besides, she had already extracted information from the old lady who lived with that little girl before. She knew Xinyan and her family were from the East Province and rented the house.

Moreover, the man who often comes to the courtyard is her boyfriend, a driver for a transportation company. What’s there to be afraid of?

Old Mr. Qiu let out a long sigh: "Fool, that kind of courtyard, do you think just anyone can live in it? Even if they are not locals, so what? Do you think they’re living worse off than you?

You said it yourself; the motorcycle they ride is very expensive, you as a local in Beijing can’t even afford it. You don’t think about what that implies, yet you went ahead to provoke them."

The reason he said this is because, not long ago, he saw Song Family’s Third talking to that girl. The tone of conversation made it clear that the girl was not simple.

Even if they can’t become friends, they shouldn’t purposely cause trouble: "All of you remember this, you are only allowed to befriend the girl from the Han family, not cause trouble; otherwise, get out of the Qiu family."

The Qiu family’s daughter-in-law was a bit confused: "Dad, our family has been living in this alley for a long time, why be afraid of a little girl?"

Beside her, Qiu Hai knew his father’s words must have a reason: "Whatever Dad says, just listen, don’t ask so many questions."

Old Mr. Qiu didn’t want to say more, fearing these people would start imagining things and spread rumors everywhere, causing more trouble than it’s worth. It’s better to directly order them not to provoke anyone.

As for Xinyan, she didn’t care what would happen to the Qiu family afterward. As long as they don’t mess with her, she won’t mess with them. By now, she was already in her space planting her grape seedlings.
