Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 1142: Chapter 1142: You’ve Been a Bit Violent Lately

”But who injected the laxative into the dishes? It feels like this matter isn’t that simple,” An Hao expressed a faint concern. ”It’s all too coincidental! Do you think someone has a conflict of interest with you and doesn’t dare to confront you openly, so they resort to these despicable methods?”

”Hmm. This matter is quite peculiar, just be careful of the people around you! Don’t let anyone stab you in the back,” Zhang Yun advised Qin Jian.

”Hmm. Don’t worry! I will be more cautious from now on,” Qin Jian nodded thoughtfully.

After dinner, Qin Jian walked back from a stroll with An Hao, and they both went upstairs.

As the weather gradually warmed, An Hao took the opportunity while Qin Jian was also at home to ask him to help organise the wardrobe—storing away the winter clothes and bringing out the spring attire.

Qin Jian was responsible for taking all the clothes out of the wardrobe and placing them in front of An Hao, while she only had to fold the disheveled clothes.

”What’s this?” Qin Jian pulled out something wrapped in red cloth from the innermost part of the wardrobe.

An Hao glanced at it and remembered, ”That oh, is the bracelet your foster mother gave me.”

”You always said to have the bracelet appraised, but you never did. One day when I’m off, I will look for a reliable jade expert to have it appraised! After that, you should store it properly, so when you become a mother-in-law in the future, you can pass the bracelet on to your daughter-in-law,” Qin Jian chuckled.

”No need,” An Hao flatly refused. ”Just let the bracelet stay there for now! When your foster mother asks for it someday, I’ll give it to her then.”

Qin Jian felt something was off in her tone, ”What happened? Even your way of addressing her has changed, hasn’t it?”

Recalling yesterday’s events, An Hao felt it necessary to discuss with Qin Jian, ”Yesterday, I had a falling out with your foster mother.”

”Did I hear wrong?” Qin Jian was momentarily stunned.

”You heard right,” An Hao said, ”You also know what Qin Fen did! He went behind our backs, sold the produce at a lower price, and pocketed the money. An Ping couldn’t recover the lost amount. I got so angry, I hit him! And then, ...”

The rest of the story, Qin Jian could guess without An Hao needing to finish.

”So, she sided with him! You two had an argument, and she demanded the bracelet back?”

”Exactly,” An Hao sighed deeply and looked up at Qin Jian, ”I also smashed your family’s things.”

Qin Jian was shocked for three seconds, ”Wife, you’ve been quite violent lately!”

”This is intolerable! You didn’t see how infuriating they were,” An Hao still felt pain in her chest just thinking about it, ”I guess what people say about ingrates must be true.”

”Alright, don’t be angry anymore,” Qin Jian sat down and gently rubbed her back, ”I know you’ve worried a lot about Qin Family matters these past two years. I’m fully aware. This time, Qin Fen’s behavior was too outrageous! Even I can’t forgive him for it. I understand why you were angry. But, no more fighting or smashing things in the future. Luckily, you didn’t get into trouble. What if something had happened to you? It would have been my lifelong regret. From now on, leave Qin Family issues to me; you don’t need to worry about them
