Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 143: What Are You Doing

Xinyan asked curiously, "Who are the mbers of Group Three?"

Zhao Jianlan glanced at the classmates in the classroom, "Miao Xiaoqian, Fu Hongjun, Zhang Ergen and them, why do you ask?"

Xinyan nodded, "It’s nothing, I was just asking out of curiosity."

Just as Xinyan finished speaking, she looked up and saw Qiu Qingi carrying a basin of water into the classroom. Instinctively, she gathered her textbooks from the desk and put them inside, just as Qiu Qingi intentionally pretended to trip, sending the basin of water in their direction.

Xinyan imdiately pulled Zhao Jianlan to the side to avoid it, but while they managed to escape, Duan Ruilian, who was collecting the physics howork, walked right into it and got drenched, soaking the howork she was holding as well.

Duan Ruilian shouted angrily, "Who did this?"

The shout not only startled everyone in the classroom but also attracted the attention of students from other classes in the hallway. Qiu Qingi hadn’t expected Xinyan to dodge, and in her nervousness, hadn’t noticed Duan Ruilian coming to collect the howork at that mont.

Zhao Jianlan, who had been pulled aside by Xinyan, was also startled, and upon seeing Duan Ruilian’s miserable state, she couldn’t help but chuckle. But fearing that she might anger Duan Ruilian, she quickly lowered her head in disguise.

Once she composed herself, rembering Xinyan’s earlier quick response and the previous questions she had asked, Zhao Jianlan leaned over and whispered in Xinyan’s ear, "Did you already guess what she was going to do?"

Xinyan didn’t answer. Qiu Qingi’s family was well-off, and she was spoiled to the point of being a bit unruly. Zhao Jianlan had ntioned before that Qiu Qingi never did any chores at ho and often criticized her sisters-in-law. It wasn’t her duty day, so why would she voluntarily fetch water today?

Teacher Chu quickly squeezed in, "What’s going on here?"

Duan Ruilian pointed at Qiu Qingi, "Ask her."

Teacher Chu didn’t like Qiu Qingi, her grades were poor and she frequently caused trouble, "Qiu Qingi, what are you up to?"

Qiu Qingi hadn’t expected to miss her target and ended up provoking soone she couldn’t easily ss with.

Duan Ruilian, like her, ca from a family with more boys than girls and was highly valued at ho. Moreover, Duan Ruilian’s grandfather was the forr senior secretary of the chanical Factory, and though retired, he still commanded respect.

Qiu Qingi was flustered, "Teacher Chu, I didn’t do it on purpose. I was carrying the water back and tripped."

Zhao Jianlan didn’t want to let her off the hook. If not for Xinyan’s quick reflexes, she would have been drenched too, "Qiu Qingi, who are you trying to fool? At this ti, why are you fetching water?"

Qiu Qingi sneered at Zhao Jianlan, "What’s it to you?"

Zhao Jianlan insisted, "If I hadn’t moved quickly, I’d be covered in water too. Why shouldn’t I care?"

Qiu Qingi retorted, "But you didn’t get wet."

Zhao Jianlan was relentless, "So, you’re regretting that I didn’t, is that it?"

Everyone who heard those words looked at Qiu Qingi with strange expressions, and then at the spot where Duan Ruilian was standing, as if they understood sothing.

Qiu Qingi was anxious, "What nonsense are you spouting? I said I was tripped and that’s why the water spilled."

Even Duan Ruilian, who might have been clueless, understood she was caught in a needless disaster, "Why did you bring back water?"

Qiu Qingi thought Duan Ruilian was trying to help her, "I thought I could sweep the floor and sprinkle water right after class, then go ho early and not miss the evening self-study session. Didn’t Teacher Cao say the students who signed up for the competition should go to his office for extra lessons?"
