Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 462

Fan Xiaoxing and Qiao Shanmei were extremely pleased to move to dorm 306.

After all, the other classmates in 307 aren’t in the same class as them, so their feelings are different.

Fan Xiaoxing, being from Fujian, after setting up her bed, took out some dried fish she brought from home: "These are dried fish I brought from home, everyone try some."

Her family specifically asked her to bring them to share with her classmates. Luckily, she hadn’t had a chance to take them out while in 307, otherwise it would be awkward to switch dorms with not much of it.

Qiao Shanmei seeing her take out something, also took out some osmanthus candy she brought from home: "I brought osmanthus candy, everyone try some too."

With the annoying Li Yutong gone, the dorm atmosphere became harmonious.

Seeing them bring out snacks, Xinyan also took from her cabinet some beef jerky she prepared in advance, Jiang Peiqin brought apples, and Cui Haili took out pastries from her hometown.

Even Zhang Zhaodi brought out a bottle of pickles: "I only brought this, everyone try it and see if you like the taste."

For a moment, dorm 306 was filled with laughter and joy.

Meanwhile, dorm 307 was split into two factions, with six from the German class sitting together discussing class matters, while Li Yutong sat on her bed with a dark face, sulking.

Xia Ruhui couldn’t blend into the conversation among those from the German class nor did she want to go near Li Yutong to be the punching bag, so she took an enamel basin to the water room to find peace, feeling incredibly depressed.

Returning to Sanyuan City, He Jinxuan initially intended to go directly to the Mechanical Factory after picking up the two children. Unexpectedly, he ran into Big Brother He Jiefang on the way and heard about the family happenings in recent days.

He Jiefang sighed lightly: "Because of losing the baby, your sister-in-law now hates the people from the second house to death. She blames herself terribly, thinking if she weren’t so careless, the baby wouldn’t have been harmed, washing her face with tears daily. Your sister-in-law’s family is also very upset, saying this matter can’t be settled just like that."

He Jinxuan looked at He Jiefang’s worried face: "Big Brother, what did Second Brother say about this?"

At this mention, He Jiefang got angry: "If he could say something coherent, I wouldn’t be this worried. After the incident, he didn’t even visit the hospital, just told me he was sorry the next day when I went home to get something.

But is this a matter that can be solved with just an apology?"

He Jinxuan thought of Second Sister-in-law Gao Yumei: "And what about my Second Sister-in-law? Having caused such a trouble, what did she say?"

Upon hearing this, He Jiefang frowned deeply: "Since that day, your Second Sister-in-law returned to her parents’ house, but her mother took her and a few sisters to the hospital the next day. However, your sister-in-law was very angry at that time and directly chased them away.

After your sister-in-law was discharged, your Second Sister-in-law hasn’t shown up, though I’ve seen her return home these days, she didn’t go to inquire about your sister-in-law’s situation, and avoided me for fear of being troubled."

He Jinxuan didn’t expect Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law’s attitudes to be like this, but he couldn’t do much about it. Yet now that he knew, he couldn’t pretend nothing happened: "Big Brother, you go ahead and stay busy then, I’ll go home."

He Jiefang had things to do, nodding: "Alright."

He Jinxuan bought malted milk extract and brown sugar before returning to the He Family.

Arriving home, Mother He was in the kitchen making red date porridge for the eldest daughter-in-law: "Mom, I’m back."

Mother He heard the voice: "Jinxuan, you’re back."

As soon as she spoke, her eyes reddened. The reason being the recent conflict between the first and second houses, seeing the third son come home, she felt some of her inner anguish could be eased.

He Jinxuan handed over the things he brought: "Mom, my Sister-in-law is in the room, I best not go in, I bought these supplements for her, you help me deliver them."

Mother He took the items: "You watch the porridge, I’ll bring these to her."

She also hoped the eldest daughter-in-law, considering these supplements from the third son, would calm down, as the atmosphere at home had been overwhelmingly tense.

Entering the room, she gently said to the eldest daughter-in-law lying on the kang: "Eldest, Jinxuan is back, he bought you some supplements. He can’t come in, so asked me to bring them."

Sister He knew the lost child couldn’t be blamed on her mother-in-law and had nothing to do with anyone outside the second house, yet her mood remained poor, replying indifferently: "Mom, thank the third for me."

Saying so, she didn’t get up.

Mother He understood it couldn’t be rushed, placing the items down: "The porridge’s almost ready, I’ll bring it in a while, drink it and get some rest."

She was out for a short while, soon bringing in the red date porridge: "Eldest, the porridge is done, get up and drink it first."

Sister He, despite her sorrow, knew she still had three children to care for, so she took the bowl: "Thanks, Mom."

With that, she spoke no more.

Mother He sighed inwardly: "You drink it first, I’ll come and fetch the bowl later."

Saying this, she turned and left the room, then called He Jinxuan to her own: "Jinxuan, is everything well at Xinyan’s school?"

He Jinxuan nodded: "Yes, her dad prepared everything ahead, I couldn’t be of any help."

He Jinxuan deliberately made this statement to let the family know Xinyan wasn’t relying on him and that her biological father cherishes his daughter.

He deliberately mentioned how Han Jingchen bought a house near the school for Xinyan, to stop the family from making comments about Xinyan’s previous marital status.

Mother He, who previously thought Xinyan’s second marriage seemed unworthy of her son, became concerned upon hearing her son’s words: "Jinxuan, now that she’s found her real dad, her status is different. What about you two?"

He Jinxuan understood Mother He’s worry: "No need to worry, her dad doesn’t object, and I’ll be relocating there for work soon."

Mother He was surprised at the news of He Jinxuan’s job relocation: "What, you’re moving there for work?"

He Jinxuan reassured her: "Mom, you know most of my contacts are there."

Mother He knew her third son grew up there, with classmates and friends around, even served in the military there. Yet the thought of him moving back there made her feel empty; they never had much mother-son bond to begin with, going back to that would be heart-wrenching.

But given Jinxuan wasn’t raised by her and considering his fiancée is studying there, trying to keep him was impossible.

She sighed lightly: "Yuejin is getting married in a few days, roughly when will you leave?"

He Jinxuan was already aware of this: "I’ll definitely attend Yuejin’s wedding before leaving."

Mother He felt somewhat relieved at this.
