Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 158

Chapter 158: Chapter 122: The Inside Story (2)

This time, even if she didn’t go to the Northeast, she would go next year. She mentioned privately that next year Jiao Jiao would be 18, an adult, and that Jiao Jiao must personally sign the lease for the courtyard when she turns 18. Since she’s coming to Beijing, it’s a good time to transfer the bank savings and that large courtyard to her, along with those dowries.

I asked her why not keep something for herself, and she said she plans to give the bank savings of my salary to Jiao Jiao too. Her monthly salary is nearly two hundred, enough for her own use. It’s better to explain things early, in case if anything happens to her, things don’t remain unclear.

Your older sister also worries that I might be reluctant to give everything to Jiao Jiao. But she indeed cares; she’s the biological mother! Even if she hasn’t seen or visited her, in times of trouble, she still thinks about her own child. That’s the same with all mothers."

Lin Liyin stood up, paced around the room for a long time, then walked to her mother, "Mom, your plan is to have my brother-in-law make up the shortfall of 2000 US Dollars, and with my sister’s 20,000, that means we’d need about 25,000 yuan. I only have less than 3000 on hand, what about the rest of the money? Why don’t you just talk to my sister, have her keep it from my brother-in-law? When he returns, they won’t lack money, and his overdue wages alone amount to a lot, higher than my sister’s salary."

"Otherwise, do you understand why I’m in a hurry to make up 20,000? If your brother-in-law’s salary makes up 50,000, and your sister doesn’t reach 20,000, how can I face your brother-in-law? Don’t tell your sister anything, she can’t keep secrets, and her husband is the head of the family. Believe it or not, she wouldn’t suspect her husband of having secret funds.

From what I know about Zhou Xiaozheng, that guy still has something up his sleeve, he just hasn’t shown it. Your father says Jiao Jiao doesn’t trust others, like her father, the two of them are shrewd, your sister is lucky to have them. Your money will cover the 2000 yuan for the courtyard, Jianjun knows it’s a loan, so you won’t be troubled. Wait until your big brother’s salary comes in, and we’ll move things around. We’ll deal with future issues later. If there’s no other way, I’ll sell the remaining gold on hand. I originally wanted to save it for three grandsons, but let’s see."

Lin Liyin sat down on the bed, leaning against the headboard and slowly said, "Mom, do you really think my sister is lucky? When my brother-in-law returns, will they still share a bond, or drift apart? I’m still worried. What Dad said, is it true— that Jiao Jiao would truly protect my sister, even if my brother-in-law has a wandering eye? If my brother-in-law ignores her, my sister probably won’t bear it, I wonder if she can overcome this hurdle?"

"Haha, rest assured. If Jiao Jiao is smart, she will definitely protect your sister. Her dad is still young, and if he were to find someone as a stepmother for her, she might even find ways to break them up without hesitation. No one would welcome a stranger beside her dad, or taking her place once the child is born.

Moreover, no matter how angry your brother-in-law gets, he won’t blame your sister. He’s truly a man, preferring to shoulder issues on his own, even blaming himself. However, he does have some distance with us.

For the Zhou Family, this time, they might really sever ties. He never had a good relationship with the Zhou Family. Now, his precious daughter is cutting loose the burdens for him. He must be too delighted.

With just the fact that your sister is Jiao Jiao’s mother and waited for him all these years, she can live without worry. Your sister’s stubbornness brings its own fortune. Luckily she didn’t listen to me. If she had married someone else, Zhou Xiaozheng and Jiao Jiao wouldn’t even bother with us, they’d treat us worse than strangers. Their path would have truly ended. They’re such proud people by nature, tolerating no betrayal or deceit."
