Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 2138: Chapter 2132: Former Residence

"Hehe, who would have thought they were actually your family, Xuezhi is really lucky." The woman who had been embarrassed thought resentfully, but her face still wore a flattering smile. After all, the couple’s positions were higher than theirs. Overall, the two women were about equal, but their men differed by a rank, so she had to humble herself.

But only she knew what she was really thinking. Admitting her inferiority now didn’t mean she would always remain in a lesser position.

"Because this is also my first time meeting my daughter-in-law, I just didn’t expect you’d like her as soon as you saw her. It’s truly our Xue’er’s good fortune." Zhao Xuezhi replied with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. If anyone wanted to dig away at the Chus, it was up to her to decide whether she’d allow it.

"Hehe, your family really keeps your daughter-in-law tightly. I suppose many are meeting her for the first time?" The woman from before was unwilling to concede.

"What are you talking about? She has to work every day, take care of her own affairs, and look after the child. How much free time does she have for socializing? So it’s not that we keep her tightly but that she is ambitious and committed to her progress." Zhao Xuezhi said.

This daughter-in-law was someone she had just met and wanted to treat well; she wouldn’t let anyone disgrace her.

"Hehe, they all say Xuezhi will be a good mother-in-law, and indeed, it’s true. Being your family’s daughter-in-law is a blessing earned in previous lives." The woman was silenced, understanding that her eldest daughter-in-law did nothing but wait at home, and realized Zhao Xuezhi wasn’t as easily taken advantage of as she seemed. Though her daughter might be unconvinced, she had to remain silent, noticing how Zhao Xuezhi’s every sentence seemed to target her, making listeners uncomfortable.

"That’s also the good fortune of our Chu family, having married well." Zhao Xuezhi was in a good mood today, having seen Qin Xue, so she wasn’t as indifferent as usual when people spoke to her.

In any case, she couldn’t let her daughter-in-law become a laughingstock, could she?

"Exactly, the Chu family is fortunate, and Xuezhi, you are a good one too." Others, having watched the exchange, nodded and echoed the sentiment.

People in the room continued chatting casually, occasionally discussing topics like whose daughter was still single.

But no matter what, they couldn’t possibly talk about Zhao Xuezhi today, as it was her son’s big day. How senseless would it be to bring bad luck to her? It would only disgrace their own family.

Because once the word spread, people would just say they were being unreasonable, bringing discord to someone’s joyous occasion.

"Xiaoqiao, your house is quite big, it seems the treatment received differs greatly based on background." Qin Xue thought of where the original owner lived and compared it to Chu Xiaoqiao’s place, the difference was like night and day.

"Big sister-in-law, don’t tease me, this was my big brother’s room. Would you like to take a look inside?" Chu Xiaoqiao said to Qin Xue as they walked up to a room, pointing at it.

"Did your big brother always live here?" Qin Xue didn’t expect to find herself at Chu Molin’s former residence.

"I’m not too sure about the specifics, since after I was born, he was already staying here. By the time I was old enough to remember, he had already left home, so my memories of my big brother are mostly from the photos on his desk." Chu Xiaoqiao really didn’t know much about the past, but she had been earnestly trying to get along with her big brother.

Back when she was little, she wanted to play with her big brother and have fun together, but he always looked at her coldly, which scared her so much she didn’t dare approach him.
