Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 772: Chapter 766: Chu Yi Meets Qin Xue

Chu Yi never expected his eldest brother to become so cold that just being in his presence felt so intimidating. It made him feel oppressed, and it was embarrassing;

“Hello, I’m Qin Xue. I don’t dare to receive your instruction, but please feel free to speak up and we can discuss it together.” Qin Xue looked at the young man who somewhat resembled Chu Molin and responded with a smile.

“Hehe, sister-in-law is being modest.” Chu Yi was not an unworldly person either. At first glance, he knew that his sister-in-law was not an ordinary woman, and it would be hard for someone without some skills to handle her.

“I am not being modest. I am just a woman; I don’t dare to talk about instruction.” Qin Xue didn’t take his compliment seriously.

“Well then, I won’t say those polite words. Where are you going for a walk?” Although Chu Yi was talking to Qin Xue, he was looking at Chu Molin. He wanted his eldest brother to have a conversation with him. His brother hadn’t returned home for more than ten years, and life only has so many decades.

He didn’t know what had happened back then, but his mother told him that his elder brother still had their family in his heart and loved him and his sister. Now his brother was just sad and going outside to breathe a little. His brother would come back when he felt better. He believed it when he was younger, but as he grew older and wiser, he knew that it wasn’t so simple. However, he still longed for his brother’s return.

...
“Just taking a look around. Xiaoqiao, where’s the child?” Qin Xue asked Chu Xiaoqiao, thinking she had gone to hold the baby. But now she only saw Xiaoqiao standing there empty-handed.

“Dad’s back. He’s holding the baby.” Chu Xiaoqiao didn’t want to say that the three old people were fighting over holding the baby.

“Oh, I see.” Qin Xue was astonished. Since when had their two children become so popular? And would they ever get them back?

“Yeah, when mom comes back, she’ll want to hold them too.” Chu Xiaoqiao said, knowing that after her dad held the baby, her mom wouldn’t be willing to miss out.

In their family, women had a higher status than men. This was all thanks to her grandmother, who was doted on by her grandfather. As a result, her father also doted on her mother.

This led to the men in their family feeling that women were more important. They naturally placed women above men. But why should they have so much say in her marriage? This was something Chu Xiaoqiao found it hard to accept.

“Alright, stop standing here. Go wash your hands and eat.” Chen Lei interrupted their conversation when she saw that they were still chatting in the living room instead of going into the dining room.

“Thank you, Mrs. Li.” Qin Xue said her thanks after listening to Chen Lei’s words.

“You’re too polite, child.” Chen Lei laughed at Qin Xue’s manners. She seemed to be a very polite child.

Everyone took turns washing their hands and going into the dining room for dinner. Usually, only a few people had dinner at the Lis’, but today was a rare occasion when so many people gathered in the dining room.

“Everyone, please sit. Make yourselves at home.” Li Changshan looked at these outstanding young people, beaming as if they were all part of his Li family.

“Thank you.” Chu Molin sat down with his wife at the head of the table, followed by Li Zhao and his wife. Chu Xiaoqiao and Chu Yi could only sit on the other side next to Li Guoqiang and Chen Lei.

“You’re all in for a treat today. This is a meal cooked by our madam herself. Please eat more.” Mrs. Xu smiled at them, placed the dishes on the table, and then left the room.

Although the Lis didn’t have a habit of not eating with their housekeeper, Mrs. Xu insisted on eating in the kitchen. They had told her many times, but she remained persistent, so they let her be.
