Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1776: Chapter 1770 Changed

Qin Xue looked at Aunt Wu’s chickens and started to salivate, so she asked Aunt Wu if she was willing to sell them.

“If you want, you can take one, but not two. I still have to keep some for your sister-in-law to eat during her confinement period.” Aunt Wu chuckled as she looked at Qin Xue. That gluttonous expression of hers was truly unmatched.

“Alright, give me one chicken, and I’ll give you money to buy eggs and brown sugar. Those two things are the best for someone during confinement.” Qin Xue figured one chicken was better than none.

“You’ve thought this through, girl. What you’re saying makes sense, but chicken is the most nourishing. Unfortunately, I don’t have enough of them. That’s why I raised a few—planning to eat two myself and trade the others for eggs and brown sugar. Since you want one, go ahead and take it.” Aunt Wu thought about her daughter-in-law, who was about to give birth soon. Trading now wasn’t a problem.

So, when Qin Xue asked, Aunt Wu agreed. If she took them elsewhere to trade, she’d have to worry about someone reporting her, but with Qin Xue, it all worked out just fine.

“Thank you, Aunt Wu.” Qin Xue happily expressed her gratitude after getting her answer.

“You, little girl, ever since you’ve changed your temperament, your mouth has gotten sweeter too.” Aunt Wu found the current Qin Xue much more likable than before.

“Aunt Wu, what are you saying? I’m now a wife and a mother. If I still acted the same way as before, how would life even go on?” Qin Xue felt speechless. She honestly believed that the old Qin Xue was a master at digging pits, while she, the new Qin Xue, was here to fill them. She wondered how many pits she’d already filled on the old Qin Xue’s behalf.

“That’s true. Honestly, we thought you wouldn’t adjust to life so far away, but now it looks like you’re doing much better. That’s good—it saves you from being bothered by all the petty nonsense.” Aunt Wu thought back to the gossip in the village. Those rumors could drive a sane person mad, let alone someone less resilient.

“Aunt Wu, people have mouths of their own, and we can’t control what they say. But we can make sure we live our lives properly, right? If we don’t do anything wrong, isn’t it true that a straight body casts no crooked shadow? We just need to handle what’s in our own hands.” If Qin Xue had to concern herself with everything, she’d work herself to death.

Besides, now that she wasn’t even living in the village anymore, there was no need to argue with anyone. If she did, she might leave the village, but her parents were still here. Letting them hear such things wouldn’t be good—it would make them even more unhappy. Qin Xue felt it wasn’t worth it.

“You’ve really become better at talking; who would’ve thought?” As Qin Xue was chatting with Aunt Wu, a man and woman walked in through the door. But Qin Xue didn’t recognize them, so she didn’t know how to address them. She simply smiled at the pair as a greeting.

“Qin Xue, are you so stunned by how handsome your brother Da Lang is?” Qin Gang laughed as he noticed Qin Xue’s slightly dazed expression.

“What nonsense are you talking about, Da Lang? Looking good is meant for people to see, right? Besides, you’ve already got your wife watching you every day. Aren’t you satisfied yet?” Qin Xue rolled with it, deciding to address him as Da Lang for convenience.

“Hahaha, before, I heard others say Qin Xue had changed, but I didn’t believe it. Now that I’ve seen it for myself, I’m thoroughly convinced. Xiao Zhi, this is Qin Xue, Uncle Lei’s eldest daughter.” Da Lang teased Qin Xue a little before laughing and introducing her to his wife.

“Hello, Qin Xue. I’ve heard so much about you.” Xiao Zhi looked at Qin Xue. She didn’t seem anything like the rumors described. How could this woman resemble the lazy, untidy slob she’d heard about? Not even close.
