Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1735: Chapter 1729 Scared to Death

“Alright, thank you, Uncle and Auntie.” Silver Wolf felt waves of warmth during his time waiting here.

“Alright, off you go. I won’t hold up your work.” Qin Lei sent him off directly. If they kept delaying, there was really nothing to be done. The longer they dragged it out, the more time they would waste.

“Okay.” Silver Wolf nodded and then left.

“Qin Xue, you all should rest early too, don’t stay up too late,” Nangong Shulan said as she looked at the people remaining. She wondered if they could all squeeze in somehow?

“Okay, Mom, you and Dad rest first. We’ll go a bit later.” Qin Xue saw how her mother hadn’t rested well these past two days and could only let her parents go to bed first.

“Alright. But is it okay for the men to share one bed and the women to share another room?” Nangong Shulan was at her wit’s end. Although there were quite a few rooms in the house, because her son and youngest daughter weren’t home, she hadn’t arranged for additional sleeping spaces.

“It’s fine, Auntie, don’t worry about us. We won’t make a fuss.” They responded to Nangong Shulan. Arrangements like these were no big deal; back in Zhongzhai, they’d been set up like this all the time. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been enough places to sleep.

Besides, they’d have to deal with situations like this often moving forward. If they got too particular, they’d end up sleeping on the streets.

“That works, then.” Nangong Shulan didn’t say anything more. She was feeling pretty tired anyway.

“Are you guys turning in early or staying up to play a while longer?” Qin Xue looked at the kids. Were they not tired yet?

“Mom, let’s go to sleep. You’ve been tired for two days now; it’s better to rest early or your body won’t be able to handle it,” Yu Ze said precociously, sounding like a little adult giving advice.

“Alright, sweetheart, let’s all get some rest. Anything that comes up can wait until tomorrow,” Qin Xue said, now definitely feeling a bit worn out herself. Everyone had been putting in so much effort to support them.

“Alright, Miss, you should rest early too.” Yun had no additional comments. Right now, Nangong Beiying was pregnant; she couldn’t be pushed as hard as before.

“I know, you all go to sleep first. I’ll come in a bit.” Nangong Beiying also needed to sleep; these past two days had really drained her. Luckily, the child had been found. Otherwise, who knew how much longer they would’ve had to keep going?

“Alright then, Xue Ling, you should go sleep too.” Qin Xue looked at the group. Tonight, they could finally get a good night’s sleep.

Early the next morning, Qin Xue was woken up by the sound of roosters crowing. She looked at the sky outside—it was already fully bright.

Life in the countryside was wonderful. Every day, you could hear roosters crowing and birds chirping. The melodies of the little birds were so pleasant and delightful. Qin Xue truly longed for a life like this. But conditions didn’t allow for it right now, so she still had to keep striving. She thought about revisiting this dream once she was in a better position.

“Mom, are you up yet?” Yu Ze called out as he heard movement from the inner room.

“Yes, I’m up. Good morning, Yu Ze, my little sweetheart.” Qin Xue had been listening to the birds’ lively chirping when she suddenly heard her son’s voice. This feeling was wonderful.

“Good morning, Mom!” Yu Ze replied with a cheerful smile.

“You all go ahead and play; I’ll join you in a moment,” Qin Xue said. She hadn’t even changed her clothes yet.

“Alright,” Yu Ze replied, then took the others out to play. Well, he called it playing, but really, it was just him supervising the others and stepping in to help when they couldn’t manage something.

“Good morning, my wife.” Qin Xue had just finished changing her clothes and opened the bedroom door when she was nearly scared out of her wits by the person waiting outside. So early in the morning, and this happened? Thankfully, she didn’t have a weak heart—otherwise, they might’ve had to perform CPR on her right then and there.

“Are you trying to scare me to death?” Qin Xue glared at Chu Molin.
