Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 2257: Chapter 2251: Work Comes First

”It’s fine, I originally planned for you to bring them along. Having everyone come together is even better, saves another trip.” Qin Xue never intended to leave Li Zhao out anyway. Isn’t it better now that he’s here? With Chu Molin, Ye Xiao, and her own brother here, he wouldn’t feel awkward as the only guy.

”I’ve never seen someone so shameless.” An Hao felt that Li Zhao was really different in front of her, unusually bold, but then again, if he wasn’t thick-skinned, she wouldn’t have forgiven him so quickly.

”I don’t think you mind his shamelessness at all, you actually seem to like it. Just live your life with him. I see that you’re thinking about something else,” Qin Xue whispered in An Hao’s ear.

”What are you talking about? I’m not thinking about anything. Don’t talk nonsense.” An Hao’s mind was all on running her store well. She wasn’t thinking of anything else.

”I didn’t say anything. Hurry up, don’t keep your Zhaozi waiting.” Qin Xue saw that everyone was ready and prompted them to go together.

”Xiao Yu, Lele, keep up, we’re going to eat at your sister Ying’s place.” They both knew Nangong Beiying was their cousin, so when Qin Xue mentioned sister Ying, they knew whom she was referring to.

”Sis, where did sister Ying go? Why haven’t we seen her?” Qin Jiale already found it strange, and now hearing her sister, she was even more puzzled.

With so many people here, Nangong Beiying should be present too, but she was nowhere to be seen.

”She had to go on a business trip. We can meet up when she gets back.” Qin Xue didn’t quite know how to explain this to her sister, so she used the excuse of a business trip.

”Alright, work is important.” Qin Jiale wasn’t that close to Nangong Beiying. She asked because she thought of her as a family member who always got along well with her sister, which is why she asked when she didn’t see her.

”Yes, her work is quite a lot. Being busy is normal. Sometimes she gets so busy that months pass without seeing each other, which is common.” Qin Xue nodded, deciding not to discuss anything about Nangong Beiying.

”Alright, focus on walking, no endless chatter.” Qin Yu looked at his sister, worry in his eyes. It was so dark, if she wasn’t careful walking she might fall.

The lighting in this alley wasn’t great, and it was fortunate that it was a straightforward path. Otherwise, a girl walking alone at night might be scared.

”Got it, brother. What’s the deal with brother-in-law and that uncle? It feels strange.” Qin Jiale looked at her brother, puzzled by a question that had been bothering her.

Brother-in-law called him ’old man’, sister called him ’dad’. No matter how you listened, it didn’t make sense.

”I’m not sure either. Let’s ask sister when she gets back. Otherwise, we don’t know how to address him.” Qin Yu was confused by it too.

His sister’s question made him realize that if they didn’t figure this out, they truly wouldn’t know the proper way to address him.

”Alright, I won’t ask anymore. Let’s just call him uncle. We can’t just follow sister’s lead in addressing him, right?” Qin Jiale felt it was awkward.

”Alright, let’s call him uncle then. Our sister married brother-in-law, so it wouldn’t be right for us to follow along.” Qin Yu thought about it, and yes, isn’t that how it should be? The saying goes: marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. But they were outsiders, how could they just follow their sister’s way of addressing? Unless Ye Xiao invited them to use the same terms, otherwise, they really couldn’t do that.
