Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 489

The woman lived in the same alley as Granny Zhang, just three houses apart, and her husband’s last name was Gou.

There were three sons in the family. The eldest and the second son were already married. The family was under a lot of housing pressure and had been eyeing the Zhang Family’s house, not just for a day or two.

They had been hoping to take it step by step, but now the youngest son was also in a relationship, and because there was no house, the wedding date couldn’t be set.

When she heard Granny Zhang was going to the Capital with Xinyan, she got anxious.

Now she only thought about getting the youngest son to move into the Zhang family courtyard first. If they wanted him to move out later, it wouldn’t be so easy.

Second, she wanted to use public opinion to pressure Xinyan. She bet Xinyan was proud and would, for the sake of face, promise in front of everyone that she wouldn’t covet the Zhang family’s house. As long as she said that, the house would be secured by the Gou Family.

Granny Zhang was a lonely widow. By then, no one would be around, and with their family occupying the house, nobody else could compete with them.

Unfortunately, Xinyan and Granny Zhang weren’t going to fall for her tricks.

Both of them ignored the woman. After greeting others, they prepared to head home.

The woman was still unwilling to give up and said, "Hey, don’t leave, we haven’t made things clear yet!"

Granny Zhang was not to be messed with: "What does my family’s business have to do with you? Do I need to explain it to you?"

"You really have too much idle concern, thinking you’re something. Ask anyone present, who doesn’t know your intentions, you really don’t deserve any face."

After speaking, she dragged Xinyan along and said to Han Jingchen, who followed behind, "Jingchen, sorry to let you see this joke. Come, let’s go home."

Han Jingchen nodded slightly at Granny Zhang but glared coldly at the woman from the Gou Family, scaring her into stepping back several steps, thinking: This man’s gaze is really terrifying.

Just like Xinyan’s thoughts, if this woman dared to stand up again and cause trouble, ruining his young lady’s reputation, he wouldn’t mind stepping in to teach her a lesson.

After warning the woman, Han Jingchen then turned and caught up with the grandmother and granddaughter talking up ahead.

Xinyan gave Granny Zhang a thumbs up: "Granny Zhang, you’re amazing, look at how you left that woman speechless."

Granny Zhang laughed and looked at Xinyan: "Everyone knows her intentions, not just me. She still wants to play tricks, without even seeing if she has the capability?"

Xinyan took Granny Zhang’s arm, gently comforting her: "Don’t get angry over people and things that aren’t worth it. I’m back, you should be happy."

Granny Zhang smiled at Xinyan: "Yanyan is right, it’s not worth arguing with people like that."

After returning to the courtyard, Granny Zhang smiled and said: "You love eating yellow millet the most. Today I made braised yellow millet with pumpkin for you, with added red dates. You will definitely like it."

Xinyan couldn’t help but drool when she heard this: "Granny Zhang, you still know me best."

Granny Zhang knew she loved this dish: "I also made stir-fried potato shreds with sauerkraut for you and specially added some extra chili peppers."

Xinyan was even more delighted: "I must eat more then, I’ve been craving this so much."

As they served the food, Granny Zhang remembered what she originally went out to do but was delayed by that woman from the Gou family.

Xinyan saw Granny Zhang sigh: "What’s wrong?"

Granny Zhang then said: "The grapes from the village up front are ripe. I was going to buy some, but I ran into that gossiping woman from the Gou family as soon as I went out."

Xinyan set the bowls: "Let’s go together after the meal, just like taking a walk to help digest."
