Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 154

Chapter 154: Chapter 121: The Inside Story (1)

Mrs. Lin watched as the aunt and niece fiercely argued, neither willing to give an inch. She sighed, thinking that certain things needed to be clarified to prevent future disputes.

Mrs. Lin pulled her youngest daughter to sit down, frowning as she said, "Stop arguing, it’s giving me a headache. Xiao Lin, you sit down too. Since your aunt has brought this up today, your grandmother also has something to tell you."

Chen Jingru pulled her daughter to sit next to the old lady. Then they heard the old lady continue, "Xiao Lin was too young to understand back then. Jingru and Liyin, you should know some things. When Zhou Xiaozheng got into trouble, Shanshan was desperate, unable to stay in that house any longer. I told Shanshan to give me their savings for safekeeping.

At the time, they gave me two passbooks. The total amount was a large sum, even more than our family’s money, all from Zhou Xiaozheng’s private savings. It was specifically left for Shanshan to support Jiao Jiao; the interest alone was enough to take care of her. Later, I brought Shanshan to live at home, and this money is still with me. Besides this money, I also had Shanshan deposit any extra from her salary with me.

Over the years, our family expenses were too high, and I moved some of the money. Now that Zhou Xiaozheng is back, without even talking about the principal, the interest alone has multiplied several times in the bank, yet I can’t immediately produce the principal. Moreover, we haven’t taken care of Zhou Jiao; this matter can’t be delayed, otherwise, the Lin Family’s reputation will be ruined.

Logically, when your aunt went to find Zhou Jiao, she should have taken this money to her. She clearly knew Zhou Xiaozheng would definitely ask about it once he saw Zhou Jiao. But I really couldn’t manage it this time; I must gather it all before returning it to him, right?

Therefore, Xiao Lin, you really can’t compare with Zhou Jiao. Her father left her a considerable amount of money. You’re saying your aunt’s money belongs to the Lin Family. That’s wrong! Zhou Jiao’s dowry, including the interest, can’t be exhausted; all of it is Zhou Xiaozheng’s money. Our family even keeps your aunt’s salary with grandma.
