Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 2923: Chapter 2921: Someone Has Arrived

Qin Xue had asked the store clerk before, Chu Xiaoqiao often disappears for a few days at a time. She never mentioned it before, but this time she did, so it must be that she’s encountered something different, or perhaps this time the matter is more dangerous.

”Okay, sister-in-law, you’re just the best.” Chu Xiaoqiao didn’t expect Qin Xue to agree without even asking what the matter was, which truly made her happy.

”Wait for me when you go back later, I’ll give you something.” Although Qin Xue wouldn’t pry into her private matters, she didn’t want anything to happen to her, so she prepared some medicine for injuries or whatnot. If she got hurt, she’d use it; if not, it’s just there at home.

Qin Xue knows what she’s made; it doesn’t take up much space, so it’s just right to give it to her.

That’s how Qin Xue thought: if it’s good, then that’s fine; if not, then it can be used anyway.

”Mmm, okay.” Chu Xiaoqiao didn’t say much, just gave Qin Xue a deep look. Did her sister-in-law guess something?

Chu Xiaoqiao knew Qin Xue is clever, but people this clever are truly rare.

Especially since she understood without saying it out loud, which spared her the trouble of explaining things.

It’s something many people want but can’t get, so if things can be good, that’s naturally the best.

In one’s life, having a confidant is incredibly difficult, and she felt that with her sister-in-law, they were more than family—they were confidants. Someone who could guess her general meaning without asking or explaining, which truly moved her.

Chu Xiaoqiao had never felt this kind of emotion before, so she’s always been emotionally swayed by Qin Xue.

What Chu Xiaoqiao wanted was just that simple: someone to care about her and someone to be concerned for her, and then everything would be alright.

”Alright, stop dwelling on it. Your brother is back; let’s eat. We can talk after dinner.” Qin Xue saw Chu Molin come back and didn’t continue being sentimental with Chu Xiaoqiao.

Some things she could think of, but how to proceed was up to Chu Xiaoqiao.

Because of this, Chu Xiaoqiao felt Qin Xue was great, as she understood without needing explanations, saving her a lot of trouble.

Faced with Chu Xiaoqiao’s demeanor, Qin Xue felt she had many secrets; she just didn’t know how to disclose them.

Forget it, who doesn’t have secrets? Even she herself has some, let alone Chu Xiaoqiao.

”Mmm, sister-in-law’s cooking is the best. I haven’t tasted such delicious food in so long that I’m stuffed.” After gobbling down the food, Chu Xiaoqiao couldn’t help but praise.

”Since that’s the case, the task of cleaning up the dishes is yours.” Qin Xue was truly tired, so she’d rather let the young ones handle the other chores.

”No problem, it’s only fair to do some work after eating.” Chu Xiaoqiao readily agreed.

She wasn’t planning on freeloading anyway; helping out was the right thing to do.

”I was wondering why you guys are never home. This gentleman has been here several times.” Just as the family was chatting and laughing, a voice was heard from outside.

”May I ask who you’re looking for?” Qin Xue puzzledly looked at the two people who entered the courtyard and asked.

”I’m your neighbor. I forgot, you all are busy, and it’s understandable you don’t remember me. But it’s hard to find you when you’re not home every few days. This man came looking for you, and when you weren’t around, I thought I’d help ask around, but never ran into you either.” The person who claimed to be Qin Xue’s neighbor rambled on, explaining why they appeared at their house now.
