Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148: Chapter 118: Lin Family of Beijing (Part 3)

"What do you think after hearing that? This is a 17-year-old rural girl who has never seen the world. She said one thing that’s true; she really doesn’t care about money.

When she got married, Zhang Guoqing’s family gave her a high-priced dowry of 800 yuan, and the Zhou Family didn’t provide any dowry. She used the dowry to buy a sewing machine and brought the rest into the Zhang Family. Zhang Guoqing wanted to buy her big items, but she refused, saying it wasn’t necessary. The family already had a bicycle, so the more low-key she could be, the better. Her cousin had just married out, and besides the "three turns and one ring," there were many other valuable items, but she didn’t even glance at them.

At 17, who wouldn’t want to marry into a family splendidly and with dignity? But how about her? In her in-laws’ family, she handles everything with utmost care. Her two sisters-in-law treat her like their own sister, and her mother-in-law and father-in-law are partial to her.

That was even when her household registration wasn’t local, she had no rations, and no dowry, yet the family protected her. At that time, those people surrounded the Zhang Family’s gate, and everyone in the Zhang Family stood behind her cautiously, afraid of any accidents. Zhang Guoqing protected her, didn’t say a word the whole time, just stood firmly next to her on her left side, while her two sisters-in-law were on her right side, blocking the Zhou Family girl from getting close.

Zhou Jiao knows how to conduct herself. When I saw it, I knew this family was kind-hearted. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have married in. And why did Zhou Jiao get married so early?

Her aunt intended to marry her off to a nephew from her maternal family, which Zhou Jiao found out about. Poor thing, she had no one to help her in the Zhou Family. She said she never thought of running to Beijing to find us. When she was upset about this, Zhang Guoqing received a military recruitment spot from an acquaintance. He immediately went to Zhou Jiao saying he didn’t want to join the army, fearing that if he went, he might end up like her father, leaving no one beside her, feeling heartache for her, so he refused. It was this sentence. Zhou Jiao told Zhang Guoqing, if he wouldn’t regret it, to propose for marriage. She gave him three days to consider before getting his parents’ consent and asking a matchmaker to formally visit.

After returning, Jiao Jiao feared that the Zhou Family wouldn’t let her marry and would scheme against her, so she went to her grandmother, telling her she wanted to marry Zhang Guoqing. If they disagreed, she would return to Beijing. As expected, Old Man Zhou couldn’t bear to lose her, so he agreed with a stern face.
