Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space - Chapter 1144

Chapter 1144: Chapter 1138: Casual Chat_1 Chapter 1144: Chapter 1138: Casual Chat_1 Qin Yu and Qin Hao went off to have a chat since Qin Yu thought it valuable to maintain their bond. Qin Yu had made the rare effort to return from S Province and felt it was essential to have a heart-to-heart chat with Qin Hao, or else their friendship might fade away.

Indeed, friendship sometimes requires an effort to maintain; else it fades until they’re like strangers.

“So, you’re Qin Xue. I’d heard from Qin Hao that you’re the most beautiful girl in the village, and now I see it’s true. You’re a beauty,” Yin Zhi had only heard about Qin Xue’s reputation in the village. After asking her husband about her, she learned about some things about Qin Xue.

Now that she saw Qin Xue in person, she found her too beautiful to match any rumors she had heard in the village.

“You’re too kind, sister-in-law. You are truly a beauty. My brother Qin Hao has good taste,” Qin Xue said, looking at the elegantly smiling woman in front of her. Although she was a farmer’s wife, it did nothing to diminish her grace.

“You are too kind, Qin Xue,” Yin Zhi smiled and replied.

Who doesn’t like to hear kind words? Yin Zhi was no exception.

“This is because you are worthy of it, sister-in-law,” Qin Xue said, smiling softly.

“Okay, you two beauties, enough with the compliments,” the village chief’s wife laughed as she watched her daughter-in-law and Qin Xue exchanging compliments.

She never expected her daughter-in-law and Qin Xue to hit it off so quickly.

Seeing their cordiality made her very happy indeed.

“The village chief’s wife talks sensibly. Complimenting two people without offending anyone, clever!” Qin Xue laughingly commented.

“You two are indeed beautiful people, I am not wrong to say it,” laughed the chief’s wife. Her daughter-in-law was naturally beautiful, and Qin Xue’s beauty was acknowledged by everyone, so she wasn’t wrong in her words.

The Qin siblings spent a long time at the village chief’s home before they returned.

Meanwhile, Qin Lang took Qin Huaihe through some back alleys where they could not easily be spotted.

“Uncle, let’s wait here,” Qin Lang pointed at a secluded spot not far away.

“Alright, then let’s wait here,” Qin Huaihe agreed after surveying the place.

“Uncle, you are lucky, look there,” Qin Lang pointed at a place far away for Qin Huaihe to see.

Turned out, it was Nangong Shulan and Qin Lei. After Qin Xue and the others left, Nangong Shulan and Qin Lei went home to prepare gifts for visiting others during New Year’s.

As it happened, Nangong Shulan was seeing Qin Lei out of the house while Qin Huaihe and Qin Lang secretly watched them.

“Shulan, thank you for taking care of the house, I will be back as soon as possible,” Qin Lei said, considering it was important for someone to be at home in case someone came calling.

“Don’t worry, it’s the same every year. And you say the same thing every year,” Shulan, used to hearing this sentence year after year, reassured him.

Every time he would go out for the New Year’s visits, he would always rush back, worrying she would be overwhelmed by the house chores.

“Hehe, it’s because I care for you,” Qin Lei whispered softly beside Nangong Shulan’s ear.

“Oh, you, what if the children heard that? And if the villagers saw us, what will they say?” Nangong Shulan couldn’t help but laugh at him, although they had been married for many years, he had only grown more affectionate towards her. “Who cares? We are a couple, people seeing us so in love might even envy us,” replied Qin Lei, knowing well that sometimes in a relationship, one must throw caution to the wind and risk being shamed, else the romantic sparks would fade, and love would cool down.
