Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Bai Jing felt a bit uneasy staying here since she originally came to take advantage of Qin Xue.

But now, Qin Xue was asking her for a loan—why should she have to?

Bai Jing seemed to have forgotten that she had already borrowed quite a bit of money from Qin Xue before, without repaying it.

But it was now impossible for her to deceive Qin Xue—who even Ruirui couldn’t trick—who was this confident new person. What a joke.

Luckily, Qin Xue had no recollection of her past life; otherwise, Bai Jing wouldn’t even be able to stand here rambling on. Qin Xue would have already found a way to teach her a lesson and retrieved the money and tickets she’d scammed from her original self.

“Um, Qin Xue, it’s not that I won’t lend you money.

You know I only have a limited amount of allowance. Every time I receive it, I send it straight back home to support my family—there’s simply no money left for me.

Bai Jing thought she wouldn’t lend the money to a fool like Qin Xue even if she could.

She now decided to come back once Chu Molin and the others had returned. At that point, Chu Molin would be sure to abandon Qin Xue once he set eyes on Bai Jing.

It has to be said that some people just can’t see their own worthlessness.

Back when Qin Xue and Bai Jing had been good friends, Bai Jing often visited Qin Xue’s home. She’d seen Chu Molin before but he’d barely glanced at her.

How could Bai Jing think about tempting Chu Molin now that the new Ruirui-like Qin Xue was here? She must have been daydreaming.

“Oh, is that so? I thought I might be able to borrow a little from you.

Well, nevermind then. It’s just that Molin didn’t leave me much money, and I don’t know how it was spent- I only have a little left. Could it be that someone…” Qin Xue spoke half-truths; she was testing Bai Jing’s reaction.

Qin Xue was trying to gauge Bai Jing’s response. If she could get something out of Bai Jing about her previous relationship, that would have been great.

“Qin Xue, I have things to do. I’ll leave now. Come find me in my dorm when you’re free.” Bai Jing hastily left once she heard this, afraid that Qin Xue would make her pay the money back.

Looking at Bai Jing’s flustered expression, Qin Xue thought there must be something she didn’t know going on.

How could she dig up this information? Qin Xue decided to worry about it later —for now, she had things to do.

After finishing the last bite of food and sipping some soup, Qin Xue tidied the table and went into her space. She took a look at the fishlings she’d caught earlier and noticed that they seemed to have grown quite a bit.

Qin Xue scooped up a fishling and saw that it had indeed grown larger. This space was truly powerful. Soon, she would have fish to eat.

She dumped the fishlings into a water-filled pond she’d dug out with a hoe—a three-meter-wide and one-meter-deep pond.

She took a knife to the bamboo grove, cut two rods, removed the middle section, and then guided the Spirit Spring water into the larger pool near it.

Qin Xue allowed the spring water to flow into the pond. She then scooped up all the fishlings, emptied them into the water, and left them alone.

She laid out the pebbles she’d collected earlier that day at the bottom of the bath, placing them in a neat row. The mosaic of pebbles came together like a beautiful painting.

Concrete was still needed for the pool wall and had to be purchased. Once the spring water entered, it would dirty the water, so she planned to find someone to renovate it in the city.

Qin Xue told Xue Ling to turn off the water flow once the pool was almost full to prevent it from overflowing. After taking a bath, she went to bed and quickly fell asleep.

The following morning, Qin Xue checked her renovation designs and packed her latest clothing designs before leaving.

She headed straight for the city, intending to eat breakfast there. Her first order of business was to fill her stomach.

A meat bun, a cup of soy milk, and a fried breadstick—Qin Xue thought this was one of the nation’s best breakfast combinations. Taking her time, she finished her meal before going to find Li Zhao.

When she arrived, Li Zhao and his family had just finished their breakfast. An Hao set some tea before Qin Xue and started chatting with her.

“I’m Li Zhao’s wife, An Hao. I heard from Zhaozi how you helped him last time, making sure the vegetables were delivered to the Southern Region on time. You’re really capable and we’re very grateful for the huge favor you did for us.”

Only then did Qin Xue find out that the woman from last time was Li Zhao’s wife. No wonder her expression had been off when Qin Xue had first seen her.

She was wearing the same outfit as last time.

But now that An Hao knew Qin Xue had provided the vegetables, her attitude was much warmer. She must have thought Qin Xue and Li Zhao had been involved before, which was why she hadn’t been more uncomfortable with her presence. Now that she knew they were only acquaintances, her attitude changed.

In any case, any wife who saw a stylishly dressed woman they didn’t recognize coming to see their husband would probably feel some discomfort. Qin Xue decided not to dwell on these things..
