Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space-Chapter 1036: You’re So Troublesome

Xinyan worried that she might overthink and hurt herself, just as she was about to change the topic, she heard He Yuanyuan suddenly burst into tears after being neglected.

He Yanqing swiftly turned her head and rushed over to pick up the child before Guo Yueyue, Yuanyuan’s biological mother, could reach her: "Auntie will hold you, Yuanyuan don’t cry."

Mother He’s eyes welled with tears upon seeing her daughter like this, inwardly cursing the culprit countless times.

Seeing everyone was present, Mother He told the grandchildren to set the table for dinner.

After all, there was important business to discuss later.

At this moment, Mr. He lightly coughed: "Xudong, go to the next courtyard and call over your Second Uncle’s family."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sister He’s face visibly darkened, but she didn’t stop him; she simply turned and left the room.

With many hands, the meal was quickly served.

The people from Second Branch were probably waiting for a long time; if it wasn’t for the embarrassment of coming uninvited, they might have arrived earlier, as the aroma of the food was too tempting.

The Second Branch folks knew they weren’t welcomed by the Main Branch, so they sat far away, positioning themselves between the Third and Fifth Branches.

With the inclusion of the Second Branch, the previously lively atmosphere at dinner had dissipated.

However, this resulted in everyone eating faster, and the gathering ended swiftly.

Afterwards, He Family’s Sister-in-law took her daughter He Xunan to the kitchen to wash dishes.

Mother He directly instructed her second daughter-in-law Gao Yumei to take the children back, leaving only her second son He Jian Country.

Initially, Gao Yumei wanted to protest, but one stern look from He Jian Country silenced her.

Xinyan originally intended to help in the kitchen, but Mother He stopped her: "You sit down and listen, see if you have any good suggestions."

Xinyan truly sympathized with He Yanqing, but since she hadn’t married into the He Family yet, even if she had ideas, it wouldn’t be appropriate to offer advice casually.

If He Yanqing regretted it in the future, Xinyan would be blamed endlessly. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Thus, she merely nodded and sat back down, prepared to listen attentively.

Mr. He saw everyone was seated, coughed lightly, and said: "You all know what happened with Yanqing before and why we haven’t visited the Cui Family yet. We didn’t want to strain relations and affect Yanqing’s confinement period.

Now, her confinement is over, and her health is relatively good, but this matter can’t just be brushed aside; we must go to the Cui Family for an explanation.

What’s everyone’s opinion?"

At this moment, He Jiefang, the eldest brother in the family, spoke: "Yanqing, what do you think?"

Even though more than a month had passed, merely mentioning it made He Yanqing’s chest ache, leaving her short of breath.

Xinyan saw her in this state and quickly walked over, pressing on a few acupoints. Only when Yanqing’s emotions calmed did she stop.

He Yanqing’s clear and cold voice emerged: "I want to separate from the family."

For a moment, no one responded, as currently only Cui Ziqiang, her son, stayed by her side; the other two sons from the Cui Family were not in Sanyuan City.

Mr. He intended to light a cigarette but was stopped by He Yuejin: "Dad, there are kids around, maybe it’s better not to smoke?"

Mr. He scowled: "You’re always fussing."

Nonetheless, he put down the cigarette box, raised a teacup to take a sip of water, but found it empty and irritably pushed it toward He Yuejin: "Go fill it with water."

Understanding that his father hadn’t recovered from the issue with Yanqing, He Yuejin dared not oppose him: "Alright, I’ll go right away."
