Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1217

Chapter 1217: Chapter 1090: Mother Zhang’s Scheme

In fact, Zhang the Second guessed wrong. Mother Zhang was the only one who clearly knew the truth.

But she chose to conceal it and decided to discuss it later with her youngest son.

Zhang Guoqing deliberately came back early from work and saw his mother sitting there in a daze. He quickly scooted beside her, "Mom, how about your youngest son accompanies you for a walk?"

"Sure, we won’t go far, just walk around nearby?"

Zhang Guoqing was secretly surprised by her words, but only paid attention to her expression. Smiling, he took one of her coats and supported her out the door.

"Mom, why didn’t you ask Ping’an and the others to take you out for a walk?"

"Those three have been quite busy these days, one moment accompanying your dad visiting people, the next with your second brother. Just after May 1st, they were chatting with me, and I urged them to go read instead."

"Mom, we’ll take you for a walk nearby this weekend."

Mother Zhang shook her head, "No need to trouble yourselves, I see you all are busy daily. Jiao Jiao just came by around noon. Besides, I’m troubled at heart, no mood to go anywhere."

"Mom, what’s the matter? Tell me, anything your youngest son can handle, I’ll definitely take care of it for you." Zhang Guoqing looked at his mother’s worried face and thought she looked happiest when she’s carefree and laughing.

"Silly child! If only my daughters-in-law were all like Jiao Jiao, no, like your second sister-in-law, I’d be content."

Zhang Guoqing’s gaze darkened. His second brother underestimated their mother, who clearly knew everything.

"Xiao Wu, your second brother must have told you in the past two days, right?"

Zhang Guoqing wasn’t sure how much she knew, so he replied vaguely, "He mentioned it a bit."

"Do you think I wouldn’t know my own sons? That second one, as narrow-minded as he is, not exaggerating in front of you is already good enough; would he not spill it all?"

Zhang Guoqing chuckled, "Mom, you still have a sharp eye, nothing can get past you."

"Did he tell you how he and your eldest sister-in-law had a scene at the Old Huang Family?"

Zhang Guoqing made an acknowledging sound.

"My three sons are truly filial. Your two brothers want to keep your father and me in the dark, but they forget, if something happens, wouldn’t your eldest sister-in-law come knocking?"

"One day, as soon as your dad went out, she rushed into the courtyard. When she saw me, she knelt and kowtowed, yet wouldn’t speak, just cried non-stop.

Almost scared me to death, how unlucky. I couldn’t stand the cold after a while, so I ignored her and went inside, and guess what, she followed and knelt indoors.

Kept saying she was wrong, that your brother no longer wanted her, and she wouldn’t dare talk back to her brother-in-law. Between the lines, she meant your brothers bullied her.

Could I not know my own sons? After some pressing, she finally confessed why they quarreled, it made me so mad I didn’t want to deal with her. But what could I do? They’re married already. I didn’t say anything until it was almost time to leave the office, then she left too."

Zhang Guoqing sighed inwardly. It really was like a toad stuck to the foot, won’t bite, but gets on your nerves. "Mom, eldest brother will handle it, you should just leave it to him."

Mother Zhang patted him, "Just hold on, there’s more to it."

Zhang Guoqing blinked, could it be a conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?

"Back then, I felt that something else must be up, otherwise your second brother wouldn’t have quarreled with her. After a day, your eldest sister-in-law came back again, this time without kneeling, just wiping tears, making me feel sorry for her.

But who am I?

I told her, if you don’t speak the truth, I can’t help you. I know my son, the second one wouldn’t fall out with you over something trivial, you must have done something significant. If you don’t say it, fine, I’ll go find Zhang the First and Zhang the Second now, and we’ll clear it up. Can you guess what she said?"
