Rebirth Era: After the Beautiful Sister-in-law Refuses to Open Business

"What happened to you coming back so late?"

Whether Qin Yanzheng believed what Qin Yaxin said, only Qin Yanzheng himself knew.

"After leaving the school, my classmates stopped me and talked to me for a while, and that… delayed us for some time."

Qin Yaxin's eyes were a little evasive, and it was not difficult to see that there was some water in what she said.

"Park the car, go wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

Seeing that Qin Yanzheng was about to say something, Song Lan spoke at the right time.

There is no doubt that she was talking to Qin Yaxin.

When Qin Yaxin finished her car and went back to her room to put her schoolbag, Qin Yanzheng frowned and asked Song Lan, "Wife, do you believe what my second sister said?"

"I believe half of it."

Song Lan said softly, "But we won't get anything out of you if we ask now. But don't worry, I will make things clear."

"After dinner, I'll talk to my second sister. You have to work and worry about the children, as well as take care of the healthy growth of Xiaowu and Xiaoliu.

This is already tiring enough for you. I can't bear to watch you working so hard for our family while doing nothing myself!"

Qin Yanzheng's dark eyes were full of sincerity. He felt sorry for Song Lan, and for his lover. The more he felt sorry for Song Lan, the more he felt that Qin Yaxin was ignorant. As a student, she did not study hard, and even learned to lie to her family.

As a result, while they are busy with work and household chores, they also have to squeeze out time to keep an eye on whether she is learning bad things outside.

"You can?"

Song Lan raised her eyebrows.

Qin Yanzheng responded immediately: "As a man, you can't say no. Besides, you are the one who has the final say on whether I can do it or not, right?"

Hearing this, Song Lan was stunned for a while, then she finally understood what Qin Yanzheng meant. She glared at the man fiercely, then said with a smile: "If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for locking you out at night!"

She said so, but her beautiful face was full of blush. Looking at her like this, Qin Yanzheng laughed softly in his throat: "I'm just telling the truth. My wife, don't be too domineering."

"You'll have to keep your truth to yourself!"

Rolling his eyes at the man, Song Lan turned and went into the kitchen.

Qin Yanzheng looked at her back, and the laughter in his throat became noticeably louder.

"Wife, I know you are shy, but it's nothing. After all, we are a couple, and it's normal for us to talk casually to each other."

Walking to the kitchen door, Qin Yanzheng leaned against the door frame, looked at Song Lan's busy back and said with a smile.

What he got was another roll of the eyes from Song Lan.

But this did not affect Qin Yanzheng's mood at all. Instead, he felt very happy and said, "Wife, you look very pretty whether you glare at me or roll your eyes at me."

In his eyes, his wife glaring at him and rolling her eyes at him is no different from winking at him!

"Stop talking nonsense here and go set the table."

He obviously looks very serious and gives off an aura of "keep away from strangers", but when he opens his mouth in front of her, he speaks in a dishonest manner. I really don't know what to say about this man!

"Well, my lady!"

Qin Yanzheng immediately stood up straight and responded promptly.

"Aren't you worried that your family members might see you like this and that it would damage your image?"

Song Lan shook her head and filled the bowl with porridge.

"What's there to worry about?"

Qin Yanzheng said disapprovingly: "If a person cares about other people's opinions about everything, how tiring it would be to live! Besides, I am just like you, my wife!"

As soon as the words fell, before Song Lan could respond, Qin Yanzheng's figure disappeared from the kitchen door.

Song Lan listened to the footsteps outside the kitchen door fading away, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curved up slightly.

Yes, in life, if we care about what others think of everything, isn’t this just setting a framework called “rules” for ourselves?

If you can't get out of the box, it's like being trapped inside it. Not only will your life be tiring, but you might even drive yourself crazy someday!

Of course, in some matters, such as when it comes to one's own dignity, one cannot allow others to trample on it at will. Otherwise, one will be laughed at, despised, and called a coward.

The dinner was as warm as usual. Qin Yanzheng took care of the washing up. However, Qin Yaxin knew that she came home late from school today and did not help with dinner, so she was quite active in washing up after dinner.

"Brother, I'll wash it. When I'm done, you just need to clean up the water stains and put the dishes in place."

After entering the kitchen, Qin Yaxin reached into the pot before Qin Yanzheng could do anything, and started washing the dishes quickly with a dishcloth in one hand and a bowl in the other.

Qin Yanzheng stood by and watched Qin Yaxin busy herself quietly.

After a while, a cold and deep voice came out from between his lips and teeth: "You didn't tell the truth when you came back from school this afternoon."

Qin Yaxin paused while washing dishes and opened her mouth, but no words came out.

"I want to hear the real reason now."

Qin Yanzheng had a serious expression and looked straight into Qin Yaxin's eyes.

"...Brother, I didn't lie!"

Qin Yaxin bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before finally speaking. However, she did not do what Qin Yanzheng said. Qin Yanzheng did not get angry when he heard her words. There was no emotion in his tone:

"Qin Yaxin, you know the situation of our family. I don't want your sister-in-law to suffer. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Brother, does this have anything to do with me coming home a little late today?"

Qin Yaxin was confused.

"Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand?"

Qin Yanzheng said: "Mom is gone, Dad is busy with work, and I also have endless work to do. Have you ever thought about what kind of life the whole family would be living if your sister-in-law was not at home?

It hasn’t been so long since those things happened, have you forgotten them all?

Mom passed away, Dad was in the forest farm, and I was injured and unconscious. It was your sister-in-law who supported our family. It was she who protected you, your second brother, and the fifth and sixth children, so that you didn't have to endure too many strange looks.

It was also your sister-in-law who treated me, helped me wake up, and restored my health.

During that time, she had to work to support the family, take care of you guys, and never forget to go to the forest farm to visit dad... If it were you, would you be able to survive during that time?"

Qin Yaxin pursed her lips and said nothing.

"Things at home are back on track thanks to your sister-in-law's efforts. Now, your second brother is in the army, and your eldest sister works in a machinery factory.

You were in the first year of high school, and I thought you three wouldn't be a problem for your sister-in-law anymore, but what happened? You learned to lie!

But you probably don’t know that this afternoon, your sister-in-law didn’t see you come home for a long time, and she was so worried that she kept looking towards the gate of the yard, fearing that you might have an accident.

If you have a little conscience, you should know that at home in the machinery factory, even though your sister-in-law and I are taking care of the family together, we recently had two more little ones. Overall, your sister-in-law is still not having an easy time."

She has to go to work every day, take care of the children when she gets home, and worry about the little ones. After all, human energy is limited.

Especially since your sister-in-law is a doctor, once she encounters a patient who needs a major operation, she will be on the operating table for several hours. Do you think she is tired?"
