Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 140: Opportunities Are Truly Rare

Seeing her mother-in-law frown, she quickly explained, "Mom, first, we haven’t separated the family yet. He has the ability to help out at ho, and it’s only right for him to do so. Second, opportunities like this are rare.

If we can buy that house, we’ll have more space to live in. What do you think?"

Mother He snorted coldly, "I see no reason. If you in the second family have the skills, then you buy it. Why involve Jinxuan?"

Second Sister-in-law He replied reluctantly, "Isn’t it true we haven’t split the family yet? He’s working at the chanical Factory now, and they allocated him a yard there. The money is just sitting there, why not let the family use it temporarily? Isn’t that okay?"

Mother He threw down the rag in her hand, "You know very well what you’re plotting. Don’t talk about whether he even got that bonus you ntioned—assuming he did, why should he help the family? You only contribute living expenses monthly; you save the rest yourselves. Have I ever said anything?

He’s already grown, and he hasn’t started a family yet. Instead of saying you’d help him, you’re scheming for his money. Such nerve."

Second Sister-in-law He saw her mother-in-law was really upset, "Mom, look at what you’re saying. Can’t the family just borrow that money from him?

Little brother is dating now; won’t we need to free up a room if he gets married?

The kids at ho are growing up day by day, and we only have so much space. When they get older, they can’t always squeeze in with the adults, right?"

After hearing her second daughter-in-law’s words, Mother He sighed inwardly, "Even if what you say makes sense, this is a family matter, and it’s not possible to expect him to pay that money."

Second Sister-in-law He felt like she couldn’t make things clear with her mother-in-law, "Mom, how about this: didn’t Dad just ask you to go to the chanical Factory to see the third brother? I’ll go with you then, and if you feel awkward, I’ll talk to him about it. What do you think?

The main thing is, many people want the house next door. If we wait too long, it’ll be snatched up, and we’ll only regret it later."

Mother He was sowhat wavering; she neither agreed nor refused.

Second Sister-in-law He was afraid her mother-in-law might say "no" again, so she quickly found an excuse to leave. Yet before she reached the door, she rembered to call out, "Mom, I’ll apply for leave at work this afternoon, and tomorrow I’ll go with you."

At this mont, He Jinxuan, the one they were talking about, had just sent his two nephews to bed. Initially, he wanted to stay in the west room where Yu Xinyan used to live, but he was afraid of people gossiping, so he had the two nephews move there.

He opened the folder and looked at the two certificates for a long ti before taking out the two envelopes. Because the case was significant, the bonus was indeed substantial: 800 yuan from the province, 600 yuan from the city, plus the 200 yuan reward previously given by the factory, totaling 1,600 yuan.

Thinking about how this money had been with Yu Xinyan for so long, a smile appeared on his lips.

As for what was on his mind, only he knew.

He took out a tal box from the hidden compartnt of the cabinet and put the two money-filled envelopes inside. When he returned to the city soday, he would deposit the money then.

Thinking about the favor he had asked soone to do, he pulled two ten-yuan bills from the box and put them in his pocket before returning the tal box to the hidden compartnt—only he knew about this place, and nobody else could find it even if he didn’t say.

After tidying up, he lay on the bed, his thoughts drifting to Yu Xinyan. He wondered how the girl was doing at school today and if she was being bullied.
