Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1205

Chapter 1205: Chapter 1078: Is Someone Like Him Worthy of Being My Son-in-law?

"Back already? Come in, let me tell you something."

As soon as Zhang the Second entered the house, he saw Lin Juhua lift the curtain and wave at him, "What are you doing, woman, am I a dog?"

Lin Juhua looked at her own pose and couldn’t help but chuckle.

"You’re getting bolder, even daring to tease your husband. Where are the kids?"

"They all ran out to play, said something about plum blossoms blooming, wanted me to go, but I didn’t." Lin Juhua said as she followed him inside.

Zhang the Second took off his coat and threw it onto the kang, immediately noticing the frozen pears and pastries on the kang table, "Had guests over?"

Lin Juhua gave him a side glance, "Can’t I just eat it myself?"

Zhang the Second just smiled.

His wife’s sweet tooth was incurable, but she was also frugal. If he remembered correctly, those boxes of pastries were reserved for guests.

"Aunt Zuo came by today."

Zhang the Second raised an eyebrow, took off his shoes, and climbed onto the kang. He didn’t believe she could hold back from talking.

"Aren’t you going to ask? At least say something."

"Squeak."

Lin Juhua burst into laughter, "Alright, I’ll tell you. Aunt Zuo wasn’t alone; she was dragged over by her old friend."

Zhang the Second waved his hand, "Our Mai Sui isn’t considering relationships now."

"You knew?"

Zhang the Second gave her a disdainful glance, "I guessed it."

"But this family is quite nice. The guy got into Beijing University and has liked our girl for a long time, never dared to say anything. Now that he’s passed, his grandmother came to propose."

Zhang the Second snorted, "Coward! How could someone like that be worthy of being my son-in-law? What’s a mere university student flaunting about? If the college entrance exams hadn’t been restored, where’s the manliness?"

Lin Juhua sighed in disappointment, "You really don’t want to? I’ll go and return the message later."

Zhang the Second was silent for a moment, "Such a boy isn’t good enough for our girl. Mai Sui has many considerations; let her choose herself. If it doesn’t work out, she can wait until after graduation."

Lin Juhua immediately slumped her shoulders, "So old, and there’ll still be someone who wants her?"

Zhang the Second laughed heartily. This silly woman, doesn’t she understand the times? She still thinks it’s pre-revolution? Women with skills can find any man, why wrong herself?

Moreover, to shamelessly say, the kid went to Beijing, she’s talented and beautiful, and with her uncle and aunt there, and the Ping An brothers, what’s he worried about?

He’s actually worried they won’t have good choices then. Being well-matched also requires confidence, better not to marry than to wrong the child with problems later.

"What did Aunt Zuo say?"

"She didn’t say much, just mentioned the guy’s conditions. But that elder woman talked a lot; I just said that decisions about the child need your and the grandparents’ agreement."

Zhang the Second thought it made sense, "Then I’ll tell you, but don’t let others know, especially not the grandparents."

Lin Juhua’s eyes sparkled, nodding repeatedly, "Okay, okay, tell me."

His wife loved gossip so much, shouldn’t he tease her a bit before telling? Zhang the Second decided to have a sip first, he remembered there was still fire.

Seeing him slowly sipping, Lin Juhua wished she could forcefully pour it down, but she dared not, she could only eagerly follow the cup’s movements with her eyes.

Zhang the Second teased enough, slowly put down the cup, "It’s not a big deal, she, has a mental problem! That day early in the morning I went..."

After Lin Juhua listened to him, she wasn’t in the mood for gossip. Who was her man? In this county, who wasn’t happy to have her husband visit?

This isn’t even a big deal, if real issues arose, wouldn’t they be kicked out? She had always respected big sister-in-law like family, what nonsense!

Her face immediately darkened, angrily saying, "Biting the hand that feeds! Really thought my husband went to her for help?"

Zhang the Second shook his head with a chuckle, "Weren’t you always saying good things about her in front of the grandparents?"

Lin Juhua glared at him, "I was being grateful, understand?" She sighed, "Didn’t mom tell me how she spoke well of me back then?"

"I never thought I’d treat her so well, and she still had issues with my husband. What was she thinking? Aren’t you three brothers getting closer? Who can be closer than family?"

Just look at Xiao Wu, how much has he done for you guys? Could an outsider do the same? She’s resentful because Shi Tou and Mai Sui got in, but aren’t they her niece and nephew?

No wonder she kept talking to me about how much others helped. Does she think we didn’t give enough gift money to Xiao Wu’s family? I stupidly said it’s good to have give-and-take."
