Reborn in the 1990s, I want my husband to live to be a hundred.

"Xiuzhen, dinner's ready." Before the words were even finished, Qin Yanlin had already pushed open the door with the food. Seeing Deng Xiuzhen stretching her limbs there, Qin Yanlin was taken aback. Young Deng Xiuzhen used to stretch so freely, but she hadn't done so since getting married. Looking at her now, he couldn't help but think of the past, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Thinking that she was in her thirties and still jumping around like a child, Deng Xiuzhen smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'd better go out to eat."

"Okay, good," Qin Yanlin said, bringing the food back to the table.

"Mom, sit here!" Wenjing asked Deng Xiuzhen to sit next to her.

"Xiuzhen, what are your plans, big brother?" Qin Yanlin asked after taking a bite of his food.

Big Brother? Deng Xiuzhen remembered why she was in bed today! Her big brother had asked her to borrow 10,000 yuan, saying he wanted to invest it. In her previous life, at this time, she thought her big brother was quick-witted, good at making money, and good at managing things. She always respected him greatly, and even thought that his asking her for money was a sign of respect. So she readily agreed without the slightest hesitation.

However, Qin Yanlin refused, saying that his family had saved tens of thousands of yuan by living frugally and working hard from dawn to dusk, but now that the supply and marketing cooperative was being restructured, his family would have to find another way to make a living.

So I plan to buy the land next door to build a house. I'll open a shop on the first floor and live on the second floor. Building a house costs money, buying goods costs money, my child's schooling costs money, my family's living expenses are also necessary, and there are also social obligations. Everything costs money.

Of course, Qin Yanlin said these were all secondary issues. The main concern was that he didn't even know what kind of investments his elder brother had made, and if they were to lose money, he would lose everything.

Deng Xiuzhen was initially persuaded by Qin Yanlin, but when she went back to her parents' home, her mother said that she was heartless, did not help her own brother, did not care about her mother, was unfilial, and was extremely rebellious.

After being lectured by her family, she felt she was terribly wrong and that not lending money to her older brother was a huge mistake, so she rushed home to ask Qin Yanlin to lend her brother the money.

Qin Yanlin said that if he lends money to Deng Chunlin, then Xinlin must also lend money. Otherwise, if he lends money to his father-in-law's family and not to his own elder brother, his parents will scold him. In that case, his family will have a hard time and will not be able to build a house. If the house cannot be built, how will they make a living?

Deng Xiuzhen felt that Qin Yanlin was doing this on purpose, that he didn't trust her older brother, and that he didn't value her. So, in a fit of pique, she went out and got caught in the rain, and caught a cold when she came back. Qin Yanlin told her to take medicine, but she refused; he also told her to eat, but she refused. The two were at an impasse.

She was reborn at this time, and because all she could remember were the past twenty years with her children, she didn't recall these events in this life at all, and even forgot that she and her husband were having a conflict.

Regarding her elder brother's matter, she did know the aftermath: in her previous life, at her insistence, they lent money to Deng Chunlin, but who knew that Deng Chunlin would use the money to lend at high interest rates, and in the end, just as Qin Yanlin said, they lost everything and never paid back the money.

After this incident, instead of repenting, he went further astray. Because he didn't follow the right path, he spent several years in prison. After returning, he kidnapped a relative's child to try and make money, resulting in another two years in prison. After his return, no one dared to associate with him, especially those with children. Even his own sister, Deng Xiuzhen, didn't dare let her brother know where she lived; she had to be responsible for her grandson.

"Xiuzhen?" Qin Yanlin looked at the silent Deng Xiuzhen with concern, sighed and said, "Then lend it to her. Let Brother Chunlin come and collect the money tomorrow."

"Huh? What did you say? What do you mean, come to get the money?" Deng Xiuzhen didn't speak because she was thinking about what would happen next. She didn't hear what Qin Yanlin said at all, she only heard the three words "come to get the money".

"I mean, let Chunlin come and get the money, and we'll lend it to him. Stop being so stubborn. If you get sick from anger, the children will suffer too, and I won't be able to feel good about it." Qin Yanlin finished speaking, lowered his head, and took a sip of soup to hide his displeasure. He really didn't want to lend the money. His own family urgently needed it, but mainly he felt that Deng Chunlin seemed to be doing something dishonest, and that shady dealings were prone to problems.

But if they didn't lend the money, the couple's stubbornness wouldn't last. So they decided to lend it anyway; if they could pay it back in the future, they could consider it a windfall; if not, they could consider it a business loss.

“We won’t lend that money to anyone, not even my brother or your brother. We’ll just focus on making a good life for ourselves and creating a bright future for our children!” Deng Xiuzhen said.

"What did you say?" Qin Yanlin suddenly raised his head. The surprise came too suddenly, and he could hardly believe it.

"I mean, let's not lend this money anymore, let's live a good life together," Deng Xiuzhen said earnestly, looking at Qin Yanlin.

"Really, really not going to lend it?" Qin Yanlin was still a little incredulous.

"I really won't lend it anymore." Deng Xiuzhen nodded solemnly.

"You're not just saying that out of anger, are you?"

"No."

"That's good, that's good!" Qin Yanlin patted his chest, but forgot that he was holding chopsticks and dropped them on the ground.

"Dad, you'll get a beating if you drop your chopsticks!" Wen Yu shouted.

"Dad was wrong, Dad deserves a beating." Qin Yanlin smiled as he picked up his chopsticks and got up to go to the kitchen.

Looking at Wen Yu's chubby face, Deng Xiuzhen felt a pang of sadness. He was such a cute and adorable child, how could he grow up to be so selfish and heartless?

"Mom?" Deng Xiuzhen's gaze made all three children realize what was happening. They were used to their parents arguing, because their parents would quarrel every few days, either about buying goods or about family matters, mostly because their mother's family came to borrow money. But they had never seen their mother look at them like this before.

"It's nothing, you guys eat. I just noticed that Yu Yu seems to have grown taller again. His clothes are a bit too short, and his hair is a bit long too. I'll take him to get a haircut on Sunday." The children's reactions reminded Deng Xiuzhen that she couldn't be too emotional, or she would scare them.

"We've almost finished discussing the foundation. Tomorrow, once we've completed the formalities, we'll prepare to buy stones and hire someone to lay the foundation." With no more loans needed, Qin Yanlin was in a good mood and started talking about tomorrow's plans before even sitting down.

"Yanlin, I think we should reconsider the foundation issue," Deng Xiuzhen said thoughtfully.

"Huh? What are you thinking about? We've already paid the deposit. If we don't buy it, we won't get it back. Besides, buying land to build a house is definitely a good thing. Xiuzhen, you have to trust my judgment." Qin Yanlin quickly persuaded her. He thought Deng Xiuzhen had doubts about whether the land was worthwhile, and he also felt that Deng Xiuzhen had some concerns about borrowing money.

"Yanlin, I'm not saying this won't make money. Your decision is definitely right, my husband. Yanlin, you are capable, I'm absolutely certain of that. Otherwise, I wouldn't have listened to you and refused to lend money to my brother." In my past life, I often heard couples picking up and dropping off their children at school say these things, and after hearing it so many times, it came out naturally to me.

"I, I..." Qin Yanlin, who had never heard Deng Xiuzhen say such things before, blushed and stammered. These words sounded a bit cheesy, but he was secretly delighted. Who doesn't like being praised? Especially when it was his wife, who had always been somewhat domineering, always contradicting him, and always belittling him, praising him? The feeling was simply wonderful.

"I heard today that the team also wants that plot of land, but we can't compete with them. Rather than making enemies and still not getting it in the end, we might as well give it to them and gain their favor."

"The team wants that foundation? I haven't heard anything about it. I'll talk to the team about it. There shouldn't be any problem. Don't worry." Qin Yanlin was a little puzzled, but he still quickly reassured Deng Xiuzhen.

“I only heard about it when I came back today, so I’m not really sure what the specifics are. Why don’t we get some rest today and see how things go tomorrow?” Deng Xiuzhen didn’t give a definitive answer; she was just trying to give Qin Yanlin a hint so he wouldn’t be so insistent on getting the land.

Because she knew that the one who truly wanted the land wasn't from the team, but from the team leader's cousin, Qin Xiubing. Qin Xiubing was no easy opponent; he had connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds. In her previous life, he had used underhanded tactics to injure Qin Yanlin, ultimately gaining the land while Qin Yanlin was injured, yet he suffered no loss whatsoever.
