Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 580

Xinyan bid farewell to her master, mistress, senior brother, and senior sister. She mentioned that she might not be able to come over for a while, but would diligently study the medical books in her free time. Afterward, she left with Jinxuan.

He Jinxuan came on a bicycle today. When Xinyan saw the cushion on the back seat, her face broke into a smile.

Mrs. Du watched her get on the bicycle and said, "It’s getting dark. Ride slowly and be careful."

She waved to the few people who had come to the gate to see them off, saying, "Go back, we’re leaving now."

Senior Sister Shen Guqing watched the bicycle go off into the distance and said, "Our little junior sister is fortunate. When choosing a partner, it’s not necessarily about looks or family background; as long as they treat you well, that’s enough."

When she said this, the others standing next to her were all silent.

Shen Guqing signed up to go to Yun Province for medical support precisely because she had a disagreement with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law at home. To escape the turmoil, she took the opportunity to sign up.

Before she left, she gave her husband an ultimatum, telling him to think carefully about their relationship during this time. If, when she returned, he continued the way he had been—taking his mother and sister’s side against her—then their marriage would be over.

After returning, she didn’t go directly to her in-laws’ home but first visited her workplace to hand over her duties.

Mrs. Du sighed internally and, after turning back to the courtyard, said, "Qing’er, does Yifei know you’re back?"

Shen Guqing shrugged, "He should know by now."

Mrs. Du furrowed her brows slightly at this, "You haven’t contacted him since you returned?"

Senior Brother Ma Chengxi also looked at her with some concern, "Gu Qing, marriage is no trivial matter. You should think it through carefully."

Mrs. Du, being a woman, understood her plight, "No matter what decision you make, your mistress will support you. But your senior brother is right; marriage is not child’s play and requires careful thought."

Shen Guqing’s eyes reddened, "Mistress, I’ve thought it through. If this time, Meng Yifei can change for me, then I’ll continue with him. After all, we do have a foundation of feelings."

But if he still tries to constantly smooth over issues as he always has, I can’t continue with him, and I definitely can’t waste my best years dragging on with his family."

Mrs. Du patted her shoulder, "Mistress understands. As long as you have thought it through yourself."

Thinking of her seemingly splendid but actually unbearable marriage, Shen Guqing’s eyes welled up with tears.

She was quite good-looking and was a disciple of Mr. Du. Moreover, Mr. Du had been working in the health bureau, responsible for the healthcare of leaders, which gave her some prominence and attracted many people’s attention.

But she fell for Meng Yifei in a free-spirited love affair. With the master’s backing, marrying into the Meng Family wasn’t considered reaching too high for her, and most importantly, Meng Yifei really was good to her.

At the beginning of their marriage, she always thought she had married for love and had made the right choice.

But within three months of the wedding, she felt something was amiss. Although Meng Yifei continued to be good to her, whenever she had a disagreement with his sister, he never sided with her and always tried to mediate.

Initially, he said it wouldn’t be long before his sister got married and came home less often, so there would be fewer conflicts. He also said that since she worked at the hospital, she didn’t see his sister much anyway, so she should endure it for a while.

But enduring it only made things worse. His sister thought she was easy to bully and found pleasure in making her life difficult repeatedly, maybe even becoming addicted to it.

After that, she would pick on her for fun. Whenever she was at home, there was no peace to be had, and each time, either Meng Yifei would try to mediate, or her mother-in-law would say that as the sister-in-law, she should be more understanding, as the sister was still young.

She could bear it once or twice, but as time went on, it became unbearable. Thereafter, chaos at home became the norm.

When she was pregnant, more than three months along, his sister pushed her, resulting in a miscarriage. Her relationship with her in-laws turned icy.

That was the child they had awaited for two years after marriage, a child that both she and Meng Yifei, even the entire Meng Family, had been eagerly anticipating, but just like that, it was gone.

Following the miscarriage, her mother-in-law came to her, saying they were heartbroken about losing the child too, but there was no way to turn back time. Holding a grudge against Meng Yiran wouldn’t solve anything; it would be better to let it go, heal, and hope for children in the future.

Hearing her mother-in-law’s words and seeing Meng Yifei hang his head in silence, she was utterly disappointed.

She then secretly signed up to go to Yun Province for medical support, knowing that whether she and Meng Yifei could go on would depend on his choices going forward.

Shen Guqing took a deep breath, "Mistress, Senior Brother, I don’t want to go on like this anymore. If Meng Yifei doesn’t make any progress this time, I don’t want to keep dragging this out."

Seeing that his junior sister had truly made up her mind, Ma Chengxi said, "With Master, Mistress, and all of us senior and junior brothers and sisters here, just go ahead with your plans as you see fit. We are your support."

After all, the Shen Family still hadn’t split up, and besides her parents, probably none of the others wished for her to divorce.

At this moment, Mr. Du’s voice came through, "I’ve always said, if things aren’t going well, make a plan sooner rather than later. Yet you insisted on giving that boy chance after chance, getting hurt in the process."

Taking a deep breath, "It’s not too late to see things clearly now. As your mistress said, no matter what you decide, we’ll support you."
