Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1016

Chapter 1016: Chapter 889: Everything Is Predestined

"What’s far apart?"

Old Mrs. Cheng happened to hear these words as she walked in and asked casually.

"It’s about Xiao Ying, they are moving to the Big Courtyard."

The old lady glanced at Miao Lishan, just as Zhou Jiao said, "Yes, it is far apart, you are Miao by name, not Lin. People’s hearts are unpredictable, sometimes you have to be cautious."

Miao Lishan nodded, "I know, especially now, more caution is needed."

"Indeed, you need to be careful, I just talked to an old friend over the phone," the old lady said, looking at her deliberately, "something really happened to the Liang Family, Liang Shengnan even announced severing relationships with her natal family during the day."

"What? How did she..." Miao Lishan exclaimed in shock. It was too unbelievable!

Zhou Jiao’s eyes flashed with a hint of darkness, and she smiled sarcastically, "What’s impossible? Auntie, from what you said, does it mean there’s another surprise tonight?"

The old lady approvingly patted her, "Indeed, very clever."

Clever my foot! Zhou Jiao complained silently. She knew too well the trouble caused herself, how could she not guess? Just not sure how things decided after those letters are revealed above.

"Originally, Liang Shengnan was already free. Although many people despised her actions, after all..." The old lady shook her head and laughed scornfully, "Who would have expected to really find the secret letters of Old Liang and his daughter when it got dark."

Zhou Jiao expressed sympathy, "Indeed, man proposes but heaven disposes."

"Exactly. Now everyone is waiting for the decision from above. Quite a few people have fallen under Liang Shengnan’s hand during this time, who doesn’t have friends or family, right? Debts always need to be repaid."

Miao Lishan frowned, "Is Brother Zheng’s delay in coming back related to this matter?"

Zhou Jiao glanced at her mother in surprise. Whenever involving her dad, her mom’s smartness would go on full display. It was somewhat funny and distressing to her.

Footsteps approached from the outside, Old Mrs. Cheng subtly shook her head at the mother and daughter.

After a while, the aunt came in carrying a tray, "Old lady, I made three bowls, will that be enough?"

"Is there more? Have some yourself."

"There’s plenty."

The topic was temporarily interrupted, Zhou Jiao served a bowl from the tray, starting with the old lady, and finally picking up a bowl for herself. She thought about things all day long today and hadn’t had dinner—drinking sweet date porridge warmed her from the inside out.

"Old lady, the date trees have been removed this year, there aren’t many dates left. It’s hard to often enjoy date porridge or date cakes afterward."

The old lady laughed, "It’s alright. Without dates, even the millet porridge made by your hand is delicious."

"As long as you like it. I’ll go to the kitchen now; I will tidy up the bowls afterward."

"Alright, have some yourself too."

Once the aunt left, Miao Lishan immediately said, "Auntie, you have yours, I’ll ask people to inquire later."

"No need, the eldest and the second often send things back; we don’t lack these foods at home. Seeking others would mean owing favors, it’s unnecessary."

After the old lady spoke, she sighed wistfully, "Food isn’t much of a concern; compared to average families, these days are rather affluent."

"Yes, now I tell myself every day to be contented and happy. I didn’t understand the depth of this saying before; several times I saw people packing small parcels from the Friendship Store and I envied them."
