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

Chapter 712: Chapter 712: Prioritizing the Wife Over the Young Lady

When Xinyan heard the commotion in the yard and came out, she saw the expression on Jinxuan’s face and couldn’t help but laugh: "Mom and Dad, it’s really cold outside. If you have something to say, come inside."

After she said this, she looked towards Jinxuan who was carrying the new year’s gifts: "You should come in too. Why did you bring so many things?"

Jinxuan said softly: "Zheng Yuezhong went over today."

When he said this, Xinyan understood what he meant.

She cleared her throat and said: "I got it, let’s talk about it later."

Jinxuan also knew that now was definitely not the time to talk about it. At the very least, he had to pass the future mother-in-law’s test first.

As the few of them entered the living room, Jinxuan asked: "Has Uncle and them not come over yet?"

Xinyan helped him put down the new year’s gifts and then said: "There was a market in the town up front this morning. They went there together, I think they’ll be back soon."

Gu Wanqing saw the two put everything down and said: "Yanyan, you go ahead and get busy, I’ll chat with him for a bit."

Jinxuan gave Xinyan a reassuring look, indicating for her to go ahead.

After that short moment, he was already calm.

Before Xinyan left, she glanced at Han Jingchen sitting next to Gu Wanqing, the meaning in her eyes was unmistakable.

Han Jingchen, however, didn’t give his daughter any signals and directly shifted his gaze to his dear wife.

Xinyan thought to herself: That’s just the way it is—a man with a wife forgets his daughter.

Han Jingchen couldn’t care less about what Xinyan thought. If Jinxuan couldn’t pass Wanqing’s test, then he might have to reconsider if he wants to engage them.

But given his understanding of Jinxuan, he believed Jinxuan could smoothly pass Wanqing’s test.

Xinyan had no idea what they talked about. Anyway, when Jinxuan came over to find her, he was smiling, so it seems he passed.

While Sister Chen was in the back getting vegetables, Jinxuan leaned over to Xinyan and whispered: "Everything went smoothly."

He originally wanted to say something but then saw Sister Chen come in through the back door, so Jinxuan immediately stood straight and quickly helped her with the work.

Xinyan glanced at Jinxuan, thinking: He’s really good at pretending.

Sister Chen was understanding: "Alright, I’m mostly done here, you two go and chat."

Jinxuan thanked Sister Chen and pulled Xinyan out of the kitchen.

Xinyan saw that her parents were neither in the yard nor the living room, and knew that they must be hiding in their room talking again.

Jinxuan handed the bag of money to Xinyan: "This is the money for the wild ginseng, take it."

Xinyan took the bag and peeked inside: "How’s the old lady from the Zheng Family?"

Jinxuan looked at Xinyan: "For now, she’s fairly stable, but a heartache requires heart medicine. If she remains troubled and unable to let go, even Elder Liang might be helpless."

While they were talking, the people who had gone to the market returned.

Su Aihong entered and greeted her eldest daughter-in-law, Shengfang: "Oldest family, come, sit here and rest for a bit. You’ve walked quite a distance today, you mustn’t tire yourself."

Shengfang laughed: "Mom, it’s fine, a bit of exercise is good."

Su Aihong said as she quickly poured her a glass of water: "Moderate exercise is fine. Today was crowded and far; I regret taking you."

Xinyan walked over: "Were there many people at the market today?"

Sun Zhenhai, standing by, chimed in: "Cousin, you really missed out. The market was bustling."

Su Aihong said: "There’s no market in the afternoon. Many families were waiting for today to rush to the early market to prepare for the New Year."
