Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space

Chapter 1289: If He Isn’t Good to Her, Who Should He Be Good To?

When Xinyan and He Jinxuan arrived at the Zhao Family’s house, Zhang Meilian heard them and came out to greet them: "Xinyan, Jinxuan, come in quickly. Jianlan was just talking about you guys a few days ago."Xinyan stepped forward with a smile: "Auntie, long time no see."

Zhang Meilian looked Xinyan up and down: "You’re getting more and more beautiful. Jinxuan is really lucky."

He Jinxuan, hearing someone praise his wife’s beauty, was all smiles: "Meeting Xinyan is indeed my good fortune."

Lu Haibo, who was walking behind, muttered: "I’m quite lucky too."

Zhang Meilian didn’t expect Lu Haibo to say that, but since he was someone her daughter approved of, she laughed: "Yes, you’re lucky too. Learn more from Jinxuan and be good to our Jianlan."

Lu Haibo chuckled in response: "I sure will. Who else could I be good to if not her?"

In his excitement, he blurted out: "Mom, you can rest assured."

The words had barely left his mouth before his arm was twisted around painfully, making him yelp: "Ow, ow, ow."

Everyone saw his grimacing face and burst into laughter.

When Zhang Meilian heard that "Mom" from Lu Haibo, she was first surprised, then smiled brightly, because this call came from the heart, unlike those said just for show.

Seeing her future son-in-law hopping in pain, she spoke up: "Look how much pain he’s in. Why don’t you let go?"

Zhao Jianlan, her face flushed, said: "He broke the rules, deserves it."

Seeing her daughter’s blushing face, Zhang Meilian quickly stepped in: "It’s pretty cold outside, hurry up and take Xinyan and them inside."

Having said that, she looked at the people standing behind them: "Who are these?"

Ye Siyan ran up at this moment: "It’s my grandpa and dad."

Zhang Meilian pointed at the much-taller Ye Siyan: "Are you Siyan?"

Ye Siyan nodded with a smile: "Yes, I am Ye Siyan."

Zhang Meilian looked up at Ye Sili who followed: "Are you Sili?"

Ye Sili nodded at her: "Yes."

Mr. Ye stepped forward: "Why aren’t you greeting anyone?"

Ye Siyan looked up and said: "We used to call you Auntie when we followed our sister, but now that she’s becoming an Aunt, if we keep calling you Auntie, it feels like we are of the same generation. But if we call you Grandma, wouldn’t that make you seem old?"

Although Zhang Meilian was about to become a grandma, she maintained herself well and laughed heartily at Ye Siyan’s words: "You’re such a sweet-talker, really adorable.

Then let’s keep it to Auntie for everyone, that way I still seem young, right?"

Zhao Jianlan also laughed at this moment: "Because of these titles, we’ve found ourselves in quite a few funny situations. Earlier, Xinyan even called you sister-in-law, and if not for my strong insistence, she might have ended up in the same generation as you young ones."

Xinyan remembered and explained: "I thought calling Sister Wu ’sister-in-law’, and Auntie and Sister Wu seemed about the same age. It felt off to call generationally different, so I figured just calling sister-in-law was fine.

But as soon as I said it, you overruled me, and I reverted to calling Auntie instead."

Everyone listening to their conversation couldn’t help but laugh, and then Zhao Huaiqing, returning from outside, said with a smile: "Just call it how you see it, whatever works."

Zhang Meilian laughed and replied: "You’re afraid calling people old, aren’t you?"

Zhao Huaiqing put down what he was holding: "Well now you’re wrong, don’t forget in a couple of months we’ll be upgraded to Grandpa and Grandma."

After saying that, he smiled and greeted Mr. Ye: "Don’t freeze out there in the yard, let’s go inside and chat."
