Chapter 827: You Must Keep It in Your Heart

She had originally planned to drive this car out for a spin tomorrow to familiarize herself with the road conditions and environment.

Besides, although Qin Ruixue didn't have a good reputation, she was, after all, Qin Hengzhi's sister and not a flood dragon or wild beast, so what was she afraid of?

Grandpa Qin had been sitting in the grand master's chair reading the newspaper. At this moment, his eyelids lifted slightly, and he exchanged a glance with Qin Feng, who was sitting silently to the side.

In that moment their eyes met, they both saw the same emotion in the other's eyes: It must be said that this Lu Qiao is indeed not an ordinary girl.

For a young wife in an ordinary family, facing a sister-in-law like Qin Ruixue—who is notorious and has more tricks than a sieve—they would either be trembling with fear or glaring with hostility, always carrying prejudice.

But Lu Qiao could get along naturally like this, completely unaffected by the other party's past. This composure, this breadth of mind, is truly very admirable.

Qin Ruixue was made to feel a bit awkward by Lu Qiao's matter-of-fact attitude, and could only praise dryly: "Then you are really amazing."

Lu Qiao still had a smile on her face, but she didn't intend to dwell too much on this topic.

She cleverly stopped the conversation, stood up, and said with a smile: "I am indeed a bit tired; I didn't sleep soundly on the train all the way. I'll go upstairs to rest first. Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Dad, Big Sister, you all rest early too."

After finishing, she didn't look at anyone anymore, turning and going upstairs with light steps. That back was straight and neat, without the slightest bit of dragging.

Once Lu Qiao left, the atmosphere in the living room instantly became heavy again. The old lady of the Qin family looked at Qin Ruixue, who was still standing in place with a complex expression, and sighed a long sigh in her heart. This child, in the end, is someone who doesn't make people rest easy.

"Ruixue..." The old lady's voice sank, without the gentleness she had just shown to Lu Qiao: "Since you've returned, you can't be like before. Grandma doesn't want to say any heavy words to irritate you either. You are such a big person, having eaten such a big lesson, the nerve in your brain should have turned the corner by now, right? Knowing what should be done and what shouldn't be done."

She paused, pointed upstairs, and continued earnestly: "And look at Qiao; she is several years younger than you. Look at her achievements now; that is something many people envy. Look at her way of handling things, that calm spirit, and look at her conversation. Ruixue, if you could learn even one-thousandth of Qiao's ability, it would be enough for you to benefit infinitely in this life."

If it were the Qin Ruixue of the past, hearing this, she would have long ago retorted with sarcasm: "Are you kidding? Even one-thousandth? This is too exaggerated! She, Lu Qiao, is a person, and I am also a person!"

But today is different from the past. Even if Qin Ruixue was still muttering in her heart, she clearly knew that these words could never be spoken again. She could only swallow that unwillingness hard.

But she had to admit that this Lu Qiao, and her brother Qin Hengzhi, who was equally unfathomable, seemed to be the same kind of person.

That is a characteristic that is very difficult to describe in words.

With Qin Ruixue's current cultural level and experience, she couldn't find suitable vocabulary to describe it, but she just vaguely felt that this sister-in-law was really not ordinary at all.

She lowered her eyelids to cover the surging emotions in her eyes, and finally nodded, saying in a low voice: "Grandma, I know."

At this time, Bai Jinyan, who had been sitting to the side and not saying much, got up and left.

She entered the bedroom she shared with Qin Feng, and after a while, walked out again, holding a brand-new wallet. She pulled the zipper, and inside was a thick stack of banknotes neatly arranged. She counted them, and there were a full five hundred yuan.

In the 1980s, this was undoubtedly a huge sum of money.

Bai Jinyan handed the money to Qin Ruixue, her tone devoid of temperature: "Ruixue, take it. When you go out for a stroll with Qiao tomorrow, if you see anything she likes, buy it for her. Of course, if you have anything you like, you can also buy it. Anyway... it won't be like before, restricting you economically."

Qin Ruixue lowered her head, her long bangs covering her eyes, making it impossible to see her expression at this moment.

But those slightly trembling shoulders still leaked her resentment and grievance inside.

Grandpa Qin was watching from the side with his brows tightly locked, and couldn't help but speak, his voice severe: "The reason why you can still stay at home peacefully after doing all these things is entirely because I am your grandfather, and your parents have dedicated their lives to scientific research. And your brother Hengzhi is supporting you from behind.

If there weren't these, do you think you could still have today? But you also have to know that flowers don't bloom for a hundred days, and people don't have a thousand days of goodness. No one knows what will happen in the future. You must keep what your grandma just said in your heart, word for word!"

The old man gasped for breath, his gaze fixed on Qin Ruixue like a torch: "And I don't think you have anything to be aggrieved about. Just like I said just now, in an ordinary family, there is no such opportunity to come into contact with a male comrade like Gu Jingwen, let alone give birth to those absurd thoughts. So there is nothing to be aggrieved about; the one who should be aggrieved is the Gu family! Suffering so many twists and turns for no reason, in the final analysis, it is all because of you, Qin Ruixue!"

This series of words made Qin Ruixue's face turn ashen. Where did she dare to make a sound? She could only bury her head lower.

Bai Jinyan on the other side, although she also felt uncomfortable in her heart, and even felt a burst of sadness, felt more powerlessness.

No matter what, this is her own biological daughter, born after ten months of pregnancy. But after giving birth to her, she and her husband responded to the call and went to the Great Northwest. By the time she came back later, the child's personality had already formed, and she had been raised in that way. Now, wanting to straighten it out is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

She hardened her heart: "Ruixue, I don't know what you are calculating in your heart now either. But I also want to tell you, Qiao is indeed not an ordinary girl. You will know after you come into contact with her that the qualities she possesses are excellent. But don't therefore produce any crooked thoughts. She is not a round, smooth gemstone that can be kneaded by others; she can actually also be a sharp sword! Don't try to go against Qiao, and don't challenge her bottom line, otherwise, the consequences are definitely not something you can bear! Do you understand?"

Qin Ruixue listened to her mother's merciless warning, felt a blockage in her heart, and nodded dully.

At this very moment, she was incredibly regretful for her impulsive invitation to Lu Qiao to go shopping today.

She originally just wanted to express a little goodwill and prove to her family that she had turned over a new leaf, after all, she really didn't want to leave Beidu again and go to that remote and poor place to suffer.

But now it seems, this shopping trip, I'm afraid it won't be that simple... ===== CHAPTER 828 =====
