Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

”I trust that Auntie wouldn’t do anything detrimental to our family. Isn’t that right?”

Shen Nian understood the carrot-and-stick approach. Simply scaring Guo Chunxiang wasn’t enough. The crucial thing was to make her never bring the matter up again!

”Yes, of course! We’re all family. How could I ever do something like that!”

’Even though that’s exactly what I wanted to do, how could I admit it in front of all these people!’

”In that case, does Auntie still want to play matchmaker for my big brother? Hmm?”

Of course, Guo Chunxiang wanted to say yes. But when she heard Shen Nian’s ”Hmm?” and saw that chilling look in her eyes, Guo Chunxiang didn’t dare risk it.

’Forget it. Just forget it. Looks like I really won’t be getting that reward after all. I can’t get myself into trouble just for a bit of personal gain!’

”Fine, fine! Since you’re all so ungrateful, why should I bother with this thankless job! But let me warn you, this is your last chance! If Xiang Dong can’t find a wife in the future, don’t you dare blame me for not helping you out!”

Even as she was giving up, Guo Chunxiang couldn’t resist one last jab. But the words that came out were just so unpleasant.

Gritting his teeth, Shen Jian Country spoke up. As the head of the family, he couldn’t let the younger generation handle everything.

”Thank you for the kind offer, Sister-in-law, but we won’t need your help with Xiang Dong’s marriage. If there’s nothing else, please head home.”

Being asked to leave so directly by Shen Jian Country, Guo Chunxiang was naturally displeased. However, she knew this family truly didn’t welcome her. Since she couldn’t make the match, there was no point in staying any longer.

”Hmph. What an ungrateful family. I’m leaving, I’m leaving. I can’t believe I wasted half my day coming all the way out here!”

After saying her piece, Guo Chunxiang got up to leave. On her way out, she spotted a few pieces of fruit on the dining table and didn’t hesitate to swipe them into her bag. After all, she’d come all this way; she couldn’t be allowed to leave completely empty-handed. Even a few pieces of fruit were worth money!

”Take care, Auntie! And don’t you worry, my big brother will definitely find a wonderful wife for himself! Someone a million times better than the one you suggested!”

Shen Nian didn’t forget to add that last part just as Guo Chunxiang was stepping out of the Shen family’s doorway. Sure enough, upon hearing Shen Nian’s words, Guo Chunxiang stumbled and nearly fell flat on her face.

After that, she didn’t dare linger for a second longer and scurried away.

Once they saw Guo Chunxiang was truly gone, everyone in the Shen family finally burst out laughing.

”Sis, you’re amazing! I can’t believe you scared Auntie that badly!”

When it came to today’s events, Shen Xiangnan wasn’t impressed by anyone but Shen Nian. If it weren’t for her, their aunt would never have given up so easily.

”That’s only because she has a guilty conscience. Otherwise, how could a few words from me have scared her? Xiang Nan, you need to remember this: from now on, you can’t believe a single word that aunt says.”

”I’m not an idiot, of course I wouldn’t believe her! She’s the only one who thinks our family would fall for her tricks!”

Shen Nian pursed her lips. ’In my past life, maybe they really did fall for her tricks! It’s a shame I wasn’t with the Shen family back then. I have no idea how my big brother’s marriage ended up being arranged.’

’But in this life, as long as I’m here and paying attention, I will never let my big brother marry a woman like that!’

”Ouch! What’d you hit me for?”

Just as Shen Nian was lost in thought, someone tapped her on the forehead.
