Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1099: Chapter 1093: Ideas About Pranking_1 Chapter 1099: Chapter 1093: Ideas About Pranking_1 The events that transpired had left them all regretting their decision to follow along. Who could have anticipated this kind of situation, they pondered.

The married couple, Qin Xue and her husband, as well as Jing Xin, all had an inkling of what would happen next. But for the five unmarried folks among them, the Qin siblings who were of marriageable age and had spent some time living away from home, naturally knew something about these matters. Whereas, Ouyang Ziyu was a doctor, and although she was unmarried and inexperienced, she could imagine it too.

Qin Yu sold liquor for a living and had spent a considerable amount of time around his customers, hearing all sorts of inappropriate jokes. Hence, even he was aware of it. The only one who didn’t know what was happening was Qin Jiale. However, being sharp, she didn’t voice her ignorance aloud. Otherwise, it would have exposed the rest of the group.

This situation created an awkward predicament for them. If it were just Qin Xue and Chu Molin around, there wouldn’t have been any embarrassing implications. But with the group consisting of siblings and a large crowd, it was unbearably awkward.

Qin Xue glanced toward Chu Molin. Even though it was dark and she couldn’t see him clearly, she knew he was watching her.

Qin Xue tugged at Chu Molin’s clothes, signaling him to retreat. After all, they couldn’t just stand there and eavesdrop on everything that was happening.

Getting Qin Xue’s hint, Chu Molin told everyone to step back one by one. Only when everyone moved out of the scene did they breathe a sigh of relief, but the awkwardness lingered. Not until they had moved far away did Qin Xue start laughing. She mused, there couldn’t be a ghost, could there? What they stumbled upon was a pair of lovers in the wild. Yet, something about the woman’s speech felt strange to her, as if she was familiar with her.

“Who’s that woman?” Qin Xue blurted out her question, not caring about everyone else’s reactions nor their thoughts.

“Sister (Qin Xue), don’t you recognize the voice?” Qin Yu broached the question, his siblings chimed in as well.

“Uh, should I?” Qin Xue asked, trading looks with the four people in front of her.

“Mhm, you should.” They nodded in unison, their response uniform.

“Why?” Qin Xue was puzzled. Should she recognize such a scandalous woman?

“Because she and you are very close.” The four of them were curious to know what Qin Xue was thinking. However, to their disappointment, she were no closer to figuring out the identity of this woman.

“Out with it.” Qin Xue was growing impatient. Everyone was acting so mysteriously.

“It’s Qin Su’E, your best friend.” Eventually, Qin Qiu spilled the beans.

“What? Are you serious?” Qin Xue gasped, the coincidence was astounding. They had come to ‘catch a ghost’ and somehow stumbled upon a real “ghost”.

“Yes, it’s true.” Except for Ouyang Ziyu and Jing Xin, everyone including Chu Molin nodded. Qin Xue wailed inside, feeling as though they were toying with her.

Though she wanted to ask this so-called Su’E about the bone they had to pick with the original host. After all, she had ruined her reputation time and again. Consequently, Qin Xue was determined that she had to shed some light on this matter and restore her reputation. With this intention, she suddenly came up with an idea.

“Qin Qiu, and Qin Yun, you two could pretend to go back. Then, when you pass by Aunt Dazui’s door, speak loudly:
We saw what looked like a thief when we came back to our house. If she asks which direction they went, just say it was too dark to see clearly, but they seemed to be heading towards the old haunted house.

Then pretend to be frightened and wonder out loud if there really is a ghost in that house. And Qin Yun, you can say, how can that be? There are no ghosts in this world, if there were, they would be those who have guilty consciences. Why not go and see all this for ourselves, does a group of living people like us fear those sorts of things? What do you all think?” After Qin Xue finished speaking, she looked at the group of people with their big, bewildered eyes staring at her, only Chu Molin had an amused smile.
