Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1084

Chapter 1084: Chapter 957: Whose Family Is in Trouble?

On the green path inside the Big Courtyard, Zhang Guoqing waited for his wife, occasionally nodding and greeting passersby as they strolled, softly conversing with each other.

After Zhou Jiao roughly understood the trivial matters going on, she smiled, "Did you read the letter from mom and dad? Are they planning to visit?"

Zhang Guoqing immediately slapped his forehead, "When I first received the letter, Little Aunt called, and then I ran into Yu outside. I really forgot, the letter is still in the study."

"Silly, does it hurt? You can read it later when you go back, why hit yourself? It’s all red."

With his wife’s concern, Zhang Guoqing seemed to forget the pain, grinning happily. Just as he was about to say a few sweet words, the commotion ahead caught their attention.

The couple exchanged glances, wondering whose family was in trouble?

"Jiao Jiao, you head home first, I’ll go check it out."

Zhou Jiao quickly grabbed his clothes, "Together!"

Looking out from the path, more and more people headed in that direction. Zhang Guoqing reluctantly glanced at his wife and quickly led her towards the commotion.

A few hundred meters from the Zhou Family, a small courtyard was crowded with people. From afar, voices of persuasion, murmurs, and familiar slogans could be heard...

"You want to search, then show me the search warrant!"

"Stop making trouble, young one, detain these stubborn elements first."

"Let’s see who dares?"

"Alright, even your eldest granddaughter reported you, and you still dare to resist! Are you all dead? Get up there. Revolutionary work doesn’t fear sacrifice. If you don’t go, I will."

Using his height to his advantage, Zhang Guoqing stood behind the crowd and saw a group inside aiming wooden rifles at Mr. Dai, shocking him instantly. He whispered to Zhou Jiao and pushed through the crowd.

He smiled as he approached, "What’s going on here? What’s going on? We can talk it out, isn’t it said that without investigation, there’s no right to speak?"

"Who are you? Could you be one of their counter-revolutionary allies..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guoqing immediately smacked the head of the unfriendly young man, "I’ve been a poor peasant for eight generations, can’t you speak properly?"

Then, he glared at the leader, "Sango, so you’ve been promoted and don’t recognize your brother? Do you look down on your old brother the mud-legged soldier now?"

Nicknamed Sango, officially known as Zhang Hongwei, he turned to see Zhang Guoqing and immediately kicked the young man, "Get out of the way, this is none of your business."

He then quickly stepped to Zhang Guoqing’s side and whispered, "Brother Wu, do me a favor. It’s the eldest granddaughter of this family who reported them. I’m just following orders. Just stand aside, when I finish handling this, I’ll buy you a drink and apologize, alright?"

Zhang Guoqing patted his shoulder with a smile, "Brother, am I that insensitive? I understand this is your job, you do your thing, I’ll just watch from the side."

Zhang Hongwei knew everyone would’ve preferred to stay out of it, not worrying that Zhang Guoqing would assist the other party. He repeated his intention to search the house for evidence of rebellious books.

"You, come over here, tell us what this old man has hidden?"

The eldest granddaughter of the Dai Family, only sixteen, boldly pointed towards the house, calling out with righteous fervor, "It’s in the third room on the right after entering, it’s a study, the third shelf against the wall has three counter-revolutionary books, I’m completely severing ties with this family."
