Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 940: Chapter 934: Let Fang Xiu go to the Qins’ Village for the New Year_1

“Xue’er, you must understand that your safety trumps everything else. Only when you’re safe and sound can I completely dedicate myself to work. Otherwise, I will be distracted wondering how you’re doing, if you’re okay. Can you see me being able to maintain a good performance at work or take care of myself under such circumstances?” Chu Molin sighed and pulled the woman into his arms. As a soldier, once on the battlefield, he had no time for distractions – otherwise, he might end up buried under the yellow soil of the battlefield.

His mind was now all on this woman. If she couldn’t take good care of herself, he would inevitably be distracted with worry about her. Under such circumstances, how could he concentrate fully on confronting the enemy? He could only imagine the possible outcomes.

“I understand. From now on, I will take good care of myself. Please don’t be angry anymore. I’ll definitely calculate the consequences before I do anything,” Qin Xue promised, trying to reassure him and alleviate his worry in any way she could.

“Sure, you must do as you say, you know. Otherwise, one day you’ll be the death of me.” Chu Molin thought that he could only resort to frightening her this way, otherwise, she would keep forgetting.

“Stop being a prophet of doom! If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll ignore you!” Qin Xue looked at him annoyedly. Could he just say anything?

“Would you be afraid if I didn’t express it this way? Think about it, isn’t it the truth?” Chu Molin handed her her clothes and helped her put on her shoes.

...
“I said I got it, can’t you just drop it?” Qin Xue was really exasperated. Who could tell her why someone so aloof could turn into such a fusspot once they dropped their aloofness?

“Fine, I’ll drop it. Now, let’s go out for dinner. Weren’t you saying something about asking Fang Xiu to come back to the Qin’s village with us? You can talk to her about that. If she doesn’t agree, don’t get upset, okay? Be gentle in your negotiations.” Chu Molin was afraid she’d rush things and that wouldn’t be good, would it?

“Why do you never run out of things to say to me, but remain quiet with others?” said Qin Xue before walking off, leaving Chu Molin standing still in his tracks.

“Of course, because you’re my wife and others aren’t. What would I have to discuss with them? What a silly girl.” Chu Molin shook his head and followed her out. He was going for a meal, and he wanted to see how his wife would persuade Fang Xiu to come home for the New Year with her.

“Qin Xue, you want me to go to your mother’s house for the New Year?” Fang Xiu wrote with pen and paper.

“Yeah, I’m not comfortable with you, a pregnant woman with a child, by yourself. So, might as well join us and consider it a family visit. After all, there’s a high chance you’ll be my cousin’s wife.” Qin Xue picked up a piece of meat and chewed thoughtfully.

“I’m not sure if that’s a good idea.” Fang Xiu hadn’t expected Qin Xue to have such a plan, she was caught off guard, to say the least.

“I told you before, didn’t I? You’re my cousin’s wife, visiting our home is just a family matter. Or are you saying you don’t want to consider me a family member, or my mom?” Qin Xue fired a series of questions at Fang Xiu.

“No, that’s not it, Qin Xue. I have never thought that way. Please, don’t speak like that. I would be more than happy to have you as my sister-in-law. There’s no way I wouldn’t consider you and your mother as my family. It’s just that going to your home in this situation doesn’t seem quite right.” The heavily pregnant Fang Xiu was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Who would go visiting like her, a pregnant woman with a child and her husband nowhere around? Plus, whether they were relatives or not was yet to be decided, wasn’t it?
