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

Chapter 1201: Chapter 1201: I Hope They Won’t Betray My Trust

He Jinxuan’s face was full of affection, how could he refuse: "Alright, I’ll carry you there."

He was incredibly grateful now, having partitioned a room for washing up as Xinyan requested.

No need for makeup, after a simple wash, applied a homemade moisturizer, a perfectly poised beauty.

Perhaps because of last night’s tenderness, her face was even more charming.

Once they came out of the washroom, the malt milk was almost cool.

Xinyan couldn’t worry about anything else, she was genuinely hungry and uncomfortable, she took the cake He Jinxuan handed over and split it in half, eating one half herself and held the other half to He Jinxuan’s mouth: "Let’s eat together."

But He Jinxuan, this rascal, grabbed the cake that Xinyan had already bitten into, and took a bite himself, smiling widely.

Then he brought the unbitten piece to Xinyan’s mouth: "Eat this piece."

They got addicted to this game, one bite each, finishing the cake and then they shared a cup of malt milk.

Rinsing their mouths destroyed the evidence, and they tidied up the room before opening the door.

Gao Yumei, who had been waiting for Xinyan and her husband, rushed forward the moment she heard movement, saying with a bragging smile: "You’re awake, breakfast is almost ready."

Xinyan was a bit puzzled, how did this sister-in-law seem like a different person, she looked at He Jinxuan beside her, asking with her eyes: What’s going on?

He Jinxuan then remembered about Second Brother wanting to borrow money, which he hadn’t told Xinyan about yet.

He squeezed Xinyan’s little hand: "I’ll explain later."

He then asked Gao Yumei: "Second Sister-in-law, why didn’t we hear anyone else talking?"

Gao Yumei glanced towards the kitchen: "Oh, I didn’t want to disturb you two, and I thought I’d let them sleep a bit more, they should be coming over any time now."

Wang Erni emerged from the kitchen, seeing the two standing in the yard: "Go wash up first, breakfast will be ready soon."

Xinyan didn’t want to deal with Gao Yumei, and He Jinxuan wanted to discuss Second Brother borrowing money with Xinyan, so they replied and returned to the room.

He Jinxuan pulled Xinyan to sit on the bed: "When they arrived, Second Brother mentioned wanting to borrow money for a small business, I said I’d discuss it with you, and I’ve been so busy I’ve forgotten about it."

Upon hearing about borrowing money, Xinyan frowns slightly: "How much does he want to borrow?"

He Jinxuan shook his head: "He didn’t say specifically, I mentioned there’s not much cash on hand, and borrowing would mean using the gift money."

He wasn’t lying, as most of his money was invested in the fleet.

After thinking a bit, Xinyan realized that if they refused to lend the money, it might create tension between brothers, yet if they lent it, they had to be prepared for the worst-case scenario that it wouldn’t be repaid: "Alright, if they ask again, we can agree, but we can only lend them a maximum of a thousand, and they must write an IOU, and we should have other family members witness it."

He Jinxuan didn’t expect Xinyan to agree so directly, feeling touched he pulled her into his arms, just as Xinyan continued: "However, if that money isn’t repaid, I won’t agree to lend again, be mindful of that."

A thousand dollars was quite a sum, as a regular worker earned only about thirty dollars a month, and that’s for an official worker.

Xinyan agreed because they were capable now, due to He Family asking for the first time, at such a time she didn’t want any unpleasantness. Of course, she wanted to observe He Family’s attitude.

Jian Country was indeed right about how difficult it was for him to find suitable work, but perhaps starting a small business could be a way out.

He Jinxuan held Xinyan’s hand: "Yanyan, thank you."

Xinyan pulled her hand free: "Let’s hope they don’t betray my trust."

She wasn’t a saint, if Gao Yumei and the others defaulted, she saw no need to deepen their relationship, as long as everything else was fine.

He Jinxuan gently pinched Xinyan’s nose: "Just following the wife’s lead."

Finished saying, recalling something, he took out an account book from the cabinet and handed it to Xinyan: "Wife, this is the fleet’s quarterly report from a few days ago."

Curious, Xinyan opened the account book, upon seeing the profits, she looked up sharply: "Jinxuan, you’re amazing."
