Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space - Chapter 1231

Chapter 1231: Chapter 1225: Mother’s Heart_1 Chapter 1231: Chapter 1225: Mother’s Heart_1 Qin Xue had bought quite a lot of pork belly and ribs, they were only able to purchase because they had meat coupons. Otherwise, given the current shortage of pork, there would be no chance for them to get any.

“Sister-in-law, I also have some meat coupons. I’ll give them all to you, so you can buy more meat to cook delicious meals in the future.” Chu Xiaoqiao had those coupons because her grandmother gave them to her, intending them to be used for purchasing meat for Qin Xue.

“Where did you get these coupons?” Qin Xue was surprised to see several meat coupons in Chu Xiaoqiao’s hand. These coupons were hard to come by.

“They were given by my grandma. She has a retirement subsidy, and grandpa has one as well so she gave hers to me.” Chu Xiaoqiao saw no reason not to accept it as her grandmother was helping Qin Xue’s family.

Instead of giving it directly, she decided to contribute by bringing good food for everyone in the family under the pretense of dining together. This way, everyone can enjoy without their pride being hurt, a perfectly good arrangement.

“You should return that. How do you feel comfortable taking all those coupons from an elderly lady?” Qin Xue widened her eyes, surprised at Chu Xiaoqiao’s audacity.

“Anyway, there are other people in the house with coupons. Since my grandma gave them to me, of course I take them. Otherwise, it would upset her. She knows I like to eat meat, so she gave the meat coupons to me.” Chu Xiaoqiao thought, absent this, she wouldn’t entertain thoughts of improving your lives.

What Chu Xiaoqiao didn’t realize was that Qin Xue’s family wasn’t in dire straits. The current situation only resulted from Fang Xiu’s presence, which made her unable to flaunt. Since Chu Xiaoqiao never accompanied Qin Xue to buy groceries, she was unaware of Qin Xue’s financial standing.

If Chu Xiaoqiao only knew Qin Xue co-owns a clothing factory, her reaction would be interesting.

Then, would she still think that Qin Xue’s family is financially struggling and in need of help?

Qin Xue, in return, was clueless about Chu Xiaoqiao’s intention in helping with her grandmother’s coupons. She could not fathom that Chu Xiaoqiao offered the tickets for their sake.

Otherwise, Qin Xue would have confessed that she wasn’t short on finances. She not only had income from the clothing factory but also from a clothing store and a liquor shop. The income from these two were more than sufficient to live a decent life. Why was Chu Xiaoqiao so insistent on pegging her as a pauper?

Sadly, Qin Xue was oblivious to Chu Xiaoqiao’s thoughts, and Chu Xiaoqiao was unaware of Qin Xue’s feelings. Thus, a glamorous misunderstanding was born.

“Alright, I think we purchased enough for now. We’ll buy more when it’s finished.” Qin Xue, seeing her overflowing grocery bags, decided against buying any more.

“This already seems like a lot.” Chu Xiaoqiao was somewhat taken aback by Qin Xue’s purchasing power.

“They all have quite the appetite, this wouldn’t suffice.” Qin Xue was thinking about her family. They were all hearty eaters, especially Xue Ling. She always marveled at how tiny Xue Ling could accommodate so much food. It was an incredible feat that always left her amazed.

“That’s true. It’s a good thing you always cook a lot. Otherwise, I’m sure we’d still be hungry.” Chu Xiaoqiao, recalling the numerous times she dined at Qin Xue’s house, realized the meal portions were always large enough to last several meals in any other house. But at their house, it all gets finished in one sitting.

If it were any ordinary household, it would be impossible to keep up, especially with her brother being a soldier, earning more than the average worker. Add in a bonus for going on missions, and she worried the children would starve.

Qin Xue, if she knew about Chu Xiaoqiao’s preoccupation, she would dismiss it as an overreaction. Even if she had to starve, she would never let her children go hungry. That’s the mindset of a mother; her children were most important. She would scrimp and save on herself, but when it came to her kids, money was never an issue.
