Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1275: Chapter 1269: Losing Face_1 Chapter 1275: Chapter 1269: Losing Face_1 “I have no objections to this, as long as you two don’t have any.” The old man said, waving his hand, after hearing what his daughter-in-law had spoken and noticing the whole family were looking at him.

Adopting a child isn’t a big deal, especially if it’s for a good cause. Helping one person if you can is a good deed. As for whether the child’s destiny matches with ours, that’s not something we need to concern ourselves with. If you want to adopt, then go ahead.

“Thank you, Dad.” Nangong Shulan was overjoyed when she heard her father-in-law had no objections. She knew her in-laws would accept Qing Zhu just as they had accepted her.

Now, if Qing Zhu agrees, then the matter is settled. In the future, living here, they can help take care of her, making life less difficult for both mother and daughter.

“What is there to thank for? I first met your mother because my father-in-law had helped me back in the day. When their family had a hard time, I married her and ended up helping you. My son married you later. Our family seems to have a destiny with such matters. If we can help, we will.” Mr. Qin recalled how, in his younger days, he had received financial assistance from his wife’s father due to his family’s difficult financial situation.

Although his father did not live much longer after that, his peaceful demise was owed to their help. Thus, his father got to see him happily married before passing away.

“Exactly, your father and I were brought together because of such a matter, and then we met you. Look at us now, we have gained a wonderful daughter-in-law by extending a helping hand.” The old woman laughed.

Because her father helped her husband, when their family was persecuted, she managed to marry just in time and avoided much suffering. Her father said that helping his son-in-law was one of the most correct things he’d ever done, as it eventually resulted in helping his own daughter. Therefore, on his deathbed, he had urged his daughter and son-in-law to help others whenever they could.

Helping others is helping oneself. He had personally experienced this principle and thus, firmly believed that good deeds always get repaid. Mr. Qin and the old woman had always remembered this last wish and strived to fulfill it.

“Yeah, yeah.” Qin Lei and Nangong Shulan nodded in agreement.

Qin Jiale couldn’t believe there was such a story in her family’s history. It sounded exactly like a plot from a movie. She felt like their past could be turned into a film.

“Speaking of which, I feel like some things are predestined. We should just go with the flow.” The old woman also felt that the happenings in their family seemed to follow a continuous thread.

“Okay.” Everyone in the family agreed.

“What happened at Mr. Qin’s house that you mentioned when you came home?” The old woman remembered the reason for their late return.

“We heard from the villagers that Mr. Qin’s daughter has gone insane. She’s at the entrance of the village. We didn’t stay to hear more.” Nangong Shulan answered when she heard her mother-in-law’s question.

“Speaking of which, she brought it upon herself. This issue hasn’t been settled yet, and now there’s another scandal.” The old woman had heard about the incident that happened during the New Year and felt it was a disgrace to the villagers.

Now, she heard gossip everywhere in the village. The scandal had spread to other villages. People from other villages were afraid to marry their daughters into their village, or marry daughters from their village, fearing they might end up with another disgraceful woman. One bad apple spoils the whole barrel.

“Who could disagree?” Nangong Shulan glanced at her young daughter who was still eating. There were some things she couldn’t say in front of her daughter or her father-in-law, so she agreed with her mother-in-law’s words and the rumors circulating outside.
