Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 780: Chapter 774: Wanting to take the whole Qin Chaoyang family along

Mrs. Qin did not object to the children going to school, because she knew that education was the only way out. She used to be a young lady from a landlord’s family, so she knew what education meant to the poor. Therefore, even though her younger son’s family was struggling, she never asked them to have the children quit school.

Originally, she thought Xiao Yu and Qin Xue would continue to study, so Lele might quit school. But she never expected that the brother and sister would give the opportunity to their younger sister, and even the stubborn Xue did so. Thus, Mrs. Qin felt relieved, as if she hadn’t raised the two children in vain. Now that her son and daughter-in-law had started their own business, the good days seemed to be coming, and she felt more at ease. So when the day came that she passed away, there would be no need to worry about whether they would be able to get by.

“By the way, Mom, I noticed your energy hasn’t been great lately. I bought you some dried lilies and such. You can take them home and boil them into a soup later.” Nangong Shulan had almost forgotten this important matter when she got home and was troubled by that woman.

“What did you buy? I’m just getting old, it’s not a problem. Don’t buy anything in the future, just save the money for emergencies.” Mrs. Qin felt comforted after hearing this. Just having her son and daughter-in-law thinking about her made her happy, they didn’t need to buy her anything.

“Oh, no, we can’t do that. They say having an elder is like having a treasure. You should take care of your health and help us take care of the house.” Nangong Shulan deliberately said this, afraid her mother-in-law wouldn’t accept her offer.

“You girl, when did you learn to say such things?” Mrs. Qin smiled as she looked at her daughter-in-law who had become much more talkative and cheerful.

She still remembered when her daughter-in-law first came to their village, she had fainted and Mrs. Qin had found her. She knew how difficult it was for a woman to stand on her own in society, especially when she saw the sadness on her face. She knew this girl had a story and didn’t hesitate to help her.

But she never imagined that her younger son would take a liking to Nangong Shulan. Fortunately, she appreciated his kindness, and after finding out she was pregnant, agreed to marry her younger son for the child’s sake. In fact, Mrs. Qin knew it was unfair to her younger son. Deep down, she didn’t want her younger son to marry Nangong Shulan.

However, it was what her younger son wanted, and he didn’t mind the child in her belly, so there was nothing Mrs. Qin could do but let them marry. In the years that followed, Mrs. Qin watched her daughter-in-law learn life skills from scratch, and later saw her working hard for her family. Now, she finally saw her daughter-in-law’s happy smile.

It may be said that the reason Mrs. Qin helped Nangong Shulan so much was because she saw herself in her. Only, she was lucky that she didn’t encounter anyone who hurt her and instead met a man who loved her.

Back then, because she was the daughter of a landlord, she was criticized and imprisoned. However, Grandpa Qin didn’t despise her for being the daughter of a landlord and married her using his own clean background to protect her. That’s why when she saw Nangong Shulan for the first time, she was moved deeply. This could also be considered Nangong Shulan’s luck.

“I got it. Even if you don’t buy anything for me, I’ll still take care of the house for you. You don’t have to worry about no one taking care of the house after you leave.” Mrs. Qin came back to reality from her memories and said with a smile.

“Thank you so much, Mom. Later, call Big Brother and his wife over for dinner. It seems they don’t have much income at home. I’ll ask them if they want to do some small business with us, like selling food. It may be tiring but it’s a way to earn money, as long as they’re not afraid of hardship.” Now that Nangong Shulan and her family were getting on track, they wanted to help her eldest brother and his family as well.
