Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space
Chapter 210: Let’s See Who Still Dares to Make a Move
CHAPTER 210: CHAPTER 210: LET’S SEE WHO STILL DARES TO MAKE A MOVE
Han Jingchen glared at his young nephew: "Looking at you makes me annoyed, go home and reflect."
It wasn’t because he mentioned the family’s situation that made him angry; he felt he lacked a sense of security. Alone at home, he dared to let strangers in.
Moreover, just based on a few words from others, without verifying with his family, he trusted what they said.
Looking at the young nephew’s unconvinced expression: "You just said, even if you don’t tell, he could still inquire about the situation of the family around here.
But conversely, what he said might also be hearsay; he might not be an old acquaintance of the elder at all. Your mistake lies in overly trusting others, putting yourself in danger."
Han Chaohui reached to touch his head: "Second uncle, isn’t what you said a bit too serious? Besides, I’m someone who’s trained in the army; he’s an old man, should I be scared of him?"
Han Jingchen replied irritably: "Go home and be grounded; come back when you’ve figured it out."
Han Chaohui never imagined that trying to show off would put him in trouble.
Seeing him leave, Han Jingchen turned to Su Jingsong behind him and said: "Unexpectedly, we’ve searched for so long without finding him, yet he delivered himself to us. But if he knew his own granddaughter was forced by his own daughter to have a kidney removed, I wonder what his mood would be?"
Su Jingsong didn’t answer but asked: "What should we do next?"
Han Jingchen let out a light ’humph’: "Since he delivered himself here, naturally, we have to meet. But let’s wait until he meets Han Chunli first; I’m sure it’ll be quite entertaining."
Su Jingsong, seeing his old leader’s expression, knew that some people might not be able to endure what’s coming next.

At the Mechanical Factory Qiu Family, Huang Yufeng suddenly screamed in her sleep, reaching out to grab the air: "Young lady."
Qiu Jouxuan, who was resting, was startled: "Yufeng, wake up, what’s happened to you?"
Huang Yufeng was sweating all over: "Old man, I dreamed about our young lady. She’s not doing well at all; we should tell them the truth and bring our daughter back."
Qiu Jouxuan frowned at her words: "Dreams are the opposite; you’re just overthinking this, don’t scare yourself."
Huang Yufeng saw her husband about to lie down again and pulled him back: "Old man, call them and ask about the situation; I’m really worried."
Qiu Jouxuan thought for a moment and agreed: "Alright, I’ll call from the factory later. She should be back by now; it’s not long until exams, and if she doesn’t return to review, I’m afraid she won’t even maintain her previous grades."
Huang Yufeng couldn’t focus on their daughter’s grades now; she’s feeling very anxious, fearing something has truly happened to her daughter.
Thinking about her daughter being alone in the unfamiliar Capital, if she encounters trouble, no one could help her, feeling suffocated: "It’s all my fault."
Although Qiu Jouxuan comforted his old wife, he was also worried, so he got up: "I’m leaving now."
Huang Yufeng quickly instructed: "Tell them to let the young lady call us tonight, just say I miss her and want to hear her voice."
Qiu Jouxuan put on his shoes: "Alright, I’ll tell them."
After finishing, he walked out of the house, somewhat anxiously heading to the factory. Though the family compound has phones, they charge money. He planned to use the warehouse phone to make long-distance calls, as it sometimes needed to coordinate with corresponding units, but the lock had to be unlocked by the duty captain.
He was familiar with a few people in the warehouse, and calling from there wouldn’t be overheard by others.

Xinyan truly didn’t expect He Jinxuan was right; someone in the family compound actually set their sights on her. Several aunties intentionally encountered her on her way to and from school.
Then casually chatting, implying that they were kind-hearted and didn’t mind her being a second marriage partner, willing to let their sons or nephews marry her.
Moreover, this trend was escalating; those aunties acted like they didn’t understand human speech, very persistent.
Xinyan found them annoying, so she started using the back gate instead, taking the back mountain route to school. After waiting a few days without catching her at the compound gate, those aunties actually came directly to her house to block her, which was too much.
Her stubborn personality led her to report directly to the factory’s security department.
He Jinxuan went further, directly notifying all the children of those aunties, publicly in front of coworkers. Shortly after, those aunties were taken home by their children.
He Jinxuan had thought about it; if he didn’t do this, those aunties wouldn’t stop. Besides, this matter couldn’t be hidden any longer, since there was already talk spreading. It was better to address it openly, discouraging anyone from attempting such things again.
