Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space
Chapter 167: No Rules, No Order
CHAPTER 167: CHAPTER 167: NO RULES, NO ORDER
Han Jingchen watched Han Chunli talking to herself, a cold sneer in his heart. In the past, he didn’t care about anything, but now it’s different. He has news of his wife and daughter, and naturally, he doesn’t want to muddle through anymore.
The most unexpected thing for him was the connection with Han Chunli, and over the years, Han Chunli hadn’t mentioned a word to him. In light of her actions over the years, he indeed started to doubt her.
In the past, he didn’t care because he felt hopeless, and keeping those external things seemed useless. But now things were different; with all the news coming back, he had to handle everything around him in advance.
After Han Chunli finished speaking, Han Jingchen said, "Without rules, nothing can be done properly. Xiaowen is my niece, so is Zhenling. I have three nephews and four nieces, so I must be fair to all."
Han Chunli’s face was very unpleasant: "Second Brother, I knew Big Brother and Third Sister must have said something to you. Over the years, Xiaowen’s poor health has indeed been a burden to everyone, but wasn’t my situation special?"
Han Jingchen ignored Han Chunli and instead looked directly at his brother-in-law, Ji Linfeng: "Over the years, because of Xiaowen’s poor health, my special supply has mostly been taken up by you. Big Brother and Third Sister’s family were no exception. But you must remember, helping you is kindness, not helping is my duty, and they have never said anything inappropriate in front of me.
The reason I called you here is that Chunli has become too complacent and confident over the years. Listen to what she just said; I, as the Second Brother, can’t tolerate her anymore."
Han Chunli didn’t expect Second Brother to be so direct.
Honestly, Ji Linfeng didn’t expect that the brother-in-law who never meddled in these matters would show no leniency this time.
But, thinking about what Chunli had done over the years, it was understandable that even between siblings, there should be limits.
Chunli indeed had gone too far.
At the office, everyone envied Han Chunli’s good fortune, with her brothers and sister-in-law treating her wholeheartedly, prioritizing her family for everything, just because there was a sick child needing careful nurturing at home.
Ji Linfeng now understood that this time, Brother-in-law meant business: "Second Brother, Chunli has indeed been unreasonable over the years, but the responsibility lies with me.
Let’s go with what I proposed, transfer the Baiyuan Lane house to Second Brother; this way, it benefits everyone."
Han Jingchen looked at Ji Linfeng: "Since you say so, I can’t take advantage of you either. Jingsong, call someone from the Housing Authority to come over and assess."
Su Jingsong, being smart, directly made the call in front of Ji Linfeng and Han Chunli, insisting on fairness and official procedures.
The person on the other end couldn’t guess Su Jingsong’s intentions and made the assessment based on the actual situation, leaving no room for argument.
Soon, the call came in, giving the assessed price based on the location, the house’s age, and the current market price. The current price of that house is four thousand yuan.
Han Jingchen looked at the two and spoke calmly: "Go back and think it over. If you can find a higher offer, just repay the previous eighteen hundred yuan. If not, I’ll pay an additional two hundred yuan over the assessment price from the Housing Authority because it’s not a small matter. Discuss it and get back to me."
Then he looked at Su Jingsong: "I’m tired, see them out."
Han Chunli, somewhat angry, stood up to speak but was pulled back by Ji Linfeng, who quickly shook his head at her: "Listen to Second Brother, let’s leave first. Xiaowen can’t be left alone."
Su Jingsong said to the couple, "Please, let me see you out."
As soon as Han Chunli stepped out of the sanatorium’s gate, she angrily said to Ji Linfeng: "Why did you pull me back?"
Ji Linfeng, a bit helpless, replied: "What have you done over the years? Others aren’t clear, but you should be. I’ve told you before to take it easy. After all, we each have our families now.
Even if Big Brother, Second Brother, and Third Sister remember Dad’s last words, they all have spouses and children. But you, you took advantage of every opportunity without regard, and now look at the mess."
Han Chunli couldn’t take it in: "Then why is Second Brother doing this? Why insist on demanding repayment just when Xiaowen needs surgery? Isn’t that forcing us?"
Suddenly, she thought of something and hurried back to the sanatorium gate: "Sir, I have something to ask."
The gatekeeper, seeing it was Han Chunli, didn’t even smile but still asked, "What is it?"
Han Chunli glanced around the courtyard, and seeing no one passing by, she asked, "Have my Big Brother and Third Sister come to see my Second Brother recently?"
