Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1749: Chapter 1743 Jin Wenxin

“Xiao Yu, don’t worry. I’ll definitely look after the store for you, so you can go home and see your family without worries,” said Jin Wenxin, who had to retire because of a leg injury.

Although his leg now doesn’t appear to have any obvious issues, the injury affected his bone, so his leg cannot bear too much weight, nor can he engage in strenuous activities or intense movements. Ultimately, he had no choice but to retire and return home.

However, after living in the military for many years, he found it difficult to adapt to many things after coming home. For a long time, he hadn’t been able to find a suitable job.

During a chance encounter, he met Jing Xin. Later, upon learning about his situation, Jing Xin thought of Qin Yu, who was juggling studying and managing the store and was overly burdened. Jing Xin suggested the idea of letting Jin Wenxin work at the store, and surprisingly, Qin Yu agreed without hesitation.

It was a situation that helped Jing Xin, helped himself, and also helped Jin Wenxin—a win-win-win. Of course, Qin Yu would not turn down such an offer.

Now, Jin Wenxin’s assistance has truly been a great help to Qin Yu. Despite his upright nature, Jin Wenxin wasn’t rigid or stubborn, so Qin Yu felt assured entrusting him with responsibilities.

“With Brother Jin helping out, I can rest easy. Alright, I’m heading off. Don’t stay open too late—there’s usually no business at night, so close up early and rest,” Qin Yu reminded Jin Wenxin.

“Got it. Be careful,” Jin Wenxin replied. He didn’t know that Qin Yu had trained with Chu Molin and the others for a while, and therefore didn’t realize that Qin Yu actually had some self-defense skills. Though he couldn’t compare to Chu Molin and the others, he was still slightly stronger than the average person.

Qin Yu waved goodbye, picked up his luggage, and left. He had already learned everything he needed to, and his exams were finished. Now, it was just a matter of waiting to see if he would be admitted to the academy in the Imperial Capital.

Because of this, he finally had time to go home. Otherwise, he would have spent all his time studying and preparing.

When Qin Yu arrived at the station, he immediately purchased a ticket to return home. Upon reaching home, he was surprised to find the house unusually lively.

“Who are you looking for?” Silver Wolf had just arrived at the Qins from outside when he saw Qin Yu standing at the door. He stared at Qin Yu for a moment, a flicker of astonishment flashing in his eyes. As far as he knew, that person didn’t have a son—so who was this man, and why was he here?

“I…”

“Xiao Yu? Why are you back? Don’t you have classes?” Qin Xue, hearing voices at the door, stepped outside and was startled to see her brother. What a surprise! They had originally planned to leave tomorrow night, but being able to see her brother before leaving—what a delightful surprise!

“Sis, when did you come back? Why didn’t you tell me?” Qin Yu was about to respond to the man’s question when his sister interrupted. But how had he not known that his sister was back?

“I had something going on. I brought the kids back for Mom to take care of them for a while. Did you finish your exams?” Qin Xue recalled that her little brother was supposed to take exams. Since he was taking the entrance exams, he must have finished since those exams were usually scheduled earlier than others.

“Yes, I finished the exams early. I stayed at the store for a while before coming back to see Mom and Dad. I didn’t expect you to be back too—if I’d known, I would’ve come sooner,” Qin Yu said. He truly hadn’t anticipated this; otherwise, he wouldn’t have delayed so long.

“I wasn’t home before, so even if you’d come earlier, you wouldn’t have seen me,” Qin Xue said as she offered to help carry Qin Yu’s luggage. But Qin Yu didn’t let her, choosing instead to handle it himself.

Silver Wolf watched the siblings’ interaction and couldn’t help but wonder. Were they really siblings? Was there something here he didn’t know? And had they perhaps forgotten him—why did no one seem to acknowledge him?
