Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 269

Besides, although they received so much compensation, they didn’t bring back a single cent. They shouldn’t let their son think that the old couple is unwilling to share the money, which might cause unnecessary conflicts.

So, what happened to Qiu Qingmei in the Capital was kept secret by the family after they returned. They didn’t mention a word and only said that Qingmei fell seriously ill due to acclimatization over there.

Huang Yufeng noticed her husband staying silent: "Old man, we shouldn’t have been greedy. If we hadn’t sent that child away, things might not have turned out like this."

Qiu Jouxuan nodded: "How about going back to Yilan County to search for the child’s whereabouts? If we can find them, it can be a way to make amends, and maybe the Han Family will think favorably of us."

Huang Yufeng sighed: "Yilan County is so vast, where could we even start looking?"

Qiu Jouxuan gritted his teeth in pain and turned over: "If we do nothing, the Han Family might not spare us."

Huang Yufeng grew concerned after hearing her husband’s words: "The Han Family wouldn’t retaliate against us secretly, would they?"

Qiu Jouxuan frowned tightly: "They shouldn’t, right? We took their money without fulfilling the task, but we didn’t hurt the child either."

They didn’t know that they were being too naive. Not only had Qiu Chunli made arrangements before going to prison, but Han Jingchen would also never let them go. The only reason he hadn’t acted was that the daughter hadn’t been found, and he feared they might still hold some crucial information.

At this moment, the eldest son of the Qiu Family, Qiu Hongwei, pushed the door open and came in: "Dad, Mom, I brought back noodle soup and steamed buns. Have some first."

Huang Yufeng suddenly remembered her daughter: "Big Brother, what time is it? Shouldn’t your sister have finished her exam by now?"

Qiu Hongwei wasn’t pleased hearing this. They’d already heard about the morning’s events. If it weren’t for his sister’s ignorance, their father wouldn’t have been injured. However, since his mom asked, he had to respond: "Mom, the exam ended long ago. The factory car should have already picked everyone up by now."

Huang Yufeng stood up and looked at the weather outside: "I should have had you wait at the exam site to tell her."

At this moment, the eldest daughter-in-law, Zhang Yin Hua, came in: "Mom, the young lady is already grown up. Besides, with the car picking her up, there’s nothing to worry about. The second daughter-in-law will also inform her when she gets home. Right now, the most important thing is to take care of Dad."

As soon as the elder daughter-in-law finished speaking, the second son, Qiu Hongli, added: "Mom, Big Sister-in-law is right. We also asked the doctor, and Dad can also receive treatment at our factory hospital. What do you think?"

Huang Yufeng looked at her husband: "Old man, staying here is inconvenient, so why not go back to the factory hospital tomorrow with the factory car?"

Qiu Jouxuan nodded, agreeing: "Alright, arrange it. Make a call to the family compound and tell them I’m fine, so your sister won’t worry."

Zhang Yin Hua said, "Dad, there’s no need for the call. The rain hasn’t stopped, and even if the gatekeeper receives the call, it might not be conveyed immediately. There’s another shuttle bus later; staying here is inconvenient. Why don’t Mom and I go back first, what do you think?"

Huang Yufeng thought this made sense. Her daughter entered the exam room in such a state this morning; if she got home and heard something happened to her dad, she’d be extremely worried. Going back would help ease her mind, without affecting her college entrance exam.

The second son, Qiu Hongli, actually wanted to go back too: "Dad, why don’t one of us brothers stay? It’s really crowded here, and with the rain, we can’t trust just letting Mom and Big Sister-in-law go back alone."

Huang Yufeng remembered that her second daughter-in-law was pregnant, so she said: "Then let the eldest stay here. Since your wife is pregnant, the weather’s not great, and you can help take care of her."

Zhang Yin Hua didn’t mind her mother-in-law’s arrangement. After all, the second daughter-in-law’s condition was delicate, and if anything went wrong, they couldn’t take responsibility. Having the second brother take care of her was the best option.

So, it was settled. The eldest stayed behind while the rest braved the rain to the station to catch the last bus back to the Mechanical Factory.
