Reincarnation in the 60s: My Spatial Supermarket Brings Forth Wealth-Chapter 245: Annoying Mess

"Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma!" Wang Xiaofang said obediently as she took the money, then turned and handed it to her mother, Liu Lingling.

"Come on! Don’t waste time! Have a good New Year at home! We’ve never gathered together for the New Year, and this year is no different! We’re leaving!" Li Xiuying stood up, tidied her clothes, and handed the house key to her second son, Wang Shusheng.

But Lin Xue noticed that the old lady had pocketed the warehouse key and didn’t give it to her son.

Wang Shusheng’s face changed slightly, but he took the key anyway, promising that he’d definitely keep the fire going.

"Mom, let me help with the fire! How does the second brother, a big man, know how to keep the fire going?" Feng Minghua stepped forward, trying to take the key from Wang Shusheng’s hand.

"Sister-in-law, you shouldn’t say that. I can’t let my man handle the fire either! Don’t worry, I’ll come over to keep the fire going, and there’s Xiaofang too!" Liu Lingling quickly stepped in to protect her husband.

Feng Minghua gave her a fierce glare. She never speaks up until there’s some benefit to be had, and every time she quietly takes advantage, it’s really infuriating.

Lin Xue ignored them, took her grandparents, and came out, wrapping them warmly in blankets.

She knew that her grandparents still cared quite a bit about their grandchildren and granddaughters.

Even a single yuan from an ordinary family is quite generous nowadays.

Not too much, but definitely not too little. Moreover, every time the grandsons and granddaughters visit, they always take out whatever they have for them. Lin Xue knew this, but she just turned a blind eye, as long as the two elders were happy.

As they were about to leave the village, two people started shouting from behind the carriage, running while working hard, unable to run fast in the snow.

"It’s the in-laws, Grandpa Niu and Grandma Niu!" Grandpa Wang recognized them after looking for a moment.

"Why are they chasing after us?" Grandma Li Xiuying frowned.

"Maybe they have something to pass on to their daughter! Yingying’s belly is getting bigger too." Grandpa Wang always saw things in a good light.

Lin Xue pouted. Those kinds of parents, if they don’t ask their daughter for something, it’s like the sun rises from the west. How could they possibly be giving her anything!

The carriage stopped, and after a while, the elderly couple caught up. Lin Xue looked at the bundle in the old couple’s hands and for a moment thought she had misjudged them.

Perhaps this couple had really come to deliver something to their daughter.

But as soon as she heard Grandpa Niu’s first sentence, Lin Xue spat on the ground, disgusted by them!

"Old Wang, you’re heading to the city to celebrate the New Year, huh? Why did you leave without waiting for us? Making us run so far!"

Grandpa Niu was out of breath, pacing himself, and complained with a displeased face.

"Yeah, it wore out my old arms and legs!" Grandma Niu chimed in from the side.

"In-laws, what’s this about? You want to send something for Yingying? We didn’t know! Sorry for making you run so far! Yingying has everything she needs, don’t worry!" Li Xiuying genuinely thought it was as her husband suggested and apologized with a good face.

"What sending something? Old lady Wang! Don’t pretend you don’t know! I’m telling you, my daughter brought you into the city for New Year, we need to come too! That’s my own daughter! I haven’t enjoyed any benefits, and you as parents-in-law have? It’s not fair! Unjust!" Grandma Niu began to fuss.

Lin Xue watched in disbelief. If there hadn’t been snow on the ground, she thought, this old woman would probably be sitting down slapping her thighs already? No one did anything to her, yet she’s wailing?

"In-laws, you can’t say that! We’re going to our own daughter’s house, how can we bring you along? There’s no place to stay!" Li Xiuying still gave face to her in-laws and didn’t speak harshly.

"Your own daughter? At best she’s half a daughter! If there’s no place to stay, you shouldn’t go either; we’ll go, and a real mother taking care of her daughter is surely better than a mother-in-law!" Grandma Niu insisted relentlessly, while Grandpa Niu nodded along.

Seeing how his wife spoke and the in-laws still didn’t listen, Grandpa Wang was about to speak up, but Lin Xue couldn’t stand it anymore.

"Grandpa and Grandma-in-law, my mom, Wang Cuihua is bringing my grandparents over for the New Year, which has nothing to do with your daughter, who is also my little aunt-in-law Niu Yingying for years! What are you making a fuss about? Moreover, even if my little aunt-in-law wanted to bring you over for the New Year, their dormitory couldn’t accommodate anyone else; even just the two of them barely fit! You all are overthinking it!"

Lin Xue’s explanation left Grandpa Niu and Grandma Niu stunned, had they been overthinking?

Weren’t they told by Feng Minghua that her parents-in-law were taken away by her brother-in-law for a prosperous New Year in the city?

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have known, and wouldn’t have hurriedly packed a few clothes and chased after them!

It even took their sons carrying them near the horse carriage, or else how could their pace keep up with it?

"Impossible! Your daughter-in-law said your daughter-in-law took you to enjoy a prosperous New Year; isn’t that my daughter? Lying to me won’t help! We’re definitely going to the city this time! If there’s no room at my daughter’s, we’ll stay with you. We’re genuine relatives, little Cuihua wouldn’t kick us out, right?" Grandma Niu resorted to pestering.

"Grandma-in-law, don’t worry, my mom wouldn’t kick you out because..." Lin Xue prolonged her tone, building suspense, "because I won’t let you in! The carriage can’t take you either! Uncle Liang, let’s go!" Lin Xue finished and called back to the driver.

"Hyah..." Uncle Liang commanded, and the two horses drew the carriage, trotting away.

The Niu couple hadn’t even reacted before Lin Xue’s carriage was over a hundred meters away. Behind them, the couple cursed at Lin Xue.

Saying things like how she wouldn’t get married, how she was shrewd, and all sorts of nasty things.

"So excessive! That old lady’s terrible mouth! Thank goodness Yingying didn’t take after her, or else our Yongsheng would be ruined!" Li Xiuying was angrily panting, her breath freezing on her eyelashes, yet she didn’t feel the cold.

"Alright, Grandma, it’s not worth getting angry at such people. Let’s cover up with some blankets, don’t catch a cold, or else my mom won’t let me off easy!" Lin Xue comforted with a smile.

Grandpa was the type to brood in silence when angry; he just sulked, and Lin Xue didn’t know how to comfort him.

"My good granddaughter got insulted so badly by that old witch, my heart..." Li Xiuying, gentle by nature, could talk about anything, but she couldn’t argue when it came to quarrels. She got so worked up that her words came out all jumbled.

All the way, Lin Xue comforted her grandma, finally soothing her.

But every now and then, she’d mutter about the injustice of her granddaughter getting insulted, unable to let it go.

Until they got home, where the whole family came out to greet them with warm inquiries.

There was tea, snacks, and sunflower seeds, with their daughter thoughtfully chatting with the elders, along with the in-laws and two little kids around.

Soon, the unpleasant memories of the journey were completely forgotten.

In the evening, the dumplings made by Lin Yun and her sister were served, along with a feast prepared by Wang Cuihua. Although not as delicious as what Lin Xue could make, the array of fish and meat was still delicious.

The couple ate with great satisfaction, both physically and mentally, and with the warmth of the kang bed, they truly enjoyed the blessing of their daughter’s home.
