Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space - Chapter 656

Chapter 656: Chapter 650: Something That Makes People Green with Envy
 

Grandpa Qin wasn’t about to argue with a woman; it would be a blow to his masculine pride.

“Look, these are the gifts Qin Xue brought for you both,” Nangong Shulan said, opening the cloth-wrapped package in front of her in-laws.

“These are ginseng and tuber fleeceflower. Shulan, you shouldn’t have accepted these. It would have been better to let the child sell them to help with the family finances,” Grandpa Qin couldn’t help but speak up.

“Yes, why did you bring back such valuable things?” Mrs. Qin also looked at her daughter-in-law somewhat reproachfully.

Although this eldest granddaughter and grandson were not their own flesh and blood, their inherent qualities were truly good, and the fact that they were willing to give such valuable things to them was enough for the elderly couple to understand the children’s hearts.

“I refused, but she insisted that you two are old and should take better care of yourselves. I couldn’t refuse her.” Nangong Shulan thought, if her in-laws knew how much more she had, they would be even more shocked.

Qin Xue may be inexperienced, but when she understood things, she was very considerate, and it was impossible not to get angry at her,” Mrs. Qin thought. Qin Xue was truly both lovable and hateful.

“Yes, she’s brought back a lot of food that she wanted to let you try. I’ll get it so you can have a taste.” Nangong Shulan went to fetch the food.

When Nangong Shulan returned, she discovered that her eldest daughter had also stuffed two bottles of wine into the package.

“You two brought back all these things?” The elderly couple asked in surprise.

“Yes,” Nangong Shulan nodded.

“No wonder the villagers are talking. How can people not be envious with all these valuable items? Were they seen by anyone?” Grandpa Qin asked.

“No, dad. Am I that stupid? I wouldn’t let others see our wealth so easily.” Nangong Shulan said with a smile.

“That’s good. Otherwise, neither of you would be able to sleep well at night,” Grandpa Qin said. As the saying goes, you don’t need to worry about thieves stealing if they don’t think about stealing in the first place.

“Don’t worry. I opened the pickles when I got back and hid these things in our room in advance. No one saw them.” Nangong Shulan had been afraid of attracting attention, so the first thing she did was to put away these envious items.

“But how did you two manage to carry all of these things back?” Mrs. Qin asked, looking at her daughter-in-law’s small frame.

“Thanks to Chu Molin’s help…” Then she explained how Chu Molin had arranged transportation and helped them with everything, so her in-laws wouldn’t worry.

“That’s good. It must have been very convenient for you,” Mrs. Qin said.

The family gathered at their home for dinner, happy about the recent events, and Qin Chaoyang and his wife also came to inquire about the situation of their children on the other side.

When they learned that their children were doing well and had found jobs and were earning money, they finally felt relieved after worrying for more than a month.

Back to Qin Xue, she woke up to find her husband gone and started to wash up after seeing the note he left. Then she released Xue Ling.

“Ah, it’s so nice. I don’t remember how many years it’s been since I last breathed in the air of the mortal world.” Xue Ling took a deep breath as soon as she came out.

“Isn’t it good inside with all that spiritual energy for you to cultivate?” Qin Xue asked, looking at her, whose silver hair reflected a dazzling white light under the morning sun.

“Mistress, it’s nice inside, but being alone for so long makes me feel lonely and want company. You wouldn’t understand that feeling.” Xue Ling thought how she had been sealed away by her former master for so many years, even she couldn’t remember, and how could her current mistress possibly understand that pain.
