Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 2179: Chapter 2173: The Same Background

"Aunt, we’re here to see you." As soon as Yu Chen reached the store’s entrance, he broke free from his mother’s hand and rushed inside.

"Oh, our dear Yu Chen has come to see his aunt! What brings you here today?" Chu Xiaoqiao had just finished with a customer when she heard her little nephew’s cry, and her joy made her forget there were still people in the store. She immediately came out to greet him.

"I missed you, aunt." Yu Chen bumped directly into Chu Xiaoqiao’s embrace and said in a soft and cute voice.

"I missed you all too. Have you eaten yet? Aunt has food here." Chu Xiaoqiao hadn’t eaten yet. She had someone pack a meal for her earlier, but she was too busy to eat it. As soon as the kids arrived, she asked if they had eaten.

"Aunt, we’ve already eaten. You go ahead and eat." As soon as Yu Ze arrived, he heard Chu Xiaoqiao’s question.

"Really eaten already?" Chu Xiaoqiao looked at each person appearing before her.

"Yes, we’ve eaten. You go eat, and I’ll watch the store. You can come over after you finish." Qin Xue noticed it was getting late. She’s worked hard without stopping to eat.

"Alright then, I’ll go eat." Upon seeing the group, Chu Xiaoqiao realized her small meal wouldn’t be enough, so she decided to eat it herself.

"Your little sister-in-law is quite nice, attentive, and responsible. She’s someone who can accomplish great things." Qing Zhu had discreetly observed Chu Xiaoqiao, noting her decisiveness and competence.

"It’s exactly because she’s so capable that I took her under my wing. Otherwise, why would I go to such lengths to train her? It’s for her to become my assistant, and once she can handle things on her own, I can rest easy." Qin Xue was still gradually teaching Chu Xiaoqiao some skills, waiting for the day she’d become successful.

"I believe she won’t let you down." Having navigated the business world for years, Qing Zhu was confident in her judgment of people.

"Yes, I trust in that. By the way, when did you get a store like this? Come on, tell me honestly." With no customers around, Qin Xue started a casual conversation with Qing Zhu.

"When I came here, I had nothing at all. You might not believe it, but I’ve been here for several years, and I opened that store by saving bit by bit." When Qing Zhu first arrived, she stayed with a family that wasn’t very wealthy but treated her well. Later, she discovered they were raising her as a future wife for their son.

As a modern woman, Qing Zhu wouldn’t accept such a fate, so she found a way to escape. Of course, before she left, she took some of the money she had helped earn over the years. Later, she used her past life’s memories and knowledge to help Qing Tian.

Qing Tian then invested some money to help her, calling it a token of gratitude. She didn’t want to take it, so Qing Tian said it was a loan. That’s how Qing Zhu opened the store with Qing Tian’s financial help, and Qing Tian became her store manager.

This time when she returned, Qing Tian immediately handed her the account book, reported everything that happened over the year, and withdrew the money Qing Tian had lent her to open the store. She still had a considerable sum left, not millionaire status, but to many families, she was wealthy.

When Qin Xue asked her about it now, she recounted her experiences since arriving here.

"I didn’t expect your circumstances to remain the same here. I really don’t know why that is." Qin Xue thought Qing Zhu’s situation would be like hers, with loving parents, but now hearing Qing Zhu’s story, she realized not everything unfolds as she imagined.
