Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1181: I Don’t Care, I Just Can’t Be Outdone

Jiang Peiqin gave Xinyan a thumbs-up: "You’re right, but who told you to block soone’s path to love."

Xinyan looked up at the sky speechlessly.

After sighing, she looked at Jiang Peiqin again: "Soone like her is even more disgusting than Xue Hongjuan. At least Xue Hongjuan confronts you openly, whatever happens is on the surface, but Song Bingjing is the type who hides in the shadows, secretly causing trouble."

Jiang Peiqin thought of the trouble Song Bingjing stirred up at school before. If the matter hadn’t been exposed by Xinyan later, she really might have succeeded.

If it hadn’t been exposed back then, it would have been like hitting multiple birds with one stone, but she wouldn’t have lost anything either.

However, once it was exposed, the Xue Family wouldn’t possibly forgive soone who plotted against their daughter. Not just Song Bingjing, but the entire Song Family got implicated.

It’s like they say, those who do evil will et their own demise. The Xue Family couldn’t escape karma, after doing so many bad things, they’ve now fallen apart.

What she thought of, Xinyan naturally also thought of: "Have you seen Xue Hongjuan since then?"

Jiang Peiqin shook her head: "No, but I overheard soone in the courtyard that day saying she got married and went south with her husband."

She rembered sothing: "I also heard that her parents used their last savings to pave the way for her."

Although Xinyan didn’t like the Xue Family, Xue Hongjuan’s parents really spoiled their daughter, which is a testant to parents’ love everywhere.

Jiang Peiqin clapped her hands and stood up: "Alright, let’s stop talking about them. Co on, take to see your dowry and check if there’s anything you still need."

The two walked one behind the other towards the room where the dowry was kept.

When they saw the dowry in the room: "Yanyan, your parents are really generous, this would make others envy to death."

Xinyan nudged Jiang Peiqin with her elbow: "You talk as if your grandpa doesn’t spoil you."

Jiang Peiqin thought of the things her grandpa prepared for her and couldn’t help but smile: "True, my grandpa didn’t prepare as much, but he did put his heart into it."

When Gu Wanqing walked in, she saw the two young girls talking quietly to each other: "Yanyan, Peiqin, co and try these freshly baked pastries."

The two simultaneously looked at Gu Wanqing approaching them.

Xinyan spoke first: "The pastries my mom makes are really delicious, today you’re in for a treat."

Jiang Peiqin stood up: "Thank you, auntie."

Gu Wanqing smiled and placed the pastries on the table: "You and Yanyan are good sisters, don’t be formal with , treat this as your own ho."

Jiang Peiqin looked at the various shaped pastries on the table, hesitating for a mont, she pointed at the pastries, then looked at Gu Wanqing, and then at Xinyan: "These pastries were made by auntie?"

Gu Wanqing and Xinyan exchanged a glance and both laughed.

Xinyan hooked her arm around Jiang Peiqin: "What, you don’t believe my mom made them?"

Jiang Peiqin quickly shook her head: "No, no, I just didn’t expect auntie to make such cute pastries."

Looking at the two plates of pastries: "Auntie, they’re so adorable, how did you make them?"

Gu Wanqing smiled: "Actually, it’s not hard at all. Try them and see if they suit your taste."

Jiang Peiqin didn’t stand on ceremony with Gu Wanqing, after all, she often followed Xinyan to the suburban house before, and reached out to take a piece to try.

As the pastry entered her mouth, her eyes lit up instantly: "Auntie, what did you use to make this? It’s really delicious."

Jiang Peiqin wasn’t flattering; these pastries were indeed very tasty.

Seeing her enjoy it, Gu Wanqing smiled warmly: "What you’re holding is chestnut cake. If you like it, have more."

Just then, her aunt, Su Aihong, hurriedly walked in again: "Wanqing, soone’s at the front yard looking for you, they’re delivering candies and alcohol."

Gu Wanqing greeted Jiang Peiqin and went to the front yard to handle the matter.

In the Transport Team’s family courtyard

Vice Captain Lu looked dumbfounded at the fiancée soon to be married to him: "Guangying, do you know what you’re saying?"

Fu Guangying stood her ground: "Why not? I’m an official worker, earning thirty-eight yuan a month, while Captain He’s partner is still in school. I heard she won’t graduate for another two years, and by then Captain He might still need to support her.

Is it too much for to make such a request now?"

Vice Captain Lu held back his urge to shout: "Guangying, we already discussed the wedding arrangents that day, and now you’re changing it last minute. Where am I supposed to find a car now?"

Fu Guangying wasn’t concerned if Lu Qiufu found it difficult: "We’re getting married on the sa day and live so close. We can’t let them outdo us, or else we’ll be laughed at."

Vice Captain Lu sighed: "It’s our life to live. Moreover, last-minute car additions aside, don’t even ntion the cost, finding a car is tough too!"

Fu Guangying looked displeased: "I don’t care, I just can’t be outdone."

She said this and left, not caring about Vice Captain Lu’s thoughts.

Xinyan really didn’t expect to be targeted even before moving into the family quarters.

With a long train whistle, the train carrying the He Family rolled into the station.

He Jinxuan had been waiting on the platform for a while.

He Xubei, with his sharp eyes, spotted He Jinxuan on the platform: "Grandma, Grandpa, I see Third Uncle."

Mr. and Mother He looked in the direction He Xubei pointed and saw He Jinxuan standing upright on the platform.

He Xubei stretched his hand out the window: "Third Uncle, over here, over here."

He Jinxuan waved back to him and walked toward the stopping point of their carriage.

After so greetings, He Jinxuan led the group out.

He Jinxuan, thinking they must all be tired from the long ride: "Let’s find a place to eat sothing first, then we’ll head back to where we’re staying."

Mr. He spoke up: "Let’s head back to where we’re staying first, freshen up, and then prepare so food at ho. Eating out is too extravagant."

He thought to himself: so many people eating out would cost a lot.

They’re here to help, not to add trouble to Third.

Gao Yui, who had been hungry the whole way, objected: "Dad, we’re guests now that we’re in Beijing, it’s better to follow Third’s arrangents."

Mr. He glared at her: "You and your chatter."

He Jian Country was indeed hungry too, but he rembered the purpose of their visit and was afraid Gao Yui might cause trouble, so he quickly gave her a warning look not to make a fuss.

Mother He also voiced out: "Listen to your dad, we’ll go back to your place to cook."

He Jiefang and He Yuejin chid in agreent.

He Jinxuan, unable to persuade them, conceded, considering it was still a while until noon.

Fortunately, they had borrowed a minibus from a comrade, saving the hassle of going back and forth, making it quick to reach the guest house.

Upon seeing the booked guest house, Mother He said: "Third, the weather isn’t cold; we can squeeze in your place, don’t waste money on this."

Before He Jinxuan could reply, He Yuejin tactfully intervened: "Mom, we have a lot of people this ti, and unlike last ti, let my Third Brother make the arrangents."

Having said that, he looked at his third brother, seeking appreciation.
