Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 149

Chapter 149: Chapter 118: Lin Family of Beijing (Part 3)

Lin Liyin thought for a bit and cautiously said, "Could it be that she knows you’ve been there and feels she has support?"

Beside her, Li Jianjun immediately rebuffed, "No way, even if Dad hadn’t gone, just based on the things she said, she could already have determined it for many people. Support in what? A job? Didn’t Dad say it? That child doesn’t want to be a soldier.

Money doesn’t mean much for a couple like them. I think the key is that sentence, ’my maternal grandfather in Beijing,’ whose grandfather, that’s something we need to clarify; otherwise, it could lead to trouble. This might be her bottom line; to be prepared, it’s better to take the initiative. People who are good at chess think about the endgame. By making such a scene in public, who would dare mention her again in the future?

On the contrary, she can’t let Dad and Big Sis be her support. She has to portray herself as a pitiful creature oppressed without a father, enduring silently for her family and Old Zhou’s family, holding in her grievances.

As for those final three kowtows, who can say she is heartless and without feelings? Even if she becomes successful later, her departure from the oppressive Old Zhou’s family wouldn’t be questioned. It’s killing three birds with one stone. Doesn’t she know her father is alive? She’ll take this opportunity to end this relationship with him. Who’d dare speak ill of her father then? It also spares him the trouble of everyone holding him back. There are many benefits; you figure it out, and you’ll understand. The question is—did she set a trap to draw the other side out?"

Mr. Lin sighed and nodded, "At that time, the three of us watched the entire scene live, and Zhang Guoqing saw us but acted as if he didn’t. The entire affair between the couple was coordinated. Eight or nine times out of ten, they set a trap to lure people in.

Zhou Jiao’s nature doesn’t like to speak ill of people, and it’s rare to hear anything unpleasant from her about the Zhou family. But on that day, it just happened so coincidentally. If she hadn’t been calculating, she’d have been chewed up to the bone remnants at Old Zhou’s family by now.

Fortunately, the couple is good-natured; otherwise, it would have been a disaster. Zhang Guoqing is known for his righteousness; he’s famous in the county. Regardless of age, everyone who’s dealt with him speaks highly of him. Even before we arrived, the county’s public security bureau director had already reserved a spot for him to go to work. He even figured out a way to plan to enter the armed forces.

What are we supporting him with? Jiao Jiao isn’t interested. The couple’s ambition doesn’t lie here. Besides, they’ve guessed that Zhou Xiaozheng has returned; what do they need us for?

Jiao Jiao maintains her composure very well. Zhang Guoqing listens to her opinions. Some things are not easy to say out loud; Zhang Guoqing is not just a simple rural boy. Soon, you will see, watch that couple, you’ll find out I am not exaggerating; even Xiao Zhou has praised them several times."

Xiao Zhou listened and nodded seriously. He thought to himself, what’s the use of the old man wanting the family to understand Zhang Guoqing and his wife’s nature? The ones who needed to understand have long since understood, like Li Jianjun. Those who don’t will roll their eyes in secret.

He glanced at the eldest daughter of the Lin family beside the old lady, and heh, she really is a young lady; she still refuses to accept it. Not even a single strand of her hair compares to Zhou Jiao. Watching her sit without any form, lazily, he shook his head secretly. Who outside would know that Lin Xueling, who always professes equality, is like this at heart? He himself came from the countryside and has seen many such people who say one thing but mean another. It seems the director’s efforts are all in vain.

Mrs. Lin opened her mouth several times but closed it again in the end. She held back and finally asked, "Old man, does Zhou Jiao really look like me? Did she really learn ’Three Character Classic’ and ’Thousand Character Classic’ at the age of three? Does she really have a photographic memory?"
