Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 617: Why Are They Quarreling Again?
Xinyan also put down her chopsticks and got up to help tidy up: "So, what’s going on here?"
Granny Zhang stacked the plates together: "Ah, every family has its own difficult Chapter."
When they reached the kitchen, Granny Zhang finally continued: "In-laws over there have basically cut ties, agreeing that the mother-in-law’s elder care will no longer be their responsibility.
This made the second daughter-in-law of the Chen family think that the second sister doesn’t have any backing, and she has so much money in her hands, so her thoughts wandered.
They only stayed for a day, and the second daughter-in-law started thinking about getting the second sister’s money."
The two were listening to the noise outside while washing the dishes in the kitchen.
Just as they exited the yard, they heard soone knocking at the door. Xinyan went over to open it and saw it was Old Mrs. Tong from next door: "Grandma Tong, co on in."
Granny Zhang saw her: "It’s snowing, and it’s dark. Why did you co out?"
Old Mrs. Tong rubbed her hands and walked under the eaves: "I just wanted to co over and chat with you."
The few of them chatted while entering the house.
Old Mrs. Tong said with a smile: "Your place is comfortable. Co spring, I’ll also have them renovate a little and make a fire wall."
Upon hearing this, Xinyan laughed: "Let’s wait and see. Maybe in a year or two, we’ll have centralized heating in this area."
Old Mrs. Tong sat down: "I heard about that a few days ago too. It would be great if it happened."
Granny Zhang looked at the ti: "Yanyan, it’s snowing today. Are you still going over?"
Xinyan lightly said ’yes’: "I’ll go. It’s not snowing too heavily anyway, it’s just turned the ground white."
Grandma Tong remarked: "Dress warmly if you’re going out. It seems to be snowing heavier now than before."
Xinyan glanced outside and indeed it was.
She turned to Old Mrs. Tong: "Grandma Tong, did you co over because of the Chen family’s situation?"
Old Mrs. Tong got animated: "You bet. My house is just a wall away from theirs, and I can hear everything clearly.
You say that second daughter-in-law is so unkind. Manjuan just returned with her children for a day, and they can’t tolerate her. Yet when her husband was alive, he often looked after the Yue family."
Granny Zhang sighed lightly: "What’s wrong now? They just argued in the morning, and now they’re at it again?"
Old Mrs. Tong patted the dust off her pants: "Old Mrs. Chen thought her two granddaughters got quite frightened in the past few days, so before dinner, she stead so egg custard for them.
After the sisters finished, Old Mrs. Chen thought that since they’d soon have dinner and there was still so egg custard stuck to the bowl walls, she decided not to wash them, planning to serve dinner directly in them.
Then, the second daughter-in-law ca back and discovered it, and here they go again."
Granny Zhang sighed internally: "Those three poor souls."
After a few more chats, Xinyan went back to her room to put on warr clothes before heading over to her ntor’s place.
At that mont, soone knocked urgently at the door.
Hearing the commotion, Xinyan ca out: "Who is it?"
Just as she asked, she heard Old Mrs. Chen’s voice from outside: "Xinyan, could you co take a look at my granddaughter?"
The few households in the alley knew that Xinyan was apprenticing in dicine, so it was normal for Old Mrs. Chen to co for help.
Xinyan opened the main door and saw Old Mrs. Chen anxiously comforting a little girl: "Don’t worry, Grandma won’t ignore you."
Upon seeing Xinyan at the door, Old Mrs. Chen said: "Xinyan, my granddaughter has injured her head. Could you take a look?"
Only then did Xinyan notice Old Mrs. Chen covering the back of the little girl’s head: "Co in."
She let them into the yard and directly led them into the kitchen, providing them with two small stools: "Sit down and warm up by the fire, I’ll prepare a basin of hot water, we’ll need it later."
Old Mrs. Chen quickly responded: "Okay, thank you so much."
At this point, the other two elderly won in the house ca out after hearing the noise.
Seeing the injury on the little girl’s head, they both exclaid: "How did she get hurt?"
Old Mrs. Chen let out a heavy sigh: "What a sin."
Hearing this, the two elderly won felt it was inappropriate to inquire further.
Luckily, she had prepared a dical kit beforehand: "Granny Chen, her hair around the wound needs to be trimd."
Upon hearing about the haircut, the little girl cried out: "Then I’ll be ugly, I don’t want it."
Old Mrs. Chen looked up at Xinyan.
Xinyan shook her head: "Not trimming could lead to an infection."
Old Mrs. Chen held her granddaughter in her arms, softly comforting her. By the ti Xinyan had everything ready, the little girl was comforted as well. She swiftly trimd the hair around the wound and then began cleaning it, applying dicine, and bandaging it.
While she was busy, He Jinxuan, having just finalized plans with his future father-in-law, couldn’t wait to see Xinyan. He ca straight over, not bothering with anything else.
