Chapter 183: Chapter 183 You, Woman, Have Ruined Our Family

Qiao Qingyu really didn’t want to go. She had cultivated the Barley Grass seed, but not in reality—it was in a dimensional space.

He Xiuyu also disagreed, only letting Old Xie go to Beijing to bring back the Barley Grass seeds.

However, the customs officer called again, hoping Qiao Qingyu could make the trip in person.

After much thought, He Xiuyu decided to accompany Qiao Qingyu to Beijing.

Qiao Qingyu only found out after He Xiuyu had purchased the tickets.

The customs’ request was reasonable, and she could no longer refuse. Moreover, with He Xiuyu by her side, she felt much more at ease.

Since customs was pressing, they set off the next day, naturally bringing Rongrong along.

After arriving in Beijing, they stayed at the headquarters’ guesthouse.

During dinner, Old Xie said, "Qingyu, is this your first time in Beijing?"

Qiao Qingyu was stunned for a moment; after all, she used to live in Beijing.

But in the book, it was indeed Qiao Qingyu’s first time in Beijing, so she smiled and nodded.

He Xiuyu then remembered how Qiao Qingyu had been so insistent about going to Beijing when they first got married.

It was not easy to come to Beijing, so he really should take Qiao Qingyu out to enjoy the city, even though his reason for coming with her to customs was partly due to concern and partly because he indeed had work to report at the headquarters.

Now, it being summer, Qiao Qingyu and Rongrong wore dresses of the same color with sandals on their feet, although many fashion-conscious girls in Beijing had already started wearing high heels.

But these three were strikingly attractive, so whatever they wore looked good.

Old Xie had relatives in Beijing and had left early in the morning. After getting ready, He Xiuyu took Qiao Qingyu and Rongrong out.

The blazing sun was like fire, and He Xiuyu somehow found two umbrellas.

They first went to stroll down a famous street.

It was an era of collision between planned economy and market economy.

Old met new, with goods for bargaining, rationed items, and foreign trade goods.

He Xiuyu glanced at the shoes on Qiao Qingyu’s feet, then discreetly surveyed her neckline, fingers, and wrists—she wore nothing.

She was his wife now, and he hadn’t even bought her a necklace.

While turning a corner, Rongrong suddenly stopped and looked up, "Little uncle, I don’t want to see grandma, but I do want to see grandpa."

Rongrong, who had changed a lot in nature since her recovery, was now outspoken under the pampering of these two.

He Xiuyu frowned slightly but still nodded, "Okay, little uncle will take you to see grandpa."

"I don’t want to see grandma or little aunt either," He Xuerong emphasized specifically.

"Okay, little uncle promises you,"

He Xuerong smiled sweetly, then looked up at Qiao Qingyu, "Little aunt, you shouldn’t go see grandma and little aunt either, they badmouth you every day..."

Qiao Qingyu felt a bit awkward, and He Xiuyu coughed, "Alright, Rongrong, tell little uncle what you want, and he will buy it for you."

"I want a television set."

He Xiuyu laughed, "Even if we buy a television set now, we can’t receive any channels. When we can get channels in the future, little uncle will definitely buy you one."

He Xuerong, although not very happy, still nodded in agreement, and by this time, they had reached the bargaining area on the third to the left, which mainly sold items for export that were turned for domestic sale.

Everything was available, a veritable feast for the eyes.

The pity was that they couldn’t shop as freely as they would a few decades later—picking something up and trying it on in the fitting room at will. At this moment, wanting to buy clothes meant having to be at the mercy of the salesperson’s mood. Fortunately, the appearance and temperament of these three people stood out, so the salesperson greeted them with a smile.

Qiao Qingyu’s gaze fell upon a pair of black, cut-out high heels.

Fashion truly is a cycle, and the saying held true. She had a similar pair at home that matched her clothing perfectly. Just as she was about to ask the salesperson to take a look at these shoes, a surprised voice suddenly called out from behind, "Second brother!"

The three standing at the counter turned around as if on cue. He Xuerong swiftly hid behind Qiao Qingyu—a reflexive action. The little girl’s face was a tad pale, her small hand clutching tightly at the corner of Qiao Qingyu’s dress.

Not far away stood a beautiful girl, about twenty years old, wearing a pale pink dress with lace trim and a pair of white, real leather high heels. With curved willow eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes that carried a somewhat sharp gaze filled with pride, her voice was nonetheless filled with excitement, but it was directed at He Xiuyu.

There were three or four girls by her side, all looking curiously at the three of them, though most gazes lingered on He Xiuyu.

Then, one of the girls bashfully greeted him, "Brother Xiu Yu..."

By this time, the girl who had shouted "Second brother" had already strode forward, looking at He Xiuyu with her eyes sparkling, "Second brother, when did you come back?"

He Xiuyu spoke indifferently, "I came back yesterday."

"Then why didn’t you go home?" she asked.

"Today is Monday, why didn’t you go to work?" He Xiuyu countered.

He Juanjuan pouted, "I don’t like that rotten workplace at all."

She seemed reluctant to talk about her job and, pointing to Qiao Qingyu with a frown, said, "Second brother, who is she? She couldn’t possibly be..."

He Xiuyu hesitated for a moment but then nodded, "She is your second sister-in-law."

He Juanjuan’s eyes suddenly widened in shock, and her expression changed, her voice rising a little shrill, "She’s Qiao Qingyu?"

Qiao Qingyu’s expression also changed; even a fool could see that He Juanjuan’s hostility towards her was thick.

But this was a public place, and she still smiled at He Juanjuan, "Hello, you must be Juanjuan, right?"

"Shameless. What right do you have to call me Juanjuan?" He Juanjuan rebuked furiously.

Qiao Qingyu’s expression darkened instantly.

He Juanjuan, teeming with rage, pointed at Qiao Qingyu, "You and your shameless mother have ruined our family, and now you want to ruin my second brother too..."

"Shut up!" He Xiuyu’s face turned instantly ashen; he truly hadn’t expected his younger sister, who was already working, to still act as arrogantly and willfully as she did before.

He stepped forward to grab He Juanjuan’s hand, but she violently shook him off, "Second brother, what are you doing? Are you trying to hit me? This woman is shameless, just like her mother..."

Qiao Qingyu took a step forward, her gaze steady as she fixed it on He Juanjuan, "He Juanjuan, say that one more time!"

"You are just as shameless as your mother. How dare you even walk into the He Family’s door..."

Slap!

Qiao Qingyu’s hand struck her face.

The sound of the slap brought sudden silence all around. The salespeople were stunned. If they hadn’t misheard, this was supposed to be the relationship between a sister-in-law and her sister-in-law. But this sister-in-law was fierce. What was going on with the younger sister, claiming her to be as shameless as her mother?

A few of the salespeople gathered around to watch the excitement.
