Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1837: Chapter 1831: Obeying in Public, Opposing in Private

“You guys head back first, bring your client over for a meal another day.” Chu Molin didn’t suggest eating out because he felt eating at home was more enjoyable than eating out.

If this was an ordinary client, Chu Molin might not have invited them home. But since they had a good relationship with Xiao Qi, he felt that bringing them home showed respect, right?

“Thank you in advance.” The client didn’t expect this man would invite him to their home again, so he felt quite happy. He came today because of his connection with Xiao Qi, but after seeing that Chu Molin and his wife were nice people, he wanted to become better acquaintances.

“No need to be polite, actually, we should be the ones to thank you for bringing us back.” Chu Molin softened his tone a little when he saw the appreciation in the client’s eyes, although his manner remained somewhat cold.

“Alright, Ning Qing, let’s go.” Xiao Qi was too lazy to listen to their polite exchanges any longer.

“Okay, we’ll head off then, see you.” Ning Qing smiled, thinking Xiao Qi was indeed quite blunt.

“See you.” Chu Molin nodded.

After Xiao Qi and the others left, everyone stood in the yard, looking at everything inside the house. Tidying up was indeed going to require a bit of effort.

“Xue Ling, move some chairs out to the yard for the children to sit on. Let’s start cleaning up, or we won’t be able to eat until dark, forget about dinner.” Qin Xue said to Xue Ling behind her.

“Got it, Sister Qin Xue. It won’t take long with all of us working together.” Xue Ling looked at the adults in the yard. Apart from Dongfang Li, who was pregnant, everyone else could help out. With so many people, it wouldn’t take much time to tidy up everything.

“Exactly, Qin Xue, stop worrying. I’ll help out too.” Qing Zhu responded in unison with Dongfang Li.

“Qing Zhu can join us, but as for Dongfang Li, forget it. You stay here with the kids, we’ll handle it ourselves.” Qin Xue didn’t dare rely on Dongfang Li to help. What if she accidentally bumped into something? Better to just have a few of them handle it.

“I can do it too. I’ve done it at home, don’t worry.” Dongfang Li had always tidied up her own room, so she really was capable.

Originally, there were maids for that, but she didn’t like others entering their rooms, so she mostly learned to do it herself, from knowing nothing to becoming proficient.

Even though he often didn’t come home, she continued tidying and organizing, and even if she was the only one living there, she felt happy and gradually learned these skills.

Hearing Qin Xue’s words, Dongfang Li thought Qin Xue assumed she couldn’t do it, so she spoke up to clarify her capability.

“It’s not that you can’t, it’s just that with your belly, it’s inconvenient. Better for you to keep the kids company here, otherwise we’d have to be extra mindful of watching over you, which is too much of a hassle.” Qin Xue spoke without worrying about Dongfang Li taking it the wrong way; since they were at home and would be friends in the future, she’d rather be straightforward. Wouldn’t it be tiring to keep up pleasantries all the time?

Qin Xue felt that living at home meant being more true to oneself, so she spoke her mind directly. If someone could take it, great, if not, it would prove they weren’t someone she could truly confide in.

Qin Xue’s words were indeed a bit blunt; not everyone prefers straightforwardness. If this was the criteria, really, there wouldn’t be many people who could meet it in the world.

That’s why so many people like to flatter and pretend to agree while disagreeing, saying one thing to someone’s face and another behind their back. It’s a typical case of speaking human words to humans and speaking ghostly words to ghosts. The words sound nice, but whether or not they’re sincere is another question.
