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

Chapter 889: Chapter 889: Envying Others Is Useless

After sighing, she continued, "But Zhan Ming was determined to repay his debts, and as a result, his wife found her efforts to cause a scene useless, so she left in a fit of anger and filed for divorce.

It’s heard that in the family she remarried into, they didn’t treat her like a person. It was unbearable, so she returned, but by then, Zhan Ming had already started seeing someone else, and they were about to talk about marriage.

So, she’s come chasing him here today."

Then a sister-in-law next to her said, "I heard that Song Zhanming’s job is almost ruined because of her."

Old Mrs. Tong looked over, "Really?"

That sister-in-law said, "It’s no lie. I heard that Song Zhanming is already looking for another way out."

Xinyan was listening intently when she heard the voice of He Jinxuan, "Xinyan."

She looked up and saw He Jinxuan standing at the front gate of the courtyard.

Xinyan quickly greeted everyone and stepped forward to walk towards He Jinxuan.

The few people all looked in the direction Xinyan was leaving, and someone asked in a low voice, "Is that her partner?"

Old Mrs. Tong said proudly, "Yes, he’s diligent, treats Xinyan well, and is quite sharp."

Someone asked, "What does he do?"

Old Mrs. Tong replied with a smile, "He works at the city’s transport fleet and has become a team leader at a young age. He’s quite capable."

At this moment, an unpleasant voice came in, "Seems like she is after the man’s money."

The smile on Old Mrs. Tong’s face instantly vanished, "If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all. Not everyone is like your family."

That person wanted to say more, but Old Mrs. Tong bluntly said, "Envying others is useless. Stop saying those pointless things."

Upon hearing that, the person felt embarrassed and ran away.

Old Mrs. Tong said, "Everybody’s grown people. Seen a few and can’t get along with any, can’t stand others doing well, always trying to say something snide."

Obviously, Xinyan heard these comments as well.

Just before entering the courtyard door, she glanced over there and recognized who had run away, thinking, there’s indeed nowhere she isn’t present.

He Jinxuan also gave a cold glance in that direction, knowing that woman lived in the alley ahead, and thought: if she talks rudely next time, I’ll teach her a lesson.

Xinyan gave him a tug, "Let’s go, I’m hungry."

Upon hearing Xinyan was hungry, He Jinxuan’s expression softened, "The meal is ready, go wash your hands, and we’ll eat right away."

He pointed to the basin under the magnolia tree, "I’ve already prepared the water for you."

After saying that, he turned around and went into the kitchen.

Xinyan saw the casserole dish being brought out, "Where did you buy the chicken?"

The market here doesn’t sell live poultry, so she asked.

He Jinxuan dished out rice while saying, "Old Liu from the residential compound brought it back from the countryside. I traded with him, so give it a try and see how it tastes."

Xinyan dried her hands, "Then I really have to try it properly."

The two of them chatted and laughed, feeling very warm.

After dinner, Xinyan thought of checking out the shop, so she said to He Jinxuan, "Jinxuan, you wash the dishes first, I’ll ride over to the shop to check things out and come back to tutor you."

He Jinxuan originally wanted to follow, but thought about the exercises Xinyan had assigned him before, which he hadn’t finished, so he nodded in agreement, "Come back early."

Xinyan got up and walked toward the side room to push the bicycle, "Got it."

She definitely couldn’t return late, as she still had to study pharmaceutical preparations from her master.

She thought she had merely overheard some juicy gossip outside the main door, but when she got to the shop, she caught sight of Song Zhanming, who had almost knocked her over before.
