Chapter 447: 452 Danger is Around 3_1

Lin Xiangwan tilted her cheek slightly, without a hint of fear, staring at her.

Xu Feng’e walked up to her and asked in a very low voice, full of anger, "Are you deliberately antagonizing me, aren’t you?"

Lin Xiangwan looked confused and asked in disbelief, "Auntie, why would you say that? Why would I target you?"

She asked in a loud voice, certain that everyone in the house could hear.

Xu Feng’e’s face reddened and then paled in embarrassment, she replied, "When did I say you were targeting me?"

Lin Xiangwan asked innocently, "But just now you clearly said that to me!"

"Child, can you be more responsible for what you say?" Xu Feng’e felt utterly humiliated.

A normal person wouldn’t talk like this in front of the servants, right?

If you’re not going to save me face, at least save yourself some, but she actually allowed herself to be questioned out loud.

Just then, the Qin Family’s old grandmother appeared, having heard the dispute in the living room, her gaze immediately sharpened. "What’s going on now? Not a single peaceful day, not letting me even take an afternoon nap!"

"Mom, there is no dispute. I’ve just asked everyone to clean up the house, as it’s been quite messy. I am free anyway, and thought to better be productive and do some work. As it turned out, this kid said I was targeting her." Xu Feng’e said in a condemnatory and self-praising manner.

Lin Xiangwan nearly choked, Xu Feng’e was shameless to the point of feigning idle when she clearly wasn’t.

"Yes, the aunts have all been terribly tired. The time for the afternoon rest period has passed due to everyone doubling their efforts. Auntie is also exhausted, lamenting every now and then about the lamp shades or the glass!" Lin Xiangwan quite enviously added, "Auntie, your vision is amazing! Despite your age, there’s no sign of vision deterioration at all. I can’t, my vision has suffered because of the stress from studying!"

Xu Feng’e rolled her eyes.

The grandmother glanced at the messy living room and said angrily, "What on earth is this cleaning? It’s messier than before!"

The group of maids felt particularly wronged but didn’t know what to say.

"Isn’t it because we haven’t finished yet? Once we do, it will be clean!" Xu Feng’e softly explained.

Lin Xiangwan didn’t respond, but quickly rolled up her sleeves and joined the others in their duties. She picked up a broom and began to sweep the floor.

The group of maids felt embarrassed and tried to take the cleaning tools out of her hands. "Young Miss, this is not your job!"

"What is not my job? Even elementary school students can do this work, why can’t adults? Hurry up, let’s clean up the room so that grandma and grandpa will be pleased when they see it."

"Mom, I’ll sweep too!" Qin Yutong took a broom.

"I’ll do it too!" Lin Haoran picked up a mop.

The two children were striving to outdo each other, working with the same diligency as the adults.

The grandmother looked at Xu Feng’e and said scornfully, "Xu Feng’e, while I did let you stay here, I certainly didn’t do so for you to order people around here. What gives you the right to dictate what everybody should be doing here?"

"I..."

"Let me tell you, you have nothing to do with this. The butler takes care of the housecleaning. Mind your own business!" The old grandmother bluntly replied.

"Oh..." Xu Feng’e, amid all the unwillingness and humiliations, had no choice but to endure it silently.

Lin Xiangwan was laughing secretly on one side. Even though she didn’t gain anything special, she never intended to. As long as that wicked woman was scolded, she would be pleased.

Lin Xiangwan silently worked alongside the others until the whole house was tidied up, so did the two children.

Back in her room, Lin Xiangwan heartily praised the two children. "Good job. I didn’t expect you two to make such progress recently. Keep it up. Now, here’s some reward for you, a smiling face for Ranran and a smiling face for Tongtong!"

The two children were thrilled to receive the smiling face and carefully put it away.

For the record, it wasn’t that they were easily deceived, that they could be persuaded with a smiley face.

But with twenty smiley faces, they could exchange for one hundred fifty dollars. Indeed, this little smiley face was very valuable!

Upon seeing this, Qin Muchuan could not help but tease Lin Xiangwan again, "Have you tricked the kids into doing your bidding again?"

Lin Xiangwan frowned at Qin Muchuan, not wishing to engage in more conversation with him.

This man can be so unseemly. Couldn’t he recognize the inappropriateness of disparaging her in front of the children?

What does he mean, tricking the kids? It’s more accurate to say it’s about inspiring the children’s interest in doing things, and nurturing in them the habit of working hard reaping rewards.

Moreover, doing housework can enhance their IQ and intelligence. It’s certainly a good thing.

The two children looked at their mother, and then at her again.

Lin Xiangwan quickly reassured them, "Don’t listen to his nonsense. He’s just jealous because he didn’t get a chance to earn a smiley face, and he deliberately said that to sow discord between us, mother and children. Can you let him succeed?"

The two children shook their heads in understanding.

"Mom, we’re not that silly. We’re the best, no one can sow discord between us!" Lin Haoran said.

Qin Yutong also nodded, "Of course, I know dad must despise our smiley faces, and moreover, Ranran and I do things not merely for the money. If there’s something we can do, we’ll just do it! To receive encouragement from mom is indeed the best reward!"

The words of the two children were highly comforting to hear.

Lin Xiangwan gave a satisfied smile, "Indeed, I have two very clever and sensible children."

Qin Muchuan smiled.

.........

When Qin Gang returned home that evening, he was immediately called into his mother’s room.

"Mom, it’s late. Shouldn’t you be sleeping?" Qin Gang stood beside his mother’s bed.

"With all the commotion going on in your house, tell me, how can I sleep?" The old woman raised her mournful voice.

Qin Gang also spoke angrily, "I said earlier that we shouldn’t move here, but she insisted!"

"Look at you, at your age, why are you still ogling other women outside?"

"Mom, who told you this? It’s not true!" Qin Gang denied.

"Your wife told me, would she lie?"

"Again it’s her, I knew she would not say anything good about me to you!" Qin Gang said angrily.

"Hmm..."

"This woman, I swear, sooner or later is going to divorce her!"
