Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 2292: Chapter 2286: Are We Just Ants Counting the Ground?

This is human psychology: when you see others deal with these matters, it genuinely seems easy and simple. Sometimes you might even think, "What’s the big deal? Who hasn’t made a mistake? Just endure it and it will pass, right?"

Yes, enduring it will make it go away. But have you considered how the person involved feels? Have you tried to empathize?

To you, it’s just a story with an unhappy ending, a sad story you listen to and watch.

But inside the person involved, it’s heartbreaking. For them, it’s not just a story but an incident, a distressing and despairing incident.

Therefore, when we’re interacting or dealing with things, we need to carefully consider what can be said and what can’t, what can be done and what shouldn’t, and never sprinkle salt on someone else’s wound.

Not everyone can let go easily, and not everyone can endure it.

Qin Xue had seen quite a bit of this, so when she thought it was for the best, she would try to persuade a little. But truly empathizing was impossible.

This is why people say it’s easy to speak when you’re not the one enduring the pain. Because it’s not a personal experience, no matter how much you say, it’s useless.

"Sis, what are you and brother doing, counting the ants on the ground? Can’t you walk faster?" Qin Jiale and Chu Xiaoqiao had gone far ahead and felt the people behind hadn’t caught up. Turning back, what a shock—they were dozens of meters apart. What were her sister and brother up to, about to get separated!

"Coming, you guys go ahead, we’ll catch up with you." Qin Xue glanced at her sister. Forget it—worrying too much was pointless now. Just take one step at a time.

"Xiao Yu, walk faster. Little Sis is already waiting impatiently." Qin Xue looked at her younger brother, who seemed far too laid-back. Isn’t he a bit too calm?

"Alright, it’s not that far apart; just walking faster can catch up. That’s fine." Qin Yu didn’t see anything wrong; his legs were long, and a quicker stride could easily do it.

"Okay." Qin Xue responded and quickened her pace to catch up with the two ahead.

"What national affairs were you discussing back there? We’re here to shop, not seeing you wanting to buy anything, moving at a snail’s pace and not fearing the sun." Chu Xiaoqiao was amused by her sister-in-law. Though autumn was slowly setting in, the autumn tiger was fierce.

If you actually spend a whole day under the sun, it might peel a layer off your skin.

"Brought an umbrella, didn’t we? Besides, it’s cloudy today, just a bit sunny, not hot." Qin Xue looked at her sister-in-law’s exaggerated expression—really? It’s clearly cloudy today. Besides, they brought umbrellas when they left.

"Hehe, just a metaphor. I still want you to walk a bit faster. Anyway, this weather is stuffy. I wonder if it’s going to rain?" Chu Xiaoqiao looked up at the sky. It didn’t seem like rain, just very humid, but this weather was like a child’s temper, changing on a whim. Who knows if it might rain?

Before it rains, those who want to shop should hurry. Today she managed to have someone cover her shift to stroll around with them.

Chu Xiaoqiao observed the surrounding buildings, noting that many more shops had sprung up. There were always lots of people here before, but some weren’t good at business and closed. But closures lead to openings—this was something she often saw, so she wasn’t surprised.
