Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1086

Chapter 1086: Chapter 959: This Really Puts My Dad in a Tough Spot

"You’re finally back. They’re all waiting for you to come back and eat together. From the commotion just now, was it that Dai Family girl at the end again making a scene at home?"

As soon as She stepped into the yard, hearing Aunt Chen say that, She realized the woman hadn’t gone out at all, and asked in surprise, "Auntie, how did you know?"

"Her aunt was talking about it while lining up at the supply and marketing cooperative. That girl doesn’t dare openly say she won’t go to the countryside, so she picks fights every day—either the food’s too salty, or the clothes aren’t washed clean."

"Two days ago she even cut her cousin’s clothes into shreds, and the two sisters got into a fight. From the noise just now, I’d say she’s stirring up trouble again."

"I figure it’s useless no matter how much she makes a scene. The Dai Family boys about her age are either in the army or in the Production Corps. How can she, a girl, expect special treatment?"

So that was it. Zhou Jiao nodded thoughtfully. Every family has its hard-to-read scripture; who’s right or wrong—how can outsiders really know clearly?

After dinner, the couple were in no hurry to read the letters from home. Instead, together with their three sons, they carefully went over everything that had happened today at the Dai Family. Naturally, her focus was on what the Dai Family’s eldest granddaughter had done.

"What an idiot!"

"Yeah, she’s stupid beyond saving."

Ping’an’s eyes flickered; he glanced at Zhou Jiao with concern. "Mom, you like Mr. Dai a lot, don’t you?" The implication being: otherwise why risk yourself?

Zhou Jiao gave him a reassuring smile. "Don’t worry."

Ping’an looked at his dad and saw that his expression was perfectly calm; he couldn’t help letting out a breath of relief. "Tomorrow I’ll go see how the Dai Family handles their family affairs."

Liu Yi discreetly nudged his younger brother.

May 1st immediately beamed and said, "Bro, you just go to school. Liu Yi and I can get the news the moment something happens."

Ping’an pondered for a moment. "Maybe... pay more attention to what ends up happening to Dai Meihong in the end."

May 1st frowned slightly. "Brother’s worried the Dai Family won’t drive her out?"

"It’s not impossible. Her mother’s the unreasonable sort who’s always quarreling with people in the courtyard. Didn’t you hear Mom say just now that except for Mr. Dai, no one from the Dai Family has come back?"

Hearing Liu Yi say this, May 1st responded, "That’s not right. They already made it clear they cut ties with that bunch."

Ping’an looked at his two younger brothers. "Don’t concern yourselves too much. Mr. Dai isn’t a fool, he knows how to choose. You just keep a general eye on what’s going on over there."

Zhou Jiao watched the children with satisfaction and smiled at Zhang Guoqing beside her. She had originally planned to talk and guide the kids first; now it seemed unnecessary.

"Have you discussed it enough? Isn’t it time to read the letters now?" Zhang Guoqing picked out Mr. Zhang’s big envelope from the stack of letters and put it on the coffee table. "Here, see what your grandparents wrote?"

Ping’an motioned for his brothers to come over while he himself got up to pour tea, then handed one of the cups to Zhou Jiao. "Mom, did my dad tell you about Wen Yu?"

Zhou Jiao looked him over curiously. "He did. Why?"

"After the commotion at the Dai Family today, will it affect my grandma?" Ping’an hesitated for a moment. "Maybe we should just let him go to the scrap station like he wants?"

Zhou Jiao looked at him and said meaningfully, "Before dealing with anything, you first have to consider all the consequences. How could our family not have made preparations in advance?"

Ping’an nodded.
