Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1042

Chapter 1042: Chapter 915: One Man’s Honey Is Another Man’s Poison

Zhang Guoqing understood her implied meaning and nodded in agreement. Those figures who are fixtures on the board are more despicable than the bootlickers; when the time comes to break through directly, let’s see who dares to intervene.

"The superiors lead by example, mistaking trivialities for orders, openly persecuting some people under various pretenses for personal gain. They’ve truly gone mad, their conduct is ugly."

"Even here in the Imperial City, they act without remorse; in remote places, isn’t it just the local overlords doing whatever they please?"

Under the lamplight, as she looked at him with bright eyes, she sneered and pouted disdainfully. This little expression was completely unguarded in front of him.

Zhang Guoqing chuckled and patted her head, "Silly wife, this isn’t like you." Not only was her behavior more relaxed, but her mentality also started to change.

With her long hair cut short, the young wife seemed even more youthful and innocent. Zhang Guoqing secretly pondered whether he should also learn how to maintain himself; otherwise, the age gap between husband and wife might be too glaring.

"Hotheaded?" Zhou Jiao shook her head with a light laugh. She too was just an ordinary person, often not daring to voice her objection on the spot, fearing that one wrong move would have her dragged out as an accomplice.

She was tied to this world, with parents, a husband, a son; she wouldn’t dare let her rashness put her loved ones in a predicament.

Even acting secretly, she’d worry about being exposed. It’s no wonder everyone nowadays feels uneasy, managing to keep the family intact amidst chaos is the limit.

"You’ve done very well," and Zhang Guoqing truly felt she was being honest. In recent days, his wife wasn’t just accumulating wealth; she was also distributing most of it.

He didn’t want unpleasant matters to affect his wife’s mood, especially worrying she’d recall those distressing scenarios. Who could feel light-hearted seeing decent people beaten for unfounded charges and badly hurt?

After complimenting her, he playfully pretended to be a money grubber, "Once things stabilize a bit, we’ll take a holiday far away. A single night could earn thousands, tsk tsk, what’s faster than this to make money?"

Zhou Jiao laughed despite herself. She knew he was joking, yet inwardly agreed wholeheartedly. If wrongfully gained wealth could be shared by all, it might as well be saved for her future charitable endeavors.

With those people, wait until they lose and leave wealth for their descendants?

Though she didn’t agree with the saying about noble sons and daughters, she found some truth in the idea that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes to phoenixes, and mice would know how to burrow.

See how, in the current environment, isn’t the deep-rooted malice in human nature fully triggered?

Speaking of future generations, Zhou Jiao thought of her son and worriedly asked, "It’s been a while since school started for Ping’an, should we send a telegram asking them to return first?"

"Just for that bit of knowledge at school?" Zhang Guoqing dismissively shook his head, "Since spring has arrived, let them stay a bit longer in the Southwest."

"There are many mountains over there; I’ve already asked Brother Xiao Chen and a few others to take Ping’an to collect herbs and hunt when they have time. If the old lady plans to stay a bit longer, I would also want your master to take Ping’an to stroll around when he returns."

As she remained silent, Zhang Guoqing explained, "With our son’s intelligence, never mind if Ping’an attends classes or not, even Liu Yi and his brother can understand their elder brother’s textbooks, not hindering their education."

Zhou Jiao smiled and nodded. Regarding school curriculum, she had no worries. Apart from language, math, and English, there were industrial and agricultural basic knowledge.

Not to mention the language textbooks filled with era-appropriate text. The math textbooks had calculations like how much money was exploited by landlords before liberation?

And the simple 26 letters in English textbooks and their praises. Truly simple, though industrial and agricultural basic knowledge was practical, touching upon some physics and chemistry content.
