Transmigration: Getting Rich with My Space and Supplies novel Chapter 429

Chapter 429: Chapter 363: Will it be detected?

Qin Mei’s eyes widened in indignation, her face flushing red, "Nonsense, my sister-in-law has never mistreated me. She’s the kindest person to me!"

Who was spreading rumors?

Were they trying to take advantage of her brother’s absence to sabotage the harmony of their family?

With this thought, Qin Mei’s eyes reddened as well.

Rong Yan, seeing her puff up in anger like a blowfish, quickly tried to calm her, "Stay calm, we need to stay calm."

"But I’m so angry! How can those people spout such nonsense!" If it had been about herself, she could have let it slide, but slandering her sister-in-law... that she couldn’t tolerate.

Rong Yan was particularly moved, realizing she hadn’t doted on this young girl for nothing.

"There are countless mouths in the world; let them talk! It’s not the truth anyway. Why get worked up? Let’s be magnanimous and not stoop to their level over this matter."

"Sister-in-law..." The young girl’s voice still carried a tone of grievance; she felt wronged on behalf of her sister-in-law.

What did those people know? Her sister-in-law was the best sister-in-law in the world.

"Okay, let’s not dwell on this..." Rong Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, "When I find out who it is, I’ll teach her a lesson."

"Sister-in-law, I think I know who it is..." Qin Mei bit her lip, "It’s definitely that old lady who came to our house..."

Qin Mei’s words surprised Rong Yan, but she quickly realized the young girl was naturally very clever.

It made sense that she would think of that.

"I’ll go ask her later..." Truthfully, she hadn’t really intended to do so.

Such petty incidents really didn’t bother her.

What was meant to pacify her niece somehow turned serious when Qin Mei said, "Sister-in-law, if you’re going to confront her... I want to come with you."

She wanted to tell that old lady herself... that her sister-in-law had never mistreated her!

Rong Yan: ...

I hadn’t planned on confronting anyone!

But faced with Qin Mei’s earnest gaze, finding the words to say she wouldn’t go... became somewhat difficult.

"...Ah, okay!"

Qin Mei pressed, "Sister-in-law, when will you go?"

"...We’ll go if the rumors escalate. If they dissipate, then there’s no need; we have to show some grace," Rong Yan commended her own response.

Fortunately, her mind worked fast.

"Okay." Qin Mei would listen to her sister-in-law, for she thought what her sister-in-law said made perfect sense.

Eager to change the subject, Rong Yan turned to Qin Zhen, who was standing to the side, "You haven’t left yet?"

Qin Zhen: ...

With my imposing presence here, are you just now noticing that I haven’t left?

"Is there something else you need?" her tone implied that whatever Qin Zhen had to say, if there wasn’t anything left... he should leave promptly.

"I..." Can’t I stay here if there’s nothing else?

Before he could voice the latter thought, Rong Wenming and his wife returned.

Upon seeing the arriving couple, Qin Zhen’s eyes brightened.

He stepped forward, "Uncle Rong, Aunt Rong, you’re back! How did it go over there?"

His question immediately informed Rong Wenming and his wife that he was aware of the home robbery.

"All we did was hand over the three individuals to the station and recounted last night’s events... After we were done, we came back home. The rest is up to the police now, we just have to wait for the results; we shouldn’t worry too much about what comes next."

Qin Zhen: "Our old master and Qi Yan have already said they must take the investigation seriously and get to the bottom of it."

"Just go, stop dawdling. What can possibly happen in broad daylight?" Madam Rong was a bit puffed up.

Dealing with three thieves last night... that was a trifle. In the daytime, what trouble could possibly befall them?

Rong Wenming then prepared to push his bicycle.

At this moment, Rong Yan called out to him, "Dad, I bought some breakfast. You should eat before you go, no need to rush. You won’t be late."

"You’ve already bought it? Then fine, I’ll take it and eat on the way." Rong Wenming swiveled his feet and headed for the main house.

Seeing the spread on the table, he smiled, "It’s quite a feast. Two meat buns will do for me."

The rest wasn’t convenient to take.

Madam Rong watched him grab them and leave, saying in an annoyed tone, "Are you really that short on time?"

"I’ve only just started working a couple of days ago, being too late doesn’t look good." Rong Wenming pushed his bicycle and left.

Madam Rong watched him go and no longer bothered about him.

She walked to the tap, washed her hands, and then her face.

"Mom, you eat breakfast first, and afterwards tell me about what happened after you all went to the police station," Rong Yan was curious.

"Alright." Madam Rong had been bustling about for a while and, after expending a lot of energy last night, was really quite hungry now.

After she had eaten breakfast, she began to recount the story...

Listening, Rong Yan asked, "...you mean the red bumps on their faces? They said I poisoned them?"

Madam Rong nodded, "Right, but I said it was mosquito bites... I said we have especially many mosquitoes... Our mosquitoes knew they were up to no good, so they went after them..."

Rong Yan burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"They even insisted on getting a lab test, certain it was poison." Madam Rong was a bit worried, "Did that incredibly stinky thing you had them smell last night actually poison them? Could it be detected?"
