Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 297: Chapter 297: The Rhythm of Admiring the Younger Brother’s Wife

She knew Niu Guiying a bit better, having spent her early days in Siyang Village sitting under the big tree at the village entrance, listening to gossip. Niu Guiying was often there too, so they had chatted quite a bit.

Knowing that Niu Guiying lived close to the Chiang Family, Hong Tao went to her first to get an understanding of the situation.

But Niu Guiying told her that Chiang Xiao had hooked up with some wild man from who knows where, and that wild man had even paid to build a wall for her family’s courtyard. When he arrived, he brought a whole truckload of things—stuff for eating, wearing, using, the lot!

Not believing her, Niu Guiying took her over, and that led to the remarks just now.

Chiang Xiao glanced at them lazily.

Right after her rebirth, she had thought of Niu Guiying as a big tiger that could corner her family into a hopeless situation with such ease.

But now, Chiang Xiao couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to Niu Guiying at all.

If she dared to make a scene, she would definitely knock her down directly!

But who was that woman?

Her gaze seemed so odd.

Originally, Chiang Xiao had no intention of dealing with them, but they walked straight up to her.

”Chiang Xiao, what are you doing sitting at the doorway?” Hong Tao thought of her brother’s tantrum-throwing antics and couldn’t let go. Looking at Chiang Xiao again, she felt that Chiang Xiao seemed more radiant than the last time she saw her, as if she had put on some weight and didn’t have that bone-skinny, unlucky look anymore.

And how could her skin be so white and smooth compared to others in the village?

Tsk tsk, no wonder Tie Dan couldn’t keep his eyes off her—she did have seductive qualities.

A hint of a dark light flashed in Hong Tao’s eyes as she peered into the Chiang’s house.

Seeing everything tidy and neatly arranged inside, with lively conversations happening, gave off the feeling of a household about to prosper.

”Not doing anything,” Chiang Xiao responded indifferently. Although she hadn’t yet recognized the woman, she knew anyone who came with Niu Guiying and had such a flirty demeanor couldn’t be up to any good. So, Chiang Xiao had no intention of greeting her.

This attitude of Chiang Xiao somewhat irked Hong Tao.

Hmph, just wait until you become my brother’s wife; my mother will surely mold you properly!

Hong Tao thought to herself.

”Chiang Xiao, don’t you recognize me?”

”No, I don’t.”

”I am Xiao Xing’s Second Sister-in-law, your brother Jinhe’s wife, Hong Tao.” Hong Tao flashed what she believed to be a very kind smile at Chiang Xiao.

Sun Xiaoxing’s Second Sister-in-law?

Sun Jinhe’s wife?

Chiang Xiao was slightly startled. She had never really interacted with Sun Xiaoxing’s family, nor had Hong Tao coming to her home occurred in her previous life. What was going on now?

She didn’t know that in her previous life, Hong Tie Dan had also taken a fancy to her but turned away because her reputation had been tarnished considerably after the drowning incident, and the sweet potato field incident was unfairly linked to her. The overwhelming gossip at the time had made Hong Tie Dan’s parents and Hong Tao strongly oppose him marrying her, and Hong Tie Dan himself had second thoughts because of it.

But in this life, due to Chiang Xiao’s early awakening and her firm handling of issues, she hadn’t been drowned by slander as she had been in her previous life. Thus, Tie Dan’s parents did not oppose, and Hong Tao agreed to the marriage after hearing that Chiang Xiao had spent so much money buying things.

So, the trajectory of this life had already changed.

However, Chiang Xiao wasn’t very familiar with Sun Xiaoxing, and she was completely unfamiliar with Sun Jinhe. Since when did she affectionately call him Brother Jinhe?

Chiang Xiao’s eyes narrowed slightly, ”Second Sister-in-law Sun, is there something you need?”

Why did she feel like it was ’No visit without a reason’? And seeing Niu Guiying snickering on the side, Chiang Xiao dropped her lazy, relaxed demeanor.

Hong Tao took another step closer, intending to hand the child she was carrying over to Chiang Xiao.
