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

Chapter 1263: Chapter 1263: Why Didn’t You Say So Earlier?

Xinyan chuckled and replied, "My aunt said that when my second sister-in-law and nephew return, it will be a hundred days celebration at home, just like when my elder sister-in-law and Feifei were there."

Han Chunxue chimed in, "Who knew things would align so perfectly, just a casual meal, and she went into labor early.

When she was discharged, my aunt originally wanted to bring her back, but my second sister-in-law’s aunt insisted against it, saying it was fate, and added that my aunt still had to work, so taking too long a leave wasn’t appropriate, and she would take care of her during this postpartum period."

Gu Wanqing peeled a tangerine and handed it to her son, "The in-laws for both families are really good. Back when Shengfang was in confinement, her in-laws helped a lot too, and now Zhenhua’s aunt takes on the burden directly."

Han Chunxue laughed heartily, "You’re so right, elder sister-in-law just has a good destiny."

As they were chatting and laughing, Su Aihong walked in, "It’s not just my good destiny, but also good sisters-in-law, good sisters, now even two wonderful daughters-in-law, and considerate in-laws, Chunxue’s words are spot on."

Then she hurriedly added, "Of course, if Han Chaohui didn’t annoy me, things would be even better."

Xinyan handed her a cup of warm water, "What’s going on with my third brother?"

After finishing the glass of water, Su Aihong said, "A colleague of mine introduced him to a girl, and that brat could simply decline if he wasn’t interested, but he said she looked ugly, which made the girl cry, isn’t that infuriating?"

Xinyan knew her third brother well and thought the girl must be the issue.

Sure enough, Han Chaohui came in to defend himself, "Is there anyone who starts by asking how much I earn a month, whether we can live separately from my parents after marriage, and prefers if I have my own property, and worst of all, after marriage, she wants all my money to be handed over to her to manage.

Isn’t that outright nonsense? I merely commented that she dreams big despite looking ugly, was I wrong?"

Su Aihong, a bit annoyed, said, "Why didn’t you tell me earlier?

I wasted so much time apologizing humbly to the matchmaker."

Han Chaohui rolled his eyes at his mother, "You jumped at me with yelling right from the start, did you give me any chance to explain?"

Feeling a bit guilty, Su Aihong said, "It’s not like you’re always messing around, how was I supposed to know that this time it’s the girl who’s unreasonable?"

As Su Aihong thought more about it, she got increasingly upset, "No, I need to clarify this, otherwise it’s always weighing on my mind."

So she turned to Mrs. Gu, "Auntie, I need to borrow the house phone."

Mrs. Gu understood Su Aihong’s temperament, "This matter can’t be left unresolved, we can’t let Chaohui bear the blame."

Xinyan looked at her third brother and started laughing, "Third brother, do you have someone you like?"

Han Chaohui glanced around, then got up and pulled Xinyan outside, "Why would you ask that?"

Xinyan looked at him and laughed directly, "I was just guessing, but now I have confirmation. So, what’s going on?"

Then she thought of something, "The things you said earlier were not just excuses to cover up for yourself, were they?"

Han Chaohui shot Xinyan a look, knowing what she was worried about, "Your third brother might not be smart, but I’ve never lied, don’t worry."

Feeling a bit awkward, Xinyan hurriedly changed the topic, "Then tell me what’s the deal with the person you like?"

Since his sister had figured it out, he didn’t want to hide it anymore, especially at his age, the secret wouldn’t stay hidden for long, "The girl I like had her father falsely accuse my dad years ago. Our families are practically enemies.

I’ve never dared to tell the family, primarily because she hasn’t agreed yet, saying we won’t work out, and I shouldn’t waste time on her.

Yanyan, but I just like her, what should your third brother do?"

Xinyan’s first reaction was whether this girl might be playing dirty tricks, intentionally stringing along her third brother.

With that thought, she tentatively asked, "How old is the girl now? Is she seeing anyone else?"

Han Chaoyang rubbed his forehead, "She’s two years younger than me, not seeing anyone else. She’s always felt that it was her family who wronged my dad back then, so she’s always hesitated to accept me.

But she hasn’t been with anyone else, I know she’s been waiting."
