Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 1324: Chapter 1324: It’s All Up to You How to Deal with It

Upon hearing An Hao’s words, Qin Jian remembered that An Hao did indeed mention having the bracelet appraised before.

”No matter what, that bracelet is an heirloom passed down in the Qin Family. Since it’s worth a fortune, wouldn’t it be wrong to sell it?”

Qin Jian was not just fond of a bracelet; rather, since it was a family heirloom, it was meant to be handed down from generation to generation.

If it was not absolutely necessary, it was better not to sell it.

”I also think it’s a pity.” The jade bracelet was a vibrant green throughout, utterly pleasing to the eye at first glance.

Before, she did not understand, but later she realized that the jade was exceptionally pure.

”But if we don’t sell this bracelet, where else can we gather such a large sum of money? I don’t want to see the An Family collapse like this,” An Hao added.

”Do you really have to turn things around now?” What Qin Jian meant was that the An Family was greatly weakened now, and they were thinking of borrowing money to make a comeback without taking some time to recuperate.

If they succeeded, it would be cause for celebration for everyone.

But what if they failed? Wouldn’t that just be adding insult to injury?

Moreover, with An Hao being over three months away from giving birth, he did not want her to go through such turmoil.

”We must turn things around.” Now was the best opportunity, as there was not yet a large vegetable wholesale company on the market.

There might not be one now, but there was no guarantee that wouldn’t change soon, so they needed to seize the moment and quickly start and run their company.

”The bracelet is yours now. How you handle it is entirely up to you.” Knowing he couldn’t stop An Hao, Qin Jian reluctantly left the decision to her.

After Qin Jian said this, An Hao hesitated a bit, ”Maybe I should ask Uncle Qin for his opinion tomorrow.”

Qin Jian nodded in agreement, but the idea of An Hao calling his father ”Uncle Qin” sounded very awkward to him.

”Do you really plan to call him ’Uncle Qin’ from now on?”

”Yes.” He did not deny that Qin Ru Hai was a good man, but after all that had happened, she had lost her favorable impression of the Qin Family.

Qin Jian sighed deeply, ”As you wish.”

After all, without the meddling of his stepmother and Qin Fen, the An Family would not have fallen into its current state, so it was only natural for An Hao to feel no affection for the Qin Family.

He did not wish to aggrieve his wife, so he could only go along with her.

Fortunately, An Hao was not unreasonable, and she had always shown utmost respect to her foster father, Qin Ru Hai.

The next day.

Qin Jian accompanied An Hao back to the Qin Family.

The family had just finished breakfast, and Li Junping was scrubbing the pots. Seeing An Hao and Qin Jian from a distance, her expression darkened, and she forcefully threw the pot-scraping water at An Hao’s feet.

An Hao paused mid-step, looking at Li Junping with a cold gaze.

”What are you looking at? Why have you come to my house?” Li Junping said irritably.

”Mom! What are you doing?” Qin Jian frowned, ”No matter what the disagreement is between you two, it shouldn’t be expressed in this way.”

”You still know I’m your mother?” Li Junping glared at Qin Jian, her words laced with dissatisfaction, ”They say marrying a wife means forgetting one’s mother, and it couldn’t be truer! Your eyes and heart are only for your wife, where’s the room for me, your mother? Especially since I am but a stepmother!”

Qin Ru Hai heard the exchange in the yard and strode out from behind the bamboo curtain, his face stern. He addressed Li Junping, ”Our child has finally come for a visit, and this is the attitude you present? Are you fit to be an elder?”
