Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 313

Granny Zhang didn’t know that He Jinxuan had already booked a room at the guesthouse: "It’s so late, where are you going? It’s not like there’s nowhere to stay at home."

He Jinxuan quickly explained: "After all, Xinyan and I aren’t married yet. There are a lot of people around here who know her. I don’t want to cause her any gossip. I’ve already booked a room at the guesthouse."

Upon hearing this, Granny Zhang was even more pleased with He Jinxuan. A man who thinks about Xinyan like this can’t be bad.

So she didn’t stop him anymore: "Alright then, come over for breakfast tomorrow. I’ll make wontons for you two."

He Jinxuan nodded in agreement before leaving the Zhang Family.

As soon as he left, Granny Zhang closed the door and said to Yu Xinyan, "Hurry and freshen up, and tell me what’s really going on?"

She had wanted to ask this girl about her time over there for a while, but with He Jinxuan around, it wasn’t appropriate to ask.

With water heated on the stove, Yu Xinyan moved quickly, skillfully carrying the water to the bathroom and taking a quick shower.

After re-rinsing the clothes she had washed earlier, she hung them on the clothesline in the yard, and then followed Granny Zhang back inside.

The two of them lay on the kang, and Yu Xinyan recounted in detail everything that had happened at the Mechanical Factory.

The letters before only briefly mentioned it. Now, hearing Yu Xinyan’s recount, Granny Zhang got more and more angry: "That Lyu Juncheng really is something else. It’s good you were smart and cut ties with him quickly, otherwise, you’d be in for a tough time."

Seeing Granny Zhang getting angry, Yu Xinyan quickly said, "Alright, don’t be angry anymore. Look at me now, I’m doing great. And I’ve also cleared things up with the Yu Family. In the future, I’ll only have you."

Granny Zhang felt distressed, gently hitting Yu Xinyan: "You troublesome girl, making my heart ache on purpose."

Yu Xinyan rested her head on Granny Zhang’s shoulder: "Granny Zhang, without you, I don’t know how I’d be living right now. I told you before, I will look after you when you grow old, and I meant it.

This time around, I wanted to tell you that before school starts, I’ll come to pick you up. No matter where I study, you’ll come with me."

Granny Zhang sighed lightly: "Silly girl, saying silly things. You’re going to study, how can you take an old woman like me along? Besides, I don’t want to leave here."

Yu Xinyan knew Granny Zhang wouldn’t agree easily, so she said, "I participated in a math competition before and won the provincial championship, earning quite a bit of prize money. The large river outside the Mechanical Factory often provided me with fish to catch, and I’ve earned quite a bit more from that."

Worried these weren’t enough leverage, Yu Xinyan told a little lie: "I’ll tell you a secret too; I found two ginsengs in the mountains over there, exchanged them for a good amount of money. So, I’ve made plans. Once I receive the acceptance letter, I’ll go ahead, purchase a small courtyard near the school, set it up, and then come back to take you along.

By then, I won’t be living in a dormitory. I’ll come home every day to eat and sleep. During weekends, I might take up a tutoring job for high school students, earning enough for the both of us."

Granny Zhang was indeed moved by these words, but there were some things Xinyan might be oversimplifying: "I’m still in good health right now and don’t want to burden you.

Besides, if your partner’s family finds out they’ll be burdened with me in the future, wouldn’t they have opinions about it? We can’t do it your way."

Yu Xinyan got a bit anxious: "It’s not up for discussion, you have to listen to me. I don’t want to live in the dorms, and having you with me is not a burden. You could help tidy the house, help cook for me.

Besides, the fact that I brought He Jinxuan over means I’ve already informed him about you. If he disagreed, I wouldn’t agree to date him. Moreover, I can ensure you live well. Even if we ended up together, we wouldn’t need to look at the in-laws’ faces.

Granny Zhang, you’re my only family now. Afterward, you’ll be my real granny. Would you bear to see me living alone out there?"

Granny Zhang sighed lightly: "This girl, you really are..."

In the end, Granny Zhang did not give a definite answer, and as they talked, they fell asleep...
