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

Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Leave This to Me, I’ll Handle It for You

Xinyan looked at the man who had already run a short distance ahead: "Do you know that person?"

He Jinxuan concealed the anger in his eyes and said lightly, "I know him, Bai Cuilin’s sister’s youngest son, Wang Daqing, he’s not from our Mechanical Factory, he’s from Xiaoqiao Village up ahead."

Xinyan was somewhat puzzled, "That woman just now was from the Mechanical Factory, I’ve seen her."

He Jinxuan took a few steps forward, "That woman is Bai Cuilin’s little sister-in-law, Wang Lanhua, married to the fitter Gao Tianbao in workshop two."

Hearing this, Xinyan asked, "Do you think this has anything to do with Bai Cuilin?"

He Jinxuan felt a bit distressed, "Whether it has anything to do with her or not, she’ll still suffer from it. Don’t worry about this, I’ll handle it for you."

Xinyan looked up at He Jinxuan, "You’ll help me?"

Then she thought of something else and asked puzzledly, "Why are you here?"

He Jinxuan knew Xinyan had weekends off, and because of the bonuses she received, many people were tempted. Maybe it’s because he paid more attention, he got some news, so he also scheduled his rest day for Sunday.

In the morning, when he was running by the Yuquan River, he overheard her saying she would go to the marketplace later, so he had a plan in mind. After watching the little girl fish for a while, he went home to prepare breakfast for his two nephews.

Unexpectedly, the little girl was really skilled. She had actually made a collapsible fishing rod that was quite practical and easy to store.

What he didn’t know was that Xinyan never relied on the fishing rod for fishing. It was just a tool; the key to fishing was her bait. So no matter what kind of fishing rod he used, he would catch fish. However, the idea of a folding fishing rod was truly for convenience.

After settling the two nephews, he went to the marketplace and saw her from afar talking to an old man. He didn’t greet them, handled his business, but waited nearby.

When he noticed Wang Lanhua and her nephew Wang Daqing next to Xinyan, he had a suspicion but never expected that they intended to ruin Xinyan’s reputation by exploiting the crowded place.

Seeing things were not right, he quickly went to Xinyan’s side and fortunately held her in time. However, some matters couldn’t be made public here, as that would actually play to their advantage, so he suppressed his anger.

Suppressing his emotions, He Jinxuan naturally couldn’t tell the truth: "I’m here to take care of some things."

His answer was calm, but Xinyan didn’t quite believe him, unsure if it was a brain spasm or what, she blurted out: "You didn’t come here following me, did you?"

He Jinxuan didn’t expect Xinyan to ask this and was momentarily stunned.

But with that moment of hesitation, Xinyan was sure; he came precisely because of her: "Did you hear something?"

He Jinxuan didn’t want to hide it from her anymore, besides, knowing some things would prepare her: "Before the exam, be careful and try not to go out alone. You saw today’s incident; these people’s tricks are hard to guard against."

In a previous life, he struggled alone his whole life, and no one had ever worried or cared about him. Hearing those words, he felt a wave of emotion: "Thank you, Brother He."

Some sisters from the family compound saw them and teased them. Although there was some distance, both of them heard it. After exchanging a glance, neither of them spoke to refute it.

Sometimes, a moment is all it takes for someone to be moved, just that Xinyan, being slow to realize, hadn’t noticed the change in her mindset.
