Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 994: Chapter 988 Squawk_1

“Hey, Jiale, that’s not right. What’s wrong with me praising your brother-in-law? Am I not telling the truth? Those two men of theirs can’t be compared at all.” Aunt Dazui was taken aback by Qin Jiale’s words. She only thought Qin Xue would like to hear such a statement, she didn’t expect it to provoke Qin Jiale’s thoughts like this.

“Even though they can’t be compared, you couldn’t say it in front of everyone, could you? You’re aware of what my sister has been gossiped about in the village. I suppose you know who’s behind these rumours. Can’t people live in peace? No one is bothering anyone, right?

So why does my sister’s reputation have to be smeared? How does ruining my sister’s reputation benefit her?” Qin Jiale knew that rumors spread so quickly thanks to Dazui’s meddling. But she had not heard her say anything bad about her sister, so she couldn’t accuse her directly. But hearing Dazui talk about her sister like that, she was not pleased.

“My goodness, Jiale, you’re still unmarried. A single person like you shouldn’t be so fiery. Otherwise, it will be hard to find a good household to marry into. Who would want to marry such a strong-willed daughter-in-law?” Dazui looked at Qin Jiale with some displeasure after hearing her words.

“Aunt Dazui, isn’t the rift between you and Li Cuifen because you always say things about her?” Qin Jiale was exasperated. To dare speak about her in such a manner, how was she to swallow this indignation? Not everyone would let Dazui belittle them, right?

She’s still in high school, and hasn’t even thought about marriage yet. Speaking about her like this, how will people think of her in the future? Would a good family ever take a liking to her?

So, if you won’t let me live in peace, why should I put up with you? Let’s just all be miserable together.

“Jiale, is that how you should talk?” Dazui was choked with anger. Everyone in the Qin family village knew about her rocky relationship with her daughter-in-law, and now Qin Jiale’s words were like stabbing her in the heart.

“Aunt Dazui, I didn’t say anything. We simply made a single remark. Isn’t it a very ordinary thing to say?” Jin Jiale pretended not to understand Dazui’s words.

“I am only now aware that all of you in the Qin family are handfuls.” Hearing this, Dazui was genuinely angry. She was generally a good person and couldn’t stand to be compared to her daughter-in-law, who was unsteady, and she herself loved to chatter. Therefore, the two were incompatible and being together almost always ended in a quarrel, so it left a sour taste in Dazui’s mouth even now.

Now, hearing Qin Jiale say those words made her even more upset, which made her restlessness worse.

“Aunt Dazui, what do you mean by saying we Qins are not ‘handfuls’? Do you have a problem with our family? My younger sister is still young, if you talk about her like that, wouldn’t she have to challenge you? Besides, I am already married. I’m still being talked about in the village. As my sister, isn’t she just defending me? If she genuinely didn’t care about me, I would question whether she was my real sister, you know what I mean?” said Qin Xue calmly.

She could ignore it when people spoke ill of her, but it was not acceptable when it came to her family. It’s already good that she doesn’t swear at people. But to speak ill of her family, they would have to ask for her consent first.

In her previous life, Qin Xue didn’t receive love from her family. She only had her grandparents. In this life, her family treats her very well, so she wants to protect them. As long as she is there, she would not let others bully them.
