Chapter 690: Chapter 690: Still Going Strong

Aunt Jia looked at Qin Juan with a smile, waiting for her to respond.

Jia Liang’s mom isn’t easy to deal with, but surely Jia Liang’s wife won’t show a sour face to her elders, right?

At first glance, this woman seems to have a good temper, looking gentle and standing there quietly.

A sense of frustration filled her heart once more.

That little rascal Jia Liang actually married such a beautiful wife, even prettier than our two daughters-in-law, truly money can make the world go round.

However, after waiting for quite a while, Qin Juan still didn’t respond, and the smile on her face started to falter.

Only then did Old Mrs. Jia speak, “My old woman and our Liangzi are indeed lucky, we met someone generous, always there to lend our Liangzi a hand. Our Liangzi, he may not have many virtues, but he’s grateful and gives back tenfold for every bit of kindness shown to him. But I must admit, our Liangzi has many faults, the biggest being his grudges; whoever bullies us will be enemies for life, doesn’t matter if it’s his third uncle or second uncle, even if the heavens themselves intervene…”

Old Mrs. Jia’s words were already quite straightforward, and Uncle Jia interrupted her with a sullen face.

“Second daughter-in-law, those words are a bit much, since Liangzi is a Jia, we’re family after all, no hard feelings among family? We never intended to kick you out back then, with the second brother gone, we just wanted to help you…”

“Oh, don’t go there,” Old Mrs. Jia directly interrupted before Uncle Jia could finish, “Help us? Help us how, by taking our house or our food? There’s no need to sugarcoat things, I’m not senile. I know why you’re here today, just like how you tried to push us out for a house back then. Now that Liangzi is doing well, you want to stick around, but where in the world is there such a convenient thing?”

“Second sister-in-law, no need to make it sound so harsh, big brother already said, back then it was all a misunderstanding. We came today to see if there’s anything at home we can help with, we’re family, we care about you.”

“Care?” Old Mrs. Jia glanced at Uncle Jia, raising her voice, “Your so-called care is really special. When we were struggling, you schemed against us, not to mention in past years, young people badmouthed Liangzi as a hooligan. Now you see Liangzi succeeding, and you pretend to care. You sniff the meat and come running, the whole village hears your plans. If you aren’t ashamed, I’m embarrassed on your behalf.”

Old Mrs. Jia clapped her hands and directly made a gesture for them to leave, “Our Liangzi doesn’t have such opportunistic big uncles and third uncles. Leave at once, or don’t blame me for being rude.”

Whoever spoke got choked up; even Uncle Jia knew there was no point in continuing the conversation.

More importantly, everyone saw Jia Liang wasn’t home, and his newlywed wife seemed like a pushover, not daring to say a word in front of such a strong mother-in-law like Old Mrs. Jia.

However, this was fine, since the old lady won’t act sensibly forever; sooner or later, the young will take charge.

Today, at least they met, they can find Jia Liang’s wife alone another day.

Maybe, under this old woman’s long-term suppression, Jia Liang’s wife might actually communicate better with relatives unfriendly with the old lady.

Overall, this trip wasn’t in vain.

Uncle Jia and Uncle Jia left dejectedly, while Old Mrs. Jia bitterly complained to Qin Juan a bit more.

Her main point being, her current state was all because Uncle Jia and Uncle Jia were dishonorable, worried that she’d leave a bad impression on her daughter-in-law.

Qin Juan consoled her with a smile, “Mom, I know who you are, you don’t have to explain.”

If it weren’t for her mother-in-law’s strength, she might have suffered today in front of the Zhang family.

Seeing she truly didn’t mind, Old Mrs. Jia told Qin Juan to rest well while she went to cook lunch.

Qin Juan hurriedly stopped her, taking some ointment from the drawer to help her put it on.

Old Mrs. Jia waved it off, “It doesn’t hurt anymore, this old woman is still strong.”

……………

The Zhang family caused trouble for Qin Juan on the street, greatly upsetting Zhang Guilan.

The Qin Family knew very well how despicable the Zhang grandmother and Zhang Wenbin were.

Thinking back on today’s incident, Zhang Guilai was worried since Qin Juan is pregnant.

Returning home in the evening, Zhang Guilan didn’t dare mention this to Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin, and only told her own husband.

Hearing this, Qin Han couldn’t sit still, pacing around the room, smoking a cigarette yet still feeling uneasy, deciding to go find Qin Yang.

Qin Yang’s room light was still on, Qi Qi just fell asleep, and Lin Chuxia and Qin Yang were whispering.

Hearing Qin Han, Qin Yang quickly put on his shoes and went out.

In no time, Qin Yang returned, grabbing his coat and telling Lin Chuxia on the bed, “I’m taking a walk with big brother, you sleep first.”

Lin Chuxia gave him a puzzled look.

Married for several years, although Qin Yang and Qin Han are biological brothers with a good relationship, this late-night walking together only happened once a few years back.

Yet Lin Chuxia didn’t ask much, knowing neither were reckless.

She simply said, “Okay, come back early and stay safe.”

Qin Yang nodded, putting on his clothes and heading out.

Qin Han was waiting outside, asking worriedly seeing him, “What did you tell your sister-in-law? You’re out so fast.”

Qin Yang lazily shot him a glance, “What did you tell sister-in-law?”

“What else could I say, who wouldn’t be angry hearing this? I’m stifled and need air, can’t I walk to vent my anger? You, did you tell sister-in-law?”

“No,” he didn’t want his wife to get upset too, “Let’s go.”

Qin Yang walked out first with a stern face.

Currently, the two brothers along with Zhuang Jingshu and Zhuang Yang live in a two-story building.

Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin stayed in the front yard.

The front yard was also a newly built house from a few years ago; the elders preferred not to move to a building, finding living in a bungalow more convenient.

Moreover, the front yard was closer to the gate, making it easier for Mrs. Qin to mind the children and the house.

Before they even reached the front yard, a figure approached.

Zhuang Yang had just returned home after dining with a few contractors, and upon seeing the two men neatly dressed, casually inquired, “Going out this late?”

Qin Han didn’t think much before using his excuse for his wife, “Just going for a walk.”
